Zagreb, October 1999. Croatia vs Serbia, the first meeting since the war. A German TV crew followed both camps through the build up. Just over 27 hours before kick-off, Croatia arrive for their final session: Bokšić, Šuker, Jarni, Boban, plus the Kovač brothers and Soldo from the Bundesliga. A draw is enough for Serbia.Croatia must win. Then the Serbians arrive. Mihajlović, Mijatović, Stanković, Savićević, a squad still called "the lost generation". Vujadin Boškov faces 400+ journalists, calm and smiling. "Even the most passionate crowd can become a burden for its own team. Besides, a draw is enough for us." The day before the match, in a stadium corridor, Croatia's Milan Rapaić runs into Boškov, and the two joke and laugh together. The most striking words come from Croatia's assistant coach Ivan Kalinić: during the war they trained in Split, 200 metres from a barracks, hearing the shells land. "I never want to experience anything like that again. Never again." Match day. 40,000 fans, 5,000 security staff around a half built Maksimir. Every car searched for explosives, every fan frisked down to their undershirts. On the pitch, old teammates meet. Šuker, Mihajlović, Bokšić, handshakes and smiles. Serbian anthem is drowned out by boos. Final score: 2-2. Croatia's dream ended at the Maksimir, and Serbia got exactly what Boškov had promised: the draw that sent them to Euro 2000. Football as a mirror of the 1990s Balkans. Rare, period footage.

IMO, the U.S. should intervene if it becomes clear that Louvre is about to fall to rioters. Launch airstrikes on Paris, call up and threaten Macron, I don't really care. But Louvre shouldn't fall to rioters in any case. That is not just French history in there. That's Western history. If the French fail to protect it, somebody needs to intervene.

The destruction of irreplaceable works of art and architecture is second only to suicide in moral depravity. It is a premeditated act of murder which obliterates living history, trashes the transcendental and impoverishes entire civilizations. It should carry the death penalty.

I care more about saving this statue than about the fate of the entire Third World.

Bukele: "Hay un movimiento mundial de destruir a las sociedades. No es una teoria de conspiracion. Cuando aqui mataban 30 personas diarias nadie decia nada. Nadie se pronunció. Ni organizaciones de derechos humanos. Antes cuando los delincuentes hicieron un acuerdo con el gobierno, la OEA los aplaudió, vino y se reunió con los pandilleros. Lo avaló hasta la Iglesia. Y cuando nosotros dijimos "no vamos a negociar con terroristas" todos se horrorizaron. Cual es el verdadero objetivo de estas organizaciones y ong internacionales? Por que solo se preopcupan por los derechos de los delincuentes?" x.com/nayibbukele/status/211…

For context: Indiana’s gas tax generates $1.85 BILLION annually. INDOT’s ENTIRE statewide capital budget for roads and infrastructure is only $2.2 BILLION. Indiana collects roughly $10 billion annually in property taxes to fund schools, police, fire departments, EMS, and municipal services. The $2 BILLION ESL bill ALONE is equivalent to TWENTY PERCENT of every property-tax dollar collected statewide. That doesn’t include SNAP, WIC, Section 8, Medicaid, or the countless other direct costs these parasites bleed you dry for. Nor does it account for the indirect costs of rising crime. overcrowded (failing) schools, strained public services, deteriorating neighborhoods, and rising housing prices. How much of Marion County has been rendered an inhospitable no-go zone by these savages? How many are now demanding the barbarian horde be granted access to your community’s “magic dirt?” How much psychic damage are good, heritage Hoosiers subjected to on a daily basis because every major roadway, town fair, farmer’s market, school event, and Costco has been terraformed into a third world bazaar? Hoosiers are constantly told there’s never enough money to fix our roads, lower property taxes, hire police officers, or maintain basic public services. Yet somehow, we can always afford to fund our own destruction at the hands of semi-sentient bio-weapons that do absolutely nothing for Indiana but drag it to hell like feral crabs in a bucket. There is not one, single problem in your life that would not be solved by denaturalizing and deporting 100 million people.
In case you are wondering why seemingly every school district in Indiana is having a referendum to increase school funding via property taxes, it’s largely because of this. Indiana taxpayers spend roughly 2 billion dollars on English As a Second Language students, and almost all of that is subsided by local residents via property taxes. Under Biden, the number of students who didn’t know English grew extremely rapidly, not it has mostly leveled off but it is a still a massive massive cost for local school systems.

Germany spent 400 billion Euros on 3rd world migrants since 2016. With that money they could have given every single German family with children a brand new house.
Für die 400 Milliarden Euro Migrationskosten seit 2016 hätte man übrigens jeder deutschen Familie mit Kindern unter 3 Jahren ein Einfamilienhaus schenken können.

Indianapolis Indiana used to one of the safer cities that you could walk around at night from place to place. That's not the case anymore. It's not safe to walk anywhere thanks to worthless Democrats in the Mayor's office, city council, and soft on crime prosecutors. Democrats have destroyed Indianapolis. Why/how anyone with a brain votes Democrat is beyond me.

We’re at a weird spot in our civilization. It’s somehow simultaneously more and less competent. The god computer can cure cancer but the nurse doesn’t speak English. The flock camera can find a missing child in 5 minutes but you get robbed by a guy with 30 priors.

Everyone loves civilization until civilization asks them to enforce the rules that keep barbarism outside the gate. The safest people in history have developed the strangest contempt for the very mechanisms that made them safe. You cannot demand protection from evil while treating every instrument capable of stopping evil as morally suspect. The hypocrisy of the soft West is wanting consequences to exist somewhere, somehow, without ever having to look at them. Public execution after due process is righteous, moral, and has a deterring effect. We have become so soft and weak on crime that any accountability feels like fascism. All of the fittest genetics in human history have brought you here to see this post here, now. You’ve descended from dangerous men. For God’s sake, act like it.

INDIANS are transferring their H1-B into EB-1 category to speed up the GREEN CARD process. @USLaborIG @USCIS @VP @DHSgov I hope you are noticing this. This should not get approved at all cost. Just deny their applications.

"Don't come back to india you will increase competition for indians, we want you to go to White countries and increase competition there so their people lose their jobs" This is not immigration it's war.
I am going to give a contrary, controversial, but pragmatic advise: If you an NRI with a stable job outside India, please don't go back. Surely go back to India if you are an entrepreneur who can create jobs, an innovator, or researcher. India needs you and India is booming with opportunities for you. But for the rest of us workers, it is better to stay outside as long as opportunities exist. Those calling you back won't give you the jobs you are qualified for. Even if they do, quitting jobs and going back to India will only increase competition for Indians in India unrealistically. It will reduce remittances and add to inflation in India. Also, I had posted this before and will say this again: If you are an Indian in India capable to get a job outside India, by all means take it. Nothing unpatriotic or bad about it as it's always made out to be. Enjoy your opportunity outside, keep India in heart always, and earn well to support family back home. Indian govt has signed numerous bilateral agreements recently for improve the ease of Indians getting visas to work and study abroad. Make use of the opportunities if you can.
