Why Tony Rothschild and Bill Rhodes vs Yugoslavia equals what were the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs to the USSR as what Camp Bondsteel less dramatically also asserts to Russia, but assert it does. Granted, there was an air of the rhetorical in your question. And, strategically speaking, just like Brussels is the northern hotbed for centralized slow-to-build intrigue, attracting long term residents such as Nuland/Kagan, its "Stone's Throw Kosovo" is central to immediate finger-flicking, rage-filled, passions-inciting, ethnic animosities erupting from as little as placing the wrong accent on a whispered word. Location! Location! Location! The Neighborhood that has it All!

I've been keyboard geo-flitting about over the past year, searching for a nice temperate climate with a low cost-of-living in which I might sink further into my senescence providing for me a nice and quiet fadeaway. Georgia has been on my short list, my own Final Four. Now? Hmm...

I do not look forward with any sort of anticipation to reliving the trials and traumas of that region's previous century, sometimes living here in the belly of the offending beast is ultimately of the least effort and for the most boring returns. The last of which is my ideal.

That said knowing there are many potential forms of Hell to pay, even those in a Black Swan way.

And coming soon (already here) to the USA. The illegals to diffuse any concerted, if unlikely centralized (effective) populism; this done while providing an 'Otherizing' focal point that keeps a significant number of meaningful change-bringers off balance and fractured. Which of course means 'weak,' just the way They want us. nop. They're several steps ahead this time, I'm having trouble seeing how to bend oncoming history considering they know our thoughts even as we type them out. Or they will be turned over as per law, one reason I dropped my Proton account. If they're interested in you. . . .

Enough rambling.

Do tell: ". . . . On the other hand it has a big neighbour to the north, Russia, and another to the east, Turkey."

That's the second time you've stated so. I thought I'd mentioned it to you before, sometime last year. Or maybe I forgot---or you didn't respond to my emailed entreaty.

Neighbours, as we all know, are the toughest nut... impossible to escape without inconvenience.

Remaining footloose has its advantage - rent and you can move. Georgia is getting more expensive but it is still much more manageable than the West.

Letting go of personal financial considerations, is not the answer to the globalist migrant swamp for us to move, too? To become as free as the people they think will disturb us - it loses its power if we just up and move ... to their land! Afghanistan, Syrian, Pakistan.. why not!

This is precisely what our ancestors did when the pot got hot.

No-one went to the Americas in the 1500 or 1600s in a spirit of comfort - only of defiance!

Have to admit I got a chuckle out of the being proactive element, to be a confound-er rather than a confound-ee has merit, aye. I'm still relatively untouched here in coastal Alaska, but the oppressive nature of what has already been set in motion. . . . Being in the belly of it already but far removed, the question being is it far enough. And if I might still sail away in any direction as chronology erodes what I once knew as ability. Shall see, soon enough. Thanks for the comeback.

Oh. The cryptic note re: geography. Is not Turkiye much more to the south than the east as twice described?
