Also, a lot of the reasons Yugoslavia failed after Tito was because of ethnic and religious tensions ... primarily Islam vs Christianity

Islam and Christianity are diametrically opposed ideologies and cannot exist with any real presence in the same Nation

The Turks forced the Bosnians and Albanians to be Muslim

Yep

And The Albanians were some of the most brutal people in the Ottoman Empire

?

The Albanians were at the fringe of the Empire, perhaps the newest members ...

I could see the Ottomans treating the Albanians the most harshly to keep their holdings

What do u mean about Albanians being the most brutal?

Many notorious Ottoman generals were Albanian

Haha ... the Suzuku of the Muslims ...

Guess they wanted to become the Knight of One

The Albanian nation was actually created because the world community wanted it to exist after the Balkan wars

They thought Serbia and Greece would take it

Hmm.

Albania existed as part of Italy in 1938

Long before the post Tito Balkan wars

Or as a vassal to Italy

Italy used it as a staging ground for part of their invasion into the rest of Yugoslavia

In 1941

I was friends with an Albanian

We use to make fun of him

Was he Christian or Muslim? I don't think it's an 100% Muslim nation.

It's not

"In the 2011 census the declared religious affiliation of the population was: 56.7% Muslims, 13.79% undeclared, 10.03% Catholics, 6.75% Orthodox believers, 5.49% other, 2.5% atheists, 2.09% Bektashis and 0.14% other Christians."

Bosnia is a similar story: 55% Muslim (Bosnacks) , 20% Orthodox (Serbs), 20% Catholic (Croats), 5% other

The top replies for that poll lol

Albania is way more Islam-dominated than Bosnia.

Due to Orthodox resistance

The Federation of BiH entity of it is literally a Catholic-Muslim alliance.

Wow top comments on that poll talking about 9/11 and USS Liberty

What is the result of refusing to pay your debt to the IMF

and other global debts?

It's bad bc it's enforced seizure by UN troops backed by US / UK soft power

Effective forfeiture of economic: natural resources

The penalties vary

But we could become the good guys on this

All we as USA would have to do is ask World Bank and IMF to wipe away the debt

We could even threaten to withdraw from all UN funding unless this is done

This would be kind of like a peaceful version of exactly what happens at the end of fight club, but on a global scale

It could be the start of a new era of localized economic policies
