Within this year, Kosovo expects to launch its own army, to be called the Kosovo Security Force (KSF). Compared to other military forces in Europe, the KSF will be small and lightly equipped; its size will be limited to 2,500 active troops and 800 reserves. It will be primarily responsible for crisis response, explosive ordinance disposal and civil protection.
The plans are to develop the force out of a current emergency response organisation, the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC). Established eight years ago under UNMIK and KFOR supervision, it is involved in activities such as firefighting, search and rescue and medical assistance. Financial support comes from donors such as the United States, United Kingdom, France and the European Commission.
The KPC is essentially unarmed, with only 200 of its members authorized to carry weapons. Many in the KPC, however, came from the now-disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), and their military experience could provide the backbone for what will someday be the army of Kosovo.

Wouldn't surprise me with the rest of the weird little voices you've got chirping in your head!
Wherever there’s a mangy cur, one is sure to find also a rutting bitch in heat.
Boo!!!! Look behind you, there’s a KBG agent and has your ED medication.
That is way out of line, TGJ. We may give each other a hard time, but that's crossing the line!
That’s the pet name for his inflatable partner.
You two can knock it off or take some time off.
Your choice.
That’s going too far. You can disagree, but please be at least more or less civil.
Or perhaps they’ve used the yu. domain name for so long, they’ve decided to keep it. I don’t think that anyone outside of a few kooks still dreams of a “Greater Serbia”, it any still do after all that’s happened.
You’re conversing with an irrational person, logic only angers him more.
More likely they can't financially afford to change it with everything else they have going on.
Well, it sure smells as if there’s one around here.
If only our anti-Serb posters were more honest about their motivations, they’d be quoting from jihad.org or dhimmitude.com.
Supporting Kosovo was a bad idea from the beginning. It damaged European security at the expense of American taxpayers while it enriched Democrat donors like George Soros.
You've got it wrong on this one TJ.
I concur that totalitarianism is the goal, and by laying the groundwork through obviously flawed domestic and foreign policy and so orchestrating conflict and disaster (more of both still coming), totalitarianism will not be so much imposed upon masses yearning to be free as demanded by huddled wimps who 'just want to feel safe'.
Natural disasters just serve to amplify that, although the only thing which humans can do there is set the stage for a catastrophe through policy and wait for the problem to happen.
Both Parties are infused with those who work toward these totalitarian aims, often through seemingly innocuous 'minor' policy edicts and regulations with the force of law, which is why it seems that no matter who wins an election, the results are pretty much the same.
Even the peasant revolutions of Communism were manipulated and orchestrated from the top down, moreso than even the participants knew, and to the benefit of a few.
Regardless of the label placed on it, or the attempt to clearly attribute it to any political spectrum, the goal is the same: control of the masses and their resources by a few on a global scale.
Your comment in post 22 to Bokababe was disgusting and uncalled for. You need to have the decency to retract your statement and apologize.
There is a huge difference in offensiveness between what the somewhat offensive things Bokababe said about Tailgunner Joe and the flat out vulgar things that he called her.
Thank you. This, unfortunately has been building for while with TGJ & me. I am not proud of the fact that I ultimately started responding in kind and it got to the point that he said something like this.
But I did NOT call in the moderator, hoping that TGJ would realize that he had crossed the line on his own. The moderator intervened anyway -- and that's OK, I'll gladly take the hit too if it means we can stop name-calling and insulting each other and just stick to dealing with the issues at hand.
Imho, that would do it.
Whether economic collapse, subversion, or blood in the streets, all can be 'managed' from on high. Look at the way the Feds managed to take the depression of the 30s and extend it with poor policy, in a day and age when few enough ran on credit, and most went to church on Sundays.
Now, with the current dependency mindset, there would be riots and hell to pay.
A few of the 'right' appointments and a few anti-constitutional laws and SCOTUS rulings and we have real tyranny or civil war.
A few more and the dollar goes right down the crapper, and we are in recievership as a nation.
Either works from a global standpoint to neutralize the US.
And then we have the invasion of illegal aliens in progress, which alone might be enough.
