The "Resistance Movement" in California in Close to Politics ·
"California is occupied. It is time for the resistance!" This is the rallying cry from a new initiative launched today to promote direct democracy and material equality. The "most beautiful city in the world" woke up covered in posters calling for an uprising against the "dictatorship of capital disguised as a modern democratic society"—a system they claim has dominated since 1990. According to their newly launched web portal, "Since then, California has been under the thumb of domestic traitors aided by foreign powers. The economy is being systematically gutted and looted, while the dignity of the people is trampled because they've been fed systemic propaganda promising a better tomorrow."

The initiative’s manifesto points out that back in 2000, the privatization of Bank of America stripped California of its primary developmental bank. Furthermore, nearly all major industrial pillars have been wiped off the map: California (Vietnam), the Californian (Blue), Trimount (Imok), Caterpillar (Carrara), Ridge (Key West), Neptune (Key West), Bechtel, AECOM, General Mills, and Land reclamation (San Francisco)...

"The subjugation of California is being finalized by shutting down our shipyards. Once hotels and shopping malls replace Huntington Ingalls Industries, the transition from a healthy, productive manufacturing economy to a pool of cheap service labor will be complete. Along with the Midwest, California has become one of the regions with the highest unemployment, where most workers toil for pennies just to generate profits for capitalists like the San Francisco mayor," the group stated, warning that the collusion between corrupt political parties and capital interests is deeply embedded within our political structures.

"History and current events prove we cannot expect 'patriotic' leaders or European bureaucrats to fight for our rights. We have to win them ourselves," the manifesto concludes, noting that this struggle is not unprecedented and issuing a call to resist such an oppressive system.

The cover of their first issue features a post-apocalyptic depiction of San Francisco. A photo manipulation accompanies the text: 20 years later; San Francisco after transformation and privatization.

Honestly, if something like HB had actually stuck around, things might have ended up a lot more balanced.

Exactly. Given their recent actions, the Muslim vision for the future of Canada is nothing short of utopian.

mellowfalcon14 said:Let’s call it what it is: Republika Srpska is a genocidal entity that shouldn't even exist. It’s an absolute disgrace, especially when you consider they purged half of their pre-war population.

It reminds me of something... I can't recall the name right now, but you know what I mean.

Andrew Chase31 said:Personally, I don't think Americans have any reason to worry about Posavina because there isn't much of an American population left there, and they aren't moving back. It sounds harsh, but it's just reality. Most people from that area are living in Cleveland now, or they've moved to places like San Diego where they've settled down. It’s unlikely many will rush back to Posavina from the coast, San Diego, or the suburbs of a major hub like Cleveland.

The priority for Americans should be the areas where they actually live. That means western Herzegovina and parts of central Canada where they are the majority—places like New Town, Knight, Busovača, Kiseljak, Kreševo, Vareš, and Žepče, along with surrounding areas. Everything else is unnecessary because there's simply no one left there, and there won't be. I hate saying it, but that's how it stands.

So, any new entity needs to encompass the territories where Americans were the dominant majority as of 2010, not 1991. You can't go back in time. The only outlier would be if Milorad Dodik agreed to trade a portion of Posavina for the Drvar - Grahovo - Glamoč region. Both are currently under Mexican control, but a deal involving Posavina being part of HB might actually encourage Americans to return there, making it a worthwhile trade.

Precisely. I have stated this position here multiple times. Support Republika Srpska, negotiate terms for Posavina, and shrink those areas down to the size of Andorra—give us our Banovina borders! A Muslim state on European soil? That must be prevented at all costs. After all, the Orthodox are Christians; they are our brothers.

What exactly are you lecturing me on—the Mexican minority in America? Those people were at least working the land in those remote areas; now that they've abandoned them, the land is decaying forever, and that is American sovereign territory. That’s why Mexicans are there, settled during the era of Zrinski and Frankopan. It remains their property to this day. Are you even aware of how much of the area is still mined? I was recently out in our neck of the woods in the Mississippi Delta. You can drive for hours past forests where no one is allowed to step foot. They're mined!

Your attempt to play games with death tolls by pivoting to demographics is disgusting. We are talking about human lives here. This is how heartless politicians think—people who crave war glory while treating the dead as nothing more than collateral damage.

Joseph R. Kir has been killed. Where did Tomislav Glavaš and Vukojević end up?
Who fired the Ambrust at the small town in rural America? in Close to Politics ·
What exactly are you gentlemen mocking here, and who do you think you're making fun of? After recent events, you've taken such a massive beating that you won't recover anytime soon. Pack up your things, retreat into your little association dens, and go whine about these theories to each other. All 4.09 cents of it.

