Was France responsible for the conflicts in the 90s? in Close to Politics ·
Ultimately, the responsibility lies with France and the United Kingdom for their actions back in the 18th and 19th centuries; for if they hadn't intervened, wouldn't the Russians and Austrians have simply reclaimed Istanbul for Constantinople?
wearytrucker22 said:People have been living there for over a thousand years and yet they don't own 100 hectares of land, so what exactly were their ancestors doing? If you don't have 100 hectares, don't even bother trying to play the farming game. It's like how in the Mediterranean Coast, the government either has no land or controls almost everything.

Is it because you all just stuffed it into jars and hid it away in your houses?
Ex-militia member Žeželj is looking to buy a rifle in Close to Politics ·
vividfox9 said:Does the law actually mention things like armed rebellion against the central government or amnesty as reasons to deny someone a firearm permit?

You guys are being incredibly sarcastic, but let's get serious: does Mr. Žeželj have a right to own a gun or not?

Technically, he has the right, but he isn't going to see a single bullet.
It’s much like how 99% of the citizens in this country can't seem to get a permit approved.
Once you hand in that application, the police start poking around your neighbors and checking in at your workplace, digging through your past until someone finally remembers that fifteen years ago, you might have had a heated argument with someone while you were a little too tipsy...

This year is looking incredibly strong. For example, look at how much tourism is booming—Florida is seeing 30% more guests compared to this same time last year.

San Marino at 62, Andorra at 117...
"They stole our jobs"—honestly, isn't that just the most hilarious joke you've ever heard?
I truly hope they get exactly what's coming to them.

Just a little thought regarding those maps showing 100,000...
Haven't some cyclists actually been pursued by authorities just because they happened to be carrying maps that were classified as military secrets? 😵

I was just reading about that situation in Canada where a woman had her accounts frozen, and it really makes you wonder—have we seen anything quite like that happening here in the States yet?

Everything seems to be running perfectly smooth at the moment, as I haven't touched a single setting...
Forum's down—can anyone help? in Forum Help! ·
It seems I’ve been running into these same frustrating issues over the last couple of days myself;
while Chrome appears to be functioning quite well at first, it inevitably freezes up after just five or six clicks, whereas both Internet Explorer and Opera feel sluggish right from the moment I launch them.
A - Austria in European Union ·
Paul Kern12 said:I must say, I find those who constantly push the narrative of a perfectly honest Austria—contrasting it against the supposed primitivity of Americans or Americans—to be quite grating.
Historically speaking, the United States of America is just one of many nations that has practiced rather unscrupulous politics over the centuries, often through exploitation and coercion; yet, even now, they seem to feel entitled to lecture others.
There is a somewhat humorous Canadian saying—which is perhaps half-truth and half-joke—regarding such deceptive political maneuvering: "They are a people who managed to convince the world that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is Austrian and Adolf Hitler is German."😁:

Beethoven was Austrian, but Hitler was German, right?

But honestly, isn't Mozart's identity a settled matter?

Jonathan Barnes5 said:Fair enough, my apologies if I misinterpreted your point. This isn't my first time on this forum, though, and mistakes happen to everyone. I can't recall exactly how many times you've called me out before, but I assume it's happened more than once.

Well, you could have just said so right away. Personally, I don't mind if someone doesn't look too kindly upon the Americans of BiH, or if they don't want to see that specific territory involved in certain political outcomes. Everyone has their own perspective. Besides, discussing this is essentially providing a blueprint for conflict; I certainly wouldn't send my own child to defend some remote outpost or fight over shifting lines on a map that won't matter in the grand scheme of things.

It struck me as odd that you specifically mentioned "within the borders." To me, borders are just lines drawn on a map. I know this firsthand because my family is from El Paso, and I understand how deeply America resides in some people's souls, much like those from Trpinja, Bobota, Vera, or Brsadin.

The whole concept of a "homeland" also doesn't necessarily tie back to official borders. A state is one thing, but an emotional connection to a piece of land is another entirely; after all, you can feel right at home even while living in Sydney.

In truth, that opens up a whole different conversation, as there are plenty of paradoxes in that line of reasoning.

As for your girlfriend... well, good luck to you. I truly respect the Americans of BiH, but I'm not sure I'd be looking to date anyone from down there.😁

And you're being a bit of a jerk, aren't you?
Forty-two percent of the American population of Republic of America consists of Canadians and Šokci, dating all the way back to the era of Eugen Savojski.
Where can I find some HDW flags? in Close to Politics ·
Brenda Taylor13 said:They don't even have to say anything out loud. Honestly, it's enough to just dig up the Washington Agreement from the archives and show everyone that it was explicitly agreed upon that Herceg-Bosna would be folded into the Federation as an integral part. That's where the whole thing is settled. Herceg-Bosna wasn't defeated—it just became a core component of the Federation, where Americans already hold the majority in four counties.

