WTs Kuhner mourns financial demise of his poodle Croatia

Jeffrey T. Kuhner, Washington Times’ columnist, mourns the upcoming financial demise of his Balkan poodle – Croatia.
“Croatia is on the verge of national surrender,” mourns he and says that “Having won its war for national independence from Serb-dominated Yugoslavia, Croatia is about to fritter away its hard-won sovereignty.”
Whaaaat-evaa…
More importantly, one should wonder why a president of the Edmund Burke Institute – as though anyone cares WTF Jeffrey’s “institute” does – is so concerned about Croatia so much so that many of his texts on Washington Times deal with this former Nazi statelet.
Then again, one should wonder whether Jeffrey’s love of Croatia is the Institute’s front for Nazism.
Let’s consider some of Kuhner’s invectives, particularly the one where he says that, basically, Croatia lived in the “Serb-dominated Yugoslavia”, against his support for various political forces in Croatia.
Social and political current in Croatia that emphasizes Croatia’s alleged “Serb-dominated” enslavement is claimed by the Nazi-loving nostalgists of the WWII Ustasa regime while the political support whom Kuhner publicly gives, via his Washington Times column, are Croatian political forces who say that embracing communist domination, led by a Croat Tito, was a matter of Croatian national salvation because Croatia would have been, they claim, wiped out because it would have had to eventually pay for its genocide of Serbs and Jews had it not been for the ethnic Croat, Tito, who led those communists, to save them by placing them into a “brotherly” Republic called Yugoslavia.
For Nazi Croats, Yugoslavia was an abomination and so was for the non-Nazi Croats, because they had to live with Serbs, accept out of necessity because Croat Nazis lost.
Political party lines between these two strands of modern Croatian thought are not so clear cut but, generally speaking, both have found an understanding: Serbs are to blame by both even though those two cannot get an agreement as to which Croat is more patriotic - the one whose father was a communist or the other whose Croat father was a Nazi.
By citing Nazi thought invectives and supporting non-Nazis, Kuhner’s invectives thread this strain of modern Croatian political thought but along a thin line: reconcile these two Croatian sides, for the love of Croatia!
So, is Kuhner a Nazi?
Perhaps not in the sense that he wants Jews dead but from the perspective that Kuhner is blaming another Nazi genocide victim, the Serbs… well, who knows. Those who suffered from Croatia – like Serbs and Jews – they may think so.
And what’s Kuhner got to say about that?
He will probably deny he is a Nazi, threaten lawsuit, and keep on printing Nazi-type invectives against Serbs (but not Jews) on Washington Post… perhaps be very proud that some text space is dedicated here.
