Now when some of them starts getting their foot in the system you got Trump and MAGAs.

This is why the whole history of, say, Europe involves almost no wars between neighbors with large amounts of trade just before the war, right?


Not strong enough, they don't put their moneyed folks and multinational CEOs as the stakeholder in the state. I'm sure they will be more level headed than some jaded Junkers. Pretty sure they would understand that it's a waste of wealth and time to cater some commotion in the Balkan.
