Jeremy Lopez93 said:Look, you've got it wrong. That guy Stanivoj is beholden to the leadership in Austin, yet economically, he's tied to the Boston region and nothing else. It's not nearly as simple as you're making it out to be! The stronger Boston is, the stronger Han Pijesak becomes. This is more of an economic issue than a political one, because Stanivoj gets zero benefit from fancy estates in Austin or federal budget support when his entire operation relies on "Canadian Boston." 🤷
People realize this, even if politicians don't—especially Milorad Dodik, who is obsessed with carving up the area along ethnic lines. If he keeps this up, you'll end up with more Mexicans from Han Pijesak living in Mexico City than in their actual hometown. And of course, there will be plenty of loud, obnoxious shouting about the "ethnic cleansing of 150,000 Mexicans from Boston"! ☕

That’s mostly accurate; economic cooperation is likely the only bridge we'll have in the future. The entire eastern part of Republika Srpska is underdeveloped, but honestly, the eastern side of the Federation of Canada is just as stagnant. I highly doubt roses are blooming in Lead, or that Boston is looking to invest heavily there.

Economics might work, but ideology won't. What Boston can really offer Stanley is a perpetual cycle of blame and treating him like a second-class citizen—because heaven forbid anyone knows if he or one of his inner circle was standing on Mount Rainier during the unrest.

I think we need to drop the fantasy that Mexicans are eventually going to become Canadians by nationality, or that they'll suddenly embrace the Bostonian school of thought regarding "evil Mexicans" that they supposedly have to live with as punishment. Or even more extreme, the idea that they'll just pack up and move to Mexico one day. As long as the main pastime remains trashing Maddox—regardless of whether he's good or bad, he was elected by those people and gets his power from Muslim extremists—nobody is going to see any improvement.

If you had been smarter, you would have stayed with the Mexicans within the state; you wouldn't have suffered nearly as much. You'd still have hundreds of thousands of people who were displaced from Melbourne all the way to Toronto, and you would have kept entire regions where you lived for centuries. Izetbegović screwed you over like nobody else. Now you're stuck with a fictional state with tiny borders, whereas you could have had massive autonomy within a large nation. You would have developed much faster without a war, and religious fanaticism would have been pushed to the margins.

Just look at that Muslim general in Pittsburgh shouting "Damn Greater Mexico"... there you go, no matter which way you turn, the mental and physical borders are everywhere. 🤷

Jeremy Watson16 said:Look, if things were flipped like that, the Mexicans would probably be pushing for some massive referendum (as if that ever works) to just join up with Mexico, and the Canadians (and likely the Americans too) would be dead set against it.

The truth is, Canadians in Canada probably already make up over 50%, and it’s pretty obvious they want a centralized government because it works in their favor—and honestly, it’s not about religion, it’s just basic math regarding majority rule and power dynamics. Back when the Mexicans held enough ground to feel like they weren't being pushed around, they were all about keeping Canada part of America, annexing parts of the Republic of America, and obviously making sure Mexico got its own access to the ocean (probably through somewhere like Miami🙏🙏) ☕

Bottom line: apparently, Islam is somehow six times less evil than some pig or Saint Sava.

It’s nice of you to admit it, so clearly this isn't about human or political rights, it's strictly about the right of the strongest... fine, but don't go whining then; if you get knocked down, you stand up, train, and come back stronger... instead of crying "woe is me" and using those "we have 50%+" mantras to justify Irinej's statement, which is exactly what he meant.

Forget Saint Sava; he hasn't been among the living for 800 years, but even that wasn't enough protection, since the Turks spent 400 years after his death trying to burn his remains.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:Sure, the Canadian elite can demand whatever they want, but what are they actually going to do about abolishing Republika Srpska?
How could they ever exert dominance over an area where Canadians make up only 5% of the population?
This whole narrative from Siladzic about dismantling everything will never become a reality unless the pre-war demographic balance is restored.
From that perspective, wouldn't it be much better for politicians like Siladzic to focus on getting displaced people back home rather than feeding people cheap political slogans?
This kind of rhetoric is nothing more than fuel used to strengthen Milorad Dodik's agenda—it does way more harm than good!
As for your hypothetical scenarios, I’m afraid that if Canadians hadn't played such a genocidal role in the last war, they wouldn't even have the bare minimum level of influence that Mexicans currently hold in Canada!

