Serbia is a close second, in my opinion. It's just a simpler version of The Emperors hymn by Haydn, with lyrics that consist of begging god to save the country. The fact that it replaced the old anthem (Hey, Slavs) irritates me to no end. We used to be a country tito

The Americans had enough juice and a team consisting of superstars that managed to just push them over the edge. A little bit more luck and a bit of brain in the refs heads would have sent us through, but alas. I'm still very proud of our boys though, hopefully we get the bronze.

In their defence, maybe they didn't think that they had much of a choice regarding this attack. Russian bloggers have been saying that their side was amassing forces in that area since the penetration into the Kharkov region. This might be a sort of situation where they attacked preemptively.

Sorry comrade, but nothing ever happens. Them's the rules.

His anti-EU statements are only statements and there's not a lot of bite behind the bark, ultimately. The only times he does something that isn't 100% neolib bs is when it goes against public opinion in Serbia so much that it would be political suicide to do the opposite. One thing you have to understand is that the public here is massively against western imperialism (particularly NATO) and he is an EU client. So he has to do this balancing act, where he is forced to make moves that aren't totally awful is because of that. In return he gets to rule the country like a Batista, Somosa, Noriega etc. and not be considered a dictator by the "freedom-loving" EU.

Thanks to being a little dictator, our foreign policy also deeply depends on him, and he has not proven to be a negotiator in any capacity, being fully humiliated by the US, EU and Kosovo. The Serbian Progressive Party also can not offer any other cadre to replace him in that role because it's a bunch of the dumbest, most servile clowns gathered around him. Thanks to those two reasons there is no hope for Serbia to escape the EU's grip in the near future.

spoilerI went with Italy first because of the cars, I didn't know Spain exported so many of them. I thought they only had SEAT, but I guess they have some foreign factories as well.

Hopefully a multipolar world order allows SA do that, since we won't be getting that in any world where a settler colony is the global hegemon

It seems to be legit actually, I found this article by gazeta.ru, which Wikipedia classifies as Russian state-controlled media claiming the same thing. In the article is this quote:

This was reported by the Grozny-Inform portal with reference to the Minister of Culture of Chechnya Musa Dadaev.

If someone here actually speaks Russian feel free to correct me though.

Another Kosovo update:

The firefight in North Kosovo ended a few hours ago. Three attackers were confirmed dead by the Serbian president. He also claims that one of the two (or three) arrested men in uniform is likely dead as well. Another four people were arrested for aiding the men with a radio. Kosovo's PM claims that the men came form Serbia proper, while Serbia's president claims that they were men form Serbian communities in Kosovo that had enough of the Albanian oppression. No new information is coming out now, so I have no idea about which side is telling the truth and don't want to speculate. We'll have to see what comes out tomorrow.

Kosovo update:

A firefight has broken out last night in North Kosovo. One police officer was killed, one wounded and another one was injured. The shootout is still ongoing and the information is currently quite sparse. Kosovo's PM says that around 30 heavily armed men were behind the attack and that they are currently surrounded.

Edit: Kosovo Police claim that one attacker has been killed.

Edit #2: Kosovo Police claim that another two attackers were killed and one was arrested. Serbia's president is expected to hold a press conference later today.
