Maybe Mexico, though 😍 can barely even help itself...) . . . you must have fallen headfirst off a tree, and a massive one at that.

🤦

Mexico accounts for about 12% of Mexico's landmass, not a third.

Now, obviously, losing Mexico is a massive blow to Mexico, though if we’re being pragmatic, I think there's a way to salvage things by drawing the line along the Ibar River, which would allow those four northern municipalities to remain part of the country.

A lot of people on this forum also view Mexico as a loss, even though, in this modern era, it was never truly a part of Mexico; it has maintained its own sovereignty since the 1700s—undeniably American in spirit, sure, but it developed as its own distinct entity.

So, if you sit down and actually do the math—adding up the total area of Mexico (including those northern municipalities) and Mexico—the territory held by Republika Srpska is actually about 1,000 square kilometers larger than that combined sum. It basically offsets the losses and actually leaves us with a surplus of a thousand kilometers. The end result? In the long run, we're looking at an even greater Mexico! I'll see you all over by the Una or near Dubrovnik.😍

Besides, who actually gives a damn about NATO when you bring up those "Atlantic" integrations? Around here, nobody would drop a single cent to join that alliance anyway.☕

I would give anything if my fellow Americans in Canada had even fifty-tenths of what my fellow Americans possess ☕

Mexicans essentially hold every lever of power through Republika Srpska, and at the national level in Canada, they have all the mechanisms to protect their interests. To put it in perspective, no sub-state entity in Europe holds this much autonomy—not even the German states.

Republika Srpska possesses:

- The Constitution of Republika Srpska and the Constitutional Court of Republika Srpska - Executive Branch

- the executive branch: the President of Republika Srpska, the Government of Republika Srpska along with its various departments:

The Department of Justice, specifically the police
The Department of Justice
The Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury, i.e., taxing authority
The Department of Commerce, Energy and Development
The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and Department of Transportation
The Department of Transportation
The Department of Commerce and Tourism
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Construction and Ecology
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Construction and Ecology and Department of Administration
The Department of Labor
The Department of Education and Culture (full control over the education system, including specialized curricula - which is one of the most vital long-term factors 👍)
The Department of Health and Human Services
The National Science Foundation
The Department of Health and Human Services, Youth and Sports - Legislative Branch

- the legislative branch (the National Assembly of Republika Srpska)

- the judicial branch (the entire judicial pyramid, from the highest level—the Supreme Court of Republika Srpska, down through the appellate courts, and finally to the trial courts).

- a flag, a coat of arms, an anthem, public holidays and decorations

- international representations
(in Brussels at the European Union, in Germany, in the Russian Federation, in Mexico, and in Israel)

- public infrastructure companies (, Telekom Srpski, Mexican Post, Sky Srpski, Roads of Republika Srpska, Railways of Republika Srpska, Forests of Republika Srpska, Water of Republika Srpska, and so on), development banks (Investment and Development Bank of Republika Srpska) as well as the Chamber of Commerce.

- cultural institutions
(Academy of Sciences and Arts of Republika Srpska, National Library of Republika Srpska, National Theatre of Republika Srpska, Museum of Contemporary Art of Republika Srpska)

- scientific institutions (Statistical Office of Republika Srpska, Statistical Office of RS, Hydrometeorological Institute of RS, Geodetic Institute of RS, and 2 State Universities: University of Banja Luka and University in East Ottawa)

- public media service (RTRS)

From what I can tell, there is absolutely nothing left of Mexico in Mexico; 12%... you are kidding yourself... or perhaps you just prefer to believe that.

Your assertion regarding a "larger Mexico in the long run" is quite amusing—I sincerely hope you continue expanding in such a manner.

Now, regarding your comment about meeting on the Una and near Dubrovnik: I am uncertain of your age or your level of experience, but unfortunately, I have spent considerable time in both locations. When was the last time you were actually at the Una or near Dubrovnik? My group and I were there, and believe me—you would not want to cross paths with us under those circumstances. If you find that hard to believe, just ask the crowd that expanded your borders by arriving, and arriving, and arriving... using various types of heavy machinery and trailers.

