[color=blue][b][u]Bosnian Crisis, 2024[/u][/b][/color] ---------- [b]Ljubomir the Battle Lion:[/b] [i](narrating in English)[/i] Hello; I am known as Ljubomir the Battle Lion, the Bosnian counterpart to Leo the Patriotic Lion. I fought in the Battle of Sarajevo, although I should clarify that this is not the 1878 battle. This is the conflict from the 1990s, so it should really be known as the Siege of Sarajevo. After it was initially besieged by the forces of the Yugoslav People's Army, the city was then besieged by the Army of Republika Srpska. Lasting from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996 (1,425 days), it was three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad, more than a year longer than the siege of Leningrad, and was the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare. As a result, people assumed I was dead for a time, even though at many times, I was there in plain sight. When geography gets updated, it always tends to cause a stir as it is; just look back at the end of the U.S.S.R. in 1991. Our conflict was one of many that resulted when Yugoslavia ceased to exist. Some changes, such as the end of the Berlin Wall in 1989, were for the better, while others were for the worst, but think about it. If you woke up one day and your nation was gone, how would you feel, even if it was a good thing? Anyways, my point is that while my side won the battle, it was a tragedy in the end because everybody suffered losses. God gave us two options, ladies and gentlemen: diplomacy or violence. One takes a long time and process to do, but the other one causes long-term damage. Choose wisely, because the consequences afterwards are the ones you live with forever, and the ones to which you will answer for when you die. In any event, we pick up where we left off, where civil unrest in my home country meant the odds were favoring more warfare in sight. We're already fighting a war as it is, because we have the F5 Terror Force, the GSAF, the AIRAF, the Baltic Bad Boys, and other groups of that nature still out there causing trouble. We also have times where the people themselves are their own worst enemy; we saw this in Uganda and Nigeria, and also in the United States, Argentina, and Turkey, when the sports fans of those nations rioted over being unsatisfied with the results. (That's a different problem, but get your act together, people! They're just sports!) On with the highlights, then. I'm sorry if that was a bad introduction, but sometimes we struggle to think of what to say when introducing these journal entries we present to you. ------------ ------------ ----------- *Later, everything goes back to normal but Ljubomir the Battle Lion and Nighthowl, Bosnian G-52s, are in Sarajevo speaking to the government.* ----------- *Sarajevo, Bosnia* [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* Our President does not want conflict. Why are you telling us to invade Serbia and abduct Dodik? You're basically telling us to commit a crime there just to bring Dodik to our court. This makes no sense! [b]Politician 1:[/b] *In Bosnian* He violated out constitution and law by declaring independence from us and allowing Serbia to annex Republika Srpska. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* But a constitution change is more important than that. What's done is done. [b]Politician 2:[/b] *In Bosnian* But this is injustice and racism! [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* Ljubomir and I explained to Super C and Leo about this whole thing. The Americans will not get involved, and neither will the European Union. So, the best thing we can tell you is to let this go. We are not going to risk giving Serbia reasons to invade us just to get Dodik back. This isn't worth it so let it be! [b]Ljubomir:[/b] *In Bosnian* The era of peace is still new to us here. I fought in the Battle of Sarajevo, remember? [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* How many more innocent Bosnians do you want to suffer over one Serb? If that's what they want, just let them! *Some of the politicians sigh.* [b]Politician 3:[/b] *In Bosnian* Then they're just going to be racists. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* Then let them be racist as long they're not planning to wage war on us! We have to look after our own kind first anyways! Leo has to look after his people and he's got people to see in the White House first. I am a medical lab technician and I have patients to deal with on behalf of doctors. Ljubomir prefers teaching our men to defend rather than to attack, because that's what soldiers do today. Understand? *The politicians nod, but a few still disagree.