NATO is a turd circling the bowl, andI could care less what the beltway eunuchs have to say. This Scots-Irish man sides with the Serbs. My view is that the Serbs need to “diversify” Kosovo with their precense.

Another failed attempt at nation building. Whatever happened to minding our own business?