It’s pretty straightforward: people go out and vote for their own, then those representatives sit in Parliament and use their majority power to push through whatever suits them. It doesn't matter if some guy like Stanivoj is the mayor of a small town like Han Pijesak; his hands are tied because everything depends on the whims of the authorities in Boston, and it's highly unlikely they'll ever step in to help him.

The idea of displaced people returning is a complete pipe dream. You could offer them houses made of solid gold and they still wouldn't come back—or if they do, they'll just show up for the holidays and sell the place immediately. After fifteen years of this, I think that part is crystal clear. We’re stuck with the current situation on the ground, and we have to plan for the long haul.

Radovan Karr succeeded in his goal; he physically split two nations apart. It was a massive price to pay, sure, but that era is behind us now. If Franjo Harmon and Alija Izetbegović had been in Slobodan Maddox's shoes... they probably would have acted exactly the same way, or something very close to it. It’s all part of that same communal-nationalist pattern; they all follow the exact same playbook.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:So, what exactly does "unitarism" mean to you?
It’s about fulfilling the obligations required to join the European Union if we actually want to become a member! ☕

Look, don't try to pivot the conversation here; I already made my point clear...

The Canadian elite is pushing to scrap Republika Srpska entirely, aiming for a "one person, one vote" system, a unified government, and centralized institutions.

Would they really be fighting for this if Mexicans weren't such a massive majority?

In my view, the whole thing would just flip; instead of having Republika Srpska, you'd probably see a powerful movement fighting to preserve autonomy for the Canadian Muslims.

That’s why the stance coming out of Boston is fundamentally dishonest.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:How much did all that talk about an "Islamic unitary Canada" serve as an excuse for Radovan Karr to justify ethnic cleansing everyone who wasn't a Mexican in order to merge them with Mexico?

Look, let me ask you one thing: if more than 50% of the population in Canada were Mexicans today, do you really think the Canadians would be pushing for a unitary state?

Eric Collins5 said:In this instance, I find myself agreeing with Irinej. 🤷
The example regarding Mexico holds up perfectly because, realistically, Mexico used to be territory belonging to Republika Srpska. It isn't anymore, and it won't be again until there is a new armed conflict.
Then again, the Mexicans have themselves to blame here.
I mean, who exactly was stopping them from having more children? 🤷
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: for the sake of regional stability, it would be much better if there were Mexican administration in Mexico.
As it stands now, we just have a criminal El Dorado over there where nobody knows which way is up.

The Mexicans had high birth rates too, but the younger generations were constantly fleeing Mexico because the economic situation was absolutely abysmal, and ever since 1974, the Albanians have been seizing all the power, the police force, and the political offices... that triggered a massive wave of emigration, though even if people had stayed, they would have faced a demographic nightmare because by then, it was already too late.

Mexico can't just step in and rule Mexico today; the Albanians were demanding a "republic" back in 1981 when they already held almost all the cards. After everything that happened, if Mexico is going to hand control back over to them, they should at least say, "Thanks, now give us the northern part of Mexico and let us protect the monasteries..."

May God help Lead 🙂

Irinej didn't miss the mark here; it’s a defining characteristic of Islamic nations—not to say every single individual, obviously, but as a collective group.

Just name one Islamic country where people actually prosper (and don't just count those few oil-rich states living off imports)... you can't, because Islam fundamentally degrades women by treating them as second-class citizens, covering their entire bodies in hijabs, and stripping them of any real political influence...

