    As Croatian, I totaly agree.
    Edit: My mistake, I wanted to comment on comment above.
    There, fixed it.

    I can read Croatian and have watched the video interview.

    First of all, he did not say „let them take svalbard“. He spoke about geostrategy and made a comparison between Greenland and Svalbard marking the latter strategically more important. Even that wasn’t the point of him making the comparison.

    I’m disgusted by the media coverage. He literally had given a brief 20 minute lecture on his geopolitical insights and the editor decided to pull this low IQ headline out of context.

    Incredible the times we’re living in.

    Any Coratians here who can explain why he would say such a thing ?

    I mean seems totaly unnecessary.

    Apart from the fact that Svalbard is Norwegian in most important ways, there is no indigenous population that can be tempted with (cheap) bribes to become American.

    But it points to an important topic: The 1925 Svalbard treaty should be ammended (or scrapped) so Norway can throw the Russians out.

    What’s with the balkans always having such crazy lunatic leaders? lmao

  6. he’s a yapper and shouldn’t be taken seriously. when he was prime minister, he said that he would never be president, that he wasn’t interested in the position. then he became president. when he visited an area hit by floods, while talking to a local resident who had lost everything, he said that he knew what it was like for them because he had a broken pipe in his apartment and they couldn’t get the wooden floors to dry

    There is an interesting aspect to the suggestion (which I understand was never really made), in that it would put the US in direct conflict with Putin under Russia’s treaty rights, give it a position much closer to Russia, and not co-opt a native people’s right to self-determination.