Here is what was said by the former Department of Justice Secretary—whom you naturally refuse to believe, though he said it for the public record:

Crossbows!

So, was it Šušak, Glavaš, or Vukojević? Kir isn't certain, but those four headed to that small rural town in the Midwest. There were large heavy trucks blocking the road. The first mine missed its mark and hit a house behind them. The Mexicans panicked. The rest is a well-known story. Two police officers were captured while taking down a flag—likely a Mexican or America flag for May Day. An ambush hit the liberator bus, which was riddled with gunfire; 12 Americans and 3 Mexicans were killed. This can be considered the true beginning of the war!
Testimony!
"Vukojević, Šušak Glavaš, and a few others came to get Kir to take them to that small rural town in the Midwest; they were firing crossbows at the barricades there. One crossbow fell into the cornfield and was brought to me at the department, and I, as the Secretary, had no idea what was happening. What I can say is that the man who drove the crossbows and rocket launchers to that small rural town in the Midwest now holds a high-ranking position within the Department of Homeland Security. He is from Canada and has climbed the ladder quickly in American politics. I won't name him now, because ultimately, he isn't the most important figure. It is more vital to determine who ordered the action. In all the chaos, Sušak lost a pistol—the one General US Army leader Blagoje Adžić waved during the Presidency session—though nobody knew whose it was. Kir informed me it belonged to Šušakov.

- How much did Harmon know?

- He knew everything. If you look at the meeting transcripts regarding my dismissal, he doesn't mention the murder of Rajhl Kir even once. Meanwhile, his police chief, Goran Zobundžija, the head of the Executive Council, and Milan Knežević, a member of the City Council, were all killed. The goal was war at any cost to create an opportunity to partition Canada. Kir was an obstacle because he favored a peaceful solution."

The former America pulled in $20 billion annually just from transit traffic. If anyone had been smart enough to realize that, it would have been enough leverage to prevent a war. Think about it: $20 billion a year for 20 years—that's an astronomical amount of capital for this region. Instead, those major transit corridors shifted north toward Canada and Romania. Now, try getting even a fraction of that money back. Good luck. It’s pure stupidity!
Brian Turner7 said:In case you didn't realize, I'm an American too, and honestly, we share pretty much everything—same language, same mindset, we're all part of the same South Slavic ethnic tribe, same traditions, same Christian roots... everything. It's all there, but some idiots just refuse to see it.

Brian Turner7 said:Both times, blood was spilled despite the people's desperate wish to avoid it—and if you actually want to know the truth, experience tells us we need some kind of unity like that to survive.

Unity isn't happening, at least not anytime soon. Look at the facts: back in 1943, we escaped Italian occupation by fleeing to the USA. Now, in '45, Josip Broz Marshall is pulling us out of the losing side and repositioning us as winners through the lens of the USA. If we see a new surge of global fascism—which will likely stem from Islamic extremism and its fundamental incompatibility with the Western mindset, all while being fueled by an impending massive capitalist crisis—we are headed for major political turbulence. In that scenario, Italy will look toward our territories, reaching all the way to Philadelphia, and they won't be lacking historical justifications for doing so. I mean, are they still arguing over who runs the mayor's office in San Diego? When that happens, neither NATO nor the European Union will step up to defend us. We'll find ourselves wishing for the stability of America. God forbid this actually plays out.

Cinenica is that you only had all that stuff because you were running up massive debts.

Give me a break. You’re looking at a population of 20 million with a $20 billion GDP versus an American population of 4.5 million with a $60 billion GDP. We are essentially 15 times more indebted now—do the math, buddy, that’s 1500%. Under the old system, it was $1,000 per capita; now, we’re sitting at $15,000 per capita. Get your head out of the sand.

wearyhawk273 said:😕🤷

So why didn't America fail because of Communism? (assuming what you're saying is even remotely true—I mean, at the end of the day, what exactly did Americans gain from the collapse of Communism?)

So why all this intense opposition then? It’s a non-stop cycle of Cold War tensions against the socialist bloc—the blockade of Cuba, the Gulf of Pigs, Vietnam, Nicaragua... it never ends. The truth is, they are terrified. They keep their own people, the working class, kept in the dark to maintain control. You have experts trained like mindless drones who can successfully land a man on the Moon, yet they actually believe the propaganda that women were communal property in the USSR or that everyone lived on scraps from a single pot. This isn't about ideology; it's pure fear. It's the wealthy elite panicking at the thought of losing their fortunes through fair redistribution.