* [b]Politician 4:[/b] *In Bosnian* Then Dodik is going to continue to promote his agenda with Vucic against their own people. You already know that Serbia has their own military industry. They got artillery vehicles that meets modern standards. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* If they attack us, then we'll defend. Until then, we must look after ourselves first. [b]Politician 5:[/b] *In Bosnian* Since we have Ljubomir as our ambassador to America, I like to but in a referral to you to our President to make you our ambassador to Serbia. Serbia has G-52s so I think you would help maintain peace between us. You are smart and you are a G-52, so you know what to do. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* Oh? But I went to school to be a med lab tech. [b]Politician 5:[/b] *In Bosnian* That won't matter if our President proceeds to appoint you as our new ambassador to Serbia. Look. We want peace with the Serbs because Republika Srpska seceded from us to join Serbia. [b]Politician 6:[/b] *In Bosnian* You're going to do great as our ambassador to Serbia. You got this in the bag. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* Do I? [b]Politician 6:[/b] *In Bosnian* Of course otherwise we wouldn't recommend you for this. G-52s are great diplomats, and you're the one for this! Just enjoy it! *The government recommends Nighthowl to President Becirovic to have him appointed as ambassador to Serbia. Becirovic immediately approves.* [b]Politician 7:[/b] *In Bosnian* Time to pack up for your new job! *The politicians break into a round of applause for Nighthowl.* [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Bosnian* But in return, no calls for violence nor the abduction of Dodik. Just let them be! *To Ljubomir in Bosnian.* Any comments to the politicians before I pack up to be our ambassador to Serbia whereas with you, you'll be our ambassador to America? ------------- *Pristina, Kosovo* *President Osmani explains her reason of adopting the Euro as the official currency of Kosovo, rejecting the Serbian dinar.* [b]Osmani:[/b] *To the media in English.* We are trying to promote our economy to the world more, and part of this is attracting the Euro, which will fund our developments more. It was never our intent to upset the Serbs, as I have made clear to Vucic that his country can continue to support our Serbian communities. If our Serbs want to move to Serbia, I will have no problem with that. Serbian museum administrators have expressed their concerns to me, but I have reassured them that their museums will always be there and that the Euro will support them more. Kosovo is an underrated gem in Europe that not many people outside of here get to learn about. This time, the opportunity is perfect to promote our tourism and to get more people to learn about Kosovo. --------------- *Washington, D.C.* [b]Zax:[/b] The Bosnian G-52s understood what they're doing well. [b]Juno:[/b] Nighthowl is right to say to let Dodik be, since invading Serbia to abduct him in order to try him for treason in Bosnia is too risky. [b]Marshall:[/b] I wouldn't want to be the one responsible in giving Serbia reasons to invade and attack Bosnia to bring Dodik back, so good job to him and Ljubomir in telling their government to let them be. --------- *Sarajevo, Bosnia* [b]Ljubomir:[/b] *in Bosnian* I can only say what was already said; I do not want to see violence happen either. And if they want to be racist, then that's on them. We are our own worst enemy. You know this, people! ----------- *Washington, D.C., USA* [b]Tom the Patriotic Tiger:[/b] I forgot you had a Bosnian parallel. [b]Leo the Patriotic Lion:[/b] It is hard keeping up with all of them. What hasn't changed is the fact that when a new one is discovered, the rest of us all suffer a headache. He will serve them as our ambassador, however. --------------- ------------------ *Later, Nighthowl arrives to the Serbian capital of Belgrade to serve as Bosnia's ambassador as everybody greets him. In Serbian tradition, there are Serbian ladies presenting a large fancy plate of sliced bread and salted butter for Nighthowl.* -------------- *Belgrade, Serbia* [b]Civilian 1:[/b] *In Serbian* Bread and salted butter? [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Serbian* Why yes. Before, it was bread and salt. Now, to prosperity and beyond! *He uses the spreading knife to apply butter to his bread before eating it.* It is excellent! [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* Welcome to Serbia, Nighthowl! [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Serbian* Thank you! *He enters the Bosnian embassy.