Washington in trouble with Texas, Dodik waits for the moment: Why is the "Trojka" lulling us with lies that the US will not allow the BiH to disintegrate?

The bear will come to their door too, an old folk saying that is coming true these days. After sowing problems around the world for decades, today the United States is struggling with internal chaos that it has long swept under the rug due to international affairs.

Texas dreams of independence or some more significant form of autonomy, and they see the proposals coming from the top as stifling their rights and freedoms. However, I won't dwell on that; my colleague Armin Sijamić explained it excellently in the article "Biden and Abbott have brought the United States to the brink of civil war!"

In the following, I will compare two problems whose causes lie with the Americans, although there is a significant distance between them and completely different homologation. Texas had already seceded from the US, but returned after the Civil War. The entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska, whose name and origin were co-signed by the Americans, seceded as the Serb Republic of BiH from the Republic of BiH, and was part of a wider criminal coalition to break up Bosnia and Herzegovina, which committed a wide range of war crimes from genocide to ethnic cleansing.

Both the US Constitution and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina prohibit secession. Therefore, neither Texas nor the Republika Srpska entity is allowed to secede, yet the public in both America and Bosnia and Herzegovina is widely discussing the possibility and timing of a potential secession.

Secession proposals in Texas began in 2020, were renewed a year later, and three years later, we see intensified conflicts between Texas and Washington.

Washington is thus finding it increasingly difficult to resolve secessionist and other problems at home, while political projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on a short leash from the US Embassy, assure us that this same America is the guarantor that we will not disintegrate.

The first example of why the "Trojka" project is clearly deceiving the BiH public is Afghanistan, which the Americans, after military destruction, left to internal devastation. It's true not secessionist, but the country is disintegrating in every segment of socio-political life.

The second example is us, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because that same America, after we defended ourselves from a double aggression accompanied by a wide range of atrocities, forced us into a pact with the aggressors and enemies. It imposed a system in which we cannot even establish that we are a state without these enemies, let alone how that state will function.

And then they molded and produced the worst political product of the US in the Balkans, Milorad Dodik, whom they allowed to become a mini-Putin. This Dodik has been destroying Bosnia and Herzegovina for two decades, eroding its system just as corrosion erodes iron.

Therefore, it is clear today to anyone who wants to see that Dodik is on the verge of achieving his goal, the secession of the Republika Srpska entity from Bosnia and Herzegovina. If the US is struggling to deal with Texas within a far more organized system, what right does anyone, whether they call themselves "Trojka" or something else, have to convince us and lull us into complacency by claiming that the secession of Republika Srpska will not happen.

And secession is happening before our eyes, because the Republika Srpska entity functions largely autonomously from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and worst of all, besides the evident disinterest of the Americans, we even see passive support for this action from China, as well as from European countries like Hungary, Norway, and similar ones, which have their own interests in it.

Another example should keep us alert, no matter how much the American "Trojka" project tries to lull us. Aleksandar Vučić recently explained how much weapons they have and how much they are acquiring, with the remark that "a state that does not have a capable and well-armed army will not survive." If we put these words in the context of the quiet panic reigning in the European Union due to a possible war, it is clear that Vučić's words can be applied to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Our country has an army, but that too is a system of connected vessels that would turn into three paramilitary forces in case of conflict. A general of that army, Gojko Knežević, was recently at the marking of the unconstitutional day of Republika Srpska, thus clearly indicating where he belongs. Dodik and others are blocking any thought of arming the Armed Forces of BiH, while the Americans are training them. Thus, if trouble arises, we will have three well-trained armies, and those that win will be the ones that, along with knowledge of handling weapons, also have weapons. Translated into the language of the nineties, the VRS will have weapons from Serbia, the HVO from Croatia, and the Army of RBiH will again go against tanks, this time also against drones, with weapons from their own households. It is clear who is in what position.

In summary, if we believe the "Trojka's" lullaby that those who are increasingly struggling to save themselves will save us, we face the fate of disappearance. In fact, that threat has been present for almost half a century, only now we are incapacitated by a much stronger Yutel system which, after Srebrenica, the siege of Sarajevo, Bihać, Mostar, Markale, Kapija, dreams of brotherhood and unity.

And Dodik is waiting for the moment, which is getting closer!