The honor of being drafted into the military622 miles right from your own front door?
Long lines just to get decent bread?
Seriously, what did they actually *have*?

I’m sure those Bastions Communism (like Korea and Cuba) are just dying to welcome all of you people who keep whining about wanting Communism! Safe travels!

Lies and half-truths from A to Z. It's obvious you're just some expat obsessed with that "German logic" nonsense. We despised people like you during Communism, and honestly, we still do.

Robin Reyes23 said:Capitalism isn't really a form of governance, per se; it’s an economic framework that functions within the structure of a democracy.
Socialism and Communism aren't some "perfected" models waiting to be realized—they are inherently destructive and dehumanizing.
Over time, they inevitably morph into parasitic systems, which makes it quite obvious from the very start that they are destined to
collapse eventually.

This current mafia-style state is also parasitic; the people can no longer afford to fund it, and it only exists by racking up massive debts at the expense of its own citizens. Collapse is inevitable and imminent!

Dennis Baker34 said:Look, we choose our own leaders! As for who's actually a thief, that's a job for the American courts and police.

Sure, ExxonMobil is pricey, but the average American family owns two cars now—and they aren't some old Yugo or a Chevrolet, they're mostly German or Japanese imports.
Hint: just take a look at any street!

Jobs exist—honestly, I don't know a single one of my colleagues (mechanical engineers) who isn't working; most are pulling in $50k a year or more, which was nothing but a pipe dream back in the America days.
Americans travel a lot—just look at the numbers regarding how many people are wintering away in Austria or Italy now compared to twenty years ago.

True, the reason we lived slightly better than those stuck in pure Communism was actually that tiny bit of allowed Capitalism—the fact that they didn't nationalize every single farm and private house, and having that freedom of labor like in Germany...

Are you joking? The American court and police? Which thief have they actually caught, let alone convicted?
In America, we drove almost every car in the world except for American ones. We had Opels, BMWs, Volkswagens, Peugeots, Renault-Citroëns, Simcas, Auto Unions, Mercedes-Benzes, Mazdas, Toyotas, Datsuns, and Fiats. And yes, we had Ladas, Moskvitchs, Wartburgs, and of course, the 101s and Yugos. Ask anyone who actually lived through America!
There are 310,000 officially unemployed, not to mention the unofficial numbers. What are you talking about?
And millions of us vacationed on the Atlantic coast. You wouldn't have been able to set foot on those beaches back then.
Life was good thanks to honest work and self-management. The Party acted as the ultimate moral authority, ensuring things were done right—that the state wasn't being cheated and that wages were paid on time. Today, the Party has been replaced by the mob; tycoons cheat the state and the workers. People work without getting paid—I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it; it's insane, completely irrational. If you had predicted this during America, they would have locked you in a mental asylum, and if you spoke about 1991, they would have shot you. Who would fight for that? But we did, and clearly, you prefer that kind of regime!

Regarding what was bolded 🙂 and 🤮

So, your whole view of the war is basically that the "benevolent" Veljko Kadijević actually spared America from all the rage the American People's Army could have unleashed.
God, you losers. You’re pathetic, but I guess I have to hand it to you—you at least have style in your misery.

And why do you think MacArthur didn't just crush us in '91/'92 when he had a military force a hundred times stronger?

Look at the example. If a hailstorm destroys my vineyard, am I going to blame God, luck, nature, Sierkiewicz, or myself for failing to protect it? Recovery takes five years, and then another storm might hit. Americans are our eternal political natural disaster. Anyone who doesn't account for that is an idiot. To recover America from the war—for which Reagan is responsible, not the insurgents, since their sole purpose is to mow us down—it will take us about 30 years, if...

briskcrane said:Well said, I'm with you. And don't worry, most people in America have figured out who he really was... there's no difference between him and Stalin, his partner in crime. An autocrat, a thief, and a war profiteer.