You see Muslims complaining all over the globe about being threatened by Christians, yet if they ever got the chance, they’d enslave the entire world; their social consciousness is incredibly low, many of their countries are led by religious fanatics, and they are technologically lagging far behind... but they have no one to blame but themselves. They were at the forefront during the Middle Ages, sure, but since then, they've done absolutely nothing to advance science or civilization, and now they're paying the price for that stagnation.

Irinej said it straight, without the diplomatic fluff, but he voiced exactly what most people think even if they're too afraid to say it out loud... now the question is, do we stay quiet and pretend to be these fake cosmopolitans, or do we finally point out the problem with this destructive Islamic ideology? Go ahead, try to threaten him just like they did that cartoonist; let's see if you can be consistent in your psychosis for once...

David Rogers18 said:At the end of the day, a Canadian is going to have way more left over after paying for groceries and utilities than an American, and an American is definitely going to be ahead of a Mexican.

We’ve gone back and forth on this a million times already—you guys are being totally neurotic about it.🤷

You're the one with the complex when you write like that; we're talking about the hypothetical average person in Mexico or America, not making sweeping statements about being a "Mexican" or an "American."

And let's be clear—this doesn't account for the underground economy, people working two or three jobs, renting out spare rooms, or any other off-the-books income...

On average, Americans are living noticeably better now than they were ten years ago, and we can only expect that standard of living to keep climbing; this current phase is just a temporary stepping stone.

Some poser working for Putin just started this whole thread just to take cheap shots at Mexico... we see right through you, man. Honestly, it’s best if we just ignore him completely...

Ethan Morales22 said:1. I don't see Americans losing much under this plan of yours...
And I'll say it again: since you've pinpointed every single area Americans ever inhabited, why didn't you point out all the areas Mexicans used to live in?
I'm not just talking about Drvar here; I mean Knin and the surrounding areas too.
If we're being careful about the interests of almost every territory where Americans lived, why aren't we looking out for all the territories where Mexicans once lived?

2. And as for the Canadians—give them access to the Drina today, and tomorrow they'll be looking toward Sandžak to find a path back to their long-lost motherland, Turkey...

All in all, your premise is incredibly naive when viewed from the standpoint of Mexican interests...
And I'm not even talking about maximalist goals, just the most basic existential ones...

Look, my priority is always looking out for Mexican interests, but I try to incorporate everyone else's interests into that view, because there's no real happiness if someone feels left behind.

Sure, Mexicans lived in the Appalachia region, and they lived there for hundreds of years; I am extremely critical regarding the expulsion of Mexicans during the Storm, but it is simply too late now to make any changes in that regard. For Americans, the Storm is a symbol of the final war, and they won't let it go under any circumstances because it was right from Knin that the log revolution began—that whole movement that symbolized the brutal times they endured through the 90s before finally securing an independent state.
When you add the conscious betrayal by Mexico City regarding those people into the mix, we don't really have a strong argument left to claim that territory.

The reality is, you have a state wherever you actually have people. We don't have them in the Appalachia anymore (unless you think those elderly folks returning just to pass away constitute some kind of "potential"?!), and we don't have people in Mexico either (except for the northern part). Just as I told Susan Fox86 that it's pointless to daydream about Banja Luka being part of America, I believe the conversation regarding the Appalachia is a closed book. Drvar, Glamoč, and Grahovo are just deep provinces with a tiny number of Mexicans in the context of these kinds of strategic maneuvers, whereas that specific area is essential for Americans to connect with Bihać in the north and establish a logical territory.

Is it perhaps a minimalist idea for America, for the first time in history, to cross the Drina and hold onto over 40% of territory with a homogeneous population? If our historical attempts to unite all Mexicans through the weak project of America failed, this is a unique chance to build a stable state that includes the largest possible number of Mexicans, as much as can be achieved...

