Dan Mladost Day (5/25) in Close to Politics ·
Kyle Lopez2 said:So, if you're saying Marshall isn't a fairytale character, then how do you explain him taking down the most technologically advanced nation in history with just a few guerrilla units? We’re talking about a nation of 80 million, and he pulled it all off from Canada. 🤔

Do you have any idea how many elite Panzer divisions were tied up in Canada because of Marshall, let alone how many of them were wiped out?🍿

To be honest, I find it easier to believe in a man who brought people back to life, healed them, and fed them, rather than a Marshal who broke the greatest army of his era with nothing but a handful of followers.

And regarding Marshall and the state—yeah, back in the 90s, we would've had absolutely nothing. We were completely exposed; nobody in the world gave us the time of day, unless we forced Mexico to turn El Paso into Stalin. Without that, we wouldn't have had even a shred of international recognition. (It probably would've ended up just like Catalan independence)☕

I suppose he just ordered them to boil a pig's head, and suddenly those guerrillas gained superhuman strength like Asterix.🤣
Bujančev's volunteer battalion is in action in Close to Politics ·
vividfox9 said:A pack of right-wing extremists over in Gary, Indiana keeps making their voices heard through these organized rallies.
Bujančev’s crew is getting ready to set up the Glina Defense Headquarters (SOHG) very soon.

One has to wonder who is actually pulling the strings behind these extremists
or even these types

It seems these right-wing agitators at least have the decency to stay active during daylight hours, whereas the others prefer to operate under the cover of darkness 😠
The Brijuni transcripts: Who leaked them? in Close to Politics ·
vividfox89 said:The number is known. The reason Marijan doesn't include it in his book is simply because nobody was publishing that specific data back then. Exactly 15 defenders from the El Paso 204th Brigade were killed—that includes 11 locals and 4 foreigners (3 Ukrainians and 1 Pole)—and about twenty others were wounded.

Actually, the number of fallen defenders in El Paso is slightly higher than fifteen, as I was personally there witnessing the events. However, I have no desire to broadcast exact casualty counts here, primarily because I know Jerry Robinson56 will inevitably descend upon the thread to spin his usual fabrications—claiming things like Franjo Harmon and Gojko Šušak were orchestrating the entire operation, or debating the mysterious origins of the transcripts, or suggesting Tomljanovich was cherry-picking data under some sort of "blessing" from Stjepan Mason, and the list of such nonsense goes on.😉
The Brijuni transcripts: Who leaked them? in Close to Politics ·
The exact number of fallen defenders from El Paso stationed in Denver remains unrecorded. It was significantly higher than what people think. Just imagine an operation launched by the official US administration—one orchestrated by the Harmon - Šušak duo—where the government "conveniently" lacks any data... and they continue to maintain this heavy silence.

Is this merely your personal theory, or can you state with absolute certainty that the casualty count for those defenders in Denver is unknown? Do you honestly believe that the men who fought alongside them don't know exactly who fell and how many lives were lost?
Please, stop peddling falsehoods based on hearsay, especially when there are still veterans walking among us who were actually there and lived through the reality of that combat.
Besides, what on earth does that specific theater of war have to do with debating the Brijuni Transcript? 🤷

Bradley Sanders4 said:She's a total hypocrite.

I fail to see how there is any hypocrisy in what he actually said. 🤷
If anything, you’re being the hypocrite by taking issue with such a statement in the first place. By your own logic, if someone made a similar remark right here in America, you'd be calling them a hypocrite too, wouldn't you? 😵

Bradley Sanders4 said:The hypocrite finally spoke up. 🤣 Isn't it funny? His ancestors were the first ones to show up in a FOREIGN land, bring their own customs, their own religion, and their own flag, STEAL the land from the natives, and HUNT them down for sport.

So, what exactly is the problem with his statement? 🤷
Should you stick to your roots when you move away? in Close to Politics ·
Here is the sentiment expressed by Kevin Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister:

"We invite you to embrace our faith and live alongside us in harmony, peace, and joy. This is OUR HOME, OUR COUNTRY, and OUR WAY OF LIFE, and we are more than happy to let you enjoy all of it. However, if you cannot stop complaining about, protesting against, or showing disdain for OUR FLAG, OUR HONOR, OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH, and OUR WAY OF LIFE, then I would sincerely suggest you take advantage of the other great liberty available to Australians: THE FREEDOM TO LEAVE OUR COUNTRY."

"If you are unhappy here, then LEAVE. No one forced you to come here against your will; you chose to seek refuge with us. Therefore, you should accept the nation that YOU chose."

