Because they don’t demonstrate any of the skills on their own to form and run a democratic country - they are puppets.
And BTW, didn’t the American “separatists” get help from France?
Some help and money, but the fighting they did on their own. The writing of the U.S. Constitution was from their own genius. In other words, they were capable and had the smarts to lead and run a good strong country on their own. And of course it worked without them being a protectorate or having a UN or EU or foreigners to run the judiciary, write the laws, and so on.
Do you think Bush might back off if Putin got serious?
...In other, expect Serbia to take Kosovo back?
There was no international organization that could impose or create international law then.
There is now, and this is pretty flimsy on the face of it.
Kosovars did not rise up and take the country away from Serbia.
It was taken by outside force, and that is as shaky as it gets from a legal standpoint.
Sad, sad day. They will do everything to weaken the Serbs
What is wrong with your brain?
The French help was 4 fried chickens and a coke.
We kicked King George out, and no amount of revisionist history will change that fact.
Like it or not - we bought into it ten years ago and it's not likely that a future president would step away.
Of course, the same can be said for the Russians.
The problem with your post is that its essence is stuck in the Cold war era...and we are past that - way past. Putin is no “fuhrer”... and for you to say that signifies you KNOW LITTLE about Putin or the Russian people and that you mimic the Liberal press financed and supported by G. Soros.
He is admired by a great majority of Russian people. He stands for principles..something that the “West” has failed to do in this case and others as well.
Bulgarians are divided on this issue: elections are coming up and we shall see then.
With all the trouble the Russians have had with European Muslims, and their history of support for the Serbs, why do you say that?

Could be the basis for a world war. It’s the right region for it. What stupidity.
The U.N. can't count on the U.S. anymore, we're somewhat over extended already. And no matter who's elected, the idea of sending of Americans over to fight that eternal conflict in middle Europe is not going to sell well. So let the Kosovars, the Albanians, the Serbs, the Bosnians, the Russians, and the Germans finally kill each other off and be happy. Of course, the Russians can't afford it, and the Germans aren't about to try again, but everybody will have a good insulting each other without dragging 3rd parties in this time. Or at least, we can hope...
Everything seems to be stupid these days. How are we a sovereign nation when we have allowed countless millions of illegals to cross our borders, suck our social resources dry in countless places, and then allow the President of Mexico to tell us off every time we even think about doing something to maybe correct things a little? Jorge Bush has been the biggest disappointment, he's been the latest president in selling out our America, and he has less excuse than all the others. He was raised in Texas, was a businessman here for many years, and then was the governor of Texas. He saw the problem first hand for many years as it has increased to a tidal wave of illegals.
Do you have Spanish language only telephone books yet? Do you listen to automated phone call services asking you first if you speak English or Spanish? Do your voting locations have signs in English and Spanish out front with either language voting forms inside?
I'm sorry, you know I'm not venting at you, I'm just bummed in general because I don't know how I can bring myself to vote for McCain. I've never voted 3rd party before.....
“But Hillary would not want to admit that her husband is wrong, Obama is pro-Muslim, and McCain is an idiot.
And Bush seems to be too stupid or resigned to the situation to do anything but go along with it.”
Sort of. McCain has been on the payroll of the terrorist KLA ever since 2000. He is the ultimate source of much of the arms they have used to kill Christian Serbs. Bush is the doting godfather of this misshapen Mohammedan monstrosity. His support for the drug running, sex slaving, Christian killing Albanians of Kosovo is unmatched by any leader except perhaps the likes the King of Saudi Arabia or the leaders of Hamas. Hitlery’s support of this nest of vipers pales to virtual insignificance in the face of that of Bush and McCain. And Obama, well he’s the one candidate who doesn’t seem to have any connection with Kosovo and cannot be demonstrated either to be on the take from the KLA or ready to protect the KLA while it dynamites Christian churches and kills Christians.
There is hope. After all, these are Mohammedans who always overplay their hand, even with the likes of George Bush at their side running interference for them. Perhaps we’ll get lucky and some country will strangle this little monster in its crib. But its more likely that a big war in Europe will be as much part of Bush’s legacy as bombed out Christian Churches across the Balkans and the Levant and Iraq.
I THINK we agree about this. The Serbs can take care of themselves, if we just let it alone. The danger is if we DO intervene, since it’s all too likely that the leftist press and intellectuals would push us to intervene on the wrong side again. Not even most Republicans understand that clinton fought that war on the wrong side, so we have to rely more on war weariness and the fact we are not directly threatened rather than common sense.
And while I don’t think I’d go as far as what Kolokotronis has just written—since it was clinton who did the major damage and Bush who is only following up on it—the greatest danger is that we, or the Germans and the French, or other clueless members of what used to be called western civilization, would intervene again on the wrong side.
If clinton, Schroeder, and Blair had only just stood back in the first place, the Serbs could have gotten it straightened out, since the biggest problem in the first place was Muslim terrorists infiltrating Kosovo—terrorists whom NATO decided to support.
I feel confident Israel will NEVER recognize “Kosovo”, to its eternal credit. Jews well remember how these animals gleefully joined Hitler’s SS during WWII.
I believe that Serbia could take Kosovo back, or at least most of it, provided that the “West” stayed out of it. But there would be a LOT of propaganda pressure to help the Muslims “defend” themselves.
Of course clinton thumbed his nose at Russia and created a lot of permanent bad feeling, and that idiot Weasley Clark almost started a war with them not once but twice. Russia under Putin will not easily put up with another Yugoslavian adventure by NATO against their Little Brother Serbs.
So, who knows what would happen?
Because there's a RINO in the Oval Office, Republican members of congress have allowed many things outrightly harmful to the country to slip by.
Which is exactly what they'll do if there's a President McCain.
