..ever tried looking at a global map at a distance? I see one big piece of land, 3 medium, and 3 small pieces of land. All starts letter "A", with just one exception, which starts letter "G". Around 50 000 Inuits live there. Whatever made some random mountain range divide that big piece? I voted No on joining the European Union. North West Asia is fine enough for me.
..I served, off and on in the Royal Norwegian Airforce and Navy, ie; Nato, 1981 thru' 1984. I did not defeat the Soviet Union. I spent my 21 service months, flying model airplanes. So, I did not defeat the Soviet Union.
..two years after I left the RNoAF, I remember Communist Secretary General Michail Sergeyewich Gorbachev speaking of "glasnost" and "perestroyka", trying to reform the Communist Party and the Soviet Union to make these more efficient Instruments of Power. I don't know how, but somehow, the civilian Forrest Gump's not only in the US, but also the Nato members like Norway, got the idea "glasnost" and "perestroyka" meant global peace, nuclear disarmament, prosperity and democracy for the whole damned world. In 1986. Brilliant propaganda trick. Building a dream. Even I dreamed. I didn't belive in it, but I dreamed.
..in 1990 the Warsaw Pact countries started to leave it...and I started
to hope...and in 1991 the Soviet Union was left behind by Russia.....
..keep that in mind whenever talking to the decadent bankiers who helped fund the Communist Party and now want their money back from the Russian People.
..I failed You by not writing this in 1991. You, the Russian Nations, brought me Peace by defeating the Soviet Union and removing the nuclear war threat, so I owe You, a similar Favor, at the very least advice on building democracy and business law. After all, in many fields, You are going to catch up on 70 years of Industrial development, which will cost You sweat, but I see no point in You copying Our mistakes. I found much of the advice You received, subversive. The thruth is, I hoped I was wrong. That was wrong.
..I hope these words can help You, the Russian Nations, Serve Successfully
as Protective Power to Enforce the 4 Geneva Conventions of August 12'th
1949 and their Protocols Additional I & II, of June 8'th 1977, to make
sure Yugoslav Citizens or anyone on Yugoslav Soil, are Protected from All
War Crimes, and that any War Criminal face International Justice. Doing
this in, say Krashnoyarsk or Moscow might help convince the Serb People
that All, also including Nato member states Citizens, All Suspect War Criminals
should face a Fair Trial.
