If you actually believe in this BS then you will believe in the tooth fairy. Try not using western propaganda and come up with something original next time because these arguments are very lame. The US pays for the so called Kosovo institutions.
With 97% unemployed (Amnesty International figure not mine) you can’t “elect” jobs out of thin air. I await you reply with great anticipation..

Of course I believe that stuff. I just called my cousins today to confirm this. Indeed there are no Serb tanks, military, airplanes, etc. You can confirm this too if you want. You're just one phone call away.

As for the US paying for institutions, how is that different from Serbia. They just paid a quarter billion euros about two weeks ago? It stinks for you as a Serb but the US is keeping you alive. The US is feeding your masses. The US is paying your institutions.

-- No Serb tanks, airplanes, army, are present. We elect our own people. We vote for our own constitution, rather than have others vote for a constitution that others have passed against our will. These are just a few things. Others include having our institutions, our people in the institutions etc. These are just few of the things. Since 1999 we have been progressing upwards.

Be glad to. You see, it's all window dressing. Good advertising will get you far. Hollywood is a great weapon and too many people fall for it.
Watching American shows will dumb you down and make you think that America is that good. Unfortunately too many people from Eastern Europe think what they see in shows is reality. They don't realise that unless you apply yourself and get a decent education you are not going to be better off in America. Homelesness and poverty are a sobering reality once they get there. If only they invested so much effort in making their lives better in their own country.

Kosovo (south western Serbia) was under Turkish occupation for 500 years. It wasn't politically IN Serbia but it WAS Serbia. Kosovo WILL ALWAYS be Serbia as long as the Serbian people still identify with it. If Kosovo was to be Albanian territory for the next 500 years, it WILL STILL BE SERBIA. Political 'realities on the ground' and international recognitions are IRRELEVENT. No matter who rules Kosovo, no matter who lives there, no matter what law is in effect - Kosovo Is Serbia.
No matter what name, no matter how many wonderful buildings the Serbians may have built on the land that has always been inhabited by the Albanians since before the arrival of the Serbians
THE LAND WILL ALWAYS BE ALBANIAN

It wasn't politically IN Serbia but it WAS Serbia. Kosovo WILL ALWAYS be Serbia as long as the Serbian people still identify with it.
During the last 2000 years Romans, Byzantines, Bulgariansand Turks ruled Kosovo for longer periods than the Serbs did. There were also ccupations by Austrians, Italians and Germans
Kosovo became "Serbia" relativly late and was Serbian for a relatively short time. Serbs may identify themselves with Kosovo as much as hey want, but few others identify them with it.

"The developing nations are populations in some cases a billion plus, not millions. If you have been following the world economic news, these developing nations are advancing, and quite quickly, while the old, developed nations are in decline. Look at who owns America's debt - it's China. Look at who is enjoying GDP growth in double digits, while the US and EU struggle with underperforming single digit growth."(IUPM, 12 October 2010 20:58)

Ever thought why it is like that? If you are on a very low level, you can easily grow fast. Once you are saturated, the growth is slowing down. Only natural. The question is: How many years (or better: decades) will the developing nations need until they'll reach the typical standards of the average (western) countries?

no, you dont get aboslve serbs of their responsiblities.

whatever slobo's motives, the ONLY thing serbs were ever upset with him for was FAILING to deliver what he promised. And that he never went far enough.

there is no "absolution" to be found criticizing him after the fact. He catered to serbs desires in exchange for the power serbs alone handed over to him.

those in balkans were calling him a maniac and a dictator WHILE serbs were still cheering him.

serbs under slobo's fakeslavia were not victims by any stretch of the imagination, they were perpetrators.

Milosevic was first and foremost a gangster, ruling over Serbia for his own personal power and wealth, and all the loyal foot soldiers around him. He was by no means a nationalist, or patriot. He cared little for the welfare of the Serbian nation, as history proved.
(IUPM, 12 October 2010 16:26)

Agreed, but he was elected by the Serbian people to be the president of Serbia, so the Serbian people should face the consequences of the choice they made. For analogy, Americans hated Bush at the end of his presidency, but it was them who voted him in office (not once, but twice) so they must suffer the consequences of the Bush's legacy because it was their choice.


As for disliking the US, I think the Serbs have some just cause there. America imposed its will on the Serbian nation, tore it apart, killed its people, and destroyed its country. It did it with military might, because their attempts at diplomacy were an abysmal failure.
(IUPM, 12 October 2010 16:26)

Diplomacy can’t succeed without the use of force or the threat of the use of force, especially when you have to do with gangsters; it’s been tried and tried again and always failed. A well known military theorist, Clausewitz, wrote the famous sentence that “war is a continuation of diplomacy using other means”. Europe tried to solve the issue with diplomacy and Milosevic just played with it for years with endless talks because he knew that Europe was incapable of using force to stop a gangster. His miscalculation was that he thought that US was like Europe.


