Why are Serbian people so hated:?
I am a Serbian and proud. Although I live in Canada, I visit there every summer and speak only in Serbian with my family so I'm fluent in the language. Whenever I go there during the summer I have the most amazing time of my life! I meet amazing people, see my family, go to parties every weekend. I must say it's an amazing place and I see nothing wrong with it. But as I go there every summer, I learn more and more about our past and history and whats really going on... I know this really isn't my personal problem but it's bothering me alot... Pretty much the whole world thinks we are disgusting, terrorizing people who kill Albanians , Croatians, Bosnian's etc... That is absolutely not true. I'm not saying we are perfect, I mean yeah obviously Serbians killed them but during the war... they killed us too, That's usually how wars go. You kill your "enemy" and at that time they were our enemies... It's gone ... IT'S THE PAST. Right now when I think about Croatians and Bosnians I see no problem! They were involved in a war during the 90's and it's over... everyone is happy now and they have what they want ... right? No... Kosovo Abanians are kicking innocent Serbians out of Kosovo which used to be ours just a couple of years ago... and claiming it's their land... They are doing everything possible to get rid of the Serbian's in that area... exaple, they get their 5 year old sons to rape 5 year old Serbian girls in KINDERGARDEN because they can't get arrested since their infants... they kill us, they rape us, and what do we do? WE LEAVE KOSOVO. And that my friends, is why the majority of Kosovo is Albanian. 1999 Americans came and bombed Belgrade... Capital of Serbia... over 1 000 000 is the population , and kill thousands of people... most being children... why? Because the Americans think we are the bad people. We kill the Albanians. OH MY GOD. It just makes me so angry! I go to school and I have people look at me in disgust because I'm Serbian!? Why do people hate us so much? Why? We are not bad people...
Why doesn't NATO bomb Russia for invading Ukraine?
Simply put,NATO just doesn't have the resources or the man power to engage in such an undertaking.Russia whatever its economic state ,which is by the way as a result of mostly NATO members trying to make sure Russia doesn't get so big ,is quite so big and with many nuclear weapons that the west just cannot fail to think of what would happen if Russia just got mad and decided to use its nuclear arsenal.Don't get me wrong ,I do not think NATO has the capacity to even win a war against Russia conventionally,look at the mess they left in Libya,Iraq jeez these were once very huge countries with economic potential.they have been turned into failed states with armies that are not that far from being incompetent,running and leaving your arms and all weaponry to ISIS members in Iraq.what a shadow of the former republican guard under Sadam,the dictator.Russia is something out of the impossible to fully crack so those with dreams of destroying or turning Russia into a Libya,impossible.U destroyed the Soviet Union and imagined that perhaps Russia will or would end up as a failed state.U never anticipated a Putin coming up to bring his nation from the ruins of the cold war to a medium sized economy with all the mass militarily of the big so called nations.
What was the conflict/war between the Bosnians and Serbians?
I was wondering what the civil war was about between the Serbians and Bosnians in Bosnia (or it might have been Serbia). They made a movie about it (Behind Enemy Lines I think). I just get a little confused on who was in charge and who wasn't. I was wondering if anybody could give me a breif discription of the conflict (war, etc) and the names of the guys who were charged and put in jail for war crimes?
What was the purpose of NATO?
To unite the defensive military efforts of the nations of Western Europe and North America against the threat of Soviet expansion into Western Europe. Ultimately, to deter Soviet aggression by making the small nations of Western Europe and the expeditionary armies of the UK and the US into a single military entity capable of defeating the Soviet threat in a defensive war. In more recent years, it has become more plainly a mutual security alliance which enables military cooperation among its member nations, and is no longer pointed mainly at the Russians (although one suspects they might disagree).
GATTACA, movie question please help!?
I watched the movie for my biology:human heredity class, but couldn't quite answer 4 questions, so if anyone could please help! 1. Vincent's genetic life is told immediately after being born, do you think DNA tests can be so accurate over so many broad developmental topics? What have we learned that proves that our DNA is just the start and doesn't predict the outcome? Use a genetic principle for gene expression to explain. 2.The real Jerome comments on the burden of perfection, why do you think the burden of perfection was too much for the real Jerome to deal with? 3.In the movie there are genetic testing kiosks with people testing DNA on the spot, do you think this is feasible in the near future? What is Irene trying to uncover by testing Vincent's DNA profile? 4.In the end, what is symbolized when Vincent beats Anton in the 2nd swim challange, saving him again?
Does Russian people loves Serbia as a country and serbian people?
Quite so. Truly, Russians do love Serbia, at least about fifty different Russians I've managed to talk to over the last 25 years have always considered the place warmly and its people as a friendly nation. This liking was made stronger after the so-called 'independence declaration' of Kosovo in 2008, when the Russians felt compassion and sadness for an already crippled and decimated former Yugoslavia that always sided with Russia on everything and was punished by the West in the most horrible ways for refusing to become yet another deeply obedient NATO base, by the 1999 bombings and the resulting problems in the Kosovo region.Russians feel a kinship with Serbia additionally due to their use of the cyrilic writing system, and of them being mainly orthodox, and, though heavily influenced by the Ottoman Empire throughout their history, they managed to remain strong ethnically, which is a trait which Russians value very highly - to keep your own cultural identity despite being under the influences of whoever crosses your path or rules temporarily in your land.Another reason is simply based on the principle of 'return liking', as I call it: if you are liked and revered by somebody, you tend to like and revere those that like you. Russians feel that in light of recent political developments, where most geographically close former 'brother nations' (Ukraine, the Baltic States, the much-helped Poland - although the Poland topic in the eyes of a Russian begs its own separate discussion; it's a very interesting case of what one may call slyness) tended to split and join enemy forces such as NATO and, now, the EU, Serbia has remained a signpost of pro-Russian expression, and therefore this is something where Russians say 'at least some people understand us fully and agree with us.'And last but not least perhaps now due to the situation with Ukraine's willing cultural departure from the periphery of Russia and its desire to unite with a deeply foreign (if not enemy) culture (Europe with its eternal antagonies to the Russian world) Serbia, I think, alongside Belarus has more chances of becoming an even closer brother than it was before. Perhaps the only issue in this case is distance. Serbia has now become geographically sandwiched among nations that mainly oppose its views and affiliations.