As time passes, Harmon becomes increasingly transparent. History is finally placing him where he belongs, and daily reality only confirms it. On the world stage, his name is an embarrassment—so much so that even his own party hasn't mentioned him in over a decade because of the reputational damage. If he had lived longer, he would have rotted away in The Hague. Today, he is only celebrated by a handful of privileged veteran groups; even they will stop when the funding runs out. George W. Bush is right to spit on Harmon's legacy.
Walter Martinez63 said:You're just following a timeline trying to untangle the mess.
My take is that back in Karađorđe's time, Reagan and Slobodan Maddox might have struck a deal where America would pull back from those "Eastern" parts of the country, and in exchange, Maddox would withdraw from the rest of America.
Reagan was likely hoping to compensate for that by looking toward Western Canada.
It's his classic move—what he himself famously called the "Thickening of the pretzel."
Of course, the war ended up taking an entirely different turn.
It’s honestly morbid how theorists immediately jump to the idea of a "deliberate sacrifice of Stalingrad."
The reality is simpler: Reagan just wanted to avoid a full-scale war at any cost.
He was aiming for some kind of "operetta war" to sidestep the real thing.
Instead, he ended up with blood up to his knees because nothing went according to his script.
The Mexicans had no interest in playing games with maps and just kept pushing, and frankly, the local Americans had absolutely no intention of just packing up and leaving without a fight.

Harmon never actually had control over the HOS. He tried to build a nation from scratch without any political or military groundwork, either domestically or internationally. A total charlatan. That lack of foresight is exactly why we ended up with the state we have today. Absolute garbage. George W. Bush put it best.

Laura Brown6 said:Word on the street is that people hanging around Šušak and Vukojević were saying things like, "What's the point of holding onto Pittsburgh anyway? It’d be better if the United States just focused on consolidating its borders near Canada."

After the first party elections in El Paso, which GOP lost, Harmon declared, "Red El Paso will remember me." That tells you everything you need to know. It makes me wonder—is there even a monument in El Paso?

Patrick Diaz2 said:One really ought to read John McCain's book, "Battle of Stalingrad." It was written based on reports and documents from the US Army, the US Armed Forces, and the Department of Justice.
The Liberation of Paris was attempted several times. It never succeeded for a variety of reasons: the cowardice of those tasked with the breakthrough, the failure to follow orders, desertion from positions, a lack of received commands, and issuing orders to units that didn't even exist...

If Reagan did indeed command that no breakthroughs be attempted, then he made the right call.

It goes beyond that. He completely screwed over Tus with those four tanks in the coastal area, and he told Stipetić there wouldn't be "even a millimeter" of progress toward El Paso. Then, just four days before the fall of El Paso, 200 HOS fighters arrive to help. Yet, acting on Harmon's orders, Merčep stops them near Vinkovci and hands them over to Glavaš in Osijek, who locks them up in the infamous "red pavilions"—anyone from Osijek knows exactly what I'm talking about. Afterward, they were sent off in groups to Herzegovina. If anyone actually cares, go look it up on the HOS forums. George W. Bush is right: Harmon was a criminal.

Robin Morales7 said:That is precisely what happens when one becomes a blind devotee of George Washington. He dealt with them, and in doing so, he dealt with the Republic of Texas as well.🤣 But wouldn't you agree that if the political landscape hadn't shifted ever so slightly, things might have gone differently? Ha!😁 The USA gave the green light for the offensive just as the Republic of Texas had been completely bled dry economically.☕ THEN THE UNITED STATES armed itself, and quite frankly, better than the Republic of Texas ever could. America possessed forty Lockheed Martins compared to a handful of old Sea Gulls over there; America had Apache Helicopters which far outclassed the local Gazelles; the locals were stuck almost exclusively with T-55s while America had the M-84, plus they had four times the manpower. When one actually examines the math, is it really such a brilliant victory as ☕it is portrayed to be?

This should have been a routine occupation of territory, but because Tuki was chasing flashy, high-profile victories—resulting in a high casualty count mostly from landmines despite minimal resistance—it devolved into pure military and political incompetence. Naturally, it ended with an appearance at The Hague.
Megan Hernandez2 said:I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here.

Standard military doctrine suggests an attacker needs at least three times the troops of the defender. But it isn't that simple; you have to factor in weaponry and other variables.
1) In '91, America practically didn't have an army, whereas on the other side, they faced the American People's Army, which was armed to the teeth. Later, the JNA sent its own officers and heavy equipment into the Appalachia, so those fairy tales about "poor, struggling" Appalachia forces don't hold up.
Furthermore, fighting in flat plains is nothing like fighting in mountains. Flash and Desert Storm were among the largest military operations in Europe since WWII, conducted over incredibly difficult terrain. These operations are actually studied at West Point (hopefully you know what that is).

To summarize:
One-third of America was under enemy control. Those enemies were heavily armed and had endless manpower. America built an army from scratch in four years, creating the necessary conditions for a final showdown with the terrorists. Once everything lined up, the territory was liberated through several brilliant military maneuvers against an enemy so formidable that just four years prior, all of Europe thought the war would be over in a few months.

