Foreign Policy: Trump supporting Serbians were on hand to greet VP Joe Biden as he arrived in Serbia today and they’re sending a clear message, “Vote Trump.”
I guess they aren’t too happy with the foreign policy of the current administration and would prefer Trump over Hillary. Wearing T-shirts emblazoned with Trumps image and name, they carried signs reading “VOTE TRUMP” as they marched.
Their leader spoke…in Serbian (see video at link below).
Source: Gateway Pundit…the best of all advertising is still word of mouth…thanks Jim Hoft!
Of course, Jim Hoft didn’t tell you that this protest was led by a genocidal maniac. Because he’s Jim Hoft.
Speaking to his supporters in somewhat broken English, Seselj said that the message for Serbian-Americans was simple: “Vote Trump, for future of Serbia.” In his own language he told Reuters later: “Trump is the alternative to globalization. He will destroy old centers of power in the United States and he is a supporter of Russia.” The Serb nationalist also praised Trump for “restoring American pride.”
Many Serbs remain bitter at former President Bill Clinton for 78 days of deadly air strikes on Belgrade and other parts of the country in 1999, when a NATO intervention to prevent the slaughter of ethnic Albanian rebels in Kosovo enabled that southern province to secede.
The day before the bombardment began, Biden sponsored a Senate resolution to grant Clinton the authority to carry out the campaign. (It passed the Senate but later failed in the House.)
Seselj, who helped incite the ethnic cleansing of parts of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia in the 1990s — by recruiting volunteer fighters and calling non-Serbs “primates,” vampires,” and “excrement” — was acquitted of crimes against humanity and war crimes in a split decision by a panel of three judges at the United Nations court in The Hague in March.
Serge Brammertz, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, condemned the decision and promised to appeal it.
The original indictment notes that Seselj began his career in ultranationalist politics when he traveled to the United States in 1989 and “met the chairman of the ‘Movement of Chetniks in the Free World,’ Momcilo Dujic, who on the day of the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo — 28 June 1989 — appointed him a Chetnik ‘Vojvoda,’ meaning a ‘Duke’ or leader.” Having secured this endorsement, Seselj then collected funds to support his nationalistic activities from the Serbian-American diaspora.
According to Balkan Insight, a website financed by the European Commission, Seselj has continued to support the goal of a “Greater Serbia” and still calls Bosnia “undoubtedly Serbian.”
“If the Muslim fundamentalists don’t like that,” he added, “they can pack their bags and leave.”
Radical nationalists in Serbia justified their brutal assault on civilians in Bosnia by claiming, falsely, that the largely secular population of Slavs who adopted Islam centuries ago during Ottoman rule were secretly Muslim extremists. More than 100,000 people were killed in the ensuing campaign of murder, rape, and intimidation initiated by Serb forces and the wars that followed.
Seselj had already endorsed Trump’s candidacy during the Republican primary campaign in January, writing on Twitter: “I call on brother Serbs who live in the USA to strongly support Republican Party candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential elections.”

So glad you’re comfortable with maniacs in foreign countries picking your president for you, since Trump is in the pocket of Putin.
Oh please! You’re backing the administration (Hillary) that supported ISIS and al Qaeda in Syria. This followed that red line drawn by Obama, who never followed through on his silly threat. This is an administration responsible for blowing up the Middle East, The disaster in Benghazi, negotiating with terror sponsoring Iran, causing the rise and spread of ISIS around the globe, and a refugee crisis of epic proportions. Hello!
Trump is no more in Putin’s pocket than “restart button” Hillary or Barack Obama who’s whispered to Medyeved, “Tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after the election.”
You on the left have no shame and no sense of responsibility for the world-wide mess you’ve made, including the economic mess.
Tina: “You’re backing the administration (Hillary) that supported ISIS and al Qaeda in Syria.”
No, I’m not, because Hillary Clinton did not support ISIS and al Qaeda in Syria. This is a false claim started by Breitbart, who misread a memo found by Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch never claimed the memo showed support for ISIS by the Obama administration; this was Breitbart’s inaccurate reading of the memo.
This false claim was corrected by legitimate news sources over a month ago.

You seem to enjoy being lied to.
I would like to respond to the rest of what you wrote, but first I would like to see if you will admit you were wrong about this false claim. If you can’t do that, then I must say I don’t see the point in correcting any other claims, since you won’t admit they’re false even when faced with irrefutable proof.
And anyway, your response wasn’t even a rebuttal, just “I’m rubber and your glue.” You didn’t show any remorse or acknowledgement that you praised a protest led by a genocidal maniac. Why not? I would be sorry if I did that.
Has Trump corrupted your morals so badly that you don’t see the problem with this?
