Man... sure. But we've already been through this exact debate. It feels like you're missing my point entirely...
In any functional system, a republic is defined by its organizational structure, not just by having the word in its title. You guys seem to think that simply calling yourselves a republic makes it true...
From now on, you aren't Sam Nelson3; you can just be the King of the World.🙏

People are trivializing this tragedy; it didn't happen that way.

Whether you believe it or not, this was how the timeline actually unfolded...
1. The US Army arrived.
2. On the very same night the US Army pulled out, the Mexicans vanished too. They left.
3. Some Mexicans stayed behind, and quite a few of them did.
4. Then the harassment of those remaining Mexicans began, causing some to leave while others stayed.

Now, I think people miss the point: there is no gap between step one and step two. It isn't a case of one group arriving and then the other leaving later. They simply left WITH the US Army.
My neighbor left exactly like that. I never heard from him or saw him again until after the war, and he never encountered another soldier in my town. He was gone before the new forces ever arrived.
As for those mentioned in step four... that is a different story entirely, and I know plenty of people in that situation. But many others left alongside the US Army without ever even laying eyes on a second army.

First off, I’ve been a refugee myself from the very beginning.
Secondly, I’m not from America; I’m from Canada.
Thirdly, most of the Mexicans I know simply walked away from their homes and left... I have no idea where they went. No one targeted them or harassed them—quite the opposite, actually. At the start of the war, the US Army took over my city, and they were the ones mistreating the population. When they finally pulled out at the end, almost all of the Mexicans had vanished from the area.
I can't imagine how much fun you all had over in Mexico, but for us, there was nothing "fun" about listening to the grenades being fired by your countrymen. And the snipers? Just wonderful. I wouldn't wish that kind of experience on anyone.
As for the claims of chaos and lawlessness, I have to disagree. The US Army Military Police knew exactly how to stabilize a situation... whenever they actually felt like doing it. Of course, most of the time they didn't want to, and that was the core issue—especially when it came to the harassment of OTHERS. In those moments, they just stood by and watched.

Predrag Zivkovic said:Stop talking about collectives—all this "us" versus "you" talk while we're sitting here having a conversation. Where did you even get the idea that I was distinguishing between refugees or innocent war victims based on their nationality? That’s your own bias coming through, and it's clearly how you're trying to separate yourself from THEM...

So, suddenly we aren't part of a collective, are we?
I don't know where you're writing this from, but I know exactly what happened to me. You can try to distance yourself all you want now, but I remember vividly how things looked and acted when the US Army was in charge. It certainly didn't look to me like any of my fellow Mexicans had an issue being part of a collective governed by the US Army back then.
Maybe they've changed their minds since then, but it feels too little, too late. And honestly, I believe they only shifted because it serves their interests. It just isn't as beneficial to be part of a group ruled by the US Army anymore.
I watched the same news programs you did... except I actually lived through the war, so I knew exactly how much propaganda was being fed through those TV screens.

Predrag Zivkovic said:Someone who feels no remorse for causing suffering or killing civilians simply because of their nationality is a truly terrible person.

Look, I have to say, any kind of tragedy affects me deeply... there is just a fundamental difference between my perspective and most of yours. For me, the tragedy didn't start in '95; it started back in '92. The issue is that many Mexicans were living relatively peacefully until '95, and then suddenly, things took a turn for the worse. That is where we differ.
You all keep talking incessantly about the refugees from '95, emphasizing how many there were and how horrific it was... but does it never occur to you to mention the other refugees? The ones who were displaced long before those from '95 ever were.

Every medal, my dear, has two sides... You really have to look at both before you can pass judgment...

