"None of the nations I mentioned can be permitted to continue their existence, they are just too dangerous. Their mutual international boundaries must all be eliminated, and they should return the area to its last just government. The East Roman (Byzantine) Empire must be restored, under the legitimate Basileus, the descendants of the last Emperor of the Romanoi, the Romanovs."

Interesting solution, and one I would never have thought of.

Actually, I think that the EU and our State Department like the Balkans broken up into little, corrupt bite-sized chunks. What better a place to launder our tax dollars? What better a place for arms dealers and mercenaries to ply their trade than in Kosovo, occupied by 16,000 NATO troops?

Forgive me, but I really think that there is a concerted effort in the West to keep the Balkans corrupt and unstable, so that the situation can be exploited for profit.

Well bringing back at least the East Roman Empire has been my pet project ever since I heard that they almost did it at Versailles. After all Armenia was out of business for a longer time than the Byzantines, and it was brought back. It has the additional advantage of being a project which is understandable and does not actually exist at this time. That means we can start it, and we can run it. And the East Roman Empire has not a single active opponent now either. Also the Romanovs seem to be a classy group to hang out with. Maybe we could get observer status at the EU and the UN

You have to admit, this is really thinking outside the box!
