Pfft ... as if anybody in Serbia could trigger a world war.
Like, they didn't trigger WWI?

NB: I don't think I know any other place online where fairly obvious sarcasm is missed completely so much of the time... or where people think that a subtle joke is best followed by making the same joke again, just more clumsily.

I agree my sarcasm detector sometimes doesn't work as it should, but then to someone who manages to detect subtle sarcasm it's always deadly obvious.

(In this case, I was primarily referring to Mirzda.)

Right.

Yes, well... but it would also pretty unfair to blame Serbia for starting WWI. That assassination just came in right time of escalated tension when the big ones needed some excuse...

Hence "trigger". Metaphorically, the gun had been loaded, but someone needed to pull the trigger - also literally, in this case.

Face it, US troops are there too long already to be seen as mere 'liberators' (uninvited in the first place) even by the simplest of Iraqis. After certain time the liberating force turns into occupying force in the eyes of natives, no matter what security & democracy reasons is the occupying force using as an excuse. But this may be hard to explain to some people living in superpower, which has never been subject of military occupation.
Finally. It is good to see that some of you can understand. What you don't yet is that for them to even have the chance the fledgling government had to be protected. Why were they even able to have elections do you think? Why did we need to rebuild utilities do you think? Sure we are going to be hated by them and the rest of the world but they will have a chance and in the end that's the only thing that matters.
Of course they are going to cozy up to Iran when we leave but maybe they can pull off the diplomacy thing and still not ethnic cleanse or religious cleanse or whatever. They have a chance now and we need to leave.
You are mostly lemmings here though. Subb eff and catbarf particularly need to consider the other side of things. You people are saying the same things you said years ago and never bother to once think. Christ catbarf, I SAID they should have been labled POWs but perhaps you don't understand what that means. After subb effs hur hur soldiers are nazis you friend sux I don't care to continue. All of you can pat yourselves on the back and high five all you want now. You can miss all the key things said as you repeat the same tired arguments all over again. Lemmings.
I've been here so long and so many have never listened to a thing I said that it's too late now anyway. It's as if you don't know my stance on things. BUT I'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS AND SAID THEM ALREADY.

I never said this. I specifically said

and I don't remember this incident... ...I don't know the facts about that issue
You're just being an idiot by making that suggestion. If you want anyone to take your discussion seriously it'd be better for you to stick to facts, or better still just not spout crap. I know that strawmanning is de regeur for the larger tards on here but you've never been a part of the largertard group so why start applying for membership now?
Keep doing it WE'LL be the ones who don't care to continue.
PS. please don't ever lump me in with brainbarf. Ever.
