Hot off the wire from Croatia

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NancyBlueINOklahoma (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

The Right-Wing in Croatia is in the process of organizing a Coup to overthrow the elected Government of Croatia within the next 2 Months.
22% Unemployment and a devastated economy has left the country ripe for political unrest. According to the contact., the population is heavily armed. They estimated that every other home has an automatic weapon, so things will get hot very quickly when it goes down.
The history of the Right is a long one. Those of you who remember the 'Rat Line' set up by the Nazi SS and the Vatican, used Croatia as a transit point to enable War Criminals to escape prosecution..

Will update as more information comes in.

She was fun and nice and I ended up mingling with her friends.

After a couple of months, some Serbians started to gather together at another area of the commons.

This is way back when Tito had just died and the country he held together was starting to unravel.

After a while, they started taunting each other, throwing stuff around. They were crazy. I took stock of my chances with Lilly and thought better of it and decided to start cultivating another group of Friends.