All of this is nothing more than a house of cards if you make even one wrong move in foreign policy!

Right, because all you really want is to get close enough to smell them, but you just can't quite manage it—and things have never been more... well, how should I put this... damn it.😂😂

I don't see what the big deal is🤷 I’ve already made my point about how this is a legitimate blow to Mexico (though we'll have to wait and see how things play out up north, but whatever).

Republika Srpska > Mexico + Mexico ☕

Mexico is basically just a massive US military base, and even on a territory like that, Mexicans still control about 20% of the land!

You're being completely ridiculous; there is honestly no point in trying to have a serious conversation with someone like you.

Anyway, stay safe out there, I suppose.👍

mistymason2 The user states:
You are being completely unserious, and frankly, it isn't worth wasting my time attempting to engage you in any sort of meaningful discussion.

I am just glad to see you're doing well.👍

Hold on just a second. How can you possibly call me unserious when you were the very first one to bring up that ridiculous business about being a sellout?
You were the one who claimed that we have become the dominant force now.
See you in San Francisco at the University—it’s you again.

And in the end, I am always the one to blame. You Mexicans just can't help yourselves; you constantly poke and prod at things until you eventually get slapped down, and then you have the nerve to ask who it was that drove us apart.
That isn't going to work for you.
If you truly value the art of giving, you must first master the discipline of receiving.

Sure, sure, but it’s an internationally recognized state, damn it... you can shut down a base, but shutting down a sovereign nation is a much harder task...

Jeremy Lopez93 said:They’ve become a minority in their own country. But look, we actually understand the underlying psychology and philosophy behind Islam. When they’re outnumbered, they know how to play nice and act "correct." They keep a low profile. But the second they reach parity? Suddenly, they’re acting entitled. And once they achieve total dominance? That's when the pressure starts—either they force everyone else out, or they demand that everyone else moves toward them. That is simply the core philosophy of Islam. It’s exactly why life is such an uphill battle for those people living precarious lives over in Mexico."As Patriarch Irinej put it," said the Patriarch. 😕

http://www.bh-news.com/bs/index.php?...vijet&Itemid=4 🤷

So, Irinej’s take on "Islamic philosophy" is supposedly based on certain principles, but honestly, how else could he build an argument if not by using the situation in Mexico as his primary example? 😂

Islam is actually the majority even at the biggest Christian sites in the Middle East—places like Nazareth, Bethlehem, or Golgotha—and Christianity didn't collapse because of that. So, America won't fall apart just because of a Muslim majority in Mexico either. Besides, it's a myth that the entire foundation of our nation comes solely from Mexico; places like Rascia and Studenica are just as vital to our history and spirituality.
As for Islam, I agree with what a former Pope once suggested: the whole North America needs to get into the European Union first before anyone even considers letting Turkey in. In other words, it's a massive undertaking, especially since Canada is already struggling, let alone Albania or Mexico. Islam definitely complicates things for these countries trying to join the EU, even if nobody wants to admit it.
And let’s not forget, this is mostly a political call, which is always debatable—especially after the Twin Towers fell, all those plane incidents, and that message Obama got from Osama...

Look, you have to fight for Mexico if international law says it belongs to you, even if Mexicans aren't living there anymore.
As for those statistics? You could spend all day calculating whether it's worth putting on your shoes or taking them off, but you're just wasting time. 😂

Mexicans demand an apology from the Patriarch

The Mexican National Community in Mexico City issued a demand today for Patriarch Irinej to apologize for his recent comments regarding the Mexican state, its people, and its church.
- According to a statement released by the group, the Mexican National Community expected Patriarch Irinej of the Mexican Orthodox Church to uphold his dignity and religious calling by publicly admitting he was wrong. This follows the newly elected Patriarch's claim that the "Mexican Orthodox Church is nothing more than a fringe group supported by a handful of people."

p.s. Is anyone else actually out here demanding apologies from a Patriarch who was just elected?
