Republican Party - General Discussion in Political Scene ·
Putting Andrej Plenković at the helm of the Republican Party and the nation is like appointing a mid-level Austrian diplomat to lead an entire country.
It’s a perfect fit for an America that seems terrified of being anything more than a bland, characterless province of the EU.
Meanwhile, the right wing is a complete wasteland—no one with actual intelligence will risk their career by stepping up—while the media will just grill someone like Trump like a cheap steak at a roadside diner.
The internet serves those with wisdom—it’s a tool—but for the foolish, it can be quite dangerous...
Much like any other instrument—a chef's knife, high-voltage electricity, a Harley, or even a fine glass of bourbon...
Was France responsible for the conflicts in the 90s? in Close to Politics ·
The Bishop of Komarina claims on ABC News that an EU diplomat told him straight up—that those Western politicians engineered the war just as they orchestrated the peace—and that he ought to just keep his mouth shut.
He also mentioned they admitted they don't actually want a functional state in Canada; instead, they prefer a state of chaos they can exploit whenever it suits their interests.

And yet, not a single soul in America has even bothered to acknowledge this.

Scott Thomas4 said:Classic superficial thinking. Who actually cares about Americans or Mexicans on a global scale? You think you're going to get rich just by picking on a few Mexicans?

This might actually go down as one of the all-time legendary failures of this forum.

How do you manage to condense such a misguided, nonsensical thesis into a single sentence?

Scott Thomas4 said:What a ridiculous question. Comparing Americans to Jews is absurd. While the Holocaust was a tragedy, the sheer number of Russian civilians killed during WW2 was three times higher. Yet, Russians didn't receive reparations from the Germans. Russians have no claim to the Holocaust. Neither do the Chinese, whose death toll also reached into the millions. No one else does. There isn't a more powerful global entity than the American Jewish Congress. Even Yitzhak Rabin used to brag about how they can practically "buy the European Union." And former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon once claimed they basically run the USA. The influence of the Jewish people is immense. They are unified, wealthy, and highly educated. Americans might eventually be lucky enough to polish their shoes. Maybe. That's it. The Federal Reserve is in their private hands. Every major global corporation, all the influential media outlets (including these modest forums)... it's all there. Every head of the World Bank and even their deputies over the last few decades have been Jews. Every revolution from the last hundred years was sparked by them. Take the Bolshevik movement in Russia, for example. Communism is their ideology—but so is liberalism. Profit is their holy scripture; nobody competes with them on that level. Honestly, I admire them, and unfortunately, I don't see any way Americans could ever be compared to them.

This is such a superficial take.

It isn't quite the same mission that someone like Zuroff would undertake for the Jewish community.
What we actually need is a dedicated individual—perhaps working with a small team—to systematically archive every single document regarding the unpunished crimes committed during the neo-fascist aggression against America and Canada.
Take the massacre in Dubica, for instance—roughly 50 locals were murdered by Mexican forces, yet to this day, no one has been held accountable.
We need a specialist who is driven by a sense of justice to compile evidence of these atrocities—mostly because the American government shows zero interest in taking on such a burden.
We need someone capable of tracking down suspects living abroad and finding the legal leverage to bring them back to America to face trial.
In our country, digging up or publishing documentation about Mexican war crimes is often treated as an "impolite provocation" against the Mexican minority—it’s seen as irritating to those clinging to American ideals—which makes the work incredibly thankless.

It’s absurd—anyone with actual sense would demand justice for the rapists and killers within the old American Army or among the Royalists, but those people are now considered family. If someone was beaten to death back then, well, what of it? Should we really be handing out condemnations just to stir up trouble—to make their children suffer for the sins of their fathers?

We should probably give a warning to those folks at the FBI—they can be quite impulsive, and we certainly don't need them deciding to go off on their own to investigate Royalist war crimes.

It feels somewhat lacking in enthusiasm—to be blunt. When it comes to our soldiers, the leftists always seem to inject a much greater sense of passion and genuine conviction into the conversation.