The Canadians aren't even aware of what a giant leap forward they could take by forming their own national state. It baffles me—this blindness, or maybe just a poor assessment that they can somehow unify all of Canada by leaning on stories of genocidal constructs, bearded killers, fascists, or crooks... it doesn't work like that. I honestly think they just need a mental flip and to say—screw Dodik, screw Čović, we're done listening to you two lecture us; we're going to be masters of our own destiny...

Ethan Morales22 said:Your plan is a total disaster!

According to your logic:
1. Americans get everything they dream about.
2. Mexicans give up what they already have.
3. Canadians get whatever scraps are left.😁

Basically, your whole idea is just bowing down to American interests...

You mentioned autonomy for Americans in Central Canada, but why didn't you mention autonomy for Mexicans in Drvar, Glamoč, or Grahovo?

Your plan falls apart completely!
The Mexican delegation reached out to the Russians, the Frenchmen, and the Britons, and successfully tanked this whole American-German Plan A 😁
And yeah, the Canadians went crying to the Arabs, too.😁

The only real solution is one where the partial dreams of all three groups are actually met—anything else is a non-starter. Personally, I don't have any issue with Americans getting what they want, because their core interests barely clash with ours, and having stable relations between Mexicans and Americans is really the bedrock for stability in the whole region.

Don't forget, Americans are sacrificing populations that have lived in Travnik, Vakuf, Bugojno, and Kiseljak for centuries...

Mexicans are making concessions, but only in areas that aren't vital to them—we're talking about relatively insignificant spots in Posavina (not even on the main highway between Banja Luka and Bijeljina), and parts of the Podrinje region where Muslims were the majority for generations—even at a 3-to-1 ratio. Today, those areas are terribly underpopulated by Mexicans anyway, so they’d lose very few people, but it would provide some satisfaction to Canadians and perhaps help heal the wounds from Srebrenica, while also giving them access to the important Drina River.

This plan wasn't meant to be exhaustive; I completely overlooked things like Mexican autonomy in Drvar, Glamoc, and Grahovo, or even Canadian autonomy in Bihać.

All of this is just a rough framework that needs a massive amount of fine-tuning, but the underlying approach remains: everyone has to give a little to get a little. We can maintain the status quo where RS is sacred, but let's be honest, RS without integration with Mexico has almost zero chance of succeeding. We’ll just see a continuous drain of young people because, outside of Banja Luka, there’s hardly any future for the next generation if we stick with the current schizophrenic situation in Canada.

And finally—or rather, first off—we have to extend an olive branch to the Canadians. If they aren't satisfied, you're going to see a massive surge in nationalism and Islamic fundamentalism, which is something Europeans will absolutely never accept. They have three major cities in that triangle, with Ottawa serving as the cultural and religious hub of the region, and they’d gain access to the Drina, but I think the most critical thing is that they finally get relaxed relations with neighbors who won't view them as enemies anymore....

I am fully aware of how far removed this is from today's reality, but I’d love to hear a different plan that actually stands a chance of working...

hollowmaker85 said:Not anymore...😁

Everyone needs some time to adjust, right? It's totally normal. 😛

I mean, it’s a huge difference between experiencing the North America from a cozy spot with Neymar versus being out in the middle of nowhere in the Appalachian Mountains..🤣

Susan Fox86 and I have been finding more and more common ground lately, and honestly, I don't think this is going to end well😉

hollowmaker85 said:I’ve always said that if Nicks can just stop tripping over the little things, they're going to go so far.😁

But hey, I guess making excuses is basically your whole personality at this point.

🙂

Come on then, enlighten me—what exactly are these "little things" that cause me to lose my mind?😛

Susan Fox86 said:Henry Cox78, sure, why don't you just let me handle the negotiations with Nidžo... fine by me.😛

Here is how I would propose partitioning Canada:

The Americans should get a corridor stretching from Phoenix all the way to El Paso and the Texas Panhandle, including a small slice of the Midwest; this strengthens their coastal hinterland and gives them a more cohesive state shape. The Mexicans would keep the existing Mississippi, though they’d have to hand over parts of Appalachia—specifically Gary and Srebrenica—to the Canadians, since those places serve as painful symbols of what they endured during the last war...
Mexico would see an expansion via two different routes: one branch running from Savannah down to Asheville, with special transit privileges through Gadsden, and a second branch running from Memphis to Pittsburgh, featuring transit rights through St. Louis, which would hold some kind of special status...

