Croats yes. Serbs fuck no

Bosniaks also fuck no

Hope the EU eventually swallows up all of the Balkans and trigger their secret ability: The Death of Empires 😄

@mattforney Oh yeah Bosnians are dominantly Muslim keep forgetting that

Bosnia is a fake country, about 45 percent Bosniak (Croat Muslims with a bogus identity), 35 percent Serb, and the rest Croat

Bosnia is a clusterfuck of a country. 4 separate areas, 3 rotating prime ministers (and presidents IIRC), also 3 separate parliaments. Nothing gets done there lol

it should have been dismantled after the Cold War ended but the U.S. didn't want Serbia, then a Russian ally, gobbling up more land

@mattforney wow that I didn’t know granted having three constitutions is telling on how dumb your government is

@mattforney wow that I didn’t know about Bosnia

Bosnia is so retarded that it has two separate railway administrations. everything in the country is bifurcated between the Republika Srpska (the Serb part) and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Bosniak/Croat part)

@Matthew that I knew again the constitutions are literally only followed by the ethnic group they are said to have

@mattforney I meant to talk to you

partitioning the country would have solved the Muslim problem because the Croats would have forced them to convert to Catholicism, much like how the Russians and Georgians forced the Muslims in Adjara to convert to Orthodoxy

I think Matt said on a stream once that the only time that area wasn’t a basket case was when a strong man was in place (The Ottomans, Austro-Hungary etc). In this case I’d support Italy making them satellite states.

Italy? I would prefer Poland. More in common than Italy

That’s just me though feel free to call me an idiot

the U.S. backed the Bosniaks and Albanians, the only two natively Muslim groups in Europe (excluding the Turks in Bulgaria and Thrace), as a wedge to weaken Russian influence

and because Protestants love allying with Sunni Muslims for some reason

NATO was wrong back then. Kosovo je Serbija

@mattforney yep that’s the sin of ys Prots

*Serbia Strong Plays Faintly*

>Remove kebab intensifies

Kosovo is another fake country. it's just an Albanian colony. it should have been annexed by Albania and would have were it not for the post-WWII taboo on land annexations

@mattforney oh yeah Kosovo is totally a fake country

@mattforney I agree

Serbia and Albania tried to split Kosovo recently but the US blocked it. Too bad

gay

@mattforney very

and of course the U.S. blocked it

multiethnic states are easier to control

monoethnic ones are more of a pain

@mattforney except in Africa. Multiethnic states there are hell

Bosnia's Muslim power elite are eternally loyal to the U.S. because without the U.S. they would get BTFOed by the Serbs (and had been BTFOed before they went crying to NATO)

same with the Albanians in Kosovo

the KLA got their asses kicked in every single battle with the Serbian military, then they went to NATO with their sob stories and the U.S. then bombed Serbia into submission

@mattforney yeah I’ve been researching the Balkans quite fervently at least historically I’m obviously more behind current events but the Kosovo situation I grew up listening to

@Deleted User I meant easier for foreign powers to control

@mattforney gotcha

another fake country is "North" Macedonia

Glad we didn't get balkanized in the 90s, there were some attempts to spark an ethnic war but it fizzled out.

it's half Bulgarian and half Albanian
