Here's my Croatian Roman Catholic perspective:

Kosovo cannot be compared to either Croatia or Bosnia-Hercegovina since Kosovo is and always has been an integral part of Serbia. Serbian outrage is more than justified in this case and the fact that the USA along with its friends did an end run around UN 1244 (which guaranteed Kosovo as part of Serbia) shows to the world the actual value of the "Western guarantee". International law has been subverted and Pandora's Box has been opened.

All this so that the USA can have a base in Kosovo with which to further surround Russia.

Is it really worth it?

I think that the declaration of independence by Kosovo is going to give Putin the opportunity to show that Russia is still a power to be reckoned with. Kosovo may be 90% Muslim today, but if history is any indicator, it may be 10% Muslim by this time next year.

Our recognition of Kosovo is a direct slap in the face to Serbia and Russia. Russia would like nothing more than to re-exert it's influence in Eastern Europe and this gives them a legitimate excuse to do so.

Hold on to your hats gang. WWIII may have just begun.

Bravo, Dio! It takes a proper man to acknowledge the truth, even when it is hard to do so. Kudos! Hvala!