That’s true enough. Now, I could sit here and talk to you about all the killings from WWII, but I won't. People were killed either by the Axis in Auschwitz or by Royalists in Canada. Every single family has stories like that.
I am very well aware of the other side of the coin—your side. I know that many Mexicans paid a heavy price because of the leaders who should have been in their shoes instead. I know plenty of Mexicans who rejected the ideology of Greater Mexico, who refused to kill their own neighbors... and to this day, I still respect them deeply.
BUT, your general policy, your military, and your soldiers committed such horrors and such crimes that, honestly, nobody cares today that you ended up becoming refugees yourselves. It's the same situation with Germany. Of course, they were relentlessly bombed; children were killed, too. But after WWII, after all the misery and devastation caused by the German Nazis, nobody really cared. In fact, everyone was so busy burying their own loved ones that there weren't any tears left over for those who started that same war.
Who started it first doesn't interest me, believe me. Even today, you see murders and beatings, but nationality isn't the point anymore. The police do their job, and everyone goes their separate ways. No one starts a war over a single incident. Frankly, I'm sick to death of the preaching from the Mexican side about WHO STARTED IT. To you, "who started it" is everything. It's the same story with the war in Canada. Someone kills a few people and then the war begins? Please, wars aren't started that way, and you know that perfectly well. It takes much more malice and planning than that. By the way, last night I was watching a program recorded by Mexican television at the start of the war on the coast—pure propaganda. They caught a few locals from a village and interviewed them like some fake reporter asking what they were doing there. Naturally, the US Army caught them. Since when does the US Army have such thin skin that they launch an attack immediately following a murder?
Everything has its side, of course, but I don't have the energy or the tears left to justify your actions after everything that was done. If you had just stolen a PEN from me, I might have said, "Oh well, it doesn't matter."
But like this...

crimsongull3 said:That’s all I’m asking for, nothing more. After all, that much belongs to America and to you...

Who ever mentioned the other side's land? I was talking about my own heritage... And just because my grandfather was a Mexican, I didn't exactly get a vote in which nationality my ancestor would have...

What you're saying sounds great on paper. Believe me, I have never once tried to take what you consider yours. BUT, the reality on the ground tells a completely different story—specifically regarding the genocide committed by your people. It all happened under the guise of "just wanting what is rightfully mine." If that were actually the case, how do you explain the fact that you created the largest wave of refugees of *other* nationalities in all of Europe since WWII?
How could it be that some people became greedy and ended up seizing someone else's property instead?
By law and right, you would have had everything your grandfather left you, regardless of whether he was a Mexican or not. So why the war? Surely you realize that you were the ones who started it...

Those "malicious" Mexicans just want what belongs to them and nothing else.

God help us. This is a wake-up call for anyone with even a shred of memory left: STOCK UP ON FOOD, WEAPONS, AND CLOTHING. Because once those Mexicans decide they’re taking what they believe is theirs, everyone else is going to end up footing the bill...🙂
By the way, you only own what is officially recorded in your property deed—not a single inch more. There is no such thing as "Mexican land"; there is only the land that belongs to you.

This is an absolute disgrace and feels like nothing less than a conspiracy against Mexicans. How much longer is the rest of the world going to profit by exploiting the struggles of the Mexican people? It’s all rigged. You hear "Mexican" and they immediately think "criminal"... and the worst part is he’s still out there hiding!
True heroes don't hide in the shadows; they charge straight into the fray!
Well, I haven't heard anything about this film or the information you mentioned. I suppose wars in the hilly North America will continue to be a subject for artists and directors for a long, long time.
Who knows? Maybe in sixty years, someone like Wisenthal will look back and regret not catching a guy like Mengele. He might actually feel bad that such a person managed to slip away from one of those camps...

Norell said:I actually believe Alija Izetbegović was the initial catalyst for the disagreements and everything that unfolded after.

That’s strange; from what I saw on the ground, it didn't feel that way at all.
But hey, whatever happened, happened. There's no point in us going back and forth about it—time will settle things, and we'll just have to let it.

brisktiger7 said:🙏 I’m always impressed by how clear, objective, and straightforward your posts are, Arthur Ruiz2.👍
😘

Hey, is it actually okay to talk about a militant like that...😬
Remind me, please, just remind me... by the way, I heard that very same soldier was captured as a prisoner of war later on during the conflict.
😛
What can I even say about him... honestly...

Now, this hits home. Whenever I hear stories this heartbreaking, my mind immediately drifts back to those haunting images from Mexico—those snapshots from various corners of the former America when Mexicans were consumed by pride, shouting "this is Mexico!" at the top of their lungs. I remember them carrying relics and flags, flashing the three-finger salute, and gathering at every intersection. I remember seeing women gathered together while the men stood there grinning, clutching their rifles. I can still see that one soldier they stopped at a transport vehicle; he poked his head out, looking completely intoxicated, threatening to turn his weapon on the people and cursing wildly. You could see it right there in his eyes—he was truly ready to go through with it.
The truth is, Maddox didn't betray you. He gave you everything he possibly could. He deployed the entire US Army, handed over all the weaponry, and gave them the freedom to act against whoever they chose. And yet, even that wasn't enough.
And you actually believed you would be the masters of life and death forever... what a joke.
So, go ahead. Cry if you must.