* It is beautiful! So this is where I'll be working in! Very nice! [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* Hopefully we will get along better then. Oh and this is Ljubo the Noble Lion, representing this country. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Serbian to Ljubo.* Nice to meet you! I am Nighthowl, Bosnia's first G-52. Your Bosnian parallel is our ambassador to America and his name is Ljubomir the Battle Lion. [b]Vucic:[/b] *In Serbian as he watches from a safe distance.* Let there be peace then as long Dodik is left alone in peace with us. ---------- *Washington D.C.* *A parade performance is held to welcome Ljubomir the Battle Lion as Bosnia's ambassador to America. A huge chunk of the marchers are Drumbums.* [b]Zax:[/b] Better late than never, since this year is our election. ---------------- *Serbia* [b]Ljubo the Noble Lion:[/b] *in Serbia* Thank you; pleasure to meet you as well. I feel a bit embarrassed not noticing that Ljubomir even existed, but then again, that's the way it is with all the parallels. ------------------- *Washington, D.C., USA* [b]Leo:[/b] Indeed. Our thanks to the Drumbums for helping us out here. ------------- ------------ [b]Leo:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] It's always a pleasure to watch the Drumbums perform. ---------- ----------- *Belgrade, Serbia* [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Serbian* It happens. [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* Please enjoy yourself here. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Serbian* I will! ----------- ---------- [b]Ljubomir:[/b] [i](narrating in English)[/i] So now we'll go to the main highlight of this journal entry; I had fought in one conflict, I said before, and I am now saying I do not want to fight in another. But tensions were mounting high for this reason: Kosovo had fully adopted the Euro as their official national currency, and protests erupted through the lands. Some even claimed it was the beginning of the end of the world as we knew it, because they were conspiracy theorists claiming the Euro replacing all these other currencies would lead to the end times, where the anti-Christ gets involved and a one world government is established. [b]Levon the Christian Lion:[/b] [i](narrating in English)[/i] But the real truth is that the Lord will decide when His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, returns to Earth. Anybody who has tried to predict the end of the world has got it wrong, and has been severely punished for it in the afterlife. [b]Leo:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] And everybody knows what I will do in response. If you want to break out into war like this, then I'm going to rally the world in sanctioning you! --------- --------- *Later, due to Kosovo fully adopting the Euro as their official national currency over the Serbian dinar, some protests against this erupt throughout Serbia. Some are calling for a military invasion of Kosovo despite warnings of global sanctions. Vucic sends military reinforcements at the border with Kosovo as well as to assist ethnic Serbs immigrating from Kosovo into Serbia.* [b]Vucic:[/b] *In Serbian* I am very disappointed in Kosovo's decision to accept the Euro as their official currency. It's more than just money, but also opens the gate towards political influence. The Euro outvalues the Serbian dinar, which means that Kosovo will be drawn away from us. They sold themselves out to the European Union, and I will find a way to right this wrong. [b]Protestor 1:[/b] *In Serbian* Invade Kosovo now! The heck with the sanction threats! [b]Protestor 2:[/b] *In Serbian* Lightning Leopard, Marko, and Ljubo, get ready for war in Kosovo! This time, we will seize that land by force! [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* Are you out of your mind?! I am a G-52 and superhero; saving innocent people from danger always goes first! I will not use my powers to cause harm on others! [b]Marko:[/b] (Serbian male white fox UN1024.) *In Serbian* If we invade Kosovo, America and the world will sanction us, which will instantly destroy our economy! On top of that, the European Union will withold funds from us! [b]Protestor 3:[/b] *In Serbian* We have God! [b]Marko:[/b] *In Serbian* God wants us to engage in violence in another country before annexing the entire nation with us by force? Last year has seen enough violence as it is; Prigozhin trying to take on Leonid in Russia, Pakistan's civil war with India invading the country to steal part of their land, and Museveni encouraging his own people to