Mugabe: Serbia is Zimbabwe's only friend

"I'd have Mugabe as a friend over an alvanian any day of the week!

Best of luck mate!

I'd have Mugabe as a friend over an alvanian any day of the week!
(MikeC, 12 February 2014 14:15)

What is an 'alvanian'? And what does an 'alvanian' have to do with this news article?

I'd have Mugabe as a friend over an alvanian any day of the week!

wow how many anti-serb propagandist trolls in here. Shouldn't you guys be in syria alongside your islamic jihad al qaeda brothers? They need you over there!

HAHAHAHAHA Serbs and Crims. Besties for life.

Seriously I thought Robert Mugabe has a hatred against white people. I seem to recall that race played a role when in the late 1990s or early 2000s that Mugabe confiscated farmland or at least some type of land belonging to white Zimbabweans so that is why one wonders why would he consider Serbia which is a nation predomantly inhabited by white people to be his friends when it may still appear that Mugabe despises whites.
(resident of Fredericton,New Brunswick,Canada, 12 February 2014 12:31)


According to Wikipeadia, in 1979 Zimbabwean whites made up 5% of the population, and counting only 4500 farmers, owned 70% of the most fertile land.

President Mugabe doesn’t hate white people; he hates the injustice that Britain brought to his people and to Africa generally. The Whites took possession of the land by killing and expelling the original African land-owners.

LOL!

I think Serbia should move closer to Zimbabwe, after all they are the proof of what could happen if Serbia were to follow the economic advice of Michael Thomas and just start printing money to cover all the expenses of Serbia. How much was a loaf of bread before it collapsed? I believe it was several billion Zimbabwe dollars.

I think that's what you call a PR disaster.

Serbia is desperate to gain a friend. If you have to stoop so low that you need Mugabe is a buddy then what have you become. Serbia has no friends in the E.U so it has to seek friendship from famine stricken, diseased, corrupt Africa. I wonder what Serbia's trade agreement is with Mugabe.

We know, one of the main reasons your dictatorial self is still in power is that yugoslavia & then serbia supplied your regime the weapns it needed to hold onto power! Once the seeds of democracy take root in the middleast, it will be Africa's dictators which will have to find a spider-hole to hide in! Trust me Mugabe, you will suffer the same fate as S.Milosevic & S.Hussein, unless age takes its toll first?

Michael Thomas, 12 February 2014 13:12)
Exactly, if you live on an island and are self sufficient then you can print all the money you want and live happily. But the rest of the world must interact and the more money you print the more your currency is devalued. Now if you take large economies that can handle it is one thing but when you take small economies such as Serbia and Zimbabwe you are committing suicide. Simple facts you fail to understand.
When you have a several trillion dollar economy and you print a few billion dollars you devalue your currency a smidgen, if you have a few billion dollar economy and you flood with billions of your currency you collapse.

I love to still come here and see so many Serbian haters (mainly Albanians/Croatians) commenting on Serbian news' stories. It just goes to show how you cannot live without us. I would never waste my time going to read and continually post on Albanian and Croatian news forums because I don't depend on them. But for you haters no matter if you love us or hate us you still can't stay away from us because we're bigger and better than you :)

You're directly contributing to the economy of Serbia by all of your trolling whether you believe it or not it's a fact :)

Are we now scraping the barrel to have a friend like him? Serbia, consider very carefully...please!!!

Money printing isn’t my idea, it is the official policy of the American Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank of England, Bank of Japan, and the European Central Bank. Together these central banks have created tens of trillions of dollars, pounds, Yen and Euros since 2008 and have done so WITHOUT INFLATION.

The hyper-inflation in Zimbabwe, Yugoslavia and the Weimar Republic was caused byforeign speculators who attacked these countries using a financial fraud called Short Selling. If you want to know what Short Selling is, then you will need to do a little more reading and a lot more Thinking.

(Michael Thomas, 12 February 2014 13:12)

This can happen to countries with a weak currency which have huge deficit and need to import goods. Of course the exporters don't want to be payed in worthless Dinars, so the exchange rate rises and in the end, you have the hyper inflation (the vicious circle of price-salary increase) that destroys the savings of the ordinary people. But whom do I tell that, the Serbs of age > 25years know that well from their own experience.

"What is an 'alvanian'? And what does an 'alvanian' have to do with this news article?"

Ian, UK

You tell me? They must have something to do with it since a majority of alvanians are commenting the article! Just like every other news story that doesn't concern you alvs you still sick your big ears and noses in it.

With friends like that...

(MikeC, 12 February 2014 20:48)

So basically, you'll take any excuse to post a race related comment? How sad.

And I bet you'd be the first to complain, if someone wrote "I'd have Kim Jong-Un as a friend over a Serb any day of the week".

Seriously I thought Robert Mugabe has a hatred against white people. I seem to recall that race played a role when in the late 1990s or early 2000s that Mugabe confiscated farmland or at least some type of land belonging to white Zimbabweans so that is why one wonders why would he consider Serbia which is a nation predomantly inhabited by white people to be his friends when it may still appear that Mugabe despises whites.

Can someone tell Mr Mugabe that his tash died and became history in April 1945?

Begs the question: what is the Public Television of Serbia (RTS) doing in Zimbabwe? Wasting the tax payers money? They have nothing else to report on , huh? Very strange.

