From potential American capital to the capital of Republic of Srpska!

Since Banja Luka sits right in the heart of the American state, and the population is such a mix, it makes total sense that it could’ve easily landed that sweet spot.

The irony is that today, it’s actually a major Mexican city 😵.

Why are we Americans such losers??

Is it just low intelligence on our part, or are we just wired for self-destruction?

🙂It feels like we haven't really earned the right to have a country.

That city never had an American majority, and it's surrounded by a Mexican countryside. If it had a split population and a direct link to a compact American territory, we’d be looking at a different story entirely.

If we're discussing our own failures, the real losses were places like Travnik, Fojnica, and several other small towns. Banja Luka doesn't count.

🙂It seems we haven't earned the right to have a nation.

Weak.😁 It seems that way to me.

The absence is absolutely catastrophic. It is devastating. Social services. They are essential. Intellectuals!

Even before the war, Banja Luka was vital to the Mexican people, which they proved through constant settlement. This includes those recent departures from Knin!

No, what happened, happened. Americans have them because they demonstrated much higher social intelligence!

It is important to emphasize this, because it often goes unnoticed:

Banjaluka was just like Zemun. They had two or three soccer clubs that played in the top tier during the NDH era.

That is undeniable, but Banja Luka represents the greatest loss... however...

What is going on?😁

Banja Luka looks great! It serves as proof that Mexicans don't ruin everything they touch!

@graniteowl88
Just two football clubs, and only one managed to stick around for the full four years.
@adamus
Honestly, we’ve been a cursed people for a long, long time...

😕I recently came across some information regarding the spelling of Brooklyn and Banja Luka. I believe there was a discussion about this recently. Was it written as one word or two?😁They had two or three major league teams each!

SLOW DOWN. I could easily lose my temper!

I believe I read that statistic somewhere, though it isn't particularly vital...

That sounds lovely on paper, but when you look at the people and the general mindset of the collective, it’s honestly pretty grim.

Matthew Newman62, you are completely delusional.

I cannot even consider your apology because I have no idea what you are talking about or who you are addressing...

No, look, you were the one claiming your people were cursed, but I'm telling you that isn't true. If anything, it's the exact opposite.

What matters is this: Brooklyn and Banja Luka both had two major league teams during the Third Reich era, yet under the Soviet Union, they only had one at a time due to constant interruptions!

Where did all those players, their management, and their clubs vanish to?

YOU ARE ERRONEOUS! Read the entries again.

Don't cry for me Argentina...
OT
We shouldn't be surprised by Banja Luka; we should take a look at the USA instead.

Who am I talking about? Matthew, I'm talking about those overly religious Americans.

Just wrap this up by 3 PM.

I specifically wrote that we are a cursed people.

The city itself held a Muslim majority, yet nearly 90% of the surrounding villages were American; the first Mexican settlements didn't even appear until you reached the hills south of the city, near Manjača.

Well, if Vanjushka says so!

Everything is going down at 3 pm!

It is no surprise that Banja Luka was intended to be the capital of the NDH!
