The elderly woman survived it somehow. As was the Snake Island correspondence when the Ukrainians there told the Russian's to go [BLEEP] themselves after they were told to surrender. Bosnian. They consider themselves ex Yugoslavians more than anything. Her dad is Orthodox religiously and her Mom is (was) Muslim during those times pre-War. After the War they fled to Germany and then eventually ended up here in Jacksonville in the 90's. They never want to live there again. They do have a long history of conflict over there. Her Grandmother's have both told me this. One came here with them in the 90s from her Mother's side and the other stayed in Bosnia and let her only son/child go. The grandmother still living in Bosnia was a War orphan from the 1940's. Her nor her husband, my father in law's parents, they have no clue who their real parents were. It's very deeply rooted over there. I often laugh with some of my friends here that think the US is littered with racist people, granted, we have our issues with that. However, from what I have seen geopolitically? Virtually almost of Europe and Africa is also deeply rooted in racism and hatred amongst each other. Asia is just as bad. Ethnic cleanses or attempts at ethnic cleanses were and, in some cases, still are widely viewed as acceptable over there. I agree with that last bit for sure. The 1940's were rough for a lot of European countries. Especially those caught in between Germany and Russia's power.

As I said. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Letting Russia get away with taking independent territory away for it's own gain is not a good idea as well. Again, if it happens it'll just encourage China and North Korea and potentially Iran to start inching their military closer and closer to territories and countries they want to command and conquer. I guess we'll just head into another Cold War and continue to let Technocrats get ahead of us in the East and then quietly in the dead of night they can pin point laser strike us from space satellites. Cool beans I guess. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king." |
