Well to be fair I don't think I ever heard of "the Balkans" while I was growing up, including in college.

Of course back then "the Balkans" were behind the iron curtain, mostly inaccessible to Americans, just part of the USSR. The only way I would have heard of the Balkans is if they had an Olympic skating team or such, which of course they didn't.

Wow. This kid is discovering truth and honesty (which may well place him firmly on “our side”)...and you’re badmouthing him, calling him names.

Your pitiful arrogance is on full display.
