"The 82nd anniversary of the Battle for the Wounded on the Neretva was marked on Saturday by laying flowers on the Memorial and lowering 82 carnations into the Neretva in Jablanica.

President of SABNOR BiH Sead Đulić said that the Battle of the Neretva is the most glorious and humane battle in the common history of the peoples of the former Yugoslavia.

'This year we mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism, however, in all of this, it should be said that fascism was defeated militarily in 1945, but not destroyed,' Đulić said, among other things."

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

“Once the US has exhausted itself yet again failing to crush AnsarAllah, we could see more of its arsenal in play - and in turn, another historic defeat of the Empire, as inflicted over the course of Operation Prosperity Guardian”

Autographs

In 1971, my older brother and I attempted to collect the autographs of all the world leaders. We kept a detailed record of who we wrote to, who responded, and how long it took. The project lasted for several years. Here are some of our treasures!

1) Golda Meir, Israel
2) Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah, King of Nepal
3) Josip Broz Tito, Yugoslavia
4) King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Arabia

If only #US citizens had taken to the streets when their governments invaded #Iraq and #Afghanistan, when they mercilessly bombed #Yugoslavia and #Libya without any legitimacy from the #UN. When they bombed civilians in #Palestine and #Yemen.
When they made juntas and color revolutions in #Nicaragua, #Venezuela, #Chile and #Ukraine.
But in the end they only protested when tariffs hit nike air imported from #Vietnam.

¡Buenos días! El 30 de marzo de 2010 desapareció la República Federativa Socialista de Yugoslavia, o al menos lo que quedaba de ella: su dominio de Internet .yu. Su historia puede ser una enseñanza para todos esos convencidos de los entornos digitales centralizados. Os comparto por si os apetece una lectura mientras os ubicáis con una hora menos.

Trebjesa, Monténégro - 2024

The "altruism" of big guns, a.k.a. "supporting democracy" around the globe, in places where it never was.

What would the #US arms industry do if there was no conflict in the world? Make sure one spark can become a wildfire and then level cities to the ground?

Nah, these things never happen. #sarcasm

(My added) blue/red zones are Democrat/Republican administrations.

Bosnian Serb leader Dodik is convicted and sentenced for separatist activities as tensions surge https://www.byteseu.com/781079/ #AleksandarVučić #Bosnia #BosniaAndHerzegovina #BosniaHerzegovina #Courts #DonaldTrump #GeneralNews #Herzegovina #LegalProceedings #MiloradDodik #Politics #RaceAndEthnicity #RussiaGovernment #Sarajevo #Serbia #UnitedStatesGovernment #ViktorOrban #WorldNews #Yugoslavia

In August 1939, #Stalin & #Hitler made a pact. Weeks later, both occupied #Poland

That pact gave Hitler the security and resources needed between 1939-41 to nearly defeat the British and invade #Denmark #Norway #Yugoslavia #France

After switching sides in 1941 and winning in 1945, the Soviet Union replaced nazi #occupation with #communist occupation (aka "liberation") of Eastern Europe

Putin has the same objective in #Europe today. We must not allow a 1939-style #Putin-#Trump imperialist pact
