1. I'm not an author of this list. 2. You can contact the author to tell him you're right and his wrong, unfortunately his dead. 3. You can call this list conspiracy theory. 4. Yugoslavia was ZRJ ( FRY )than. 5. Who said the world was a so much better place with Milosevic in power?

Yugoslavia 1999-2000. Very serious list.

You really need to allow yourself growth and accept nuance in your world view. It's not always US bad - other side good. You're right, US is much better.

I don't want to derail this thread, so I send you p.m.

@The_Capt, thanks for Fruit Company link. Yes, you're right. ( Monsanto is a little different player ) I agree with what you wrote. Except :"The major problem we have with strategic narratives in countries with weaker democracies is that they tend to see US actions through their own lens" Sure, they see through their own lens, just like America sees from hers. Looks like more America's problem (lens). I noticed the lack of transparency is an early call for conspiracy.

Beardiebloke, thanks for reply. ( I gave you like ) I noticed that conspiracy theory for one country may become truth for another. For example;"Also that Covid wasn't really that bad and governments were scaremongering to control citizens". In my country Covid was bad and our goverment scaremongering to control citizens. Trust me, been there, saw that. "The gist of it is that US/NATO pushed Ukraine into a ware with Russia so that they could use the crisis to accelerate digitisation of the UKR government and then use Google/Azure/Amazon tech to control the country". Yeah, it sounds crazy. But when I noticed Blackrock and Monsanto presence in Ukraine ,I not so sure anymore. Wasn't there a case when american company has big banana plantations (don't remember which country), but they have problem with authorities, so CIA made a little coup (maybe this was also a conspiracy theory). I know Zelensky banned Russian-linked parties, but yesterday I checked opposition parties in Ukraine and I couldn't find any solid information abut them ( I know, I'm lazy ). My friend always says that 65% of conspiracy theory in the end become official theory. (Sorry for my limited vocabulary)

Such as?

Hmmmm ... manipulation?

I checked CV of German Navy Chef and I think Domazet's CV is a little different. "They still consider Ukraine to be somewhat incompetent, even though they don't state that directly" Well, time will tell ....

Tanks sent in Ukraine won't change anything said croatian admiral Davor Domazet -Lošo in his 2 hours interview. ( Problem - number of tanks and different systems ) ( I can send link, but interview is in croatian language.)

Even on the flag.

CMRT 2.12 / No problem with Hotseat

But maybe this is just the result of EU/US pressure regarding Kosovo.

Still after 30 years? I remember this .. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/frank-zappa-eastern-europe-vaclav-havel/

Did you know Germany pressed hard on Slovenia to send 28 pcs M55S and 35 pcs BVP M80A ( that was all we got ) in Ukraine? Germany was blocking deliveries ... maybe their own delivery , not for other ( smaller ) countries.

No, just the orchestra.... the musicians.

First, we have socialism not communism. Tito, Edvard Kardelj were communists, Tito president, Kardelj, father of self management system ( definitely useful for society that time ) Since YU was mix of several nations and religions, communists were focused more on building common culture. But if you want to see communism in all it's glory, than you have to look at Philharmonic Orchestra.

I'm from ex Yugoslavia, so I have a different view.
