Serbia amassing "unprecedented forward deployment of artillery, tanks, and service members” along border with Kosovo

[Roger Wilco]

Serbia about to invade?

 

[dainthomas]

Apparently they feel like getting bombed again.

 

[cytg111]

Oh for fucks sake.

 

[Jaskalas]

Russia will have WW3. This does not end until you stop them and their allies by force.

To demonstrate, Putin's stooge is IN Serbia today.
Think that's a coincidence? What DOES Hungary publicly say about Serbia and Kosovo?

What are the implications for anyone not in Serbia or Kosovo?

America gets to do what we do best, be world police?

Among other issues, NATO has upwards of 4000 troops in Kosovo, provided by multiple NATO countries (including a Turkish battalion), article from earlier this Summer:

I assume any attacks on NATO forces will be dealt with swiftly.

Trumpism in the states, Trumpism in Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia, nationalism in Russia China India Japan etc all primed to take advantage of growing pains in a de-globalization period of hardship around the planet when population declines begins to hurt.

Wouldnt it be funny if it all could be traced back to social media getting people riled up over immigrantion and “what is a woman” ?

I mean literally, social media being the catalyst that breaks our backs?

Haha. Funny.

Orban has been in power since 2010, calling it "Trumpism" is insulting to Europe. We can manufacture our own facism without your American imports just fine!

Yeah and how is Japan any different then the last 55 years the same party has been in power......

Our brother. Our. But to my mind it took Trump to mainstream it again. Well whoever is pulling Trumps strings of course.
Point stands though. Would this "Make Fascism Great Again" and general nationalistic tendencies have been possible without social media?

I caught a reel on facebook that made me take a dive on Japanese culture and apparently its close to impossible to insert yourself into it as a foreigner, especially as a non Japanese looking foreigner. You will basically never join the club.
Then I jumped to China. Nationalism in China is real plus stuff like this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ism-over-photos-pairing-africans-with-animals
Shit is crazy.
You seen the shit in India?

Comparatively speaking "The West" is light years ahead of the competition when in comes to equality and inclusion... As batshit crazy as that might sound.

We really are in the cradle. Toddlers tossing nukes. And we wonder why The Galactic Federation wont return our calls.

Yes, human nature gravitates towards tribal zealotry. Unfiltered propaganda just helps pour fuel on the fire, accelerating the process.

As for the topic at hand, Kosovo is getting nervous.

Kosovo says Serbia's behaviour same as Russia's before Ukraine invasion

"There has never been this kind of concentration of troops in recent years," Kosovar Foreign Minister Donika Gervalla-Schwarz told German broadcaster Deutschlandfunk in an interview on Monday. "The weaponry they have there, the tanks - it gives us a bad feeling because we don't know how the international community will respond."​

​

She said it was not just the concentration of troops on the edge of its former southern province, whose independence Belgrade does not recognise, but also Serbia's rhetoric and its "methods" resembling Russian behaviour towards Ukraine.​

​

"That's why it is all the more important to take the necessary steps," she said.​

If Serbia wants to fuck around they're gonna find out, again.

I think history disagrees. Setbacks along the way, sure, but on the large scale of individual rights, go back over history in 50 year increments and paint a picture.
I just worry this is an inflection point in time where no amount of peasants with pitchforks can overthrow The King and demand better times.

 

[MrSquished]

Let's turn Russia into a parking lot, and then send over every single Republican to start anew there.

You know, Republicans are big fans of turning countries into parking lots when it comes to the Middle East so this is a language they can understand.

 

[Lezunto]

Let's not be hasty, now. Will the lots have charging stations for electric cars?

 

[MrSquished]

I don't think electric cars suit the regressive GQP demographic. I think there should literally be no environmental laws in their new parking lot country. And in fact, any energy but fossil fuels should be banned. So no, no charging stations. Just gun stores and big gulps and fast food. And zero culture.

 

[Pens1566]

Not this shit again ...
