    Yugoslavia was a Soviet Socialist Republic, until the Soviet fell. That's pretty "Russian" from a geopolitical point of view. It's Russian enough for the Dems who want to demonize Russia, and Trump. Anything on the other side of the old Iron Curtain counts.

    You've once again shown your ignorance, Runaway. Perhaps you should learn a little about what you're talking about before spouting off. [wikipedia.org]

    Here's a taste for you [wikipedia.org]:

    Historically, the current territory of Slovenia was part of many different state formations, including the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, followed by the Habsburg Monarchy. In October 1918, the Slovenes exercised self-determination for the first time by co-founding the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. In December 1918, they merged with the Kingdom of Serbia into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929). During World War II, Slovenia was occupied and annexed by Germany, Italy, and Hungary, with a tiny area transferred to the Independent State of Croatia, a Nazi puppet state.[48] Afterward, it was a founding member of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, later renamed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, a communist state which was the only country in the Eastern Bloc never a part of the Warsaw Pact. In June 1991, after the introduction of multi-party representative democracy, Slovenia split from Yugoslavia and became an independent country.[5] In 2004, it entered NATO and the European Union; in 2007 became the first formerly communist country to join the Eurozone;[49] and in 2010 joined the OECD, a global association of high-income developed countries.[50]

    Once again, it's clear that you're talking out of your ass.

    I'll give you an analogy (sorry, no cars involved) and I'll use small words so you'll be sure to understand:

    IIRC you're in Arkansas, right?

    Arkansas was part of the Confederacy. By your logic, that makes you a racist proponent of human slavery and a traitor to the United States right?

    Good job!