engage in genocide against LGBTQ+ people in Uganda. [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* I do NOT want to answer to Him about why I used my powers to cause harm on others. This is not why I became a G-52! [b]Civilian 1:[/b] *In Serbian* Do you idiots realize that invading Kosovo would possibly get other countries nearby to bomb us with their fighter jets? [b]Civilian 2:[/b] *In Serbian* We already have Republika Srpska as our territory peacefully! And besides, I don't want sanctions on us! [b]Protestor 4:[/b] *In Serbian* Kosovo banned us from exporting our goods to their country claiming that we're pushing too much economic and political influences and agreements on them! We need answers or else we will make them answer! [b]Nightwolf:[/b] *In Bosnian to himself.* I fear that if Serbia invades Kosovo, my government will get my people to rally for the abduction of Dodik, leading to war with this beautiful country. I'm not Muslim, so I should be safe. Ljubomir is in America, so he's focused on Bosnian-American relations. [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian to Protestor 4.* I think it's better to get Osmani and Vucic to talk things out about this issue. [b]Protestor 4:[/b] *In Serbian* But how would you make that happen? [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* Marko, Ljubo, and I can arbitrate with Vucic and Osmani in getting them to resolve our economic disputes. [b]Marko:[/b] *In Serbian* Let's do this instead, because calling for war to resolve disputes is for the weak. We're in the future now, we're better than this. God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. In the end with war, everybody loses. [b]Protestor 5:[/b] *In Serbian* I doubt it! Ljubo! Kosovo's Osmani Administration has favored the Euro despite warnings from everybody on all sides! I say prepare our men for war in Kosovo! [b]Civilian 3:[/b] *In Serbian* Hey [BLEEP]! My son works in construction and he would rather build our country up instead of you sending him to war! [b]Protestor 6:[/b] *In Serbian* Watch your mouth before I knock your teeth out! [b]Civilian 4:[/b] *In Serbian* Enough of this already! [b]Protestor 7:[/b] *In Serbian* Our Forsythians will beat the drums of war with us! Otherwise, we will beat the drums without them! [b]Civilian 5:[/b] *In Serbian* They'll join us in the bunkers instead! [b]Nightwolf:[/b] *Gets out of his embassy and speaks in Serbian to the protestors.* Everybody, please think about the losses of war. Everybody loses in war! Remember the Yugoslav Wars and the Battle of Sarajevo? Many of you have children! Is leaving your wife and children behind to fight in a war to take someone's land worth it? ----------- [b]C.K./King Leo:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] If my subjects are beating the drums of war right now quite literally, the wars involved are the war on the GSAF and other enemies of that nature, but also the war on stupidity, and the war for morality and truth. They would NOT...I repeat, NOT...beat the drums of war that these protestors speak about. When those people die, they will answer for that one, too! I am disgusted with the lot of you humans right now! [b]Monarch Major:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] So am I. We Forsythians fight for what is right, good, and peaceful. Kriegland may have been a war-torn planet, but they learned their lessons from their mistakes. Why haven't you? [b]Super C:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] Such is the reason I am disgusted with the humans myself right now, although, in my case, it was the American public driving me nuts. At one point, I even snapped by looking up at the sky and screaming, "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?" Why scream that? It also goes back to those tabloid terrorists trying to dig up dirt on us, and the subsequent brainwashing of select amounts of people, whose numbers are growing larger, who are going around preaching it is better for the world's population to die because superheroes are lawbreakers. We are not! However, this is European drama we're highlighting here, not American drama. ---------------- *Tirana, Albania* *President Begaj increases military reinforcements at the border with Kosovo. Fisnik (Albanian male red fox UN1024), Red Mistress and Luan the Ambitious Lion speaks to the protestors, who want war with Serbia.