An interview aroused great attention, yesterday, in Serbian media. It was EWB interview with one Janusz Bugajski. At the glance, according to his name JB is a Polack! According to the interview, he is a lobbyist. He seems to be a NATO spokesman. If he was like another Polack, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, could be an emphasized American wannabe, but Polack in the hearth, and not to forget, a political hawk. That is all knowledge of mine about this person. So, who's the guy?
Janusz Bugajski was born September 23, 1954, in Nantwich, Cheshire. He came to U.S. in 1986. JB is a Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) in Washington DC and host of “Bugajski Hour” and “Bugajski Time” television shows broadcast in the Balkans. He is the former Director of New European Democracy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He has served as a consultant on East European affairs for various U.S. organizations and government agencies as for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the United States Department of Defense, the International Republican Institute (IRI), the Free Trade Union Institute (AFL-CIO), the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), and BBC television in London. He testifies regularly before the U.S. Congress. He chairs the South-Central Europe area studies program at the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. Department of State. Who want more, visit Wikipedia, for me the guy is spook, but a kind of a public spook, everybody knows about.
Now, about the interview. JB is representing a typical approach of the mighty and primitive. A general idea is - "We, the people, are entitled by might and crude force to stick our nose in everybody's home. We, and nobody else. However, if somebody dared to do the same, he is meddling in the interior matters of all the countries of the Western Balkans"!
The other typical American view he is advocating is that everything is material. "We live in the material World, and I'm a material girl", as Madonna used to sing. For that matter JB has a firm view - "I cannot imagine any Serbian officer wanting to be more closely aligned with the Russian military – a lot of it is obsolete, and the funding now is really going to go down, you are going to see real problems in Russia – rather than to be a part of the most modern military organisation in the world. It does not make sense to me." Of course it doesn't make sense to you. But it does make sense for us.
The general idea " if Montenegro becomes more successful and attracts more investments. The NATO membership itself is another stepping stone towards EU membership – I think all those things serve as a potential example to Serbian citizens" is wrong.
JB you have learnt nothing. You know shit about Serbs. You are judging us according to our politicians, and they are, by far, the worst part of Serbia. You should know that. They have been handpicked by you people. Some of them trained and paid, as well.
Do you really thing that the handful of dollars and an example of poor Montenegro gonna "motivate us by demonstrating its progress as a Western state, not long after regaining independence. That itself is a momentum for NATO in the Western Balkans because Montenegro can serve now as an example for other countries, that you too can join if you do the hard work, fulfill the conditions and meet the requirements.”
Meet more conditions and requirements? Get out of here!
Unlike disoriented Montenegrins, we have roots, proudness, courage, self-confidence, to chose the side of freedom, justice, rightness. Learn from how we humiliated the whole NATO alliance in 1999, though it costed us dearly. Learn from history. We've never missed. You have bombed, occupied, harassed, and try to put down the wrong nation. Montenegro, or no Montenegro, we gonna never forget your terrorist attack on Serbs, both in Bosnia and in Serbia, and wherever else they were. Particularly, because up to that moment we've considered America as friendly country and an Ally from two World Wars. Your conduct at Western Balkans and wider will stay in infamy for ever, and ever. As one of our brilliant actors Zoran Radmilovic said: "When a man dies, he does not know that he had died and it was not difficult to him. It's hard to others.
The same is true when a person is stupid!"
