Today: UN united all separatists

By M. Bozinovich | Earlier this year, Sri Lanka saw the writing on the wall in regards to the precedent that the so-called International Court of Justice was about to make on the issue of Serbian Kosovo and dully rounded up their guns, got themselves a winning general and killed all of the separatists in the Tamil province that were threatening the demise of that country. Since then, judging by their stock market, Sri Lanka is prospering… and good for them.

Serbia never did this in its own province of Kosovo… and it is now paying for it because of some sixth rate bureaucrats in the State Department that probably can not tell their own house on the US map let alone Kosovo where Albanians are murdering Serbs.

Across the world, others, like Serbia, did not do what Sri Lanka wisely chose, and as a result they are standing on an international precedent, by judges no one elected, to swallow a break up of their own country as legitimate.

Unlike Sri Lanka, Milosevic is seen practicing "principled" diplomacy with the Albanian separatist Rugova.

Granted, break up of the US along ethnic lines is still in the future, but it is hard not to imagine that Mexicans are not rejoicing at the ICJ Kosovo ruling because Mexicans will, finally, get their land back… sometimes in the future and calling on this Kosovo precedent.

Of course, by then, Joe Biden who is vehemently supporting Kosovo independence will be dead, but the slogan, “Remember Alamo” will turn into “Yeah, we remember” as the Mexican crowd waves flags not just for the major soccer game inside the US soil but all across the south, west and elsewhere in the US. The Lone Star will revert to Green-White-Red after all.

The legacy of Alamo is, of course, the American problem, where I live, but towards that 3rd or 4th derivative of today’s UN ruling Financial Times says:

The other major implication is the message it may send to secessionist movements around the world. According to Edwin Bakker of the Clingendael Institute of International Relations in the Netherlands, Thursday’s ruling is significant because it blesses an act of secession of a kind not seen in almost 40 years.

“For the first time since the break-up of Pakistan in the mid-1970s, we are seeing a country becoming independent, despite the strong opposition of the state from which it is separating,” he says. “This ruling will strengthen separatists around the globe. Cases that have been confronted with very brutal repression may feel that their chances for an independent state have increased.”

Mr Bakker argued that separatist movements comparable to the Kosovo case are limited. He suggested that the ruling would boost radical separatist elements in the Basque country in Spain, and in Cyprus.

Cyprus, of course, immediately said that their issue is “different” from Kosovo – something US has been claiming all along – paving the way for the Greek recognition of Kosovo, given all the Albanians inside Greece that could riot because of Greek “economic crisis”.

Others blame today’s UN Court decision on Serbia’s President Tadic.

“Ever since the U.S. intervened in Serbia’s domestic politics two years ago and helped the current coalition take power in Belgrade, Boris Tadić and his cohorts have been looking for a way to capitulate on Kosovo while pretending not to,” writes incisive Srdja Trifkovic saying that the appointment of Serbia’s Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic signaled that “this outcome could be predicted with near certainty.”

Others, like John Bosnitch, formerly of Tokyo Times says that “They [the ICJ] have found a strictly grammatical way of getting an opinion out of the court that they can present as a ‘ruling’ to pressure more countries to recognize the U.S.-EU annexation and remote control of Kosovo through their selected Albanian agents on the ground in the Serbian province.”

Both are true because Tadic has learned the valuable Milosevic-maneuver how to turn every diplomatic loss into a political gain while pursuing a legal opinion at the UN about a “declaration” which, as every baby-mama in the ghetto would tell him while shouting “I can declare me any mother-f%#@$ing thin i wont, nah” – is legal.

Some have suggested joining the Shanghai Group involving China and Russia, others saying NATO is the forum to protect Serbia’s interests, and others just simply criticize Tadic’s government in order to score points and win another irrelevant election while, all these are fully aware that it was Milosevic that decided on the language of the UN Resolution 1244 that sunk Serbia: a man with a lot of mouth that could not defend his own state – Tony Blair “invasion by land” diarrhea and Chernomyrdin nevertheless.

On this one, of course, we could all go back to Adam…

Is it time, for Serbia, to cut the losses?

Of course not, but the EU knows that as well.

EU is playing the “bleed to death” game where they hook you into their membership with thousand cuts so that when the blood pressure of the Serbian nation evaporates the dying population will suck up anything and declare it victory, just because alive. Serbia must start its own such game in the opposite direction.

Ever since the communists took over in 1945, Serbia’s governments always play a game of compromise, as though good, and never change their fantasy that compromise is for losers. Milosevic just perfected this fantasy, now blamed on Tadic who keeps that nasty domestic “principled” political legacy going while the Serbia’s electorate, enamored with losers, keeps voting for them.

Going in the opposite direction means realizing that the Islamic world is Serbia’s ally because, after joining the EU, all these Islamic malefactors that destroyed Serbia could enjoy themselves destroying the others… and elsewhere into Europe. Serbia needs to facilitate these malefactors through.

Bosnian Muslims, after all, could help liberate their oppressed brethren in Bulgaria where Turkey, now Serbia’s ally, stands idly by and is yet to do something about Bulgarian deportation of thousands of Muslims out of their land.

Serbia can do all this because Muslims have achieved what they sought on Serbia’s land, so it’s time to facilitate them to go elsewhere… like Bulgaria, Albania, London, Paris… Strike my European fancy my good lady and suck on a Cigar like Churchill!
