[OKDXA] KOSOVYOYO

[John Geiger]

It is also interesting how the US refused and still
refuses to recognize Somililand because we don't want
to encourage African nations to split up, but yet we
went troops to support European nations to split up.

St. Barts is a little different since it falls on the
list of US non-nation self governing terrorities or
something like that.  The fact that France allowed St.
Barts to achieve greater self governance is what made
the difference. Serbia is opposed to giving Kosovo any
greater self governance.  

I think we will see a couple of new countries come out
of the PJ islands as a couple of them are getting self
governance status soon-similar to what Aruba achieved
in 1986.
