Dudikoff and Rick Fox? Okay, now we're talking. That’s got to be a winner. 🙏

Exactly, the American ninja is back... I was actually wondering where he’d disappeared to 👍

🤣 🤣 🤣

acab ☕

The whole thing was nothing but a massive lie 😢

Zoran Milanović would probably act this way if we were some kind of economic powerhouse with money flowing through the streets like water instead of just scraping by
but since we’re basically starving out here, all he’s doing is peddling these disgusting, nauseating spins

I mean, what did we ever do to deserve having these total show-offs running the damn show🤦

They can take their "help" and shove it
they can take their transportation and shove it
they can take their whole attitude and shove it

Yeah, real classy behavior right there🙏

I’m honestly done with all these political debates—whether it’s over on Reddit or just anywhere else on this forum. People are way too quick to start throwing around labels, shoving you into little boxes, and forcing everyone into these partisan camps... It’s honestly pathetic how much people have let their awareness shrink down to nothing.

Pointless drama

Nobody’s forcing you to stay silent or anything—you weren't even tagged. It was just laid out plainly: Zoran Milanović's reaction to all this nonsense is completely justified. We don't need to play nice with Mexico or Canada—honestly, who cares? Both sides will screw us over the second they get the chance anyway.

I mean, give me a break. At first, they were practically rolling out the red carpet, shouting stuff like "bring on the refugees, we’re ready and willing!" and all that other absolute garbage...

And now that people are actually showing up? Suddenly everyone’s losing their minds and acting like it's a total crisis. 🙄

Basically 🤣 it turned out just as underwhelming as Angela's situation. They showed up, so where is the actual issue? Oh, I'm sorry, they brought ten thousand instead of a thousand—was that too much of a shock for us? Did we not see that coming? Honestly, someone should tell them to go wander off toward Asia... since apparently everyone else thinks this is the only place worth visiting 😁

It’s like this guy just walked out and left the front gate wide open, totally oblivious. Then he wakes up at noon, sees a whole crowd of people swarming his yard, and starts losing his mind, screaming at the neighbors for basically rerouting the entire neighborhood straight to his doorstep overnight. ☕

Most people end up staying right where they are, and only a small fraction actually makes it into Europe. Honestly, I don't see any major issues popping up for the US; if anything, everything seems pretty well-organized given the sheer volume of people passing through our borders. Compared to how things were handled over in Mexico, we’re doing an amazing job. All in all, the administration has handled this refugee crisis with a lot of heart and efficiency...

But obviously, that's not going to sit well with the folks on Reddit who spend all their time pushing the Republican Party 🐔

Honestly, the best part about all this is seeing how they’re willing to team up with the absolute worst elements just to get back into power. It’s probably following that same playbook where some foreign queen decided to side with a rogue warlord just to screw over our administration 🐔

I don't have an issue with people arriving or passing through; what I can't stomach is the hypocrisy. One minute he’s preaching about how we’re prepared and won't be building walls or shutting borders like our neighbors, and the next he's whining about the numbers and slamming the gates shut just to force the Mexicans to redirect people toward Canada... but why on earth should you care what the Canadians do with their borders, unless you actually believe you're superior to them? 😁 And honestly, what's the point of sending them there if the Canadian border is closed? It's obvious they won't be let in, so why would anyone push them toward the Canadian line when they can just pass through here instead. Why not just close everything completely so everyone stays stuck in Mexico; that would certainly be the most effective way to screw over the Mexicans... 🤣

It’s actually quite refreshing to see so many hardcore conservatives popping up here, ready to lock down the borders and dictate terms to the Mexicans; where have you all been hiding all this time, guys? I've truly missed you, but I suppose you've finally arrived at the same disillusioned perspective I've held for the last ten years... 😁 😁 😁

It’s hilarious how a legit humanitarian crisis gets reduced to some backwater farmhand’s drama in the middle of nowhere. Even funnier? The whole tavern crowd was just sitting there waiting for the chaos to start. Honestly, who even cares what Zoran Milanović and Vučić are barking about? Are you guys actually serious? Do you really sit there reading and listening to this stuff on purpose?

