I appreciate you saying that. I am from the Balkans but from neither of these two countries and I was wondering whether you would say most of the people around you share your view. It is heartwarming to see humanist messages like yours, but I have the impression that much bigger part of the Balkans expresses more jingoistic nationalistic and xenophobic views.
- planetis 6y agoBalkans are a war torn region, I honestly don't share some of my compatriots, idiotic opinions about naming other countries. Although they haven't lived though let's say Sarajevo in the 90s, I hope we all realize, that war isn't the solution to disputes. To answer your question, I try to surround my self with educated people, not dogmatic morons.
- RealityVoid 6y agoI understand your sentiment, but, the flip side is that a strong military is a good safeguard for peace. I have this... Hard to formulate opinion that you should be prepared to prevail in violence but at the same time avoid it as much as possible.

- csunbird 6y agoIn times of peace, prepare for war.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoNot quite. It means 'If you want peace, prepare for war.'