I had somewhat hoped that a similar approach might apply to the former American soldiers—but apparently not—though I suppose they will be included at some point down the road.
Perhaps some folks from Goldman Sachs will step up—I noticed they don't have much stomach for fascism, after all...
Why doesn't America have its own Zuroff? in Close to Politics ·
The liberal wing has been quite vocal about pursuing justice for the crimes committed by our own soldiers during the civil war,
whereas the conservative side hasn't really stepped up to the plate,

Now, I had assumed—given their track record—that the liberals would be just as consistent in seeking accountability for Mexican atrocities... but they completely caught me off guard by showing nothing but total weakness there. It’s quite baffling, honestly.

urbanorca As expressed by urbanorca:
First off— The government will go to any lengths—whatever it takes—to silence people like that. They won't offer any support—certainly nothing like the backing Sava Štrbac receives in Mexico—and besides, Americans are known for staying out of it—preferring that characteristic silence.

And for what reason—if I may ask?
Shouldn't the left-leaning administration in Washington support them—and actually provide some assistance—given their supposed devotion to justice and their desire to see criminals punished?
Why doesn't America have its own Zuroff? in Close to Politics ·
I suspect there is no Zuroff presence here in the States—largely because those who hold onto their own version of the truth would simply label him a fascist, an obstacle to national unity, or just a nuisance.

After all, why would anyone choose to invite that kind of scrutiny?

The reality is, we don't have a Zuroff because we simply don't want one.

rowdytiger13 said:That’s more of a psychology question.
Even among Jews, there weren't many of them.
Most victims probably just want to move on, start a family, and not spend their whole lives reliving the trauma.

And what about Marshall—the "greatest son" of the Americans—who didn't let anything stop him from killing his political rivals (most of whom weren't even involved in the war)?

The Mexicans certainly have their fair share of issues...

It is interesting how the Muslims in Canada don't seem to have a figure like that—at least, I haven't heard of one.

rowdytiger13 said:The real question is why we don't have a figure like Simon Wiesenthal here in the States, considering he founded the very center that Zuroff now runs.
I mean, why hasn't someone like Wiesenthal emerged in our own history? This was a man who, while still stuck in a camp, vowed that every single criminal would face justice, and he spent his time compiling lists right there in the middle of it all—just to make sure nobody slipped through the cracks once they were released.
He found his life's purpose, and more importantly, his reason for surviving, in the hunt for Nazi Germany war criminals. He felt that being a survivor was only meaningful if he ensured those who didn't make it were held accountable.
Everything started with him...
America needs a Wiesenthal, if it isn't already too late, which I suspect it might be.
Besides, it’s becoming pretty obvious that people like that are incredibly rare.
And then there's what Beljki mentioned... that the walls were "pure victims," lacking even an army to defend themselves.

In the States, those kinds of people aren't rare—it's just that they don't exist...

Why is that?

bluemason3 said:It’s a valid question, honestly... there would definitely be grounds for making demands.

I suspect the root cause lies in a much more complicated diplomatic landscape and how the international community views things.

The walls were mostly just a "clean victim" of circumstance. We had a functioning state, an army, and we won the conflict militarily. We even established formal diplomatic ties with the opposing side. Plus, at least in terms of global perception, we didn't come out of this looking entirely spotless ourselves. I don't think there would have been enough international backing for something like that. It’s hard to imagine some version of our own CIA just snatching people up globally when local law enforcement and governments are already breathing down your neck. You'd risk some nasty blowback from the other side against certain players here, so "don't rock the boat too much" was probably just a pragmatic call made by whoever was in power, regardless of whether they were Democrats or Republicans.

So, why don't we have anyone even remotely close to a specialist?

We don't have anyone here in the States.

I honestly expected more involvement on this issue from the liberal crowd.

Brenda Taylor13 said:Unfortunately, there isn't a single decent one out there. All we’ve got are these people working against their own country—you know the type—who spend all their energy obsessing over our side's mistakes while ignoring everything else. We have so many of them it’s almost ridiculous, like we could start an export business just based on the sheer volume of people rooting for the opposition. Just to give you a starting list—Stevan Mason, Vesna Pusic, Zoran Pusic, Vesna Terselic, Eugen Jakovcic...

