A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria

[Jan Klimkowski]

The airlift of dated but effective Yugoslav-made weapons meets key concerns of the West, and especially Turkey and the United States, who want the rebels to be better armed to drive out the Assad regime but fear ultra-modern weaponry getting into the hands of jihadists and the PKK Kurdish terror group.
Nevertheless, Mr Higgins has recently posted videos showing some of the Croat weapons in the hands of the jihadist group Ahrar al-Sham.
Although regarded as hostile to the West, it fights closely with other Free Syrian Army units regarded as acceptable recipients of weapons.

Those Croats know how to be geopolitical lackeys.

Whilst the more independent-minded and less compliant Serbs are demonised, Croatian membership of the EU is fast-tracked.

Forget Croatian Nazi and more recent atrocities.

Write Jasenovac and the Ustase out of the history books.

Onward with the Strategia della Tensione.
