This Sunday in history. The Balkan friendship pact

[Bereta_Eder]

Well may be it wasn't noticed that there was talk about a Balkan Confederacy.
A while ago me and Mihai from Roumania were discussing about when this idea was first thought etc so I found this text which talks exactly about that.

free advice: never defend an idiot just because he is a member of your nation. take this from a serb, we learned that a long time ago

Bush anyone...oh wait that's my country

ANd we just need to separate the Croats and Serbs and have each sit for a time out. Maybe we can make a Kurdistan over there or something as buffer.

Q: are you ready, ivica?
A: i am as ready as a german soldier on june 22, 1941

i believe that was the exact quote

Datajack wrote "Ivica Kostelic declared himself a full supporter of the Nazi regime" which is not true and I reacted to that, though its an obvious troll.

Ivica did say some things that can be viewed as -nasty- as I said. Your quote is one of them. He actually said something like "you have to be more then ready, you have to know you will be victorious, be certain you will win like a german soldier on 22 june 1941". He said couple other things like that, I checked the web page of the newsmagazine which had the .mp3 but it is now subscription only so I can't give you a link to hear yourself.

I don't know him personaly but my impression is he is just a wwII fan and not in the least a Nazi. People say things like he said in informal discussions all the time and he had bad luck to have them published.

For example you are yourself sort of 'defending' Stalin in the Stalingrad thread but I dont think you are a Stalinist because of that (I doubt it you are even a commie ). Or David Floyd, he wrote in one thread that it would be better for the Russians if Hitler won and I dont think he is a Nazi either.

Maybe next we can celebrate the Kellog-Briand Pact, outlawing war. After that the Washington Naval Limitation Treaty.

well he could have said 'i am ready like american soldier on D-Day. or...i am ready like a russian soldier before berlin, or something like that...'