* [b]Protestor 1:[/b] *In Albanian* We are ready to defend our interests with Kosovo! [b]Protestor 2:[/b] *In Albanian* If those filthy Serbs hurt our people, we shall retaliate against them, 10 times harder! [b]Protestor 3:[/b] *In Albanian* I'm ready to take arms for our country! [b]Protestor 4:[/b] *In Albanian* It's time to get ready for war! [b]Red Mistress:[/b] *In Albanian* No! I will not participate! I save people's lives from danger! [b]Fisnik:[/b] *In Albanian* You do realize that war means sanctions, right? America has the world in her hands and she will not intervene in any country that goes to war with another country! She's taking care of her people first and her troops are more focused on their border with Mexico than other countries! And besides, the American men care more about marrying Argentine wives to get them to live with them than to care about us! [b]Red Mistress:[/b] *In Albanian* The Americans are really focused on their own priorities so whatever happens here because of your stupidity will be on you to deal with only! [b]Civilian 1:[/b] *In Albanian* Please, no war! [b]Civilian 2:[/b] *In Albanian* Keep our troops at our borders! If Serbia invades Kosovo, focus on taking in ethnic Albanians from Kosovo! [b]Civilian 3:[/b] *In Albanian* I still remember the Yugoslav Wars like it was yesterday! My dad had to live through that! I don't want to deal with that! I just got married and we have a third child on the way! [b]Civilian 4:[/b] *In Albanian* YOU IDIOTS! [b]Begaj:[/b] *In Albanian* If Serbia invades Kosovo, we will treat them as a threat to us. Everything is made clear about the consequences of war! ---------------- *Houston, TX, USA* *People are worried about CJ Stroud dating the wrong people, despite Amber Rose stating that they are not.* [b]Civilian 1:[/b] Rose is way too old for Stroud, and she's an atheist! [b]Civilian 2:[/b] Wrangler Wolf, you have close connections with Stroud. Please tell me you spoke to him. [b]Wrangler Wolf:[/b] I have, and he said he's not dating her and was just giving her a ride home. I know how y'all feel, so how about we say a prayer for our quarterback to make sure God continues to guide him right? [b]Civilian 3:[/b] Good idea! *Almost the entire city of Houston prays with Wrangler Wolf for Stroud.* ----------------- *Brownsville, TX, USA* *Leo and his administration visits the city to greet new recruits of the US Army.* [b]Zax:[/b] Hope you enjoyed your training here! [b]Soldier 1:[/b] What better place than Texas? [b]Soldier 2:[/b] Don't forget that some of us trained in California near the border too! [b]Soldier 3:[/b] San Ysidro is a fun border city there you know. [b]Juno:[/b] You're here, which means you have what it takes to be an Army soldier. See? That wasn't so bad, was it? [b]Soldier 4:[/b] To be honest, it was a bit brutal at first. [b]Juno:[/b] We've been there, so we know. Just remember, if you want peace, prepare for war if it comes. This is what soldiers do as defenders. [b]Zax:[/b] You got it! It's going to feel natural to you from now on. It's worth it though now that you're here. [b]Zachary:[/b] Everybody, thank you so much for joining the Army. Each and every single one of you proved yourselves to be the greatest warriors in our era. I know we are in our era of peace, but as you know, never let your guard down. A lot of you are going to be in Argentina to train with Argentine soldiers to help them better prepare in defending their own country. The rewards for that are the taste of Argentine culture. [b]Civilian 1:[/b] And a chance to pick up an Argentine girlfriend before marrying her here in America. They say that we Americans look like them and we have a lot in common. [b]Civilian 2:[/b] Milei rolled out the red carpet for us so many of you will be seeing a lot of what Argentina has to offer. They got good barbecue! [b]Civilian 3:[/b] They got great women. [b]Mechayote:[/b] Oh, hush! *He laughs with Civilian 3.* Let's try to keep it below PG-13 here. There are too many kids here. Plus, some of us are G-52s (including Leo). [b]Zax:[/b] Yeah; let's keep it low guys. [b]Civilian 4:[/b] Argentine women make excellent American wives. [b]Juno:[/b] Yes, they do. But our troops are here just to train with our CBP (Customs and Border Protection) agents. We want to be their backup line of defense when things go wrong at the border. [b]Frank C.:[/b] *To Marshall* We need to show Ljubomir more of our great country. [b]Marshall:[/b] I agree. Wildcat City alone will be quite a load for him in a day. But we got everything, and whatever Ljubomir wants, we got them! ------------- *Serbia* *Ljubo shows up.* [b]Ljubo:[/b] *in Serbian through a megaphone to the protestors* There will be no war fought and no bloodshed, so leave here; all of you! Now! We will instead peacefully talk this out! You idiots do not know what you are asking! [b]Civilian 2:[/b] *in Serbian* Might want to watch the name calling, even though you told the truth. *The protestors are still angry, but they obey Ljubo and return to their homes.