So, are we going to talk about how Russia nearly killed both Zelenskyy and the Greek PM today while both of them went to a missile-damaged Orthodox Church?

A deadly Russian missile strike hit the Ukrainian city of Odesa on Wednesday during a visit by President Volodymyr Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis https://t.co/TUTTGfBFtA https://t.co/TUTTGfBFtA

I have been to Albania, it honestly was a hidden gem with the insane beaches and absurdly cheap prices and great food. Like everything, western tourism is destroying it now much as it has Croatia and Montenegro. Lake Ohrid in Macedonia is cool on the boarder. Beaches in the south are just like Greece at a 20th of the cost. People are extremely extremely friendly and were very happy to have an American tourist running around for obvious reasons. Watched the 2018 Euro finals there and they all cheered for Italy for obvious reasons. You can actually still hitchhike there safely and it is extremely acceptable. I had people inviting me into their homes and giving me raki. Love that country.

No kidding, I.....think mine is in a box at my mom's in the attic, and I may have to dig it out next time we are there.  Probably have to replace the spring, but holy shit that information would have been handy to have in the 80s.

They also have incredibly cool history specially with Tito who stood up to Stalin and really ran things his own way. For a Communist was willing to work with the West. Interesting stuff. The Balkans may be my favorite and most interesting part of the world to me. Still question if I fucked up not marrying that Serb gal. Men have made statutes that havent had her attributes.

I know a lot about Albania.

For example, it borders on the Adriatic.  Its land is mostly mountainous.  And its chief export is chrome.

First. Tito did not lead Albania. He ran Yugoslavia. Albania had their own leader. And they don't like the Serbs. Second. You never heard of the Balkan Ugly Bomb? Third. Beaches remain pristine since no one wants to invest in Albania. Haiti also has nice beaches. Fourth. Few Serbs in Albania.

Bro, are you sure you did not go to a different country?

Why can't I talk about multiple things, in one paragraph, about a geographic region at midnight after happy hour?

1.) I dated a Serbian girl who I met in Belgrade who was a real life 9.

2.) Tito is from Albania so I just used Albania but yes he ran all of Yugo. I should have been more specific but again HH.

3.) Mmm western tourism has massively picked up in Albania. When I first went, it was one of those place where people were like "wow what are you thinking" and NOW 20 year old Britrish girls on are going on solo trips there. It has changed. I am probably quite a bit younger than you but when Travel and Leisure and tiktok influencers are posting content about a place, it has changed.

Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

Um, no he is not. He is from Former Yugoslavia. I mean, it is cool you backpacked in the Balkans, I only spent 3 years living there and wrote a thesis on the regional history.

Tito was born to a Croat father and a Slovene mother in Kumrovec in what was then Austria-Hungary. Drafted into military service, he distinguished himself, becoming the youngest sergeant major in the Austro-Hungarian Army of that time.

I know it has, thanks in part to the Italian Mafia.

It's official, bitches. Sweden is finally in (as are Albania and Montenegro, but notably not Serbia).

Sweden Enters NATO, a Blow to Moscow and a Boost to the Baltic Nations
With the addition of Sweden to NATO, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia finds himself facing an enlarged and motivated alliance.

Sweden formally joined NATO on Thursday, becoming its 32nd member two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and sharply bolstering, with Finland, the military alliance’s deterrent in the Baltic and North Seas.

With the addition of the new Nordic member states — Finland joined last year — the president of Russia, Vladimir V. Putin, now finds himself faced with an enlarged and motivated NATO, one that is no longer dreaming of a permanent peace but instead facing years of trying to contain a newly aggressive, imperial Russia.

On Thursday, after months of uncertainty caused by the hesitations of Turkey and Hungary, Sweden officially became a member by depositing its legal paperwork — its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty — with the U.S. State Department in Washington.

In a brief ceremony, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken received the documents from Ulf Kristersson, the Swedish prime minister, and said: “Good things come to those who wait.” Mr. Blinken said that “everything changed” after Russia’s invasion. “Swedes realized something very profound: that if Putin was willing to try to erase one neighbor from the map, then he might well not stop there.”

Mr. Blinken said Sweden’s membership was a clear example “of the strategic debacle that Ukraine has become for Russia,” adding: “Everything that Putin sought to prevent, he has actually precipitated by his actions, by his aggression.”

Mr. Kristersson said that “today is a truly historic day.” Sweden, he said, “will defend freedom together with the countries closest to us — both in terms of geography, culture and values.” He pledged that Sweden, which had largely dismantled its ground forces after 1989 but has maintained a powerful air force and navy, would soon reach NATO’s goal of spending 2 percent of G.D.P. on the military.

NATO is planning a ceremony on Monday to raise the Swedish flag at its Brussels headquarters, as well as at NATO commands across Europe and North America.

Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary general, called it “a historic day.” In a statement, he said that “Sweden will now take its rightful place at NATO’s table, with an equal say in shaping NATO policies and decisions. After over 200 years of nonalignment Sweden now enjoys the protection granted under Article 5, the ultimate guarantee of allies’ freedom and security.”

Sweden, he continued, “makes NATO stronger, Sweden safer and the whole alliance more secure.”

The Russian government has said that it will now take undefined measures to enhance its own defense against the newly enlarged NATO, which has, with Sweden and Finland, a much longer land border with Russia than before.

“Sweden brings predictability, removing any uncertainty about how we would act in a crisis or a war,” said Robert Dalsjo, director of studies at the Swedish Defense Research Agency. Given Sweden’s geography, including Gotland, the island that helps control the entrance to the Baltic Sea, membership “will make defense and deterrence much easier to accomplish,” he said.

After Russia’s full-scale invasion two years ago, Finland, with its long border with Russia, saw the most imminent danger. The Swedes did, too, but were also convinced, especially on the political left, by a sense of moral outrage that Russia, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, would seek to destroy a peaceful, sovereign neighbor.

“Overall the feeling is that we’ll be safer,” said Anna Wieslander, a Swede who is director for northern Europe for the Atlantic Council.

With Sweden and Finland together in NATO, it will be much easier to bottle up the Russian surface navy in the Baltic Sea and to monitor the High North. Russia still has up to two-thirds of its second-strike nuclear weapons there, based on the Kola Peninsula.

Sweden, with its own advanced high-tech defense industry, makes its own excellent fighter planes, naval corvettes and submarines, designed to operate in the difficult environment of the Baltic Sea. It has already begun to develop and build a new class of modern submarines and larger corvettes for coastal and air defense.

With NATO membership, it will be easier now to coordinate with Finland and Denmark, which also have key islands in the Baltic, and with Norway.

Sweden may also join NATO’s multinational forward brigade in Latvia, intended to put allied troops in all the alliance countries bordering Russia.

Sweden’s main tasks, Ms. Wieslander said, will be to help guard the Baltic and the airspace over Kaliningrad; to ensure the security of Gothenburg, which is key for resupply and reinforcements; and to serve as a staging area for American and NATO troops, with agreements for the advance positioning of equipment, ammunition, supplies and field hospitals.

I get what you're saying. But here you make it sound like bragging.

It's also helpful to spend time on the thread. It doesn't take long to realize that InkaUtexas can be very humble, but he in fact knows quite a bit more than nearly all of the rest of us. It's not necessary to kiss his feet Rabban style, but if you're going to get into a factual argument with him, you'd best have an airtight understanding of exactly what you're saying.

Well, yeah, the Italians gave King Zog the push in 1939. An Albanian just isn't gonna forget something like that.
