Is it a bad thing to have a fertile imagination? Absolutely not! But you could be getting paid for it instead of entertaining the forumers here for free.
I’m happy to be paid ‘retirement’ cash .. to “go off and do something else” … how many £££ million are you offering?? 😂
Shaking the heavily corrupted Western Establishment undeground Deep State .. for fun .. and for free ?? … what could be a more worthy cause for the benefit of indigenous Britons and Humanity in general??
+++++++++++
I was just puzzled how (what some people like Vinny almost called) a washed-up political Leader, that championed ‘independence’ in it’s purer ideological form, … would end up in a place like Macedonia … possibly sharing Scotland’s journey fighting for ‘TRUE self-determination and control … TRUE INDEPENDENCE’ with N. Macedonians??
Maybe, I’m being too generous describing the Alba Party … maybe they were slaves to EU handouts … just like Sturgeon … willing to handover ‘Sovereignty’ for the price of a cheap Brussels political conference fat cat luncheon??
Probably the clue lies in here what Alex was up to : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia
… and here it is …. NATO and the EU now want to get their greedy dirty skullduggery asset-stripping mittens on N. Macedonia. More eastern expansionism.
“ Declaration of independence
North Macedonia officially celebrates 8 September 1991 as Independence day (Macedonian: Ден на независноста, Den na nezavisnosta), with regard to the referendum endorsing independence from Yugoslavia.[118] The anniversary of the start of the Ilinden Uprising (St. Elijah's Day) on 2 August is also widely celebrated on an official level as the Day of the Republic.
Robert Badinter, as the head of the Arbitration Commission of the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia, recommended EC recognition in January 1992.[119] On 15 January 1992, Bulgaria was the first country to recognise the independence of the republic.
Macedonia remained at peace through the Yugoslav Wars of the early 1990s. A few very minor changes to its border with Yugoslavia were agreed upon to resolve problems with the demarcation line between the two countries. It was seriously destabilised by the Kosovo War in 1999, when an estimated 360,000 ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo took refuge in the country.[120] They departed shortly after the war, and Albanian nationalists on both sides of the border took up arms soon after in pursuit of autonomy or independence for the Albanian-populated areas of Macedonia.[120][121]

Map of operations during the 2001 insurgency
A conflict took place between the government and ethnic Albanian insurgents, mostly in the north and west of the country, between February and August 2001.[121][122][123] The war ended with the intervention of a NATO ceasefire monitoring force. Under the terms of the Ohrid Agreement, the government agreed to devolve greater political power and cultural recognition to the Albanian minority.[124] The Albanian side agreed to abandon separatist demands and to recognise all Macedonian institutions fully. In addition, according to this accord, the NLA were to disarm and hand over their weapons to a NATO force.[125] However the Macedonian security forces had two more armed confrontations with Albanian militant groups, in 2007 and 2015 respectively.
Inter-ethnic tensions flared in Macedonia in 2012, with incidents of violence between ethnic Albanians and Macedonians.[126] In April 2017, about 200 protesters - reportedly mostly from the conservative VMRO-DPMNE party, stormed the Macedonian Parliament in response to the election of Talat Xhaferi, an ethnic Albanian and former National Liberation Army commander during the 2001 conflict, as the Speaker of the Assembly.[127][128]
Antiquisation
Main articles: Antiquisation and Macedonism
Upon its coming to power in 2006, but especially since the country's non-invitation to NATO in 2008, the VMRO-DPMNE government pursued a policy of "Antiquisation" ("Antikvizatzija") as a way of putting pressure on Greece as well as for the purposes of domestic identity-building.[129] Statues of Alexander the Great and Philip of Macedon have been erected in several cities across the country. Additionally, many pieces of public infrastructure, such as airports, highways, and stadiums were renamed after Alexander and Philip. These actions were seen as deliberate provocations in neighbouring Greece, exacerbating the dispute and further stalling the country's EU and NATO applications.[130] The policy has also attracted criticism domestically, as well as from EU diplomats,[129] and, following the Prespa agreement, it has been partly reversed after 2016 by the new SDSM government of North Macedonia.[131][132] Moreover, per Prespa agreement both countries have acknowledged that their respective understanding of the terms "Macedonia" and "Macedonian" refers to a different historical context and cultural heritage.

Symbolic signing of the Prespa agreement
In August 2017, what was then the Republic of Macedonia signed a friendship agreement with Bulgaria, aiming to end the "anti-Bulgarian ideology" in the country and to solve the historical issues between the two.
