+ 1 stealth + the way to defeat the NATO 750,000$ worth missiles, by arranging a microwave oven to imitate an air defense radar. Cool a 750,000 $ missile destroying a 30$ home appliance!!! Thats what i mean Serbia's Greatness Miggie!!
P.S. - MIG, Your latest post to me was so weak and soft, i would think you are begging for reconciliation. So its ok. - Srbobran you are in my Daemon's "Exalt" list from today (you know the one who hates MIG and Demonel but loves Pyrros!)

1. It was one F-117 Nighthawk that was shot down, the only casualty, other than the 32 Cruise Missiles/UAV's, and one lone F-16 that crashed near Beograd. 2. An Apache that crashed near Tirana was a claimed kill by the RViPVO at the time, but it was actually pilot error. 3. (Most important point) Pyrros, if Serbia came to a sudden halt, your head would be halfway up it's ass. Weak and soft? ROFL! God, I love how you make up stuff in defence to make yourself look big. Or maybe you just didn't have anything to say to me? But hey, can't question the hero, right? BTW, reconciliation? I didn't think your dictionary was that advanced. Good on you hero, very good. Dude, you actually care about that? Shows how pathetic you are, haha.

Hmm wrong. Greece does Shipping/Agriculture/banking and tourism. BTW in my company we employ some Croats in the position of Gas Eng. You should see their face when i tell them about the greatness of Srbija. Greece is in terms of wealth the richest in the Balkans. but Greece does not have a strong economy. Greece is more succeptible to economic problems then Croatia. Also, there are significant problems to those industries you mention: - Shipping does not enmploy as many people as it did before and shipping relies on cheap foreign labour. I've heard from a Greek friend that shipping in Greece now employs more Pakistnai's then Greeks. Not only that shipping is easily succeptible to economic downturns, although at the moment that is not likely. - Tourism. Like shipping this industry now relies on cheap foreign labourers. 1/3 of all jobs in Greece are in agriculture and with few Greeks willing to work in thi sindustry it is relying on cheap Albanian migrants. not only that but 1/3 of the labour force works in this industry that is too high a figure for a developed economy and not only that but the agricultural land in Greece is not of the best quality. - Banking. Greece is not a major banking sector (cyprus is). Banking can create wealth but it concentrates wealth in a few hands. Look at Panama it has more banks per capita then Switzerland yet one could not argue that it is a wealthy and strong state economically. - Tourism. The kind of tourism Greece relies on is one of the industries most succeptible to economic downturns and it does not create a strong economy. Greece and Portugal have similar tourism industries and they are basically the weakest states in the EU economically.

You should get your facts straight. Alija was doing anything to make Yugoslavia stay. He and Kiro Gligorov tried to make a confederation, everyone said Yes, Serbs said No, they tried to make a federation, everyone said Yes, Serbs said No. What choice did we have. A country has a right to renew it’s statehood, noone can deny that right. JNA tried to keep the country in one piece? How, by occupation of a recognized foreign country? How were Serbs threatened? They had their representatives in the government even after they declared the Serbian Republic of BiH. As for “Serbs were in front of a possible unpleasant situation of being ethnic minorities in their own country”, I really don’t understand that sentence, what should Bosniaks have done? Should they kill enough of their own people so that Serbs could be a majority? 1961: "Muslimani" = 842.248 (25,69%) 1971: "Muslimani" = 1.482.430 (39,57%) 1961: Yugoslavs: 275.883 (8,42%) 1971: Yugoslavs: 43.796 (1,17%) 1961: Serbs: 1.406.057 (42,89%) 1971: Serbs: 1.393.148 (37,20%) Yeah, those Serbs must be Yugoslavs. Bosniaks always composed the largest percentage of Yugoslavs, but you wouldn’t know that since your wife didn’t tell you. The same reason why most Bosniaks still declare as Bosnians first. The fact that Bosniaks were cleansed and genocided out of RS doesn’t change the fact that RS is theirs as much as it is Serbs’. So many mistakes: 1. Every offer Alija made was to decentralize Yugoslavia even further (never keep it as it was, which was already incredibly decentralized). The offer he and Gligorov made was of a confederation on sovereign states, which is 1 small step away from independence. 2. Statehood cannot be 'renewed' when it NEVER EXISTED. Bosnia was never a country, unless we go back to the Middle Ages, which would be ridiculous. 3. According to the SFRJ Constitution, Bosnia's self-determination was tied to the self-determination of Bosnian Serbs. Bosnian Serbs had a veto on any separation from Yugoslavia. That veto was not respected. THAT is why Serbs were threatened in Bosnia. Their rights were not be respected, Muslims and Croats proved they were willing to overpower them. 4. The 1961 statistics are not proof of Yugoslav identity in 1991. Muslims declared as Yugoslavs in 1961 because their nation wasn't officially recognized. They quickly gave up on that by 1971. That doesn't mean Muslims declared as Yugoslavs in 1991 too, totally false logic. Fact of the matter is, it was mostly mixed backgrounds/couples who declared as Yugoslavs, in addition to a smaller number of pro-Yugoslav Serbs and Muslims.
