PRISTINA, Kosovo -- Kosovo's parliament declared the territory a nation on Sunday, mounting a historic bid to become an "independent and democratic state" backed by the U.S. and European allies but bitterly contested by Serbia and Russia.....

The Muslim takeover of a country in Europe, backed by us, is now complete.

For awhile, anyway.

[jeddavis]

I suspect Russia will have something to say on the topic before the week is over.

I just know hearing this will make your day.

I have come to believe that this type of activity is no mistaken or wrong headed rather is is a deliberate act against the best interests of the west. And dare I say Russia?

[JasonC]

And we should care what the nuclear armers of Iran say or want about anything, why exactly?

Putin can pound sand.

[Regulator]

A rather large part of me wishes that maybe Russia would do a little more than talk.

It's sickening to see that British troops are being called up to defend this terrorist foothold in the new Caliphate.

[Nuc1]

no=not sigh.

Man up, Putin. Send in the troops. Do the right thing.

Dark clouds on the horizon.

Man up, Putin. Send in the troops. Do the right thing.

I agree.

[Heatseeker]

Pray for the Serbs of Kosovo. They’ll need it.

Sometimes I just shake my head at the USA foreign policy.

We're seeing the remnant effects of Clinton globalism and anti-Westernism.

At the time it happened I did not understand that Albania was essentially Ottoman. I knew that Albania had a fair number of Muslims, but they did in fact look "secular". That probably had more to do with Communism and even Turkish secularism, so it probably won't last long. The Burkhas will be mandatory soon, and the Christians should just draw a little line on their necks where the axe will hit. I'm sure Thaci has lots of plans to avenge Srebrenitsa.

I never thought I’d be cheering for Putin. What a crazy world we live in.

I have carefully copied these figures via Wikipedia.

A study by Austro/Hungarian Peter Kukulj,of Kosovo, showed in 1871.
64% Serbs. 32% Albanians with 10,000 Roma.

Further Austrian statistics in 1899.
47.80% Albanians. 43.7% Serbs. 8% others.

Today figures of the Serb population in Kosovo, are between only 7% and at most 10%.

The United Nations is useless. If it's moguls cannot see ethnic cleansing, then it is as useless as the old League of Nations. Time for it to go.

The story is not over yet, Dhimmi.

[isrul]

It sure is. How crazy can it get? I’m not sure I want to see.No. I need to see.