Under the Prespa agreement, signed with Greece on 17 June 2018, the country agreed to change its name to the Republic of North Macedonia and stop public use of the Vergina Sun. It retained the demonym "Macedonian", but clarified this as distinct from the Hellenistic Macedonian identity in northern Greece. The agreement included removal of irredentist material from textbooks and maps in both countries, and official UN recognition of the Slavic Macedonian language. It replaced the bilateral Interim Accord of 1995.[133]
The withdrawal of the Greek veto, along with the signing the friendship agreement with Bulgaria, resulted in the European Union on 27 June approving the start of accession talks, which were expected to take place in 2019, under the condition that the Prespa deal was implemented.[134] On 5 July, the Prespa agreement was ratified by the Macedonian parliament with 69 MPs voting in favour of it.[135] On 12 July, NATO invited Macedonia to start accession talks in a bid to become the alliance's 30th member.[136] On 30 July, the parliament of Macedonia approved plans to hold a non-binding referendum on changing the country's name, which took place on 30 September.[137] Ninety-one percent of voters voted in favour with a 37% turnout,[138] but the referendum was not carried because of a constitutional requirement for a 50% turnout.[139]
North Macedonia commemorates its accession to NATO at the US Department of State.
On 6 February 2019, the permanent representatives of NATO member states and Macedonian Foreign Affairs Minister Nikola Dimitrov, signed in Brussels the accession protocol of North Macedonia into NATO.[140][141] The protocol was then ratified on 8 February by the Greek parliament, thus completing all the preconditions for putting into force the Prespa agreement. Subsequently, on 12 February the Macedonian government announced the formal activation of the constitutional amendments which effectively renamed the country as North Macedonia and informed accordingly the United Nations and its member states.[142][143][144]
In March 2020, after the ratification process by all NATO members was completed, North Macedonia acceded to NATO, becoming the 30th member state.[145][146] The same month, the leaders of the European Union formally gave approval to North Macedonia to begin talks to join the EU.[147][148] On 17 November 2020, Bulgaria refused to approve the European Union's negotiation framework for North Macedonia, effectively blocking the official start of accession talks with this country.[149] The explanation from the Bulgarian side was: no implementation of the friendship treaty from 2017, state-supported hate speech, minority claims, and an "ongoing nation-building process" based on historical negationism of the Bulgarian identity, culture and legacy in the broader region of Macedonia.[150] The veto received condemnation by intellectuals from both states[151] and criticism from international observers.[152][153][154]
Protests broke out in July 2022, organized by the opposition parties, over the French proposal for the accession of North Macedonia to the EU.[155] The accession talks for the accession of North Macedonia to the EU officially began in the same month, after the French proposal was passed by the Assembly of North Macedonia.[156]
The 2023 European Commission Progress Report has cited the unfulfilled constitutional changes, as the primary reasons for the blocking of the further country's accession path. The EU's intention regarding the country's accession seems unclear, excluding desire to maintain its geopolitical influence here, countering the Chinese and Russian impact in the Western Balkans.”
The British experience, loss of Power and Sovereignty … is probably why the Macedonians would be well advised to keep the EU and NATO out of THEIR COUNTRY.
…. HANDING IT ALL OVER TO BRUSSELS and U.S. Military control is a very dangerous strategy …
…. Once you invite in the Americans and Israelis + their Arms industries into sorting out insurgency? … likely backed by CIA interference … in Russian border regions like this … you are flirting with PERMANENT U.S./EU Zionist occupancy, the subjugation and take-over of your MSM … and a risk your Country will become a ‘battle ground’ … for Dr Strangelove NUTTERS to enjoy their ‘genocidal’ expansionisms.
…. As happened in Ukraine. ….
In light of all the information above … if Alex was acting as an ‘Ambassador of the EU and NATO’ … maybe Russia might have been involved in lunchtime preparations☠️🧐??!
…. The plot thickens! ….
…. but, if that was the case … Alex would have got an immediate RAF flight home, … with full support for the family.
… and that never happened. …. Hmmmm …. 🤔
So in summary … the New World Order Plan is to subjugate the region, grab it’s resources, drive in their tanks … like they did in Ukraine, Finland and Sweden … while The People are distracted …. resulting in further attempts towards Eastern expansionism …. asset grabbing and power stripping … => further risk of nuclear war with Russia … as Israeli-passport holding NUTTERS … FORMENT a NAZI PLAN to destroy Russia and China.
CRAZY, EH??🤯☠️🫣😎
🤡World madness.
Why can’t this handful of insane anarchists just be rounded up, arrested, incarcerated in one of their DUMBS? … WE seal the doors from the outside … weld them shut for all eternity …. ?? … Bury them in more concrete.🤣
Only then will we have a chance to repair all the damage they are doing worldwide … and live in PEACE. 👍