* [b]Protestor 2:[/b] *in Serbian about Ljubo* Why do these lions have the final say? It should be the humans! [b]Civilian 3:[/b] *in Serbian* The lions will have the final say because they are the kings of their jungles. They require unquestioning obedience. -------------- [b]Leo:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] There's some evidence of the aftermath of CNG taking tens of thousands of years to wear off, according to the C.I.D.F. People will never get out of the mindset stating that "humans are out, furries are in." They will forever act as if we overrule our governments. We don't. We still are subject to punishments for breaking the laws as much as the next individual. ----------------- *Albania* [b]Luan:[/b] *in Albania* If you people want a war and start it, you have lowered yourselves lower than the GSAF, the AIRAF, or even the old version of Bendraqi. Is that what you want? If yes, your heads are screwed on backwards. If not, then do your health a favor and stop this. Go home, people. *The people obey.* ------------------ *Brownsville, TX, USA* *The soldiers exchange salutes with Leo.* [b]Leo:[/b] Thank you; all of you will do us all proud, I am certain of that. Focus on your duties first; don't pay attention to any distractions. ----------------- *Belgrade, Serbia* [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian to Protestor 2.* We'll take it from here. [b]Nighthowl:[/b] *In Serbian* Then I shall return to my embassy. [b]Marko:[/b] *In Serbian to Vucic.* I, Lightning Leopard, and Ljubo will take you to Kosovo and help you talk things out with Osmani. [b]Vucic:[/b] *In Serbian* She must understand that the ethnic Serbs in her country are also our people. She will lift the ban on Serbian imports, and I will make sure that at least happens. *Ljubo, Lightning Leopard, and Marko goes with Vucic to the Kosovar capital of Pristina by plane.* -------------- *Tirana, Albania* [b]Red Mistress:[/b] *In Albanian* Just go home. Our Serbian counterparts got this. Just go. Shoo! [b]Fisnik:[/b] *In Albanian* Just focus on supporting our country in peace! We must invest in our children! *The protestors go home as everybody returns to normal.* [b]Civilian 5:[/b] *In Albanian* Get out of my life and stay out, you ungrateful bigots! ---------- [b]Luan:[/b] [i](narrating in English)[/i] Spoiler alert; that man died the next day. ---------------- *Pristina, Kosovo* *Vucic, Ljubo, Lightning Leopard, and Marko arrive.* [b]Osmani:[/b] *In Serbian* I am the President of Kosovo. [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* We're just arbitrators, so we'll help in getting you two to sort things out here. [b]Vucic:[/b] *In Serbian* Osmani, you're hurting the businesses of ethnic Serbs here by banning our exports. We know you love the Euro, but we ask for fairness. We see those Serbs as our people, and we want to continue to support them, even providing them dual citizenship with us. [b]Osmani:[/b] *In Serbian* I understand, but the Euro is what will propel our economy and future forward, or whatever equivalent that may be. We also want to boost our tourism industry, too. [b]Vucic:[/b] *In Serbian* Please lift your bans against us, because you're hurting our economy and the price of everything in your country is going up. You've seen that. [b]Osmani:[/b] *In Serbian* Then in return, do not try to force your control on us. We want a more open economy here. [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* So Kosovo with an open economy with continued Serb support for ethnic Serbs okay then? [b]Osmani:[/b] *In Serbian* Yes. *Vucic and Osmani agrees before shaking hands to resolve their disputes.* [b]Marko:[/b] *In Serbian to Ljubo* Whew! Mission accomplished on that one! --------------- *Moscow, Russia* *Politicians applaud for the new deal between Kosovo and Serbia and that the threat of war has been averted.* [b]Politician 1:[/b] *In Russian* And that is how you resolve disputes! Good for them! [b]Politician 2:[/b] *In Russian* And that's how it should be done around the world! ---------- *Brownsville, TX, USA* [b]Zax:[/b] Enjoy this beautiful city! ----------- *Sarajevo, Bosnia* *The politicians applaud for Kosovo and Serbia.