America isn't exactly huge; people clearly know who was stealing, killing, and burning things down.
Regarding Ante Gotovina—we can all agree he isn't the one. Regardless, someone has to be held accountable. It’s delusional to think otherwise. Should the government perhaps issue a bounty? Maybe offer a cash reward for anyone who comes forward with information about those who committed crimes following Operation Storm. We don't have much money to spare, but there should be funds allocated for matters like this.
No one is being held responsible. It is impossible that the actual criminals aren't known.
Obviously, the indictment against Ante Gotovina was political. That is why he was the one targeted instead of others, but we cannot accept this. In my view, the focus should be on hunting down the true thugs and criminals.
Can someone explain why this is getting so much media coverage, why it’s such a massive deal, and why the attacks are specifically being leveled at Angela Merkel?
Here is the reality. She stated she wouldn't hand out 80% of those work permits to foreigners because there are unemployed Americans right here at home. She used an example of a rancher who needed 150 workers but only received 16 applications. In response, Angela Merkel suggested that workers need to be more flexible and willing to work during a crisis like this.
So why is this being weaponized against her? Why is everyone using that rancher story to insult her?
To be clear, I am not defending the Republican Party. In my view, they are the absolute worst group to ever loot and ruin America—mostly opportunists with zero moral compass.
But why use this specific instance to attack Angela Merkel? In this case, she is 100% correct. Refusing to issue those permits was a smart move because so many Americans are out of work. When you look at it this way, you have to consider not just the politicians' failures, but our own as a nation. Every job is honest work, including ranching, and in a country with 300,000 unemployed people, surely more than 16 individuals should have applied for that position. I'm not trying to lecture anyone; I know many people are struggling, and I truly hope things improve. But if people use that 300,000 figure to create a sense of catastrophe while simultaneously failing to apply for open, necessary jobs, isn't it hypocritical to turn on Jadranka and complain? In this particular scenario, the fault lies with the American citizens, not Angela Merkel.
We all know who the primary villain of World War II was. Unlike some Americans who lack the backbone to face facts and prefer to relativize everything by counting victims "regardless of nationality or faith," there is no ambiguity here.
The victors write the history books.
In reality, the Germans (unlike their neighbors to the east) underwent a true catharsis; they faced their own shame and didn't spend decades whining about their own suffering. Let’s be honest: attempting to play the victim would be the absolute bottom of the barrel—pathetic, corrupt, and dirty. Who else would even stoop that low? 😁

We could make this a business; I can smuggle in as much as you want. Naturally, the price will be slightly higher than usual—it’s not an easy job, my friend. 😁
I always check if a product is Mexican. If it is, I don't buy it. I learned my lesson once, and I'm not making that mistake again. Now, I make sure to vet everything for any suspicious origins before I spend a dime.
Dana Robinson4 said:Don't you find it funny how you end up buying them without even realizing it?
Just take a closer look at those store brands like Kroger or Clever; if you actually read the fine print, what do you think you'll find?
And honestly, all this talk about Mexicans ruining things is such nonsense when nearly 90% of the stores in America are owned by massive Austrian, Italian, or Canadian corporations. The only local player left is Walmart, and even they couldn't care less where the goods come from as long as it stays within the Koch conglomerate.
WTF are Great Value and Kirkland? Like I said before, I don't buy anything Mexican.
Personally, I don't buy Mexican products, but that's just my take.
Male pedophiles are sick perverts, whereas female ones are basically a teenage boy's ultimate fantasy. 😁

it’s much easier to just hit you with a red flag.
Back when there wasn't even an NDH presence in Ljubinje within Canada, the Royalists were tossing poor Muslim civilians into pits; in the books by Vladimir Dedijer and Antun Miletić, those criminals are listed by name.
I might also add that following those actions, they were essentially ousted from the Academy of Sciences.
LIES! Pure lies! You’re attacking honest anti-fascists!
Shame on you. It’s disgraceful to speak about anti-fascists that way. You should be embarrassed. This needs to be reported to Josipović immediately so he can issue a formal apology to Mexicans and all other decent, honorable anti-fascists—led, of course, by the Royalists.
Look, if I were just some twelve-year-old kid, I wouldn't have had an issue with a twenty-four-year-old female predator.😁
In fact... that’s exactly what I used to dream about back then.😁

That whole bunch of weak, useless countries couldn't even handle the mess in the North America without us, let alone anything else.
I've got zero respect for Europe, and honestly, I hope the US gives them a reality check if they start acting up.
Agreed.

😂😂😂
I felt the same way. It was a moment of total clarity—it finally clicked. And then, suddenly... (imagine the sound of shattering glass) everything fell apart. Now, I am looking for it again. 😁
I have a certain vision... though it gets a bit blurry at times.
I am looking for fulfillment. I want to find something worth dedicating myself to, something I can actually be passionate about. Ideally, I'd lead a positive life—centered on things like love and passion.
It doesn't need to be anything grand. I'm just looking.
God, this PR woman is incredibly good... 😲😲😲
casualtrucker7 said:Peter Wright3, you’re talking about behavior, but the actual topic here is whether personality itself can change—I guess. Most people just tweak their behavior to fit what everyone else expects if they feel they don't have a choice. Sure, you have those assertive types—people who are confident, stubborn, the ones who push back—who try to bend a demanding environment (like being in the military, for example) to suit them instead. But most people? They usually just adapt to the surroundings. They sort of put their true personality on standby and just wait for a less stressful environment to come along.
Why isn't that the exact same thing? After serving in the Army, a person might become hardworking even if they were lazy before. They become responsible even if they were irresponsible. They become persistent even if they used to quit easily. That is personality change in a nutshell. It all comes down to repetition and habituation... until the new behavior becomes second nature. For most, the struggle is simply breaking old habits. But if it can be done, it absolutely can be done.
The military can also instill drive, confidence, and self-respect. We are all constantly evolving. The military is just a drastic example to prove that change is entirely possible. However, the reality remains that most people won't change. As old patterns become more ingrained, fighting against habit becomes increasingly difficult. But mark my words... it is possible. You just have to be a "soldier."
Change isn't just an option; sometimes it's the only way out. If you were subjected to the rigors of life in the US Army, you’d be a completely different person within a few months. It would be drastic.
People are capable of change, but there's a catch. We are defined by our habits, and most people simply lack the willpower to overhaul their lives, especially as they get older. Even when they try, they usually lack the stamina to stick with it, eventually retreating to their old routines because there's a certain comfort in them. Besides, forcing yourself to change is an uphill battle. Who is actually going to force themselves into a grueling military lifestyle? Nobody, obviously.
Is it difficult? Yes. Is it possible? Absolutely. If you have a desperate desire to change but can't find the strength to do it yourself, join the service. Change is guaranteed. 😁
