What happens to countries with no borders? Consider Kosovo.

As we continue to watch the unbelievable bizarre, immature, and wholly irrational saga over whether or not we (the US) will be fortifying our borders with Mexico and constructing a more continuous and less permeable wall there, we might want to consider the disastrous consequences of open borders as they essentially existed between Yugoslavia and Albania when Josip Broz Tito ruled Yugoslavia from 1945-1981.

For months, I have waited some discussion in the West relating NATO's theft of Kosovo from Serbia in 2008 with and the recent US border destabilization/problems to no avail.

The corporate-controlled mainstream media so thoroughly censored/controlled discussion (and continues to do so this day) of anything related to Yugoslavia with so much fake news that few in the West see the writing on the wall and thus I write in the desperate hope of warning my fellow Americans to learn the lessons of Yugoslavia.

Post from Russian News............What?
Last article sentence reads ......

However, we must remember the tragic case of Kosovo as a test case/example that is being repeated in many areas of the world including the US as a lesson to what happens when there are no borders as national borders open, refugees flood in and then the borders suddenly become fluid and chaos and the rules of the jungle reign supreme to the delight of globalists. Be forewarned!

“I write in the desperate hope of warning my fellow Americans to learn the lessons of Yugoslavia.”

I did. Was there visiting family in Yugoslavia just as the Wall was coming down.

What smacked me in the face was there was NO middle class, just the poor and the ruling.

Thanks for posting, EXCELLENT story. I always wondered how Kasava (as Bill Clinton later called) became 90% Albanian so quickly.

Incredible that electing the wrong person (as in Clinton) could lead to us to actually SEVER an internationally recognized country that was 80 years old. (and forget NATO, it was all US - the European countries wouldn’t have stood a chance against Serbia without us doing the bombing - they begged us).

At first we tried to bomb their military targets, but that didn’t work (they had cardboard tanks that we bombed, for example), so we then bombed their civilian targets, to make them feel some pain. Plenty of war crimes to go around on our part, but as they say, the winner writes the history.

No borders = No country
No country = No government
No government = No laws
No laws = Most guns win

This is just weird - my husband finished watching a documentary about that conflict not even an hour ago. The documentary focused on the search for one child in one photograph and they eventually found him, now an adult, of course. Will show him this article.

Different subject than Kosovo but relevant to the coverage of Kosovo in the media. The media covered it not poorly but with left wing ideology. Kosovo suffered greatly due to this. Kosovo had zero strategic importance to the USA nor Russia. Why in the hell were we dropping bombs on this nation and the Republic of Yugoslavia. Who in the hell were they a threat to? I guess we should ask Bill Clinton?

I also read RT which is “Russia Today.” When you read RT it is simply Putin.

My point is RT is little different than our main stream media. It is all political.

Both RT and our main stream media report things that are non political with pretty good accuracy. If it is political neither is accurate. I have no problem with political opinions if it is on the editorial page. If it is on the pages that are supposed to be news it becomes indoctrination. RT does this as do our media.

Yeah... kinda apples and oranges IMO. The zipperheads who came to (invaded) Kosovo weren't coming there because Albania was a Shiite hole and Kosovo was not. Kosovo was and is and likely will always be a SH! The invaders came to Kosovo because some ancient backwards reason, and when the Serbs said "go back, this is Serbia", Madam Notsobright and the Brits mainly opened up a can of whoopa$$ on them for no particular reason other than a photo of a kid who had some physical condition everybody mistook for a starving holocaust victim. I wrote a paper on that while studying the effects of propaganda. Even Margaret Thatcher got roped into that one.

I challenge anyone to study the history of that region and grasp it! (I cannot) But what I can say is for lack of anything else to do, I used to have a long running "conversation" with one of our interpreters who was born in Skopje, grew up in Pristina yet said she was Albanian. I said if you were born in Macedonia, you're Macedonian or you can consider yourself Kosovar since you grew up there. The argument went on for hours, so maybe the effect was the same as the Mexicans coming here!

Someone born and raised in NYC can consider herself "Puerto Rican", even though not even her parents ever visited there.

Was the interpreter Muslim?

Please post the photo if you can. It was a hot August day and the kid and a friend were hanging out near a prison where the Serbs were holding war prisoners. I believe the kids were looking for food or water when they came upon the British press who were inside a fenced off area. One of the photographers took a photo of the shirtless kid through the fence because his ribs were sticking out due to a childhood illness. (I forgot the disease, but they have a lot of that there)

The photo got interpreted as the kid starving and the press played it up like it was Dachau. Then it was off to the races with the Brit and US press who could get a scoop on a concentration camp the evil Serbs were running, when the kid was outside of the fence in the open, and the photo was taken from the inside.

Yep...they all are. They’re Muslim “light” IMO. All the backwards traits of the muzzies. The Turks ruled that place for over 300 years, I believe, but they “tolerated” other religions and a lot of the locals converted back in the day for expedience. Then when the Austro-Hungarians took over they converted back.

The name of the documentary is “A Single Frame”. He watched it on Amazon - here is a link to the picture.

It isn’t the same picture as the one you mentioned.

The photographer’s name was Alexandra Boulat. She passed away in 2008 I think from an aneurysm.

There is a discussion of the area on this thread.

Hard to know what is the truth.

Went to Yugoslavia in the 80’s to see distant family and always wondered how it became such a mess.