* [b]Politician 1:[/b] *In Bosnian* Whew! War has been averted! [b]Politician 2:[/b] *In Bosnian* Crisis averted, everybody! Let us celebrate another day of peace and prosperity! [b]Politician 3:[/b] *In Bosnian* See? Ljubomir and Nighthowl are great ambassadors! ----------- *Athlone, Ireland* [b]Gen. Madden:[/b] We are open in working with Michelle O'Neill about peacefully reuniting Ireland. We understand her wish to respect the British royal family, but at the same time, we will work with her in making our homeland become one again. [b]Copycat:[/b] [i]Star Trek[/i] said this country will be reunited this year. Did you know that? [b]Gen. Madden:[/b] I hope they're correct! I can't believe I'm saying this, since the C.I.D.F. are Trekkies for the most part, but for once, their favorite show seems to show our support in reuniting Ireland as one. Let this be a peaceful reunification of our people and homeland so we can thrive together once again. ---------- [b]Super C:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] One episode of [i]Star Trek: The Next Generation[/i], entitled "The High Ground," has been banned from airing on television as a result of Data making a comment about how the Irish reunification of 2024 was a good example of violence successfully achieving a political aim. My fellow Caticonians and I were indeed actually disgusted by that. If Ireland is to be a reunited country, it should happen peacefully, and it should NOT be under the control of the AIRAF. The prisons are too incompetent to keep them in prison, but the paradox comes from how we superheroes would potentially be out of work if they actually did it right. We will never truly be out of work; I still fly to space to prevent the world from asteroid threats. I can't catch them all, though. --------- [b]Copycat:[/b] Yes, but don't forget that Leo has deployed an enormous number of American troops in Argentina. There's way more Americans there than in Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Vietnam alone combined! There's way more than just culture that lures the Zanicchi Administration's interests there. [b]Gen. Madden:[/b] We'll have to work on our spy drones before we send them to the American-Mexican border and Argentina. No doubt Leo is planning something very big in the New World, as usual. [b]Copycat:[/b] Well, of course, he is, because without Putin and Jinping, he's got the instant upper-hand in the New World. Monroe Doctrine 2.0, where the world automatically acknowledges America's enormous influence over the New World. They're all wanting America's guns; then there's Milei, who pretty much wants all of America's military hardware as he seeks very close ties with America. He pretty much told Leo, "Hey! This is my country of Argentina! You have everything, so do whatever you want with it to improve it!" [b]Gen. Madden:[/b] Not surprising since Milei wants to turn Argentina into a fortress against us by making his country an extension of America, giving Leo a huge reach. ----------- *Kosovo* [b]Ljubo:[/b] *in Serbian* That is a big relief; I don't know why those protestors even bothered. All protests do is disturb the peace, even if they are peaceful. But these morons wanted conflict. ------------ *Russia* [b]Leonid the Cold Lion:[/b] *in Russian* And that is how Putin should have handled everything; but, no. He didn't. Now he's suffering for it in the afterlife. ------------- *WC, KS, USA* *The [i]Star Trek: The Next Generation[/i] episode "The High Ground" airs in its turn in the reruns; even the G-52s do show some concerns.* [b]D.W.:[/b] Do you think that will happen for real, boss? [b]Super C:[/b] I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised. The whole franchise predicted so many things that became reality. But I do not want to see anything rash happen; the last time I was in Northern Ireland, they said they wanted to keep themselves as part of the UK. The AIRAF had better not try anything; they want a reunited Ireland for the wrong reasons. --------- *Kosovo* [b]Lightning Leopard:[/b] *In Serbian* It depends, but Japan protested against Kishida and nobody was hurt or arrested. But I guess how protests work outside of Serbia is different. -------------- ------------- -------------- [b]Leo:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] So that one's out of the way. Bosnia's problems have been solved the diplomatic way, the way anybody should do these things. Diplomacy will beat violence any day of the week. And as promised, if you foreign nations do something wrong, I will get the world to sanction you. [b]Ljubomir:[/b] [i](narrating in English)[/i] And I will preach that he is right to do so. [b]Super C:[/b] [i](narrating)[/i] So will I. That's a discussion for another time, though, so we'll let you all be for now. We hope that this has taught you a lesson, though. Good night, world. ------------ [color=white][b]THE END[/b][/color]