Now there is a little criticism from our little Albanians over Serbia being friendly with Zimbabwe. Now let’s look at the US history; shall we?
Saudi Arabia, a country that is so barbaric who would even go there. Then there is Thaci in Kosovo, a known criminal that was on a US list of leading a terror group and who has no compunction in killing. Then there are the Islamist groups the US is helping to arm in Syria who are murdering women and children because they are of another faith
Then there were all those South American regimes through the 1960s,70s and 1980s
And you guys have the hide to criticise Serbia.

By the way, alvanian, you share a similar juvenile sense of humour with the unemployed oik, Ian UK. Funny that.
(Michael Thomas, 13 February 2014 13:15)

Oi Mick, I have a better job than you.

And I don't have a "juvenile sense of humour", I just like laughing at stupidity. For example:

"The financial crisis in the EU and US has meant that their leaders cannot afford to attend the Sochi opening ceremony. I hope Presidents Asad and Yanukovich can make it to wave the flag for democracy and national sovereignty in the face of those who prefer invasion or coup d’état to get their way." - Michael Thomas, 3 February 2014 16:16

http://www.b92.net/eng/news/comments.php?nav_id=89199

That is comedy gold!

The best thing about that comment, is that you actually believe the rubbish you wrote HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

Thomas Jefferson believed in "commerce with all nations, alliance with none" Serbia understands what it is to be an international pariah and it understands that the people suffer the most when the country is hated. Yes Serbia should trade with Zimbabwe in every legal manner that can benefit everyone. Why not have good relations with everyone, including Zimbabwe? Mugabe will not live forever.

On one side there is Kosova with 106 nations supporting us with more to come and then there is Serbia and their most "powerful and influencial friend".........the undisputed global super power .......... Zimbabwe.

Serbia doesn't need EU..........US ........NATO ..............when they have the strong backing and support of this heavy weight nation :)

I am sure the next inter mixed generation of Serbian-Zimbabweians will RULE THE WORLD.

This is priceless. Haven't laughed like this in a long time. I hope Serbia and Mugabe always stay friends.

You guys have been doing that stuff forever as well as ridiculing any country which refuses to recognise you.
(Peggy, 14 February 2014 11:02)

"You guys"? Who are they?

I've done nothing of the sort. If you disagree, please prove me wrong using quotes. I live being PROVEN wrong.

Oh, and which country doesn't recognise me? Oh and for that matter, which country does recognise me?

That is what of your stupidest comments Peggy.

Hahaha MikeC stop hating the better race baby.

Also change your name back to Mikail Chetnik, you aint fooling anyone.

LOVE FROM SLOVENIA.

(Michael Thomas, 12 February 2014 13:20)

I'm pretty sure that despite the unequal distribution of land between White and Black people in Zimbabwe, the Black people would welcome with joy the wealth and stability Zimbabwe used to have back in the 1970s. Mugabe inherited a fertile and prosperous land. Now it is wasteland.

But as long as hey is Anti-Western it is ok, right? Yay...

Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Syria, ... all those failed states which are Serbia's "friends". Seriously, thank God we don't have those "friends".

Serbia would probably do well in not aligning itself too closely with a man who single-handedly turned his country from being Africa's bread basket into its basket case.

Money printing isn’t my idea, it is the official policy of the American Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank of England, Bank of Japan, and the European Central Bank.

Mikey,
Countries which have strong exports and econonimes can play that game. How strong are Serbian exports and her economy?

Its a bit ungrateful of him to regard China as his only friend. Its the Chinese who have saved his country from the brink of collapse.

(alvanian, 12 February 2014 17:14)

The “game” of money printing is already being played in Serbia. The privately-owned foreign banks are lending the Serbian government and industry “money” which they just create out of thin air. That is how banks work in Serbia and in the rest of the world. This money creating process is called fractional reserve lending. What I am saying is that the Serbian government should be doing this instead of them paying private banksters billions to do it on their behalf. This has nothing to do with strong exports.

By the way, alvanian, you share a similar juvenile sense of humour with the unemployed oik, Ian UK. Funny that.

================================
You guys have been doing that stuff forever as well as ridiculing any country which refuses to recognise you.

Zimbabwe shouldn’t put too much trust in Serbia’s NATO-stooges.

I don't see why Serbs should be friends with this maniac. Since he drove the European-descended farmers off their farms, agricultural produce plummeted to even lower levels than they ever were during the worst droughts during when the European farmers ran the country's agriculture.

Today, the country is a complete and utter disaster and truly the world's best candidate for a failed state. And what's worse is that he won't even allow free and fair elections, he just holds on to the country like an incurable cancer inside an almost-dead organism, yet he still hates and blames Europeans (of which Serbia is a part of) for the sorry state that Zimbabwe is in today.

Serbia should absolutely boycott this country until that cancer dies.

Where did I hear those words before? Hmm.. Let me think.

Why are you (some Croatians and most Kosovo Albanians) so interested in Serbia so that you have to comment day after day after day on everything in Serbia. You are free and non dependant on Serbia any longer, and way bother? I guess when you do not have a job, anywhere to go or do, because your economies are doing so great and life is so good in your lands, let's check on Serbia and kill some time.

(sally, 18 February 2014 04:42
My guess is that it is because instead of Serbia and Serbs moving on they are not happy unless they are meddling in the affairs of others. Basically if you cannot stand the heat get out of the kitchen. As long as you are throwing rocks at your neighbors they are going to be tossing them back!
