Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Under Tito, Yugoslavia stood up to the Russians.

The man was a tyrant, no question, but after he took power he actually tired to do some good for his country... Well... Until the CIA pinned the Muslims against the Christians and tore the country apart.

The man was a tyrant, no question

It's weird to call someone a tyrant when he preceded over one of the most peaceful and productive periods of Yugoslavian history. Then he dies, the various ethnic enclaves get a fresh influx of "liberal" mass media, and we've hearing the genocide machine rev up again within five years. Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, the GDR, and even Romania seem to tell the same story.

Would that any of them - or Afghanistan or Libya or Haiti/DR or even fucking Texas - have a man half as "tyrannical" as Tito in charge, instead of the psycho fascist fucks and capitalist ghouls they inherited.

Until the CIA pinned the Muslims against the Christians and tore the country apart.

It's funny how the United States is experiencing a very similar ethnic tension happening currently. I guess what goes around can come around.