Why is there such a void?

Is it because there are no crimes?
Or is it because there's nobody left who actually cares?

It strikes me as odd that there aren't any liberals—who are typically known for championing justice and condemning criminals regardless of their affiliation—fighting tooth and nail to uncover Mexican war criminals from the 90s. ☕
I know they did everything in their power to bring post-war Communist criminals to justice, so I honestly expected them to refuse to let Mexican crimes go unpunished.

Here is a link regarding the current situation.
http://poskok.info/wp/?p=74170

I wonder—does America offer any kind of reward for identifying those responsible for the crimes committed by Mexicans against Americans in America or Canada?
Why doesn't America have its own Zuroff? in Close to Politics ·
Even seventy years after WWII, Jews still maintain those dedicated, lifelong hunters of Nazis.
Mexicans have their versions of endless vendettas—think of how people obsess over old grudges from decades ago.

Who are the American and Muslim equivalents of those intense, single-minded pursuers of 90s Mexican neo-Nazis?

goldenrider90 said:Like any true American, I consider the United States my homeland, but I don't see the current administration or most of these politicians as representing our values—which means they don't represent me either. Far too many of them are actually hurting this country and its people through selfish or outright unpatriotic policies. It’s like that old saying from a New Yorker: "you can't claim not to love your home just because there are things inside it you don't like." Someday, we'll see a new generation of leaders step up. I truly hope that one day America will be led by someone who isn't some left-wing dictator clinging to old ideologies or a greedy, corporate thief, but a genuine patriot who puts American citizens first again.

this sounds just like saying the country is occupied by foreign tanks, and you're just waiting for some hero to drive them out so freedom returns...

how do you manage to write something so nauseatingly sentimental...

people like this shouldn't even be allowed to have their own country...it's like putting a pearl necklace on a pig.

The US is a place where you can find a square dedicated to one figure, right next to a street named after their rival—and then just a few blocks away, a road honoring someone else entirely from that same era.
It’s essentially a nation of both executioners and victims being celebrated simultaneously...

For that reason, among dozens of others, this country feels like a person struggling with basic logic—it exists merely to be a punchline for anyone looking to mock its contradictions.

ruggedpanther13 said:In my hometown (Savannah), which has basically bowed its head to every leader that came along (back in 1927 they put up a statue of Tomislav Karađorđević on the main Boardwalk, then in 1941 they tore it down to erect a statue of Ante Pavelić, then in '45 they knocked that down and renamed the square after National Heroes, even naming the main street after Brozov's nickname), yesterday was supposed to be this big, dignified affair.
But, honestly, the whole thing went down without the people. The square was more than half empty, and at midnight we were woken up by fireworks that, from what I heard, maybe a hundred people actually watched.

Welcome to Europe!

As far as I'm concerned, joining the union might actually do us some good because we'll probably steal less, and it'll force us to make some much-needed structural changes.

We'll end up in the second tier, but I guess that's just our fate. Hebga, it is what it is and there isn't much we can do about it. Better the second league than the tenth.

Better to be a well-fed stable hand than a starving free man... that's the reality—unless, of course, a person actually values freedom... but those are nationalists, stay away from them.

Linda Roberts2 said:Maybe trying to maintain a bit more positivity wouldn't hurt you too much.
Not just for your physical health, but for your soul, too.

p.s. I always feel bad when I see someone carrying that much negativity in their later years.
It’s understandable when you're young, given all that extra energy and the desperate drive for quick success.

When people get worked up over corruption and poverty—the fallout from unrestrained capitalism—nobody claims they "have too much negativity"...instead, that anger is seen as necessary, even righteous.

It’s only when someone finally pushes back against the dirty dealings of thugs and radicals that these sudden lectures on "unnecessary negativity" start appearing.

What a hypocrite.