Hillary and Obama blew up the ME together…OF COURSE they supported the rise of ISIS, whether directly or by shear incompetency, neglect, or dereliction of duty!
I repeat: “You on the left have no shame and no sense of responsibility for the world-wide mess you’ve made, including the economic mess.”
And you depend on news outlets that have made it their business to advocate and cover for Democrats, in particular the more extreme and radical Democrats, including creating fake and misleading news!
Eat your heart out!
My God In Heaven, … are you actually gloating, crowing, exulted, over the support you are getting from a passel of “ethnic cleansers” !!!! ????
I … I am flabbergasted. This country is in some bad, bad shape.
Libby, she didn’t know that they were ethnic cleansers. She just knew they were Trump supporters, and that makes them Good. No further research was necessary, even though Hoft is wrong every single day and twice on Sundays.
The Trump bubble is the most impermeable that I’ve ever seen in all my years watching politics. Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, Western Journalism, Shoebat…these are places people go when they want to be actively shielded from the truth and other points of view. There are liberal places like this too, of course–pretty much any site with the name “progressive” in it is probably lying to you–but the difference is that the Trump campaign is actively encouraging the selective warping of reality of his supporters in ways the Clinton campaign is not. Oh yes, she lied about her e-mails–that was in the news for months. Trump and his associates tell a new lie each day, and have so lowered their standards that it’s impossible to compare the two candidates.
If Trump ever sends e-mails on a private server, people will just say “Oh, that’s Trump being Trump” or “He doesn’t play by the typical rules of politicians!”
But can you imagine the hysteria that right-wingers would fly into if Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager was found to be working with the Russians on the same day Chelsea was on vacation with Putin’s girlfriend? We’d never hear the end of it. Yet somehow people see Clinton as more “corrupt” than Trump even though he’s the most dishonest politician the fact checkers have ever evaluated.
The party of Lincoln did some soul-searching in 2012 after Romney’s loss. They said they were going to try and reach out to more minorities and women. They said they’d skew younger. Instead they nominated a caricature of a Republican–someone who insulted Mexicans and Muslims, and whose insults toward women have been well known for decades. This worked in the primary, which directly targets the fringe of Republican voters, but he’s getting crushed in every poll in the general and is in denial as to why. Those who are still supporting Trump have no excuse but deliberate, chosen ignorance, and this article is a perfect example of the low-information echo chamber they have chosen to inhabit.
I just don’t get it. Love pinko commies if they support your candidate. Hate everyone that loves pinko commies. My head is spinning!
I am very confused too, Pete. So much of what Trump has done is exactly what Republicans have accused Obama and Clinton of, down to forging documents. I also remember Obama being called “divisive” a lot, yet (many) Republicans are prepared to elect the most divisive candidate since the Dems nominated George Wallace.
God bless those Republicans who have seen reason and refused to endorse the know-nothing Trump.
I didn’t say I loved or hated them. I said that apparently they were not happy with Obama and Hillary.
Who can blame them, or anyone else, when you consider the state of the world created by this pair over the last eight years. They won in 08 bashing the former president on a platform of hope and change…who knew they were hoping for increasing poverty in a destabilized world of danger, conflict, and lousy leadership from the most powerful nation in the world?
And Pete, your head should be spinning. You think this is about pinko commies instead of ridding ourselves of pinko commies and the mess they make wherever they go.
I think it’s funny that Old Joe would be greeted in this way…this was the administration that posed as savior to the world and look what they’ve created for people of all persuasions in the world. Disaster, complete disaster!
Feeble, Tina. Truly feeble.
Are you beginning to see how weak is your position? … or perhaps how strong?
Do you concur with Serbian efforts to cleanse territories of Muslim population? If so … say so. I mean, this is why the Serbs are hot for Trump. So, if you agree, just say so.
The time swiftly approaches when you simply can no longer pretend Trump is not what he is.
I have expressed no opinion other than, it is obvious that the Serbs prefer Trump to Hillary.
The last eight years of Hillary and Obama are a testament to how you think. Your ability to judge character and the suitability of a candidate is pretty much in the tank. The last thing I should do is pay attention to your opinion.
This idea that there’s blood in the water is all in your head, Libby.
Tina you are being nailed for partisan politics. Why not stop and realize you follow media propaganda then write about it.
Do some homework. A tue Patriot does not praise these sort of people.
I am not a fan of Obama I call him out for bad and defend him for good.
It’s like you soak up all the propaganda in the name of divide and conquer.
The truth always lies somewhere n the middle.
Your Hero GW Bush left us in a far worse place than Obama is leaving us.
GOP Congress, the my way or the highway? Block all bills to hurt Obama? Dictatorship by Donors? Pay to play?