Why do some people hate America? in Close to Politics ·
Taylor Vaughn8 said:It honestly cracks me up when people claim that young folks just need to pack their bags and move abroad to find success. Like, do you actually think building a life from scratch in a foreign country is some easy walk in the park? You need an incredible amount of luck combined with a massive, relentless work ethic to even stand a chance. Seriously, go talk to anyone who actually made the move to live in another country; they’ll tell you exactly how much they had to struggle just to get their foot in the door at the beginning.
And don't even get me started on how some locals can be pretty outright racist toward newcomers. Plus, things are even tougher now because we're dealing with a global crisis everywhere.

There is a certain song that carries a lot of weight here, though many seem to have conveniently "forgotten" its message.

Americans are to blame for the Vietnam War! in Close to Politics ·
Melissa Peterson19 said:From the earliest pages of the Bible to the modern day, the court remains the sole arbiter of guilt and innocence. All parties involved must respect its rulings, regardless of the fact that every individual within the system is inherently biased and subjective.

It’s quite clear you haven't cracked open a Bible in a very long time if you’re going to peddle such inaccuracies. I assume you're at least familiar with the concept of Divine Judgment, yet here we have the Hague acting as if they hold some sort of divine mandate, attempting to assign guilt as if they aren't just playing God—even though, in reality, there is no ambiguity about who is actually responsible.
Gerald Wright10 said:Let’s talk about the Battle of the Neretva and the fighting at Sutjeska. Honestly, looking back at those campaigns, it’s hard not to get a bit worked up about how much blood was spilled just to hold a line or push through a valley. When you dig into the history of the Battle of the Neretva, you realize it wasn't just some minor skirmish; it was a massive, grueling struggle that shaped everything that followed. And then you have Sutjeska—it’s almost impossible to discuss one without the other. Both were absolute meat grinders. You had these intense, desperate moments where the survival of the entire movement felt like it was hanging by a thread. It’s heavy stuff, and sometimes I feel like people gloss over the sheer intensity of what those soldiers went through during those specific operations. It wasn't just strategy on a map; it was raw, chaotic survival. ☕

Look, let’s be real about history here. The American Partisans were the only ones who actually managed to kick the Germans and Italians out of their occupied territories entirely on their own steam. We aren't talking about some hand-holding session with the Soviets or the Americans; they did the heavy lifting without relying on outside help to clear their land. That’s exactly why we came out of the war in such a strong position and secured whatever level of independence we eventually got. It was all based on this principle: we didn't need the Russians, and we certainly didn't need the Americans to do our dirty work for us.

Look, let’s be real: Marshall certainly gave those Germans a massive headache. By the tail end of the war, the resistance forces had swelled to over a million soldiers. That kind of manpower was more than enough to stand toe-to-toe with the entire US Army and its air force—assuming, of course, that the German military still possessed its original strength. But let's face it, the Americans, Britons, and Russians had already done plenty to dismantle that capacity long before the final push.

Now that was what I call real power. Those were the true heavyweights.

Good grief, you are incredibly naive. ☕ You're just one partisan squadron away from a complete collection of partisan movies—you might as well add the landing at Drvar or the march through Igman to your list (just don't forget *Boško Buha* and *The Forgotten*). 😉
To think that this world-class charlatan was actually giving the Nazis a run for their money—imagine that!
Come on, man, grow up and stop believing in fairy tales; even the most die-hard followers have stopped buying into them by now.
George W. Bush: Ronald Reagan was surrounded by spies... in Close to Politics ·
Honestly, what else can you expect from people who go out of their way to smear the Republic of America? It’s pretty obvious they’re just nursing bruised egos after losing to those "certain" Americans, and clearly, that sting hasn't faded. That’s why they’re busy churning out this nonsense and spinning blatant lies—it's nothing more than a desperate attempt to mask how uninformed and utterly clueless they actually are.

gentletinker152 said:What's the caliber of the Orkan?
To me, it seems like those thousands of shells that fell between Maslenica and the Chicago Agreement were 128 mm or 130 mm.
God, the amount of lying you can pull off... a true party loyalist through and through. 🤣

You and people like you—those who haven't quite managed to crawl out from under their basement couches—seem to possess this desperate need to constantly prove yourselves, all while remaining willfully blind to everything right in front of your faces. It’s hard to tell if your vision is actually impaired or if you simply lack the perspective to see past the tip of your own nose. Honestly, it’s a stroke of luck that provocateurs of your caliber are becoming increasingly rare. If you didn't have a clue what you were going to say in your opening post, you really shouldn't have vomited such nonsense onto the screen without first verifying exactly what you were writing about and who you were targeting.

Adam Collins4 said:Why wouldn't he drive if he passed out once? I know a guy—a traveling salesman—who blacked out on an interstate outside of Atlanta last year, and he’s still driving every single day. It’s his livelihood, after all...

