    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.
