Declassified 1945 Venzia Giulia Italy Map Created By The CIA 

This 1945 map shows the ethnic and political tensions in the disputed border region of Venezia Giulia after World War II. The area included important cities such as Trieste, Gorizia, Pola, and Fiume (now Rijeka), and both Italy and Yugoslavia claimed the territory after the war.

The map uses red and blue dots to show the distribution of Italians and Yugoslav peoples (mainly Slovenes and Croats) based on 1921 census data.

Large circles indicate major population centers, especially around Trieste and Pola, where Italians formed large urban majorities, while many rural inland areas had mostly Slavic populations. The inset at the bottom left compares proposed postwar boundaries, including Italian and Yugoslav territorial claims.

This map was likely created for Allied diplomats and occupation officials during the 1945 peace negotiations.

The ethnic mixture of the region made it extremely difficult to draw borders acceptable to both sides, and the dispute became one of the first major tensions of the early Cold War.

Eventually, Trieste became a temporary Free Territory before most of the region was divided between Italy and Yugoslavia in the 1950s.

Pijani Nemci so morali izkopati trupla Ehrlicha, Natlačena, študentov Župca, Kiklja, ..... Žrtve vosovskih morilcev so nato nalo��ili na kamion in jih odpeljali proti Postojni, kjer so jih vrgli v neznano brezno. In tam so še danes! Novi zakon jih ne bo vrnil na Žale!

The First Crusade was a response to the Turkic conquest of Anatolia in the late 11th century.

It was western Christians coming to the aid of native eastern Christians to take back recently lost territory from invading Turks.

Europe is on a path to destroying itself.

Unchecked immigration of millions of immigrants that burden their welfare states, bring violence and terrorism to their shores, and take over local governance, one city at a time.

Anti-capitalist policies that make it difficult for businesses to adapt their workforces to a rapidly changing competitive environment now accelerating due to AI.

A business environment and tax regime that is antithetical to startups.

The absence of any progress or innovation in AI and limited access to the compute necessary to compete.

Energy dependence due to the green movement at a moment when energy demands are rapidly increasing.

And now, the abandonment of the U.S. when we have asked for limited assistance — base access and flyover rights — in the midst of our efforts to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and ballistic threat which is already within striking range of Europe, after we have invested nearly $200 billion in helping Ukraine.

NATO is about to be toast. Europe’s defense burden is about to rise massively while their economies continue to fall further and further behind.

In short, Europe needs to wake up before it is too late, and it may very well be too late.

No, pri g. Podbregarju je sicer treba tudi povedati, da ni le bivši direktor Sove, ampak tudi ex predsednik LDS, in da je, denimo, v sodnem procesu zoper Balkanske bojevnike kot priča - na predlog odvetniške pisarne Čeferin - pričal v korist Bojevnikov.
