Would you live here?

Rastoke village of waterfalls, Croatia.


Like something out of a fairy tale. Beautiful but sits next to a busy highway unfortunately.

Croatia? No.

All of former yugoslavia is still in upheaval. While Croatia itself is, parts are not even in the EU or recognized by the UN as countries.

Russia has huge stakes in the whole area still. Anything could happen.

Actually would rather live in parts of Ukraine. The western areas are relatively safe from Russia.
@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.
@DeWayfarer It is pretty though so there is that.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow tell it to Russia...

They are the one's at fault for this...
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.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the USA has nothing to do with who enters the EU!

If so Brexit would never have happened.
@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 This is kind of long but you could really learn alot about what happened.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow right now explain Finland and Norway joining after the Ukraine war started.

The EU is afraid of Russia!

I think you need to be AFRAID of Russia! Same goes for Moldavia!

That whole area is apart of my heritage!
@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.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Guy that area is apart of my heritage!

My mother was born in Constanta my father was raised in Pardubice.

I know the Russian threat far far better than most.

@DeWayfarer And I am sorry but I cannot take anyone seriously if they claim Russia is a threat to the current situation in what was Yugoslavia.

Bond Steel is the largest US overseas military base.


Kosovo is basically a US base with an Albanian cultural centre.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow so what? The USA has bases in South Korea, Germany all over the world.

Does that prevent South Koreans from rioting? Heck no!
@DeWayfarer You are the one pretending Russia is the global threat. Not me. You just proved my point for me.


It doesn't prevent them from rioting. It does prevent them from being a real sovereign nation.

Ditto for Germany. You cannot be under occupation and claim to be sovereign. They are mutually exclusive.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That PROVES the USA doesn't INTERFERE!

You're a conspiracy cultist is what this proves.
@DeWayfarer That is so nonsensical that makes my head hurt. It proves the complete opposite.


The US recently just got caught again this time fixing elections in Romania.

The US has overthrown more than 50 foreign governments since 1945.

The CIA's very first operation was rigging Italian elections for the right wing.
@DeWayfarer Nothing I said is conspiracies. Your Rocky and Bullwinkle "Boris and Natasha" nonsense is conspiracies backed by nothing.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Russia is an oligarchy!

Not Communist. Same goes for China despite them CLAIMING communism.

Xi makes Trump look like a pauper wealth wise.
@DeWayfarer


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."
@DeWayfarer I am guessing you are also going to ignore that lecture that could really educate you on what happened in Yugoslavia and why.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Guy look uo what type of country Russia CURRENTLY IS.

Russia freely admits to having oligarchs with their wealth being CURRENTLY seized!

@DeWayfarer
I am guessing you are also going to ignore that lecture that could really educate you on what happened in Yugoslavia and why.

Not until you admit Russia is a threat to the whole world!
@DeWayfarer So you refuse to educate yourself and would rather cling to decades old Cold War nonsense. Got it.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow you refuse to even look at current events! That apply currently!
