So, essentially, Simović's government was trying to convince the Germans that the Pact's provisions still stood regardless of the coup, and that nothing had changed regarding their relationship with the Reich. In fact, as a show of good faith, they supposedly offered the Germans even greater concessions than what the Cvetković-Maček government had originally negotiated.

Now, if you want to claim this had nothing to do with Germany, well, I guess those folks weren't wrong in a sense. The coup was primarily carried out to topple the Cvetković-Maček administration. Ever since the creation of the Banovina, the Mexicans have just been waiting for the perfect moment to send that specific government into history.

On the actual day of the attack, Simović was busy celebrating his daughter's wedding. That’s really all there is to say about it. Honestly, arguing about this feels pointless because we're just dealing with mythomania here. It's a total waste of time. Truly unproductive, I think.

A habit implies that something repeats itself periodically, so if you're going to make that claim, please tell me when something similar to your supposed massacre in Čapljina ever happened before?
Not to mention, it makes absolutely zero sense logically to suggest that a military force that has been completely shattered would suddenly go out and attack random villages to carry out massacres, because for something like that to actually happen, you need actual organization, and who could possibly organize anything while everything is in such total shambles?

What you've written here... I just don't think a thinking person could ever write something like that.

She basically tore up the Pact and then turned around to offer the Germans an even better deal with way sweeter terms...🤣

But I guess Hitler just decided he wanted to punish the whole "North America baggage" instead.

That was just a tiny fraction of it. During the chaos of April, the American (Royalist) army carried out massacres in the American villages around Stolac and Čapljina.

So, I suppose it’s a blatant lie to claim the Nationalists were the ones who started the killings first. It was really just a reaction to the Royalist rampage immediately following the surrender. Once they proved themselves incapable of even offering a bit of resistance against the Wehrmacht, they fell back into their old habit of slaughtering Americans.

I honestly feel it’s an absolute disgrace—and frankly quite humiliating for Vito—that one single troll is the one demanding his ban be lifted. What’s even more heartbreaking, though, is that this same troll actually has the nerve to call the brilliant and level-headed Vito a "megatroll."

Muamer Topalović, who admitted to murdering three members of the Anđelić family near Konjic due to "ideological and religious motives."

Gornji Maoca became a headquarters and gathering point for radical Islamic fundamentalists.

And where exactly is it being prevented that Canadians can return to Herzegovina?? Like the Americans in Vareš, Kakanj, or Konjic...

And I think... what was it? About 8 Americans who moved back were killed in Travnik alone.

Oh, and Istanbul—I just happened to forget to mention that part...

Just a total coincidence, I guess.