Both Parties are a corrupt biz where they even have set a daily goal for dialing for dollar calls while we pay them?
How about being real and try to stop this repeating of horrible propaganda?
Have an opinion but stop and do some research !
No Dewey, the truth does not lie “somewhere in the middle.” The truth doesn’t give a rip…it just is!
Ignorant and wrong about the state of the world under Obama as opposed to GWB.
This GOP Congress is not one I’m particularly proud of, however, it was given an ultimatum by Obama from the start. He does not wish to see any legislation that is not wed to his agenda…he is acting like a King. the Congress is not there to serve the will of the people but to serve the Obama agenda.
The current Congress has created hundreds of pieces of legislation, many that would improve job conditions. What we have is a dysfunctional government led by an activist whose agenda is redistribution of wealth and race and class agitation. He doesn’t even care that blacks have suffered under his leadership…he is the my way or the highway guy.
Dewey you don’t even understand basic terms that you use why would anyone think you have a handle on the things we discuss here?
Drop all of the useless carping, it impresses no one.
“I have expressed no opinion other than, it is obvious that the Serbs prefer Trump to Hillary.”
And the Serbs are amenable to genocide, which is why you look askance at anything else they might approve of. Are you starting to get it … maybe? Perhaps this reveals something in your position of which you are not fully aware?
For the sake of the nation’s future, you must become aware.
What I don’t get is why your handlers don’t warn you. Why would they feed you this, when you are just going to get pounced on?
Handlers not too bright, maybe?
Or were you suckered, again?
The usual gang of extreme left-wing twits read all sorts of things into Post Scripts posting of this story, The ONLY editorial comment made by Post Scripts was “I guess they aren’t too happy with the foreign policy of the current administration and would prefer Trump over Hillary.”
You rabid hyperbolic jerks — Lee (Chris), Libby, and Pete need to take your Ritalin and calm down. Stay on your meds, you will feel better.
Nice try. But you was nailed … for your ignorance that was, on a visceral level, not ignorant at all.
You do concur with the Serbian world view. So just admit it.
That’s your problem Libby. You decide how people think rather than having an interest in how and what they think.
Tell me, just what is the “Serbian world view” and how do I manifest it?
Talk to a Serbian, I know many in Norcal
The silly SFB tries to put words in my mouth. Move on dot moron. Take your meds.
Thanks Pie.
(Spotted) and dealt with…at least for now.
How can you possibly be consoled by any such specious drivel?
It’s coming to be time to fess up. You want to be a fascist? Then be a facsist.
The last time you lefties tried to make someone out to be dangerous you got to witness greatness. Better watch out he might just win and fix the problems poor blacks have been suffering for years under the thumbs of lefty politicians, hard core union hags, and race pimps in your party.
Obama gave you miles and miles more of socialism…we’re all socialists now, remember? The experiment is in shambles. The world has become a dung pile. How long will you try to defend it (by attacking the voices of freedom)?
Freedom old girl. Freedom is my position! It is freedom that works. Freedom and honoring the right of every single individual to follow his dreams unencumbered by the unnecessary burdens of government.
“Obama gave you miles and miles more of socialism…”
Obama has been saddled with a “Do-Nothing” Congress for six years and has done no such thing.
The only current project on the books is the ACA, our baby step toward universal health care. Hillary might be able to move further on it, but probably nothing further can be done until the next census, the next round of gerrymandering, when it is to be hoped that the House returns to some semblance of a truly representative body … and also devoid of most of the morons.
I decided to do a little research since my memory is foggy about the situation in the 1990’s. It apparently isn’t as clear cut as Lee (Chris) would have us believe. Could be why JHWB chose to stay out of it.
1999 article in SF Gate, “Clinton to Bomb Again — Now Serbia / Is the U.S. interest to `stop the killing’ or to expand the police power of NATO?”:
This site appears to lean more left than right. I don’t know who is behind it. (Too late to look further) Global Research:
May 1993,Philly.com, “Serbs, Croats Won; Humanity Lost”:
Never mind all that. It is today that concerns us.
Trump, Milosevic … peas in a pod?
Obama, Hillary and Kerry are the ones that have made a big fat ugly mess all over the world (death, destruction, displacement, chaos, social and economic disaster…)
What pod should we put them put them in? Stalin comes to mind. Mao certainly could be in that pod as could Kim Il Sung. In all cases government policy based on Marxist principles caused mass starvation. Under Mao the program had a lovely sounding name: Great Leap Forward. Sounds a bit like “The Great Society.”
You refuse to learn from history Libs!
As usual, reality is not so tidy and clean as fools like Chris (Lee), Pete, and Libby hallucinate it is.
