^ Jebiga, its interesting. I know that Croatia inherited only some of the M84 production facilities, is the arms industry capable of producing the chassis and turrets from scratch or is this all upgrading existing stocks? A Design like the M-95 Degman makes of course much more sense for Balkan terrain then a bulky heavy LeoII or M1A2, given that its what, 15t lighter. I imagine the Polish T-72 upgrade PT-91E/Ex could be a potential competitor Croatia (Duro Dakovic Specijalna Vozila) can build the tank from absolute scratch. But the Polish "Twardy" tanks problem is that it doesn't look appealing to the outside (No idea why that is, could be the lack of electronics or maybe a weak countermeasures system - which is still at par with the 1980's version of the T-72 upgrades). Besides, I think that the EU/NATO would condemn the Poles for selling such equipment or creating their own. That's why they received the USAF F-16's and didn't update their MiG-29A/M/B's within Russia to a MiG-29M2 standard.

What is your position on where the government/economy/military is heading?
The military needs to be sure to secure our borders before the Italian and Slovenian scum seek to "accidentally" walk through. The government is nothing but recycled Communism that would sell their own mothers if Europe asks them to. The economy could be better if Croatia remains independent and not an EU colony.
Where is the culture/religion/tradition heading?
It's going to the gutter because everyone thinks being a left wing extremist makes them cool. Seeing Croatians singing English songs makes me want to shoot myself, especially since they don't know just how ridiculous they sound.
Where would you like to see Croatia?
An independent country run by a party that cares about the interests of the state (HCSP), rather then how they can pocket money for themselves.
Where do you think Croatia will be?
In an EU Yugoslavia
If so, would you like to see border changes?
Herceg-Bosna re-united with Croatia
What would you do if you were the head of the Government in the country?
First of all, I would erect a spomenik of Ante Pavelic in Zagreb. Then I would bring back Ante Gotovina and Norac telling the EU to go fuck themselves. Thompson would be allowed to hold concerts wherever he wants. Communist symbols will be banned. Corruption would be put to a halt. Whoever doesn't respect Croatia will be asked to leave. Better relations with the US. Financial support to Croatian war veterans on disability. Lower taxes for the working class, higher taxes for the wealthy. "Day of "anti-fascist" struggle" will not be a Holiday.

Spartacus,
I will support your idea if you promise to peacefully integrate with Croatian favourite flowers, the Bosniacs. After all, Blaz Kraljevic would have wanted it that way.

That's the way it should have been and today we wouldn't be having this mess, or an RS

Interesting insight. Waiting for more. Lots more Croats need to write about this.