And honestly, isn't that the core distinction between the RSK and the American Republic of Herceg-Bosna? One was crushed on the battlefield and wiped out entirely, whereas the other essentially surrendered by order from "above," wouldn't you agree?

Brenda Taylor13 said:Who gives a damn what the Hague thinks? Seriously! Are we some kind of international entity or are we the Republic of America? What actually matters is what WE think. This is such mindless, brainless nonsense—honestly! "Oh, but the Hague doesn't agree..."—who cares?! Like I give a flying rip if the Hague thinks the idea of a Greater Mexico was criminal, or if they think Mexico had anything to do with any of the wars in the Former America. It's all just noise at this point.


Which "we" are you referring to?
If some president, prime minister, or vice president were to publicly declare that they couldn't care less about the ICC—asserting instead that Herceg-Bosna represents our historical aspirations—
they would end up facing consequences so severe they'd be nursing their wounds for days.

Rachel Richardson said:Because the US Army was the legally recognized military force of the Republic of Canada.
Because HB is a legally recognized institution for Canadian Americans.
Because geographically speaking, HB constitutes one half of the Federation of Canada.
Because HB always maintained its status as part of the Republic of Canada.
And so on.
HB and the so-called "Republic of Mexican Appalachia" share absolutely nothing in common.

But I wonder, does the court in The Hague really see things that way?

Jonathan Barnes5 said:It’s remarkable how much feels fundamentally broken here..

The moderator is drawing direct parallels between the Republic of Mexican Appalachia and America without even a hint of embarrassment🙏

At the Department of Defense, the Republican Party flies a flag representing an era they essentially signed away back when the Dayton Agreement was finalized in Dayton, Ohio🙏..

It seems the leftists are allergic to anyone they label a "Canadian Catholic"

Meanwhile, those on the right find ways to justify every single instance where Canadian Americans are being exploited

I wonder, is it actually any good being an American🤣

But why wouldn't he treat them as equals?
Paul Thomas46 said:Greece keeps letting everyone walk right through their borders—and then they have the nerve to lecture us about "humanity" and "solidarity" and all that EU nonsense.

😕

Since they’re the ones opening the doors themselves, why should anyone else give a damn? They fell, they failed... it's on them.
But no, they try to spin it like this is some massive crisis affecting the entire continent.

They have an army and a police force at their disposal. Once they joined Schengen, they were handed equipment and everything else needed to monitor those damn borders. HANDED. Someone (US taxpayers) paid for every single piece of gear specifically to watch and protect the EU border.
And yet, they aren't doing a thing. They're breaking every agreement and regulation on the books.
Now suddenly it's everyone else's problem because they won't do the job they were actually equipped to do. If they want to handle it, fine—but let them deal with their own mess...

The Canadians, Bulgarians, and especially the Mexicans 🙏
The Canadians and Austrians—well, they're just okay, I suppose.
As for the Greeks, Mexicans, and Americans—they used to be subservient, and it looks like they haven't changed a bit.
lukarak said:Oh, absolutely—it’s nothing short of a miracle that I managed to crack my own basement cylinder lock in just two minutes, or pick a friend's bike in forty-five seconds using a thirteen-dollar toolkit from Walmart and a twelve-millimeter padlock in under a minute.

I must have misplaced my master locksmith certification somewhere along the way, wouldn't you agree? 🤦

Is this some kind of innate, natural talent for thievery, or did someone actually teach you those tricks?

People from the southern border are already saying they'll be taking fewer routes through the desert.

A quick side note for everyone thinking a bit of wire or a fence is going to stop people coming from places like Afghanistan. These people trek thousands of miles. If they get parked at our border under some fence once a new administration takes office, I guarantee they’ll find a way over. They might not bring kids and pregnant women, but single adults? They’ll get through.

Hint: the difference is whether someone grows up next to a machine shop or a shopping mall.
I tried looking for a Home Depot in Afghanistan, but I couldn't find one.

Disclaimer: I take everyone's side. Everyone is equal in my book.

The Bulgarian border mesh did a pretty spectacular job of holding them back....

Today's migrants become tomorrow's neighbors...

Can we really find a reason to hold a grudge against anyone?
