Montenegro became the 29th member of NATO on 5 June 2017.

Modern colonialism. Why is no one screaming about this like they do and did about past colonialism.

“… entered into a deal with a Chinese state-owned construction company to build a 270-mile-long highway. Now, with only 25-miles extending from nowhere to nowhere built, the debt is coming due ”

Sounds like Montenegro needs to call Gov. Newsom for some advice….

"And if the ignoramus Woke folks in the USA ever know a country with this name exists, the first thing they’ll demand is for Montenegro to change its offensive name.

I think there may still be eight or nine American high school English departments that teach The Great Gatsby, which briefly mentions Montenegro in passing.

The legendary Nero Wolfe was Montenegrin.

All Montenegro needs to do is to bribe a few Democrats (or “contribute” to their charitable foundations) to get money in the infrastructure bill to pay off Montenegro’s debt to China. That would be particularly attractive to the Democrats because it would mean US taxpayer dollars ending up in Chinese hands.