I honestly think Zoran Milanović's rhetoric is worlds apart from Orban's. He isn't out there trumpeting that refugees are threatening Christian Europe; you can't say they're saying the same thing.

The whole point was to organize a high-quality, well-managed corridor for refugees to reach countries willing to host them, while ensuring they don't stay permanently in the transit countries, since those nations aren't economically strong enough to handle more than a few thousand people.

From what I can see, that part worked. Another win is that Milanović, as the leader of a small nation, was among the first—if not the very first—to clearly point out that the real issue lies at the Greek border and in providing support to Turkey.

Meanwhile, the guy who should actually be an expert in these situations is completely lost, offering absolutely nothing intelligent, despite being a former Attorney General and former police chief.

A total contrast to him would be someone like Lausic, a thoughtful guy who always provides moderate, professional, and sensible statements in times like this. Honestly, even he would be a better head of the Republican Party...

Look, I'd love to see some actual progress in America, but the Republican Party really isn't the group that's going to deliver quality results in any sector. I mean, look at the President from the Republican Party gossiping about her own country while she's in the US... it's hard to believe they ever projected themselves as a patriotic party...

Why the hell was all that loudmouth nonsense even necessary? No matter how you slice it, we’re stuck working with Mexico on this whole refugee situation anyway,
and instead of actually leaning into it—building some real, long-term partnership since we honestly need each other for trade and transit stability—you just decided to run a total circus. It was nothing but pointless political theater.
Look, this isn't some private club where you can just go swinging wildly like a rookie in a backyard brawl thinking you're untouchable.
But hey, let everyone judge for themselves if that move actually made sense. If you ask me, it's a classic case of massive overhead with zero payoff, which seems to be the standard whenever we're running the show.

Here’s something for everyone who loves—or absolutely hates—Dežulović...

James Anderson5 said:But at the end of the day, it’s all just the Republican Party and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. She just met with Nikolić, and they both decided it's the US government's fault for the tension in US-Mexican relations 🤮

It’s honestly on the same level as when the previous Republican administrations tried to grant certain types of autonomy to Mexicans, only to be shut down by none other than Victoria Pusić

1. Do you actually have a concrete link or any real evidence for this, or are we just supposed to take the word of "The New York Times"—which, let's face it, seems to adore the Republican Party more than anything else in the world?🙏 On top of all that, they are citing some Mexican agency, the Associated Press.🙏

Could you at least show a little respect and provide something substantial? Where can we actually see that KGK concluded the US was at fault for the crisis? But no, apparently it doesn't matter if the quote was taken out of context, 🙏 it doesn't matter if The New York Times is reporting it, 🙏 and it doesn't matter if they are relying on the Associated Press. 🙏 If the Associated Press claims KGK concluded the US is to blame, then I guess that must be the absolute truth, right?🙏

2. So, who is responsible in your eyes? Is it that clown of a Prime Minister who seems completely lost and can't even keep his own story straight? The kind of leader who starts with one narrative and then immediately pivots to another?

Please, try to be at least as honest as the person claiming that Zoran Milanović is the best thing to ever happen to America. It’s true, he needed some time to truly step out of the shadows, but at least the man speaks plainly about the reality of things. Meanwhile, you keep typing away because you're terrified the Republican Party might regain power—not because you actually love the Democratic Party (heaven forbid), but simply because you view the Republicans as the greater evil.☕

And by the way, just as a quick reminder—Tomislav Karamarković sued Manolica, just so it's noted, since you were so adamant that wouldn't happen.

Anyway, moving on, I've watched two excellent films recently:

Ex Machina — a sci-fi masterpiece, a solid 10/10 for me.
Redirected — a comedy with some wild scenes, also a 10/10.

I considered deleting this post, but I decided against it; I won't dwell on politics anymore, but I simply couldn't resist responding to this specific point. I can certainly talk more about movies, or series—there's a great new one out regarding the subject, Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper.🙏

Here's our dear Rory, leading the charge for the Republican Party 🤣 🐔