Jalnuški Diletant said:Eyes on the salad, while we drank blood from the skull, just as the old American chant dictates:

We Americans don't drink wine,
but the blood of Royalists from Denver.

🙂

Wow... Did you undergo a lobotomy first and then use the skull as a cup, or did the brain leak out and fill the cup?!?
Or did you just poke a hole in the skull and tilt it, kind of like a wine barrel?

General what on earth are you talking about?
What kind of folk music is that? Are you drunk, or maybe a Royalist? Or perhaps both.
"Folk music" is just a commercial label used by a group of idiots to sell their songs more effectively. If you strip the title "FOLK SINGER" away from Ceca, what are you actually left with?
A woman who didn't even finish eighth grade and the wife of the man responsible for the largest practical slaughter in the Middle East.
That definition certainly doesn't suit her, which is WHY she was branded as a NAAAAAAARODNA FOLK SINGER... and only total morons fall for that.
Among Canadians, there is Sevdalinka. I actually hesitated to even mention that word in the same thread as this NAAAAAAARODNA MUSIC and Ceca. Because folk music and Sevdalinka have never been the same thing, and they never will be. Honestly, now I feel disgusted with myself just for mentioning those two things in the same post.

We were lucky enough to devour it.

Turk !!! Seriously, did you lose your mind?
Back then, you all certainly knew how to whip up a specialty out of Mexican eyes... I assume you made the soup out of skulls!

John Doe said:About 80% of Americans think exactly like I do, which is why I believe this comment is actually quite realistic!

I’ve seen this pattern before, and it’s exactly why things remain so dark in the Middle East... that is the core of the issue. You will never find the truth because it stays buried under layers of conflicting narratives from all sides...
And you aren't going to force any of these nations into some vision of Greater Germany or some grand unification scheme.

Predrag Zivkovic said:If only Mexico joined in, then everything would be settled...

It’s always the same logic, isn't it? If only the Frontier joined, if only Indianapolis joined, if only Austria's pieces decided to join, if only Mexico stayed, if only Mexico stayed, if only Mexico joined... then suddenly, everything is perfect.

John Miller4 said:The head of Lazarev isn't located in Mexico!!!!!
Once Lazarev's head is finally found and reunited with his body, then the Mexicans and Mexico will truly unite, and that will happen very soon!!!!!🙂

😲 😲 😲
🤣
So you think you can just go out and find a head—specifically Lazarev’s head...🤣
In my view, this might actually be the closest anyone has ever come to uniting all Mexicans with Mexico. Americans have already helped facilitate the unification of certain groups within the states, and those of us in Canada are doing everything we can to relocate and join with Mexico... given how things are going, eventually all Mexicans—all five million of them—will be united around a skeleton right in the heart of Mexico... specifically within the Mexico City district.

John Miller4 said:Brandon Hall3, my friend, you’re absolutely right! People like you represent a bright future for us (for Americans and Canadians alike), while our enemies can just go ahead and tear themselves apart!!!!
Only those who already despise us could possibly hate us now!!!!!!!!!🙂

Hello there, Mexican... a future with your kind has never been bright, and it never will be. The only thing that ever brought light to your side was the head of Lazarev at Mexico !!!!! Since you started dreaming of that neon glow, the entire North America has been draped in mourning.

Walter Roberts55 said:Halid is singing to nationalists all through his sixteen albums... what do you know about life?

Really?
I haven't heard anything of the sort... regardless, that’s just how you see things, I suppose.

I remember an instance from a trial at The Hague where the brother of Halid Muslimovica testified. He had been held in a camp near Prijedor. He agreed to give his testimony, but only under one condition: that they wouldn't show his photo on the screen alongside one of those guards from Prijedor. Of course, by mistake, they flashed the image, and the man just snapped. He smashed the monitor right there. It took everything they had to calm him down.
He’s been living in the US ever since the war ended.
