@ swiftwalker43, I swear the Kuljiš brand American journalism was actually calling for people to go out and hunt Mexicans down... or maybe I'm just seeing things...☕

Well, I looked it up, and it turns out things aren't quite how you described them.
During the anniversary of Luna 2, an American academic specializing in astronautics, Anton Vitek, mentioned that the Soviet plan was actually to blow up the moon.
So, the journalist in Southern California was just reporting what he heard; he didn't just make it up.
Now, the real question is whether what that expert said is actually true or not.🤷

Emily Clark6 said:Let’s be real about journalists... most of them are just failed students who couldn't get into their actual dream program, so they settled for journalism after bombing the entrance exams. Or worse, they barely finished high school, kind of like that idiot Kuljiš. I’ve noticed that when American journalists try to tackle science topics, they write absolute nonsense, but this piece I stumbled upon a few days ago? It takes the cake...🤣🙄Basically, the author claims the Soviets intended to blow the moon into tiny little pieces. To clarify, the supposed plan was to launch an atomic bomb via rocket toward the moon, but they allegedly got cold feet about a potential atmospheric accident and backed off. In the madness of the Cold War, sure, the idea isn't totally impossible, but is it really possible for a journalist to be so incredibly dense that they actually believed a single nuclear explosion could destroy the moon?🤷😲

I’m not saying I don't believe you, since there are definitely idiots out there, but do you have a link? It sounds a little too ridiculous for someone to actually claim that.

In 1999, America hit rock bottom socially and economically...

By the year 2000, America had hit absolute rock bottom both socially and economically (just look at the national debt figures from 1999 compared to what happened after 2000), and on top of that, it reached a moral nadir when it turned into nothing more than a traitorous, subservient nation!

Oligarchs plundered America, the Republican Party saw less popularity than ever, and with the death of Franjo Harmon, they were left without a figurehead who could actually mobilize their voters...

What oligarchs? What on earth are you talking about? America was plundered—and "plundered"—by aggressors (I hope you actually know which ones those were?). And if they lost popularity, they can thank the aggressive and disgusting leftist demagoguery that was launched and backed by at least 80% of all types of media! If all that garbage they spewed was just "demagoguery," it would have been obvious within the very first year of their rule!

Labor protests and police brutality, protected criminals and wiretapped journalists...

I think you might be a bit confused! Labor protests—when and where? What police brutality? If you aren't totally mistaken, the stripping of labor rights and so many other things happened *after* 2000, just like the kind of police brutality that inevitably occurs when professionalism and expertise are lost—something the comrades after 2000 made sure to happen very quickly by purging the entire civil service of professionals and experts.
And if there were wiretapped journalists, there were—but it wasn't that they needed to be wiretapped, it's that they should have been prosecuted and locked up (perhaps you forgot that America went through a war that we didn't start?)!

Despite voter fraud, media intimidation, and Republican-tailored electoral districts, they still suffered defeat...

What voter fraud? Who, how, when, where, and which media outlets were being intimidated?
And Republican-tailored districts, apparently? So I suppose Democratic-tailored ones would be perfectly fine?
They faced defeat because of the reasons mentioned above, but it became more or less clear just how much and in what way the Democratic Party cheated the people, and honestly, the acronym "party of lies and cheats" suits them perfectly!

The Democratic-Liberal coalition, led by Ivica Račan and Dražen Budiša, secured 43 seats (Democratic Party) and 25 seats (Liberal Party)...

It didn't take long for even Budiša to realize he was being used and played—and honestly, it’s even more pathetic for Budiša because he got screwed over back in 1971 too (if you don't know the history, just ask someone who does!). Do you really think they would have won without Budiša, regardless of their other partners?

Alongside Zlatko Tomćić's Agrarian Party (17 seats), Jakovčić's IDS (4 seats), Vlada Gotovac's Liberal Party (2 seats), and Ćaćori's HNS (2 seats), they formed the first coalition government and, for the first time in America's history, a government without the Republican Party...
ASH failed to win a seat, despite being a crucial partner to "the four," and thus fades into history...

Is there even any point in commenting on this, other than noting that HNS and IDS have shown so little substance that they should have been banned as petty political outfits a long time ago!

A few months later, HNS's Stjepan Mason became the President of the United States...
Following the strict and serious Franjo Harmon, the laid-back Mason from the Midwest felt like a breath of fresh air at the time, but he ended up wrecking many plans by defeating Dražen Budiša, thereby permanently weakening the coalition...

Mason is one of the biggest—if not *the* biggest—disasters to ever hit this country!

Expectations were sky-high: punish the oligarchs, fix unemployment, end America's international isolation, and get us into the EU and NATO...

