    Ah, the old merge and commit genocide.

    Seen this before, we don't need a sequel.

    Are we talking fast-forward or squash merges?

    As an older Millennial, I keep thinking Yugoslavia still exists. And the US 9/11 attacks happened last year.

    I wonder how many lemmings understand this is a Beach Boys reference.

    Do they still get a lot of radio play in the USA?

    I think it's safe to say that anyone in the USA who still listens to the radio knows the Beach Boys.

    Meanwhile I'm here thinking it would be nice if the whole world was made up of countries of that size with a global alliance that will fuck up any country that starts getting all imperialistic.

    Dear Mr. President,

    There are too many Balkan countries. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.

    I'm sure they had no idea what they were doing when they randomly circled the Balkans and presupposed that there was no problem with their proposal.

    To be honest, things went wrong because the person who knew how to keep the piece died, so... nationalists rose to power (they didn't rebrand communism though, so most got onboard the loony train thinking this is about communism and who is against it), and that was about all that was needed in a powder keg like the Balkans... a lot of war time profiteering as well, some people got very rich during those days... blood money, sure, but it didn't seem to bother them. Some of them are still in power, or their children.

    Bottom line, none of them are communists, period. They're thieves and killers.

    I am a bit bothered by how the modern borders of Croatia seem like they are designed just to prevent Bosnia and Hercegovina from having a coast. I get that you can have a thin country, but they are really pushing it. Give them one beach!

    Capitalism thrives on divide and conquer especially socialist states. Same playbook as forever.

    They're not entirely wrong... Quite a bit of the division comes from pre-modern events and decisions.

    How did Tito keep the peace? He wasn't magical. You would think he successors could have done the same.
