You expect me to believe that? Just hate who has the most muslims and you'll be fine. I think the Serbs have a lot left before they started coming to Michigan.BucketHead wrote:A. I remember launching a bowling ball off the cat. It flew a perfect bingo profile and landed in Diego Garcia

Yugoslavia was not in the Soviet sphere of influence after 1948, and Tito was a founding member of the Organization of Nonaligned Countries. They did not receive military or financial aid from the USSR from 1948 on.lasalle wrote:If you're interested in ages old territorial and religious conflicts in Eastern Europe and the USSR, I recommend Eight Pieces of Empire-A 20 Year Journey Through the Soviet Collapse. Just finished it-it's a quick, first hand account of ethnic and religious squaring of accounts that took place once Moscow had other shit to worry about than keeping the peace.

Thanks, professor. I was suggesting that if people have an interest in conflicts in that general neighborhood, that book is worth picking up.

Trooper said they all could be pretty fucking bad but he said the Serbs tipped the scales a bit.

Isn't a Serb just a Croat with an anger management problem?

Anthony Bourdain did an episode from Croatia a couple of weeks ago. He was crazy about the food and wine. Info here.

As I remember the idea behind the picture was that only Tito could hold the area together. IMHO (and I'm only marginally educated on teh conflicts) this captures it as well as anything.

my old man was shot down in that part of the world in '44. picked up by partisans, he was shipped across the adriatic to his base in italy in a fishing boat. he was back to dropping bombs shortly after.