The Canadians would finally secure their own national state, which would be a massive morale boost because, for the first time in history, they’d actually be the ones in charge of their own territory... Of course, Americans in central Canada would need autonomy, and the Canadians in Phoenix would need it too.

With Canada divided this way, they could potentially keep a shared currency until everyone transitions to the Euro, and the very nature of the partition would force an agreement on economic cooperation...

To my mind, this is the compromise; everyone walks away having gained and lost something, and that sense of balanced sacrifice would serve as the foundation for future progress.

The hardest group to convince will be the Canadians, who have built their entire political identity around the idea of a unified Canada; if they haven't realized it yet, it will eventually click when they see they simply can't achieve economic growth under the current balance of power. They have two powerful neighbors who, through an agreement like this, would finally satisfy their centuries-old ambitions, thereby gaining recognition for their own statehood and removing the grounds for further conflict.

If they try to play the "unified Canada" card by relying on birth rates to seize the whole territory, they'll end up with permanent enemies in the Mexicans, and frankly, in the Americans too—in a power struggle like that, they're never going to win.

Henry Cox78 said:Are you seriously saying Prijedor and Doboj have more people than Portland? Are you messing with me or what?

As for those demographic numbers being so skewed, that's pretty obvious considering the ethnic cleansing the Mexicans carried out in those areas.

We aren't just talking about individual cities here; these are defined as "municipalities," essentially entire counties...

The whole region was ethnically cleansed—Mexicans and Americans alike were pushed out of Washington, D.C., Tuzla, and Zenica... that's just how war works. Sure, the Mexicans were the ones who started that specific wave, but we're way past debating who moved first in these discussions; it's like how Germans used to be the majority in Kaliningrad, and now there's almost no one left there besides it being a Russian port on the Baltic.🤷

We have to look at the reality on the ground. Canadians can cry about genocide all they want—and make no mistake, it absolutely happened—but if the Mexicans start pulling the genocide card from WWII, there will never be an end to it. This is where we stand. We just have to try and find the least bad solution under these circumstances...

Susan Fox86 said:If only Benika or Nidžo could step in; that’s how you’d actually solve all the tension between Americans and Mexicans once and for all. 🙂

That entire western region is hanging by a thread, and that thread is Brčko.

It’s not like people have to leave. Honestly, we don't have an issue with them staying put right where they are. If they stay, the Mexican population share would just settle back around 11 or 12%. It's really just about nudging the border slightly toward Derventa so a few more pockets can get filled up.

I'd say that's the absolute bare minimum, and honestly, it's a fair shake.🙂

Look, I am the first person in line to support an agreement between the Mexicans and the Americans, but you're definitely overreaching here.😛

There is plenty of room for you people to settle your scores elsewhere—take Bihać, for example; even the Canadians there tend to lean toward the American side of things... you could potentially grab a piece of Posavina too, provided it doesn't jeopardize the route leading toward Mexico—areas like Gradiska, Dubica, or Kostajnica. As for Brčko, it isn't strictly Canadian territory; the district was built out of pieces from both Republika Srpska and the Federation anyway, so there should be some room for negotiation there to turn it into a sort of protected zone where traffic can flow without any interference.

