Re: Changes in Bosnia? (4.00 / 3)
That sounds like a good idea.

The major problem is that it would lead to a long-term solution which in turn would eliminate NATO's ability to pressure - one side or another - to... enter NATO, provide NATO with bases, buy Western weapons, provide men for NATO's adventures in foreign lands, provide advantageous terms of trade to Western firms, ...

The Machiavellian concept is nothing new.

I forgot another favourite one: extortion of funds for political campaigns... if you pay for my campaign, I'll lobby for your independence, or whatever else it is that you want.
