Controversial wedding guest Vladimir Putin dances with Austria's foreign minister on her big day
Russian President Vladimir Putin brought singing Cossacks, controversy and his dancing shoes to the wedding of the Austrian foreign minister Saturday. Putin was a surprise guest at the wedding of Karin Kneissl, an independent who was selected for her post by Austria's pro-Russian far-right party, according to reports.
Guests watched as Putin danced with Kneissl who married businessman Wolfgang Meilinger at a vineyard in Austria's Styria state. He was reportedly invited during a visit to Austria last year.
Frau Dr. Kneissl: sharp-minded, clear-headed, well educated, broad experience (international academia/publishing/diplomacy).
Not a carreer politician, no party affiliation.
She is clearly outside the Baizuo-bubble (and against it), EU-Baizuo in particular. Exemplary for rising "Euro-Trumpism". Excellent choice as Austria's foreign minister.
1 Kneissl, 5 minutes, 3 languages :
Opening 20 sec: arrival in Brussels (February 2018, EU Foreign Affairs Council, topic: Syria)
Quickie: samples of her linguistic versatility (and clear mind), at: 4:05 - 4:55 - 6:55 - 7:50.
And for a good measure, she is fluent in French, Spanish, Italian, plus basic Hebrew, Hungarian.
Not to mention her sympathic, warm personality.

This is all well and good, Comrade Dummkopf - but does Frau Dr. Kneissl like Novichok in her Wiener Schnitzel?