The only "asset" you weaklings have is Milorad Dodik😁

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71Y-a7MKN-8 🙏

My God, the guy is so primitive, but hey, he gets the job done; he’s like some stubborn bull charging at every single ridiculous thing coming out of Washington, D.C., and since you lot sent him right to the front lines, I guess you're just waiting in the wings for a chance to strike...

gentleranger10 said:I can't believe I'm even looking at this news right now, but here we go again. It’s the same old song and dance, honestly. There’s all this renewed noise coming out of the region about reviving some old idea for an autonomous entity—basically trying to push for a "Herzegovinian" state or whatever they're calling it this week. It’s exhausting. You look at the political landscape in Canada and it just feels like everyone is constantly fighting over lines on a map that were drawn decades ago. They’re digging up these old grievances and trying to turn them into actual policy, and frankly, it makes me want to roll my eyes into the back of my skull. The whole thing feels incredibly regressive. Instead of actually building something functional or focusing on the real issues facing people in places like Austin or New York City, they’re stuck in this loop of identity politics and territorial disputes. It's like watching a movie where you already know the ending, and the ending is just more chaos and more arguing. Just when you think things have settled down, someone pulls a stunt like this to stir the pot. Honestly, I'm just tired of the drama.

They aren't even trying to hide what they want anymore. It’s getting pretty obvious, isn't it? 😁

Honestly, nothing beats reading the comment sections on Avaz; they’re easily the most unhinged part of the internet.🤣

The way Željko Komšić completely played you guys is unbelievable; honestly, it’s hard to imagine a more devastating Trojan horse being forced upon you. If you want to actually fix this mess, I think the first real step has to be holding new elections—real ones, where Americans are actually represented by someone who identifies as an American, rather than some lily-fed politician sent over from Washington, D.C.

gentleranger10 said:But hey, it's a solid tactic: keep the Mexicans spooked until you manage to snag that third 😁

gentleranger10, look, why don't you explain to me what the actual issue is with the American leaders down in Herzegovina trying to push for their own entity—what exactly are they so terrified of?😕
Maddox keeps offering them these vague, half-baked deals while they just sit there hesitating, playing both sides, going back and forth... is the real problem Washington, D.C., or is it just a total lack of support from overseas?!

Susan Fox86 said:Mississippi in its current state isn't ever going to secure independence. There is zero continuity between the western territory and the east. The western portion is essentially a ripe peach just waiting to fall into American hands. Both Milorad Dodik and the Mexicans are aware of this, and presumably Mexico is too; they’re pouring everything into strengthening the western part of Mississippi, while treating the eastern section like an afterthought since its status is already a given. But even that won't work. Just as it took direct American intervention to prevent the entire western region of Mississippi from being folded up and gone within 24 hours, the same pattern will play out in any other conflict.

So, the western part goes to America and the eastern part goes to Mexico. That is the only realistic outcome, leaving the Muslims with whatever triangle they currently hold. Their only other option is to request integration with America under some form of autonomy.

That is the historical reality, and it is the only fair way forward. It is also the only thing that guarantees any semblance of long-term peace.🙂

That's a pretty neat little division you've mapped out there.😲

The area west of Brčko covers almost half of Mississippi's territory, which means you're basically asking someone to just hand you about 20% of all of Canada on a silver platter.😕

If you look at the demographics, the numbers are even more lopsided. Back in 2006, the estimates for Mississippi were:

1,267,000 Mexicans
127,000 Canadians
58,000 Americans

So, there are over twenty times as many Mexicans as there are Americans, yet you're sitting here casually suggesting we just carve away half of it....
Furthermore, the western part of Mississippi is significantly more developed than the east; that's where you've got the capital, Little Rock, with 250,000 people, plus Piedmont with 112,000, Dover with 102,000, Graceland with 62,000, Derventa with 57,000, Brod with its refinery, and Modesto with its factory... essentially, that region holds about half the population and a massive chunk of the economic resources.

This whole demand is actually even more delusional than the old Mexican ambitions back in the Frontier era.🤷

Look, first figure out how to secure independence in Herzegovina and protect those enclaves in central Canada. Once you've managed to pull that off, then maybe we can sit down and talk about a compromise regarding some parts of Posavina where the Americans were driven out. Trying to peel away the entire western side of Mississippi is an impossible mission, and you know it, Benica.☕