“All they knew to do was pressure, and force - in the end when Milosevic did succumb to them, they bombed the Serbian citizens. Do Serbs, and me personally dislike America, and frau Clinton, you bet. We have reason to.
(IUPM, 12 October 2010 16:26)

Of course you have reason to, but it’s for your own fault. If I break the law and a police officer arrests me, of course I’ll dislike that police officer, but I can’t blame him; it was me who broke the law.

I am amassed with the self-satisfaction my Serbian fellas have.
everyday i come and read comments here i ask myself. is this the reality, am i living in a different world?

wake up fellas, wake up,
you have great people there, try to see the reality for once, every day that dawns you are one step away from kosovo and from civilization.
what happened today in the football match?

you burned Albanian flag, you hate hillary clinton for the bombing, then you go back and hate mother russia for letting you down.

cant you see that sometimes it is your fault, yes your fault.
and the ditch that you made for kosovo Albanians, you yourself fell in to it.

This woman urged her then president hubbie Bill Clinton to bomb Serbia and Kosovo.
She has not come to impose things, they say. Sure. She has come to tell to comply or to die. Roll over and give paw.
(Joe A, 12 October 2010 11:26)

Another deluded American who thinks this is the 1990s. Can we get someone from the US that actually lives in 2010 or is this a condition that all trailer living Americans suffer from?

The US is a near extinguished power that now runs around this planet telling anyone and everyone that they are really important, but it’s quite clear that there is nothing left in the proverbial “gas tank”.

Hilary Clinton is a ruthless and merciless individual – much like the shark in the ocean. She wanted to bomb Serbia to distract the US from Bill’s antics with Monica and nothing else. She neither likes nor dislikes Serbs or Albos – it was business. She did this for US advantage not to set the Albos “free’.

She is in Belgrade not because she wants to be there but has to resolve this Kosovo mess in the hope that the US would not throw more money down the drain, especially now with the financial crunch time on the horizon for the US. Look at all the US blustering over the Iranian Precedential visit to Lebanon and Israel making threats if he visits – well he is there right now and if this does not tell you the situation then go in believing in fairytales.

She has to make a deal with a small country – does that sound like the same superpower of the 1990s to you???????

This is what the authorities in the US want their people and others in the west to believe. No the world will not go into a depression because action has already been taken to mitigate any fallout if he US goes belly up. For your information the US went into a depression in 2006, but they like to talk of a deep recession, ha, ha.

Here is another one for you – it was just announced that US Bankers have given themselves a huge pay rise and the US government will do nothing about it. Tells you a lot about who runs what over there and that the financial world does not give to hoots about the US economy just as long as they are making money while the people pick up the tab.

Bilbao, you are making ignorant, pro-American statements. Yes, overall, the standard of living is much greater in the US, which has enjoyed a century plus of economic development and prosperity, than in the developing nations of Asia, South and Central Asia, South America, and so on. The developing nations are populations in some cases a billion plus, not millions. If you have been following the world economic news, these developing nations are advancing, and quite quickly, while the old, developed nations are in decline. Look at who owns America's debt - it's China. Look at who is enjoying GDP growth in double digits, while the US and EU struggle with underperforming single digit growth. I understand your defense of the US/EU, because an Albanian Kosovo would not be in existence now, and the land-grab could not have happened, but please, do not insult anyones intelligence here, by saying that because of overall living conditions in developing nations, makes the West more powerful. You are living on hope, pal/lady. Empires come, and they go, that has been the way in history. Who would have ever thought that the Roman empire would ever end, but it did, and so will America (North). Kosovo is Serbia, their roots are there, it will be in Serbia's hands again. We will be patient, but we will have control over our land again, regardless of how many Albanians move there.

Blendi, your Albanian Kosovo dream state, land-grad of Serbian territory was made possible by her and her hillbilly husband. He was being impeached in the US, for lying, perjury, and just behaving as an outright scumbag, defiling the American presidency, when he took the attention off of himself, and bombed Serbia to save his position. It was the biggest, most well-orchestrated political scheme to save the NATO, and himself. Go to YouTube and type in "It started with a lie", a German documentary of all things, and you will get an idea of what the Clintons and their accomplices did. I have nothing but contempt for the Clintons, an arrogant, self-serving duo of power hungry politicians, that will do anything to promote themselves. Would any normal woman stay with a husband that was receiving oral sex under her nose - and in the people's House, the White House? This tells you something about the Clintons. And by the way, there is no brotherhood between the US and Albanians, that is something you Albos adopted, not American citizens. Most Americans could not find Europe on the map, more or less Kosovo. But keep dreaming, until the day you are dumped by America like a smelly skunk, just like they have done to numerous so-called allies in their glorious, and exploitive history.

No the world will not go into a depression because action has already been taken to mitigate any fallout if he US goes belly up. For your information the US went into a depression in 2006, but they like to talk of a deep recession, ha, ha.

Here is another one for you – it was just announced that US Bankers have given themselves a huge pay rise and the US government will do nothing about it.

Kosovo (south western Serbia) was under Turkish occupation for 500 years. It wasn't politically IN Serbia but it WAS Serbia. Kosovo WILL ALWAYS be Serbia as long as the Serbian people still identify with it. If Kosovo was to be Albanian territory for the next 500 years, it WILL STILL BE SERBIA. Political 'realities on the ground' and international recognitions are IRRELEVENT. No matter who rules Kosovo, no matter who lives there, no matter what law is in effect - Kosovo Is Serbia.