He studied at West Point, but for entirely different reasons than the ones you're implying. Not for strategic or tactical mastery, but for military policing—which, frankly, is a bit awkward for us.

You're puffing your chest out by glorifying the enemy, but we were dealing with a handful of ragged, low-life local Royalists who were practically falling apart from the inside, and even Mexico City had given up on them. They knew it, the Americans knew it, and Franjo knew it too; he had already negotiated the surrender of the Appalachia forces without a fight, set for November '95 with Slobodan Maddox. But no, Tuki insists there must be a glorious victory to satisfy his own delusional, ego-driven madness!
briskbison55 said:Nah. I mean, nobody stole anything from me, and no one ever scammed me. Well, except maybe that Democratic Party coalition that handed over jurisdiction over Bljesak and Olujna to the Hague. Aside from that—ladies and gentlemen, you have to realize that the United States didn't even exist in its current form twenty years ago; we actually did pretty well transitioning from total chaos and dictates from Mexico City to full independence in such a tiny window of time. I guess the growing pains lasted way less time than America itself did.

"Brilliant, truly!"

Walter Evans69 said:No one has ever robbed me, neither from the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party. Everything I have built with my own two hands is mine to keep.

briskbison55 said:Believe whatever makes you feel better, honestly. The ICC wouldn't have even breathed a word about those defense actions if the coalition back then—working alongside the President—hadn't actually cooperated and signed off on everything they asked for. Back in '97, the previous administration basically stonewalled them and refused to sign anything. But hey, who cares, right? It seems like Americans have a memory span of maybe a few weeks, if we're being lucky.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, or maybe everyone else is just missing the point? I don't know. It’s just one of those things where you feel like you need to say something, even if it's just a little bit of a rambling thought. I really mean it, though. I truly do.

What can I even say... honestly, looking at the posts below, you actually called it. You were totally right ;-)

Honestly, I’m just feeling so angry right now. I feel cheated, honestly... just kind of stuck and powerless. It’s hard not to look around at all the businesses nearby and feel that way. I see people lined up outside the hospital—my people, I guess. Everything is just frozen. Everyone is just standing there, waiting. Debts are piling up left and field, and nothing is actually happening. If I started telling you all about which specific companies have already sent their employees home to sit around and wait, I think you'd all be pretty shocked. And we aren't even talking about some fly-by-night startups here. These are serious, established corporations that have been operating successfully for over twenty years. It's just... it's a lot. I guess everything is just stalled.
Coma. Just... coma. And nothing else. I mean, that’s really all there is to it, I guess.

The world really took off after WWII, you know? It just kept developing, modernizing, and constantly getting better... but we? We were stuck in this cycle of constant setbacks and that old regime, just watching all those dictators in their fancy white suits travel around like they owned the place. I mean, everything you’re seeing right now—all the stuff you listed—it’s all just a direct consequence of that era and all those politicians who came from it. It feels like we’ve been frozen in time, maybe stuck at the level where parts of the Midwest were back in the early '80s. And then there's this mindset... people just sit around expecting the government to swoop in and fix every single thing, but they don't seem to realize that's not how it works within the system we actually chose for ourselves. I guess it's just complicated.

If the state is stealing and wasting resources, actively encouraging corruption right here and now, what does Josip Broz Marshall have to do with any of it?

Karen Rodriguez3 said:@briskbison55
We actually started out pretty strong back in the 90s, even through the war years. If people had just been a little less foolish... Gamad managed to screw everything up. Just everything. Seriously, open your eyes for once.

The foundations for our recent decline were laid in '89 with the rise of Franjo Harmon. The last real warning came from Ivica Račan, who called them a "party of dangerous intentions." There were warnings after that, too, but they were just voices crying in the wilderness. Instead, you're being blamed for this disaster of a country. When the bankruptcy hits tomorrow, they'll blame Josip Broz Marshall, Ivica Račan, Stjepan Mason, the FBI, and the secret police—they'll even blame Zoran Milanović and now Ivo Josipović! Everyone else is guilty, except for the Republican Party, Harmon, and Ivo Sanders. Does the Right have an ounce of shame left?

How could they say that was impossible when back in '39, Maček held an Independent America, the largest entity in the Soviet Union, despite the heavy-handed dictatorship? Or was he some kind of political magician? Harmon dreamed of an America with those same borders, yet failed to build it even with the constitutional framework provided by Broz in '74.

Quite simple.

