Documentary Video - Kosovo / Albania
- Thread starter Riflechair
- Start date
Wow, thanks riflechair! Saw a k98, sks's, ak47s, and some ppsh43 knockoffs.
IMHO, hes doing it for a right cause. Kosovo has a large majority of ALbanians, and there is no reason for the UN to still be in there.
That guy has a good head on his shoulders, thats for sure, damn cunning. He usses commie bashers a lot, which i found funny, as he supported Kerry(for obvious reasons). Whats surprising is how easy it is to smuggle weapons if you have access to a steady supply of cash. From what I saw of Albania in the vid its a very beautiful place!
And as for you who cant read dutch, the final script said that in 2003, the UN wanted to disarm the Kosovans of their 300,000 weapons, in exchange for money. It says only 155 weapons were handed in!

well, i'm guessing that it won't be hard to tell why i'm saying this but, would everyone here like the Quebecois to start up a militia, arm themselves to their teeth and start terrorizing the minority of Anglophones? Oh, and Albania is indeed a beautiful country. I just wonder why it isn't beautiful enough for Albanians. I guess Serbia is more to their liking.
Same old story. Let an ethnic group move in and within a generation or so, they think they own the place and try to take it over or change it to be more like the sh!thole they left in the first place.
Canada should be learning a lesson from that ass-backwards situation, but sadly I doubt we are. Yes, Taliban Jack, I am mostly referring to you and your ilk

Just in case admins are wondering why I posted this here in the milsurp forum...
Ethnic Muslims were/are arming a significant portion of their resistance fighters with military surplus weaponry gathered and paid for by a very diverse spectrum of providers. A lot of what we call surplus weaponry is still front line issue in various struggles on our little planet.
Just something to think about.
I did not post this for political reasons.
Just an insight to this side of the story.

Hehe, what I found funny were the two Jewish brothers selling the uniforms. It just seemed very stereotypical! The resiliance of weaponry surprises me. The fact of the matter is that a guerilla army armed with slapped together K98 snipers can still exact a heavy toll on the most modern army. A well trained force with bolt action rifles could still hold its own, expecially in such mountainous regions, where an 8mm cartridge would be much more effective than an army armed with AK47's even.
Its a bit more complicated over there. Before WW2 the Serbs wanted to create greater Serbia. They fought the Albanians and Croats, and vice versa. Many massacres were perpetraited by all sides, but from what I have heard many thousands of Serbs were killed. In WW2 there was the Partisans (under Tito) that was lead by a croat, but had many people of Serb and albanian ethnicity also. Then there was also the Ustasi (pro german croat nationalists) and the Chetniks who were pro German Serbian nationalists. They all commited atrocities against one another. Apparently Tito's partisans killed 30,000 ustasi members in the last month of the war, many of them women and children. They also killed many Serbs, and vice versa. In the end it is a very complicated mess. Perhaps it would have been better to let them sort themselves out. I prefer Tito to all of this. He was pretty capable of keeping Yugoslavia together, and he wasnt bias in favor of the croats either.

Yeah, it amazing what you can accomplish by being an iron-fisted dictator who will imprison and/or liquidate anyone who does not toe the line. Tito kept the peace alright...f_soldaten04 said:
As an outsider I would say that many of these people are crazy... crazy with hatred of "the other" ethnic group.
And to think WW1 was started in that very neighbourhood by some of these people. Of course that was not their intention, but nonetheless...
It's all very sad.
Yes, very true, but just look at what started to happen when he died! During his rule Yugoslavia did OK, and was an open country for a communist dictatorship. If he wasnt there, the Russians whould have been there. Tito was the lesser of two evils.
I say this as an outsider, and the hate between the groups is often understandable. My opinion is based on outside observation, after all, and not as someone who has experienced the violence there from any angle.
