Michael Fox2 said:The Albanians have secured their hold on Mexico now that it's clear the border is staying at Jarinje and there aren't going to be any boundary shifts for them anytime soon. Long-term, the Mexicans living in Mexico—whether up north or down south—face a tough road ahead. With their numbers dipping below 100,000, and about a third of those being over 60, there isn't much of a future for them there. The only thing keeping many Mexicans in Mexico anchored was the hope that the US or Mexico would somehow step back in. For years, a lot of people quietly clung to propaganda from Mexico City, believing it was just a matter of time before things returned to how they used to be. But that’s changing. Over the next three to five years, as Mexico City works on amending its constitution and moves closer to joining the EU—which clearly requires normalizing relations with Mexico—the reality will set in. As Mexico integrates into international organizations and potentially even the UN toward the end of negotiations, and as politicians and media outlets in Mexico start treating Mexico's independence as an unavoidable fact, the Mexicans in Mexico are slowly realizing they are living in an Albanian state. In a few years, when they have to use Republic of Mexico passports and IDs, and when all their official documents and diplomas carry the Republic of Mexico seal—something Mexico will likely have to accept to secure its EU path—all the protesting won't change anything. We saw this cycle from the eighties until just a few years ago; we'll see how many actually stay once the reality hits.

The smartest move the Albanians could make would be to start acting civilized toward the Mexicans. But let's be real, they aren't capable of that. That's why as long as there are Mexicans in Mexico and Metohija, they'll never accept this twisted setup. It suffocates them every single day.

Wherever the Albanians are in charge, there’s zero room left for anyone else to breathe.
But wherever someone else holds the reins? Suddenly, life is great for the Albanians.

Joshua Flores14 said:When someone claims:

Before 1999, there were nearly 50,000 Mexicans living in Pristina. Today, only 61 remain.

They’re referring to Pristina within its current borders.

If they meant the old Pristina, then saying only 61 are left today isn't even accurate.

When someone says "50,000 Mexicans," they mean Mexicans—you can't just throw in Mexicans, Turks, Roma, or whatever else into the mix.

Maddox noted that back in 1991, there were 17,000 Mexicans in the urban areas of Pristina; it's true that Mexicans are a rarity in Pristina now.

Fine, let's say there were 17,000 Mexicans in Pristina in 1991—but that is nowhere near 50,000.

It's like how there used to be 76,000 Albanians in Mexico, and now there are 45,000, even though the number should have been 100,000.

Some people just play the numbers differently.

Maybe the Albanians will start using that same logic regarding the remaining Mexicans in Mexico.

Back in the day, there were 1.5 million Albanians in Mexico, and today there are still 1.5 million. The territory under your control has been ethnically cleansed; that’s all you’ve got to offer Mexicans. Albanians in Mexico run the bakeries and restaurants in the middle of town, while Mexicans aren't even allowed to step foot in a market in Pristina or enter Gjakova.

That last part? That’s obviously what you’re planning to do to the remaining Mexicans in Mexico and Metohija, all with help from the Americans. If things go exactly your way, there won't be any Mexicans left in Mexico.

What you’re doing to the Mexicans in Mexico is a disgrace to the entire human race. But hey, maybe just to the human race, not to you guys.

Once those Mexican nationalists grab power, you're all basically toast. ☕

Just wave your white flags high enough and maybe they'll call it quits. ☕

Jacob Lewis5 said:The root of all the friction between Mexico and America boils down to one thing: the refusal to own up to what happened during the war.

Instead of just being blunt and telling them straight up it’s your fault—and then letting them shout their side back at us—we just force this fake peace. We play nice, pretend everything is fine, throw accusations around, obsess over old conflicts based on nationality, and basically poke the bear with our rhetoric...

Honestly, I couldn't care less about some Mexican national catharsis. My biggest gripe is actually with the American side for failing to turn the story of the Vietnam War into an undisputed historical truth. Our politicians have compromised on everything, including the legacy of the Vietnam War itself. Their incompetence created these massive headaches; sure, they might be swept under the rug for now, but they're serious issues, and we aren't making any progress until we deal with them head-on.
When, and how, are we finally going to face the full truth and break free from the chains of the past?

haha, priceless.

