Close, but the a deeper last resort of the talentless is to live through the accomplishments of their forebears. Difference being that a parent can reasonably be said to have produced their kids.

Seems like yet another case of a parent living through the accomplishments of their child. It’s the last resort of the talentless.

Heaven forbid.. someone in the Western Hemisphere doesn’t think that American foreign policy may not all based on on virtue, and that, yes maybe, they may also have some nefarious purposes.
And, whatever the rights and wrongs, Serbians were on the wrong end of American/British/EU bombing not so long ago.
So yes Putin started an ‘unprovoked ‘ war in Ukraine this year, but who was it that started an even more unprovoked war in Iraq 20 years ago?
Time to start acknowledging that huge tracts of the new multipolar world don’t see geopolitics through the Western prism, and, perhaps, sometimes for good reasons?
Err, legions of people in the West – politicians, analysts, gen pop, journalists – have heavily criticised and condemned American and Western policy, military actions etc throughout the modern age. They did so abundantly, and freely – so much so that it is clear that there is no simple singular ‘Western prism’. Imperfect as it is, this is one of the great foundational aspects of the West/modern states.

Interesting observation that “Serbia without Kosovo is like “a body without a soul”.” My understanding is that Kosovo had been a part of Serbia and is the area of many of its most important historical and religious events and sites. The region of Kosovo has ‘always’ had ethnic Albanians in it but a more recent influx of Albanians led to the Serbs becoming a minority in their own country. Inevitably this led to tension and ultimately independence. If that is true then I can understand why the Serbs are bitter.
How will Brits feel when London decides to secede from the UK?
More pertinently, realistically – ‘how would the English feel if Scotland cedes?’. The answer would be complex, many relieved, happy, many sad, but, I think, they would not go to war or resort to violence. The lessons of Northern Ireland – the destructive power of nationalist purity, backed up with violence – have been painfully learned.
Hitler felt the same about Poland, Czechoslovakia and a chunk of France. Funny how you can justify a war, then ethnic cleansing. Do you support the Celts and Angles expelling people from the U.K. too?

A silly hit piece aimed at Djokovic…. most of the worlds population is neutral or ambivalent about an inter-slav war. I’m sure all Slav’s come down on one side or the other.

My country is truly interesting at times (I live Down Under, happy belated Australia day everyone). A few months ago, a soccer match in Sydney became notorious for Croatian, nationalist supporters who did the Ustase salute. Sport has always conjured patriotic sentiment here.
It is the Drop Bears that make it so worrying there

“Anti Western streak”. How dare he an express such opinions. It’s almost as disgraceful as his son refusing to have the Covid jab.
Anyone would think they were living in the free world.