During the last 2000 years Romans, Byzantines, Bulgariansand Turks ruled Kosovo for longer periods than the Serbs did. There were also ccupations by Austrians, Italians and Germans
Kosovo became "Serbia" relativly late and was Serbian for a relatively short time. Serbs may identify themselves with Kosovo as much as hey want, but few others identify them with it.

Milosevic was first and foremost a gangster, ruling over Serbia for his own personal power and wealth, and all the loyal foot soldiers around him. He was by no means a nationalist, or patriot. He cared little for the welfare of the Serbian nation, as history proved.
(IUPM, 12 October 2010 16:26)

Agreed, but he was elected by the Serbian people to be the president of Serbia, so the Serbian people should face the consequences of the choice they made. For analogy, Americans hated Bush at the end of his presidency, but it was them who voted him in office (not once, but twice) so they must suffer the consequences of the Bush's legacy because it was their choice.


As for disliking the US, I think the Serbs have some just cause there. America imposed its will on the Serbian nation, tore it apart, killed its people, and destroyed its country. It did it with military might, because their attempts at diplomacy were an abysmal failure.
(IUPM, 12 October 2010 16:26)

Diplomacy can’t succeed without the use of force or the threat of the use of force, especially when you have to do with gangsters; it’s been tried and tried again and always failed. A well known military theorist, Clausewitz, wrote the famous sentence that “war is a continuation of diplomacy using other means”. Europe tried to solve the issue with diplomacy and Milosevic just played with it for years with endless talks because he knew that Europe was incapable of using force to stop a gangster. His miscalculation was that he thought that US was like Europe.


“All they knew to do was pressure, and force - in the end when Milosevic did succumb to them, they bombed the Serbian citizens. Do Serbs, and me personally dislike America, and frau Clinton, you bet. We have reason to.
(IUPM, 12 October 2010 16:26)

Ever thought why it is like that? If you are on a very low level, you can easily grow fast. Once you are saturated, the growth is slowing down. Only natural.

Blendi, your Albanian Kosovo dream state, land-grad of Serbian territory was made possible by her and her hillbilly husband. He was being impeached in the US, for lying, perjury, and just behaving as an outright scumbag, defiling the American presidency, when he took the attention off of himself, and bombed Serbia to save his position. It was the biggest, most well-orchestrated political scheme to save the NATO, and himself. Go to YouTube and type in "It started with a lie", a German documentary of all things, and you will get an idea of what the Clintons and their accomplices did. I have nothing but contempt for the Clintons, an arrogant, self-serving duo of power hungry politicians, that will do anything to promote themselves. Would any normal woman stay with a husband that was receiving oral sex under her nose - and in the people's House, the White House? This tells you something about the Clintons. And by the way, there is no brotherhood between the US and Albanians, that is something you Albos adopted, not American citizens. Most Americans could not find Europe on the map, more or less Kosovo. But keep dreaming, until the day you are dumped by America like a smelly skunk, just like they have done to numerous so-called allies in their glorious, and exploitive history.

Bilbao, you are making ignorant, pro-American statements. Yes, overall, the standard of living is much greater in the US, which has enjoyed a century plus of economic development and prosperity, than in the developing nations of Asia, South and Central Asia, South America, and so on. The developing nations are populations in some cases a billion plus, not millions. If you have been following the world economic news, these developing nations are advancing, and quite quickly, while the old, developed nations are in decline. Look at who owns America's debt - it's China. Look at who is enjoying GDP growth in double digits, while the US and EU struggle with underperforming single digit growth. I understand your defense of the US/EU, because an Albanian Kosovo would not be in existence now, and the land-grab could not have happened, but please, do not insult anyones intelligence here, by saying that because of overall living conditions in developing nations, makes the West more powerful. You are living on hope, pal/lady. Empires come, and they go, that has been the way in history. Who would have ever thought that the Roman empire would ever end, but it did, and so will America (North). Kosovo is Serbia, their roots are there, it will be in Serbia's hands again. We will be patient, but we will have control over our land again, regardless of how many Albanians move there.

The US is a near extinguished power that now runs around this planet telling anyone and everyone that they are really important, but it’s quite clear that there is nothing left in the proverbial “gas tank”.

Hilary Clinton is a ruthless and merciless individual – much like the shark in the ocean. She wanted to bomb Serbia to distract the US from Bill’s antics with Monica and nothing else. She neither likes nor dislikes Serbs or Albos – it was business. She did this for US advantage not to set the Albos “free’.

She is in Belgrade not because she wants to be there but has to resolve this Kosovo mess in the hope that the US would not throw more money down the drain, especially now with the financial crunch time on the horizon for the US. Look at all the US blustering over the Iranian Precedential visit to Lebanon and Israel making threats if he visits – well he is there right now and if this does not tell you the situation then go in believing in fairytales.

She has to make a deal with a small country – does that sound like the same superpower of the 1990s to you???????
