Serbia should have built a wall.
I have sent the following email to my US representative's office; others might wish to copy and send to their own:
I am concerned, and I believe there is a general concern amongst many Christians, that Donald Trump does not appear to understand a number of issues which involve Russia. These include the question of the Crimea, which has been part of Russia for most of the last several centuries other than for a brief period beginning in 1954 when control over Crimea was given to Ukraine by Nikita Khrushchev as a bureaucratic efficiency move at a time when everybody involved were citizens of the Soviet Union and it didn't matter; clearly after the breakup of the Soviet Union it has mattered. The people of Crimea, wanting no part of the illegal government which George Soros and Victoria Nuland established in Kiev with their color revolution, voted over 90% first to leave Ukraine and then to rejoin Russia.
In the case of Kosovo, a piece of land which had been part of Serbia for many centuries and contained many hundreds of Orthodox churches and monasteries and shrines was prised from Serbia by overwhelming NATO force and simply given to a bunch of narco terrorists and criminals in what I view as the worst misuse of US military force in the time which I have been alive on the planet. In order to achieve this, Bill Clinton bombed a totally innocent Slavic Orthodox Christian nation for 80 days and nights including Easter Sunday and, finally, threatened to annihilate the capital city of Belgrade. It appeared to many observers at the time that the prime motivations for this action were getting the stories of Chinagate and the Jaunick Broadrick rape allegation off of the front pages of American journals. There were reports of Clinton and a number of his toadies doing high-fives and talking about hitting a home run one week into the operation.
There is no way to expect Vladimir Putin to hand Crimea back to Ukraine or to be happy about anyone talking about an Independence Day for Kosovo. Articles which you read will, best case, convince Russian authorities that Donald Trump requires being educated, almost from the ground up, on these kinds of issues:
