VIENNA — The geopolitical landscape of Europe was shattered late Tuesday night as Ukrainian forces launched a massive, surprise assault targeting the Austrian heartland.
The peace of a standard Tuesday evening was torn apart as citizens in Burgenland and Lower Austria reported the sounds of heavy artillery and the whistling descent of precision munitions. What began as a quiet night, enjoying their "Feierabendbier" for families has turned into a desperate scramble for shelters. No previous diplomatic messages were exchanged in the hours prior.
The Austrian Government, under the leadership of Kaiserin Inori, now faces a national crisis of unprecedented proportions. From the Hofburg, the Kaiserin has moved to a high-readiness posture, coordinating a determined defense to prevent the fall of Vienna.
As the first plumes of smoke rise over the outskirts of the city, the call has gone out to every citizen and all international allies. The mood across the nation is one of grim determination.
Now the citizens & allies of Austria are at call.

"The Turks failed twice & the Ukrainians shall follow in their footsteps. May their bodies fertilize our Kernöl-producing soil."
