Bosnian Serbs in the Republika Srpska are glad that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled the Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence was legal. The Bosnian Serbs have wanted to exit Bosnia and join Serbia for quite some time. The Bosnian government officially says its borders are fixed, but then, Serbia's are not. One Bosnian Serb official made the interesting argument that the ICJ's ruling supersedes the Dayton Accords which ended the Bosnian War and established Bosnia's current government. In August several other Balkan countries also indicated they are very interested in the ICJ's July 22 decision. The court declared that it was ruling on Serbia's petition about Kosovo – implying it was a unique case. Other nations aren't sure. There are many observers who regard it as an indication that the time is approaching when European borders will be allowed to shift. Moldova has been worried that Transdniestr will secede and use the ICJ ruling as a pretext. Though Georgia is not in the Balkans, it is another instructive example. The separatist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia could use the ICJ ruling to promote independence. Russian forces are still in those enclaves. As for Western Europe, Spain remains concerned about Catalan and Basque separatism.
I just read up on the ‘International Court of Justice’. It’s as useless as it sounds.
I would say the only stupid decision that George Bush made in regards to foreign policy was recognizing Kosovo as a separate state. It was ridiculous because they cannot exist alone as an independent state. They will be a U.N. welfare state forever with countries like us footing the bill for them...
I do believe it is going to happen.
In a recent post I had writened this about Turkey and the Balkans as current players in the “Real Thang” about to get underway:
There is no blame - one dead Commie enemy of Israel and a few more to come. By the way Serbia and Bulgaria have declared “in agreement with Israel” in past few weeks. Will Greece come in on the side of ALL former enemies of the “restarted” Ottoman Empire ??
Is an alliance around the Black Sea being created - Serbs/Croats/Bosnians/Georgians/Armenians/Kurds as prelude/start of the “Real Thang” ??
Recall that 3-4 years ago a report of Israel training the Kurds in use of auto-fired 155mm self-propelled guns in the northern Iraq region(adjacent to Iran). Then the info went “quiet”.
Maybe this will wake up Western Europeans and Eastern Europeans like the Poles who were bulwarks in stopping Islam in Europe.
Meanwhile back in America - most people have no clue that ObamaCare is a jizya or Islamic tax on non-muslims because muslims are exempt.
I will probably get a “oh you are a broekn record” cause the idiots now are more interested in the Nat’l Felons League.
