    but it was no longer their soil.

    sending armed soldiers is an invasion.

    Hello signalmankenneth,

At some point, the mystic chords of memory transmogrify into mutual disgust and incomprehension.

    At that moment, the us is over.

    For Yugoslavia, that moment came sometime in the late 1980s when the ubiquitous phrase “brotherhood and unity”—bratstvo i jedinstvo—no longer held sway among the majority.

    Nationalist populists were coming to the fore in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and other republics.

    Economic gaps between those republics were growing untenable. Cultural practices increasingly diverged, and buried resentments resurfaced.

    Actual civil war would come later, in 1991. But before Yugoslavia ceased to exist on paper, before it was extinguished on the battlefield, it disappeared from people’s hearts.

    Here in the United States, we’ve not yet reached another Fort Sumter moment. But perhaps we’re at the Harpers Ferry stage with the January 6 insurrection serving the same function as John Brown’s thwarted raid on a federal arsenal in 1859.

    Brown’s raid came 18 months before the start of the Civil War. We are now observing the one-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection.

    Is there no longer an us in the U.S.?

    Basically, extremism has been mainstreamed into the Republican Party.

    Republicans are now dictating their terms:

    Either they win, or they will destroy America.

    They simply refuse to allow a fair election to result in them losing. They refuse to live in a free country where either party can win an election.

    Figures you would lament the passing of communist/socialist yugoslavia, comrade Ken. One thing I found out about that place after 3 deployments between 1991 and '93 was that it is difficult to force “brotherhood and unity” down someone's throat when centuries of "leave me the fuck alone or I'll fucking fuck you up" is the ingrained culture. (Except maybe for the serbs, those guys were basically nazis.) So, you had all those evil fucks ethnically cleansing the living hell out of each other because the communist boot was off their necks. Do you see America becoming a paradise of equality and prosperity under a communist/socialist boot?

    nobody said a think about the south checking out. it was only when they were negotiating things like these isolated forts now no longer in the boundaries of the country they were once part of.
    South Carolina was never Not part of the USA they were in rebellion against the legal government.
