@DeWayfarer Funny thing is most of the chaos in the former Yugoslavia is the direct result of western intervention or more accurately the US deciding to destroy the country purely for an ideological narrative.
It literally happened because the US could not claim a victory over socialism and "win" the cold war if a socialist country existed in Europe.
The former CIA station chief wrote a book (banned in the US but not Canada) talking about how he had people handing out literal duffel bags of USD to every random far right lunatic in Yugoslavia.
A friend of mine left Croatia for Canada because the west basically installed the Ustaša 2.0. Hell the modern Croatian flag is basically the 1930s fascist flag. Again they were not subtle about it.
Speaking of Ukraine the Euromaidan coup and everything that followed was largely copy/pasted from Yugoslavia.
Croatia is a member of the European Union and has been since July 1, 2013. However, there are territories like Liberland, which is a self-proclaimed micronation located on disputed land between Croatia and Serbia, that are not recognized by the UN or the EU.
@DeWayfarer That has absolutely nothing to do with Russia. They are absolutely not at fault for this. This is about when the US helped these people turn Yugoslavia into a US colony they didn't bother dealing with certain areas.
Do you know anything about this "contested space" It is totally worthless bush in the middle of nowhere that a bunch of Libertarian idiots almost all of them from the US basically decided to go on a camping trip and call it a country.
This has nothing to do with Russia.
Russia's only involvement was preventing the total colonization of all of Yugoslavia by drawing a red line in Serbia 30 years ago. And that was at the airport not in some camping site in the bush.
@DeWayfarer The US controls NATO. Which manufactured the modern glorified city states of the Former Yugoslavia. Quit pretending otherwise. Nobody has been pretending that since Clinton left office.
And the EU is irrelevant to what the US empire wants.
"Fuck the EU" remember?
Brexit has nothing to do with any of this. Great job trying to change the subject from American colonialism though.
@DeWayfarer In fact the agreements that ended the wars were all made by the USA too. Break up the country than dictate the terms of the end of the war you started. Pretty sweet deal.
@DeWayfarer It was Finland and Sweden and they have been unofficial members since the 70s. The manufactured crisis in Ukraine is a great way to get public support to make it official that you will be the latest members of the American Foreign Legion.
The EU is not afraid of Russia. Russia is a convenient excuse to further make the EU the European win of the American Empire.
The EU has been actively working against European interests for years now on behalf of Washington. It even allows itself to be used as a bullshit excuse for NATO expansion.
Americans started the mess in Ukraine but Russia is finishing it.
And dude. You live in a country literally run by the richest man in the world.
Russia was an oligarchy during what the US considers the "glory days" of the violent drunk Boris Yeltsin. All you need to know about the US and Russia is America thinks when Russia was run by a permanently drunk alcoholic who shelled the Russian parliament, bankrupted the country and destroyed the lives of millions was something good and positive and has been trying to force upon them since Yeltsin drank himself to death.
And I see you are going with that No True Scotsman fallacy.
"Doesn't follow a 1930s cliche that I have arbitrarily chosen, so not communism."