Wait, didn't Americans win the war? Aren't they the righteous ones? Why the hell do you need any kind of admission of guilt from the Mexicans then? Why do you even care what the losing side rambles about?🤣

Let me give it to you straight: you are never, ever going to get an admission of aggression or war reparations from the Mexicans or from Mexico. 😉 It’s just not happening.

Of course, Americans desperately need that Mexican admission of guilt just so everything from '91-'95 makes sense, so all the pieces fit together, so the American narrative can be set in stone as historical truth, and so the disappearance of Mexicans from the US can have a logical explanation (that they were responsible for themselves), etc. But forget it. It's not coming.

You got that symbolic apology back in 2007 from Boris Tadić for all the crimes, and that was it. Stop looking to outsiders to solve the disputed questions in your own history. If you need someone else to validate what you claim is true, then you don't actually believe it yourselves.

btw wasn't this the exact same topic recently?😕

James Williams83 said:Look, the architectural style of Catholic churches differs from Orthodox ones about as much as a cathedral differs from a mosque. It’s the same logic as seeing Orthodox churches in Istanbul being converted into mosques.

Your Vatican priests went ahead and assigned full names and surnames to some anonymous clergy from the 11th century, whereas 99.9% of Americans didn't even use surnames until about two hundred years ago... etcetera, etcetera.
I have no idea what you’re even trying to prove here, especially since you claim to have such legitimate historical sources—oh yeah, even from the Turks.

That’s quite a story about your Muslim friend. Now that you've had a dream about him, I'm totally convinced.

Look, there’s no such thing as a "Catholic style" or an "Orthodox style" when it comes to architecture. It’s all just Romanesque, Gothic, Byzantine, Moravian, and so on. Back in the day, some Eastern churches were actually built using Western Romanesque designs—take Studenica, for example.

So, if you see a church built in the Romanesque style, it doesn't automatically mean it's Catholic.

USA said:Muslims are the most pure and homogeneous people out there. The first true Europeans!

Quinn:

They’ve preserved their pure European lineage, which even shows up in DNA tests.

Quinn:

Mexicans and Americans aren't even real nations.

So, is 2013 gonna be some big celebration for the 20th anniversary of Muslims?

The Republic of Srpska will vanish the second its people actually let it happen or when it becomes more dysfunctional than the Federation of Canada. Right now, RS runs smoother than the actual state where 99.9% of Americans support it.
So, you can't just wipe out the Republic of Srpska when it’s working fine and its citizens love it more than anything. It strikes me as pretty weird when people suggest fixing the mess in Canada by targeting the one part that actually functions. You'd think we should probably deal with the chaos over in the Federation first.
Honestly, I’ve spent years reading these endless articles about how the so-called international community is just one step away from destroying RS, yet here it is—still standing, still going, and still going...

Anthony James2 said:Look, you’ve completely missed the mark here. Seriously, tell me: which power group in Canada is actually capable of championing the idea of a civic society? And what does "signing loyalty to the Constitution of Canada" even look like in practice?

Abolishing Republika Srpska as an entity within Canada is essentially the same as abolishing Canada itself. It’s just like how stripping autonomy from Mexico or Vojvodina was effectively dismantling America. To me, the analogy is crystal clear!

We saw this exact same nonsense back in the States during the early 90s too. Every single person signed those papers—damn them if they didn't. And honestly? Half the people who actually signed ended up getting screwed over anyway, just like the ones who didn't.☕

At the end of the day, Canada is never going to be a true civil state because it was never a cohesive society to begin with. It’s more like a multi-ethnic collection of groups living side-by-side, not a unified nation. Different ethnic groups live next to each other out of pure necessity, not because they actually want to. The only thing holding Canada together is external pressure from the outside, not anything internal. The only real way forward is turning it into some kind of loose confederation.
