"we will be supporting it and its population forever. “

"i have a good solution: let’s bring them here."

We've been doing that for a while now. How do you think we got four of the "Fort Dix Six"?

In all fairness the results of Albanian immigration to the US have been mixed, but somewhat predictable -- the Christian ones tend to integrate (like the Belushis). The Muslims don't tend to do so well, and often get involved in crime and drugs. Then you get Albanian Mafia crime like the Albanian Mafia plot to assassinate Rudy Giuliani when he was a prosecutor.

But in Kosovo now, the Albanians are almost all Muslim. They have an economy less productive than most of Africa, an unemployment of over 50% and have the highest birthrate in Europe.

Are you sure that you want more of them here?

I sincerely thank you for your cogent answers. They make me weep for my country.

I do not know how big the harvest will be from all that the Clintonoids did, But my guess it is going to be big and it will last us a long time.

Then, following the eternal Serbian narrative, came more betrayal and defeat. Russia, Serbia’s only Great Power supporter, pulled the rug from under the Serbs and demanded they yield. Why? History may some day find out, but as of now, we don’t know.

Schröder on Kosovo - "Moscow had for some time given the impression that it stood on the side of Belgrade out of a kind of pan-Slavic sentiment -- an alliance that the Serbian President Milosevic could use as a trump card. It was to the great credit of the German foreign ministry that it finally persuaded a hesitant Russia that it was in its own interest to withdraw its support for Belgrade."

When NATO bombed Serbia in the 1990s, Russia was too weak to respond. That is no longer the case. ...the boozy, corrupt Yeltsin has been replaced by the new Man of Steel, Vladimir Putin.

What delusional fantasy!! Yeltsin supported Serbia more than Putin! Yeltsin at least sent troops to Kosovo, Putin pulled them out and refuses to send them back!

Gerhard Schroeder, who orchestrated Russia's betrayal of the Serbs now works for Putin! Serbia is a victim of the new Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, they are just too blind to see what is happening right in front of their faces!

By the way, on a historical note, it was Bismarck's siding against the Russians at the Congress of Berlin which ensured World War I. It was Bismarck's machinations which created the alliances which led to World War I, so I think maybe he's not the best guy to look toward.

The alternative facing Russia at the time however was certain defeat in war with (at the least) the British, Austrian, and Ottoman Empires.
This is why Russia took the deal, why Bismarck got involved in the mess with the results you pointed out, and why they say no good deed remains unpunished.

Geopolitical realignment, and isolation of Russia, deprived them exits to Mediterranean and Black Sea.Montenegro, Albanian, Greece, Bulgaria, Rumania, ( Ukraine, Georgia next to join NATO) Turkey. Kosovo is a perfect peace of real estate for the new military base, location gives you perfect staging grounds to Africa and Middle East.

They are useful idiots, in this case they are not just moslems,they are Otomans, the worst enemies of Eastern Orthodox Christians.

Traditionally, Russians throughout history were always viewed as defenders of Eastern Orthodox Christians.

What next is a good question.

Yeah, it was a Pommeranian grenadier, but I wasn´t sure how to spell Pommern and “Grenadier” in English, so I chose a not-so specific description. Pommerania was part of Prussia, and a grendaier is a soldier. :-)
