Nobody told me we’re at war – NATO state’s president of Croatia, Milanovic
” I wish Berlin better luck than in WWII ” Said Milanovic, president of Croatia NATO member who was fighting along the Germany in WWII…
Croatia “should in no way help” Ukraine militarily, Milanovic said while visiting the port city of Split. “Do you want us to enter the war?”
Framing the Ukraine conflict as one between Washington and Moscow, he reminded reporters that he was criticized for merely echoing the words of Kiev’s defense minister, about the current conflict being a “proxy war” between NATO and Russia.
“Now the German foreign minister says we must be united, because I quote, we are at war with Russia. I didn’t know that,” Milanovic said. “Maybe Germany is at war with Russia, but then, good luck, maybe this time it turns out better than 70-odd years ago.”
The Croatian president was baffled to hear such a claim from the leader of the German Greens, which he said used to be a pacifist party equally against the US and the USSR, and not from Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“On the off chance that we are at battle with Russia, how about we find out what we really want to do. In any case, we will not ask Germany for its perspective,” Milanovic added. “Allow them to sort out who is the real chancellor around there. I’ve been in legislative issues for quite a while, and our nation has had to deal with a ton, yet I’ve never seen this sort of frenzy.”
With regards to tanks, “Russian or American, they consume in any case,” Milanovic said, taking note of that conveyances of defensive layer to Ukraine – declared by the US and Germany this week – will just delay the battling,
“Those tanks might consume, or they might arrive at Crimea, however Croatia will not have anything to do with it,” he demanded. The social-liberal president has regularly conflicted with the patriot parliamentary greater part over Croatia’s Ukraine strategy. Simply last month, Milanovic went against Zagreb’s support in the EU program to prepare Ukrainian soldiers, saying it conflicted with Croatia’s constitution.
Except if the US and Russia are holding some sort of talks, the world is “gradually sliding into Universal Conflict Three,” Milanovic added. “Certain individuals think it has proactively started, yet I have my reservations.”