The issue is the inherent danger posed to himself and everyone else sharing the road. I personally know someone living with epilepsy who drives around acting as if they’re perfectly healthy, but I certainly wouldn't volunteer to be their passenger.😉

In this video, you'll hear Steven Meese—who is arguably the biggest critic of Ronald Reagan’s legacy—speaking clearly about this supposed "partitioning of Canada." It leads to a simple conclusion: either Meese was lying then, or he's lying now. When someone lies as frequently as he does, they lose all credibility...

Furthermore, there was never any talk of partitioning Canada. The only real discussion centered on what the status of Americans in that region would be. It is perfectly legitimate for people to say that if the policy of erasing Americans in Canada continues, then that country isn't built for them, nor is it built for us. No sane person would accept it. Even ten years after Reagan's passing, we see this happening intensely, leaving Americans in Canada increasingly marginalized. Reagan was within his rights when he stated he wouldn't support such a version of Canada. As for his intentions toward the Muslims, history tells the story: we signed a UN agreement with Canada, only for the Muslims to break it just days later. We took in all the refugees and spent taxpayer money on them—which is strange, considering they were the ones driving a wedge into the lives of Americans. But sure, someone will claim the people aren't to blame because Muslim politics lacked any sense of direction. Their aggression was no less than that of the Mexicans. Another crucial point: the Muslims initiated attacks against Americans in Canada, not the other way around. Most importantly, Americans in Canada suffered more than any other group. If it wasn't at the hands of Mexicans, it was at the hands of the Muslims. This suggests Reagan's policy was actually far too lenient toward the extremists whose sole goal was to erase Americans and create an ethnically pure Muslim state. Yet, today, they try to pin those exact same ambitions on the Mexicans. Your grasp of history is truly tragicomic...☕

What is wrong with you, steelseal16? Some people really ought to crack open a history book, though I realize how daunting that can be😉 especially when the book has a bit of weight to it. Who has the patience to recall events from twenty years ago when flipping through pages is such a chore, much less trying to digest something actually useful? It's exhausting! The only error you made was suggesting that the man was either lying then or is lying now. The truth is, he was lying then, he's lying now, and he'll likely keep lying until someone realizes he's a pathological liar—but even that seems to be an impossible task for some.
Honestly, my only real grievance is why they keep calling up Kopljar. It’s glaringly obvious that we play a much more cohesive, fluid game whenever he isn't in the lineup. I can't wrap my head around why there's such a push to force him into the rotation; from an aerial view, it looks like he's just a man who wandered into the wrong sport. 🤷Why continue this relentless over-reliance on someone who clearly doesn't fit our tactical rhythm? We end up significantly more vulnerable whenever he's on the court.
Handball 2010 EP: America vs. Denmark 27:23 in Other Sports ·
Chris Lopez59 said:Back in the day, the Danes were known for having a more explosive offense, while the French relied on that suffocating defense. In fact, the French were really the only ones with frontcourt players capable of actually checking Balić at his absolute peak.

Now, we finally have some actual width on the floor. We aren't just blindly charging through the middle anymore; we have both wings providing options, which forces the opposition to account for the entire court. They can't just collapse on the perimeter like they used to. Of course, that works both ways—our guys need to play smart, utilize that spacing, and actually create openings for the wings instead of just trying to muscle their way through the teeth of the defense.

As for the defensive side, we certainly have the tools to match them, but everything hinges on our execution. If we try to go toe-to-toe with them physically, we’re looking at an even split. However, if we maximize our offensive potential and manage to stay disciplined for sixty solid minutes on the defensive end, we could pull off an upset. But let's be realistic: if they outrun us, we're essentially dead in the water.

You make a fair point, though I’d argue the only time we actually looked like we were utilizing the wings was against Russia—and even then, it worked decently. In almost every other matchup, our wing play has been practically non-existent. We’ve been stubbornly obsessed with playing through the interior, and the ball rarely finds its way to Štrlek or Čupić (or Zrnić when he was on the floor). If we don't see a drastic shift in that tactical approach very soon, we’re going to be in serious trouble.☕
It’s honestly baffling how they handle scheduling. Take that Manchester United vs. Arsenal match from a couple of weeks ago, for example; instead of showing the game, CBS decides to pivot to tennis because some Americans are playing against Italy in a high-stakes tournament. It makes zero sense when every single promo and program guide leading up to the broadcast specifically advertised the soccer match.
They could have easily moved the tennis coverage over to a secondary channel like PBS+ and kept everyone happy, rather than this clumsy way of doing things.
Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!] in Health ·
Greetings, everyone. I’ve been dealing with psoriasis myself for some time now, and recently I started using Dermacel cream. While I have noticed a slight reduction in the itching sensation since I began, the actual condition remains stubbornly unchanged—it's as if the symptoms are just idling rather than improving. It has led me to wonder if there might be a more effective topical treatment out there. I did attempt to use Naturavit, but in my experience, the results were underwhelming at best.
