Apparently Russia has again been violating the airspace of Romania – a NATO member. Is Russia fully aware of NATO's Article 5?

Romania is investigating whether Russia once again violated its airspace during its latest attack on Ukraine on the night of Sept. 29-30, Romania's Digi24 news site reported, citing the country's Defense Ministry. The ministry reported that, as Russia was attacking Ukraine's ports on the Danube river, air alert sirens were activated in the nearby Romanian cities of Tulcea and Galati as radar systems detected an unsanctioned object heading towards the latter in Romania's airspace. Local residents said that they saw something fall from the sky and heard the sounds of low-flying military jets. Local authorities are still looking for evidence of an attack. This isn't the first time that Russian attacks on the Danube ports violated Romania's territory. Romania's Foreign Ministry summoned the head of the Russian mission in the country to answer for how Russian drone debris ended up in Romanian territory on Sept. 9. Romania has introduced new security measures to protect the civilian population near the Danube River.

Russia has no fucking business in Ukraine in the first place. It needs to get out before its reckless actions trigger Article 5.

THE DANUBE

From the time of the Romans onwards, from the time when our authentic chronicles begin, this mighty river has along its many hundreds of miles been the scene of so much history-making that to present the full story of the Danube would be to re-tell a large part of the history of the Continent during two thousand years. Such, it need scarcely be said, is not my aim or intention. To bring within the compass of a single volume some indication of the manifold beauties of the river, some hint of the romance that attaches to its castled crags, its villages, towns and cities, some suggestion of the great happenings of the past, some hint of the fascination of the present, is all that I can hope to do. And even so I am primarily concerned with presenting something of the story of the “scenic” Danube—that great stretch of the river which runs[Pg vii] from near Ratisbon in Bavaria to the Iron Gate between Rumania and Servia, the stretch of which, from voyaging in steamers, from tramping along the river-side roads, and from journeying along it by railway, I have a personal knowledge. In applying the word “scenic” to this greater part of the great river, it is not intended to suggest that the upper waters above Kelheim and the lower waters below the Iron Gate have not also much to offer the traveller, but the portion indicated is that which comprises the most famously picturesque parts of the Danube. It includes the beautiful mountainous stretches above and below Passau in Bavaria and Austria, where the river runs at the foot of the southern slopes of the Böhmer Wald; it includes the wonderful Wachau of Lower Austria, and the finely varied extent of the Hungarian Danube, with the grand Kazan defile, where the river forms a natural barrier between Hungary and Servia. Along the greater part of the great extent which lies between the limits named, comfortable passenger steamers run all through the summer season, and in these steamers the traveller may continue through Rumania and Bulgaria down to the Black Sea, and all the colour and glamour of the Orient. In the upper parts of the river, before we can get afloat on it, the Danube is as it were but an incident in the scenery, but, when once we reach the parts navigable by passenger steamers, the scenery becomes the setting or framework for the mighty stream.

dc-tower one  // wien donau-city

donau-city is one of the most interesting new development areas in vienna. the new high-rises dominate the city skyline from many points and also offer something different from the omnipresent k.u.k. architecture.

the architecture of the dc tower 1 looks like an obsidian wedge or a spaceship that has landed on the planet austria.

Buda Castle

Buda Castle is located in Budapest, Hungary. Built in the middle of the 13th century to defend against Mongol invasion. The castle is one of the biggest in the world. The palace complex covers eleven acres and is positioned on top of Varhegy Hill overlooking the Danube River, the Chain Bridge, and the Pest side of the city. The castle was destroyed and added to throughout its long history, but only a fragment of the medieval palace survived the destruction of 1686-1715. It’s surrounded by a Neo-Baroque fence, while the interiors include barrel-vaulted ceilings, a Gothic Hall, a Gothic balcony tower, St Mathias Church, St Stephen Hall, a medieval cellar, and the King’s cellar. Beneath the castle is a labyrinth of caves and tunnels that lead to Sandor Palace. A National Library, the History Museum, and the National Gallery are on the property. Although some structures underwent restorations at the end of WWII, part of the castle remains destroyed, with many elements plundered. In 1987 Buda Castle became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
