Croatia told to "eat humble pie, be quiet about minorities"

There is truth to what he says but I wish Serbian and Croatian politicians would try to fix the issues in their own countries instead of constantly whining about what everyone else is doing wring.

If by "kicked your ass" you mean "delayed by a few weeks to a month", then yes, Croatia succeeded, though it requires a severe reduction in expectations to understand what passes for "kicking ass" in Croatia these days. After all, this is a country that equates ethnic cleansing with defending the national interest, so there's very, and I mean VERY little, that goes by way of Croatia's strength and versatility these days, being the EU's poorest and most undeveloped country of all its 28 members.

Croatia had the assistance of 22 NATO countries and the US and other air forces and ground forces. Croatia of itself got its ass kicked as I recall before the west came to save your ass. Croatia is nothing on its own and that is the truth of the matter. It was the same when Adolf and Nazi Germany were in power. At the start of the Yugoslav wars you lot were running as I recall and only when NATO particularly the USA started fighting and bombing Serb Civilians did things change. You Croats are a bunch of cowards who go after old people women and kids, you did that in WWII as well.

If another war started between Croatia and Serbia without any outside interference I know who I'd put my money on and it wouldn't be on Croatia and its Ustasa cowards. You are another idiot who conveniently misses out the NATO element. If NATO had not intervened there would be no croatia period.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

"I find it hard to believe that 27 (EU member) states cannot tell one that it's impossible for 27 states to be on one side, and only one on the other, and that precisely that one is in the right, and that this is respected so much," said Nikolic."

Well, that is same as Serbia which defies the wishes of 28 EU member states about the sanctions on Russia. Is Nikolic saying that Serbia is wrong and should instead do what the 28 EU members say?!

Mate, Croatia has no intention to start any war just to prove who is more macho.

But if a war starts, the party that is smarter and ensures more allies is going to win it. Serbia is, of course, free not to pursue any alliances and make proving Serbia's machoism the objective of the war. I agree with you that the medal for machoism would go to Serbia in that case! Hopefully that makes you happy because we want happy contributors on this forum :)

Well icj1 even you have excelled yourself with that rather crass analogy in an attempt to justify Croatia's xenophobic stance.It may have escaped your attention but Serbia isn't,and hopefully will never be,a member of the EU.Hence an independent foreign policy.

I did not say that Croatia is right or wrong so I'm not sure where did you read that I justified any Croatia's stance, whether xenophobic or not. The point is that Nikolic's comment that a country should do something just because other 27 countries say so is idiotic.

But if Serbia becomes an EU member, Nikolic's logic means that Serbia must support sanctions against Russia if that's what the rest of the EU members wish and Serbia's wishes are irrelevant! Again, that illustrates how idiotic Nikolic's comment is.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion MATE, but if you read my post you would see I actually said that "IF" a war broke out between Serbia and Croatia "WITHOUT" any outside interference I know who I'd put my money on and it "WOULDN'T" be Croatia MATE.

Of course and I agreed with you when I wrote that the medal for machoism would certainly go to Serbia. You should be very proud and happy about that since it looks like that is all that Serbia cares about, whereas others care about actually winning the war, including through alliances if necessary.
