They told him that they want to help because Russian volunteers helped them during the Balkan wars. According to "South Front" there are over 200 Serbian volunteers.<br /><br />"DPR Militia forces were enhanced by 205 Serbian volunteers, joined the special fighting unit."<br />https://www.facebook.com/southfronteng/photos/a.608496692575623.1073741827.608489642576328/661509973940961/?type=1<br /><br />In the 90's Serbs and Russians were fighting together against nazis that were armed and trained by Germany and the US, too. At least one of those is now in the nazi death squad "Azov".<br /><br />"46-year-old Frenchman Gaston Besson ...

Hunters were offered bullet-proof jackets, ammunition and rifles with optical guidance. Hunters – «international brigades of Croatian army» guaranteed security. Rape and plundering were offered for special pay. The clients were mainly ethnic Croats from Australia, Germany, Canada, Switzerland and Austria, as well as European felons and Neo-Nazi. Gaston Besson started his business and combat experience there to continue to do what he likes most in Ukraine now."<br />http://www.strategic-culture.org/pview/2014/07/23/european-killers-enjoy-fascist-safari-in-ukraine.html<br /><br />"European neo-Nazis fight on Croatian side"<br />http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=481_1325596183&safe_mode=offbalkaninfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483353746920215100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-29177222180386042962014-08-30T22:46:32.524-04:002014-08-30T22:46:32.524-04:00I sort of touched on that when I mentioned Shevich...I sort of touched on that when I mentioned Shevich, but thank you for elaborating. I'd like to think the Serbs would have gone to fight there anyway, just on principle, but the history of the area certainly gives it a national heritage dimension. <br /><br />I've actually had to correct some over-enthusiastic Serbs a few months back, who had thought Slavyansk was Slavyanoserbsk.

Many were escaping Ottoman tolerance and multiculturalism in favor of Russian barbarism and oppression. They even formed a fairly large territory named Slavo-Serbia in the 18th century. It is situated precisely in today's Donetsk and Lugansk regions-at the epicenter of fierce fighting (Hey, I bet they haven't yet thought to blame Serbs for this one. Perhaps, because that would require some knowledge of history on their part). Hence, the toponyms such as Slavyanoserbsk. Curiously, there is also a place named Illyria in the Lugansk region.Suvorovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478802923961398964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-25802960784455249142014-08-28T12:08:15.624-04:002014-08-28T12:08:15.624-04:00Тhanks, Meezer!

I wasn't trying to say that the number is shamefully low - considering all the effort to break Serbia, even one volunteer is a miracle - but that it's objectively not large enough to have a major impact on war operations. It does, undeniably, have an impact on morale, both of the Novorussians and of the Empire.

Furthermore, any trickle of volunteers is largely a solo effort by those involved and not being coordinated by any state or clandestine authorities. Volunteers would probably have to buy their own bus tickets to the airport let alone flights. This makes it especially difficult. Compare this to the flooding of recruits to fight Assad forces that was largely coordinated by several or more 'agencies' who provided all the necessary logistical support.el swinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598926480370953708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-61406593673034297942014-08-25T15:12:00.583-04:002014-08-25T15:12:00.583-04:00It would not be the first time the Serbs have to f...It would not be the first time the Serbs have to fight for someone else's freedom before they can fight for their own.

Thus Serbs and Serbia suffers the utmost disgrace under the thumb of the US and the EU to this day.<br />What I marvel that no one questions is the fact that US foreign policy is being set by the dictates of the EU.
