Well, Lurch can't pay attention to much because he only works 5 hours a week. He perks up though when they tell him he'll get two scoops. I'm sure Billy Clinton would love to bomb Serbia again but he and Hillary are not in power. But hey, I hear Victoria Nuland is available.

Gee, I was thinking this whole Ukraine thing was a distraction from the Hunter Biden’s laptop story.

It’s really sad that we can’t believe anything out of the media and this government anymore.

Right. Remind me again who got involved in the Balkans first back in the 1990s. (Hint: it wasn’t Russia)

That would be Germany, before the outbreak of hostilities. They were supplying arms to the Croats via Hungary beginning in 1988. Then we played catch-up, and how.

This is just more baying for attention (and free stuff) on the part of the Bosnian Muslims, They have always done it, often to good effect, but feeling ignored these days. Everyone is tired of Balkan whining.

It’s true the Russians play diplo-footsie with Serbia and the Bosnian Serbs to some extent, but it’s not really a big deal.