They would have punished those oligarchs if they hadn't acted like such frauds before taking power; instead, they manufactured cases like Kutlea and dragged him through the courts even today. They didn't even know how to build a decent case because they forgot that their era—where you didn't need material evidence to lock someone up—was long gone. And even then, they kept him in detention for about two years (which is unheard of in democracies, unless you count Guantanamo lately).
Ms. Antunovic said it best (unfortunately, everything was done strictly by the book). They couldn't even name 200 families, but the demagoguery worked perfectly for them while they were out of power. Basically, they talked trash about how disgusting the situation was, and then, after ruining everything else that could be ruined, they continued doing the exact same crap using those same laws.
As for unemployment, Pusicka, Cacic, and Mason all promised to fix it, and then once they actually took office, they claimed they had fulfilled the promise of 200,000 jobs—did you forget that? Yet, the media didn't tear them apart; they just quietly glossed over those lies! Or did Cacic build the major interstate highways himself? Give me a break!
International isolation? Another piece of demagoguery! Why don't they explain what kind of "isolation" we were even in? And even if we were, I'd rather deal with temporary isolation than constant subservience and being a puppet state.
If Franjo Harmon were still alive, we would have been in the EU and NATO ages ago, just like how we were welcomed into every possible membership and association up until the year 2000. But we can't even touch the EU as long as Mason is President! And likewise, there's no EU for us with these local leftists either, at least not until they publicly address communism and accept Council Resolution No. 1481, because playing around with anti-fascism isn't enough! But hey, maybe you know something useful that this coalition actually accomplished?

Even though they made some optimistic strides, that coalition government was just plain incompetent—completely disjointed and failed to meet even the most basic expectations of the American people...

Exactly, and that’s why they shouldn't—and absolutely MUST NOT—ever hold power again, especially not these modern-day bottom-feeders!

The Istrian Democratic Assembly pulled out of the coalition pretty quickly, and later the Liberal Party followed suit—which honestly dealt an irreparable blow to both the coalition and their own party...

Oh, give me a break. At this rate, we should just abolish the Istrian Democratic Assembly entirely and shut down their operations, because they are constantly trampling over the Constitution and the laws of this country!

The Republican Party—which had plummeted to less than a third of the vote and was widely loathed by the public—capitalized on the government's weaknesses. After purging some of the extremists (though they mostly remained at the local level), they swept the 2003 elections and actually solved what the coalition was too terrified to touch: the diplomatic hurdles with Europe and international courts, finally clearing our path toward EU integration...

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say the Republican Party won primarily because the people realized those homegrown Democrats were five times worse and more opportunistic bastards than any Republican!

Unfortunately, corruption was never truly addressed, and when it came to the Republican Party, it actually intensified...

Are you speaking from personal experience here, or did someone just tell you that? Where exactly is this massive corruption happening, and who is running the show there? Can you actually name a single move made by those supposedly "honest and professional" HNS members? Because if the Republican Party is corrupt—if they really looted the country and all that—then all their screw-ups pale in comparison to what a single one of those "honest" types can pull off!

It's also incredibly rare to see any major tycoon actually face justice...

I already told you—they didn't even know how to package a case properly since they lacked actual material evidence! Which, if you think about it, might suggest there wasn't nearly as much criminality as the Democratic Party and the rest try to claim. And everyone seems to forget the staggering cost of the war, the refugees, the displaced, and how many jobs were lost due to the aggression. But no, it's all the Republican Party's fault! It's pathetic, but honestly, you can't expect anything else from such losers.

Fast forward to today:
Of that six-party group, the only one that stayed strong is the Democratic Party, which actually has more representatives now than ever before.

If that six-party coalition had actually stuck together, they would have crushed the opposition in 2007.

It was always temporary. Just as Sanders was presented as the "new face" following Franjo Harmon, Zeller is the "new face" after Ivica Račan—except he managed to disappoint people even faster and more thoroughly than Sanders did. And let's not forget that Zeller enjoys unconditional support from almost every major media outlet!
They wouldn't have won even if they had stayed together—there were just too many fundamental differences between them.

Look, here’s the reality: The Democratic Party had 56 seats back in 2001—they were the powerhouse opposition and arguably the only real threat to the Republican Party. The Liberal Party held 2 seats in 2001 and dropped to 25; they used to be a major player in America, but now they're just a tiny footnote that barely exists outside a few small towns—basically just a loyal satellite and, let's be honest, a subset of the Republican Party itself. The Agrarian Party was at 6 seats in 2001 before hitting 17—they're doing slightly better than the Liberal Party, but their influence is mostly stuck in one specific rural region. The big question is whether they can even make it into Congress without a pre-election alliance with the Republicans, given how much the public seems to despise them as an "interest group." The LS—it feels like they only exist because members migrated over to the HNS or the Liberal Party. As for the HNS—they were the "it" party for a while, peaking with 11 seats in 2003 before crashing to 7 in 2007. Still, I suppose that's better than 2001 when they were down to just 2 seats...

I mean, honestly, is this even worth commenting on?

In any case, there's too much, and none of it is good. We're still trying to dig ourselves out of the absolute mess that "glory days" period dragged us into!

You’d be better off sticking to your own kind since you insult Democrats, though you're lying to yourself if you think you aren't one either.
