The Slovenian revolution ... was it worth it?

[Dinner]

It was a **** country before the revolution, it is still a **** country after the revolution, and yet it is even less relevant today then when it was part of Yugoslavia. What is worse is the bastards caused a series of civil wars in Yugoslavia. Please discuss.

[Riesstiu IV]

The entire Balkans and Anatolia belong to teh Byzantine Empire.

The last time Slovenia was part of a country which was worth a damn the map looked like this:

[Sava]

it's NATO's fault

WTF Oerdin? Slovenia is awesome... yeah, I'd hate to live in a county that has $29,000 GDP per capita and has a beautiful countryside and nice cities.

[BlackCat]

Nah, Oerdin are just trying to hush up the fact that Cal. Gov. are on the brink of revolting against its moronic population

[Imran Siddiqui]

Then he should have picked an actual ****ty city .

We went from former commies (you know the guys who left the rest of Eastern Europe a ****hole) to a developed economy without giving up universal healthcare. Also more than 50% of Slovenia is forest, we actually take care of our environment.

26. Germany
27. Slovenia
28. Malta
29. United Kingdom
30. South Korea


Unless we adopt a Spartan-like society and conquer all of Europe 2 million people are never going to matter on a global scale no matter which country they are part of.


Actually it may be possible that the average Slovenian has a greater effect on the world than the average American living in non-swing states (due to the electoral system and the fact that smaller countries are over-represented in the EU)





Sure maybe we screwed over the rest of the Yugoslavs, but we weren't going to take orders from Belgrade that where dooming the federal economy and goverment.

Blackcat is still brain damaged. It is good to see some things never change.

[onodera]

Your flag still uses our colours, buddy. Do not think we have forgotten about you. Don't you think Russia deserves some Alps and warm Mediterranean? It's easier to annex you than to get a Slovenian visa, honestly.

If someone other than Slobodan Milosevic, someone more solicitous of non-Serbian participation had been elected President of Serbia could the breakup of Yugoslavia have been prevented?

You see the Austro-Hungarian empire as worth a damn?

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was even more pathetic than the Ottoman Empire.

[Wernazuma III]

Oerdin, WTF?
Slovenia is about the only former communist country that really managed to restructre its economy becoming fully competitive. Of course, that's because the Yugoslav economy was never Moscow-oriented, knew more private initiative and competition, and Slovenia was the stronghorse in that economy anyway...

[Dinner]

I know (remember I was stationed in the former Yugoslavia for a year), but I needed to get back at him for the American revolution thread.