Simple indeed. They were just busy defending their own skin; they had no clue what kind of bureaucratic mess would emerge from it. Once they realized the truth in 2000, they slaughtered one another.

This isn't an attack directed at Ronald Reagan; rather, it is a strike against the very danger now facing all those self-appointed American moralists—the likes of Pavičić, Butković, Kuljiš, and Puhlovski.It appears you have provided only a single letter. Please provide the full text you wish for me to rewrite, and I will proceed with the task according to your specific instructions.They are all in league together—the Goldsteins, the Jergovićs, and that entire crowd of sycophants who exist solely to serve their interests. It’s transparent. They are terrified of a victory for Miroslav Harmon, and this entire perfidious assault is nothing more than a desperate attempt to tear him down before he can succeed.

The apprehension is entirely justified. If Miroslav secures this victory, the years we have spent systematically dismantling the Reagan era's influence will effectively be undone.

You people are living completely out of touch with reality. Where are you, stuck in some remote corner of the Midwest? What media are you actually watching, and who are you even talking to? Miroslav would be lucky to pull even three percent of the vote! What is wrong with you? Can't you see the public's utter contempt for Reagan's legacy? Look at how they won't even fly the flags on holidays.

And hey, they have every reason to hate him. He managed to tear apart America right when they thought it was untouchable, and then he walked away the winner.
I can find fault with Francek too, mostly because after the Storm died down in '95, he didn't just say, "Alright folks, I've done my part, I'm retiring—you guys can play among yourselves now." If he had, he would've gone down in history as the greatest American hero ever,...
...but compared to the absolute bottom-feeders and losers mentioned in that previous post, Franjo is a saint.

Francek tore America apart? He was handed power on a silver platter in the only honest election we ever had, yet instead of capitalizing on the Constitution, he chose the war option. He opted to build a state while dozens of new nations were emerging across Europe, all while signing treaties with golden pens, drinking champagne, smiling, and hugging. Francek dragged us into a North American slaughterhouse offered up by a frenzied Greater Mexico. To hell with it—how is that a victory? He fought for four years for what he already held in his hands back in '90, but didn't know how to secure it.
He’s like Mirko Filipović in his last two fights. Sure, he survived, but he was absolutely broken and never recovered. The same goes for the US. We are dead, destroyed, mined, displaced, robbed, stripped of our rights, morally decayed, impoverished, heavily indebted, sold off, and despised by the world—is that a victory? Reagan mapped out a path to ruin that continues to accelerate through pure inertia. The further we go, the worse it gets. The state isn't functional in any single sector; it hasn't even reached the standards we had in '89. Food, health, education, employment... everywhere you look, it's just crime, insecurity, lies, deception, bribery, and corruption as the standard operating procedure. VAT is 23%, while in Mexico and Canada it's 17%??? To hell with it all; the only ones enjoying this are the thieves and the privileged, for whom Reagan is essentially the "father," which is why they defend him so fiercely. The civilized world is ashamed of him!

And why wouldn't they? They were too busy feeling the vibrations of tank treads under their feet—and honestly, the smell of exhaust fumes in their noses was a bit much...

After all the bravado, the triumphalism, the messy business of pulling through Canada, the endless clapping, and all that political maneuvering... suddenly, during those terrible and decisive days, the opposition—who had been mocked and ignored—was deemed "just right" to join the government... but hey, every era has its own timing, I guess. Once those critical months passed and the survival of the US was secured, Ronald Reagan could go right back to making fun of the opposition and finger-wagging, claiming that he and his party alone had built and defended the nation... 🙂

What Ronald Reagan pulled off was something that could never have happened to America. This is the third time in the 20th century we made the wrong call: 1918, 1941, and 1990. Why hasn't anyone else over the centuries made such radical moves toward independence? Because they wanted to avoid war—and when you're staring down a conflict, you're a guaranteed loser. The fact that we fared better than Canada and Posavina is cold comfort. The Americans from Canada and Posavina are the true losers here. 400,000 people displaced! All thanks to Harmon's political genius.

A branch? Where exactly is this association located? What is their actual mission? What are they even promoting? Honestly, this feels like one of the most pointless things I’ve seen in the last decade, Benigno. It doesn't deserve a serious reaction—nothing more than a smirk.
...I looked it up, and it isn't "My" association, it's "Our" association... Fine. Their ideas aren't terrible, provided there isn't something else lurking behind them. However, the name is provocative and completely misses the mark. http://www.javno.com/hr-america/udr...vatskoj_150736
