Serbia stay and join with Russia otherwise death !
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)


My dear boy, stay and join with Russia or not, Serbia is doomed.
btw, no sense hiding behind your new handle, your peculiar rhetoric immediately gives you away.

Yes, Putin will lead a 200 million man army !
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 30 September 2014 01:57)

Oh, OK, I think posters in these forums have to apologize for pointing out to you that 1+1=2 and not =3. Apparently you've made up your mind that 1+1=3 because you say so and repeating it will actually make it a reality :)

I totally agree with Reader.

And if i may add, every small and insignificant country has to pick a side, these "EUSSR" conspiracy theories are just rubbish. No one is forcing anyone to join the EU, if anything it`s the other way round. Countries like Serbia, Albania etc are begging to join because they know there are huge benefits to be reaped.

Looking at the serb mentality, the EU would just be perfect, becoming the next excuse for everything that goes wrong in Serbia :)

Long Live the Czar! Putin made the Russian people remember how they were once a great nation, he is truly the hope of a nation. In Russia latest opinion poll Putin's approval rating at a stratospheric 87%. The more pressure the international community applies, the stronger the anti Western sentiment will become and the higher Putin's ratings will climb. National pride abundant among Russians, Putin harnesses the deep seated belief of many Russians that they are misunderstood by Westerners. Russia will survive the Western frost by continuing to warm up to Asian nations. Russia is tilting steeply toward the East, especially to China and India and these nations are gladly tilting right back toward Russia. The West's so called international community condemning Russia but both New Delhi and Beijing strongly support Putin, Russia and China solidly allied. The restoring of Russia's power by Vladimir Putin. Kings of the East, the confederacy will have one lead country and one individual man at the helm. Yes, Putin will lead a 200 million man army ! The West is in it's final stages of moral decay. Serbia and Russia are one Slavic people, brothers in blood, religion and language. Serbia for centuries has suffered at the unmerciful hands of evil intruders. Serbia needs to make the correct decisions for a better and more positive future, like the evil ancient cities Sodom and Gamora , no looking back now. Stay strong Serbia, a new era is upon us

These are pre-accession funds. They are given to countries that are in a certain stage in the road to EU. They have always been there. The Serbian government always knew they would get them at some point. As knew the other countries. They are not loans. They are one of the carrots to keep those countries' governments on track. They must be used for structural reforms: improving rule of law, fighting corruption, improving infrastructure and so on. But nobody is going to check, for a casual example, who Vulin will give the contract for new computers for his ministry. They are all drooling for these funds in Serbia, Albania, Montenegro and Turkey. Except for our diaspora friends, who live in the "hated" West.

Has one of our famous Serbian embellishers changed their name or has a new one popped up?
With a population of less than 150 million even if Putin put every man woman, old man old woman teenager child and infant in a uniform and placed them on the battlefield he would not have a 200 million army. Even if he annexed enough former soviet countries and others to create a new Soviet empire with six hundred million people it is doubtful he could come up with a 200 million man army. And then if he were to give them a pittance of a salary of say 500 dollars a month the salary alone would be 100 billion a month not to mention clothing, food, medical costs, equipment, housing, training, etc, etc. Soon you are up to many trillion dollars a month.
Finally, any war between the major powers WILL turn nuclear, therefore numbers of troops will mean very little.
All I can say is if you think it is possible, bring it on.

This thought also puts the rest of your comment into perspective.

The bill to Serbia for causing the bombing campaign should be far greater than 1.5 billion. UNSC 1244 should have demanded payments to the destruction of infrastructure in Kosovo and payments to the people displaced and homes burnt as part of the rebuilding of Kosovo, before Serbia ever received one penny in foreign aid.

Serbia don't commit suicide by turning away from Russia and China. Vladimir Putin is for sure going to lead a 200 million man army, just look at the power he already has.
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)

Mate, were you high on drugs when you wrote the above and imagining Vlad riding a white horse at the head of an imaginary column of 200 million soldiers that he does not even have since the Russian population is ~144 million and has declined by the millions under Vlad's watch. As for his power, it is just confined to within Russia - it's hard to find a country that supported Russia's actions in Ukraine making it very clear that Russia hardly has any power in international affairs.
----------

Evil leaders in the West enjoy referring to the " international community " when they discuss the force that opposes Russia, but in reality such solidarity does not exist.
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)

Well, the UN General Assembly (which declared illegal what Russia did in Ukraine) is the voice of the "international community". Russia certainly is not the "international community".

Let us step back in time to 1999, Serbia must never forget the 78 days of severe and savage bombing that devistated the economy, infrastructure and most important human casualties.
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)

Well, with that logic France and Germany would still be at war today. Countries can choose to look at the future on how to improve the life of citizens or look at the past memories of lost battles and think about revenges and become like Palestine. It appears you want Serbia to become like Palestine.
----------

In Kosovo all ancient Eastern Orthodox churches, monasteries and graveyards destroyed, Serbian citizens killed and displaced.
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)

But the most patriotic of Serbs in these forums almost every other day describe how ancient churches, graveyards and bla, bla, bla are destroyed in Kosovo. If you are correct that ALL of them have been destroyed, then it means that the most patriotic of Serbs are lying because they can't be destroyed twice :)
----------

Now the evil enemy is giving Serbia blood money so that the Serbian people turn their back on Russia.
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)

Let us step back in time to 1999, Serbia must never forget how it pleaded Mr. Lavrov on June 10 of that year not to raise his hand to approve a resolution that, in Serbia's words, would dismember Serbia but Mr. Lavrov ignored Serbia's pleadings.

Nobody is asking Serbia to turn their back on anybody as a condition for the money. Only Russia asks Serbia for things like "selling" NIS for a fistful of Euros in exchange for Russia to just issue some statement of support for Serbia in regards to Kosovo - not even actions; just words.
----------

Serbia is in severe danger, surrounded on all sides by Islam and the Roman Empire. Don't imagine that history will not repeat it self, another holocast or lets call it a Serbian Eastern Orthodox ethnic cleansing will take place if Serbia fails to protect it self. The EU led by Germany is evil, will never benifit any of the Eastern Orthodox countries in the Balkans especially Serbia.
(Dragoljub Djurkovic, 27 September 2014 20:08)

It the evil EU and Germany were to want for Serbia to disappear from the map, that could have done it - not much that Serbia could have done to protect itself because Serbia, like the rest of the Balkan countries, is just too insignificant.

So it's about implementing an agenda which is likely not the best thing for Serbia.

They ought to start by compensating Serbia for the illegal bombing campaign of 1999 which pretty much destroyed all the infrastructure. That would be considerably more than 1.5 billion. Now that would show a gesture of goodwill anything less is just insulting and derisory.

And if i may add, every small and insignificant country has to pick a side, these "EUSSR" conspiracy theories are just rubbish. No one is forcing anyone to join the EU, if anything it`s the other way round. Countries like Serbia, Albania etc are begging to join because they know there are huge benefits to be reaped.

Looking at the serb mentality, the EU would just be perfect, becoming the next excuse for everything that goes wrong in Serbia :)

Oh, OK, I think posters in these forums have to apologize for pointing out to you that 1+1=2 and not =3. Apparently you've made up your mind that 1+1=3 because you say so and repeating it will actually make it a reality :)

My dear boy, stay and join with Russia or not, Serbia is doomed.
