Istria was populated from Italians and part of Italy, but they were forced to flee from there as they were subjected to attacks and pogroms. Then Istria become part of Yugoslavia.

That leads us to another question. Since the USA was smart enough to hoodwink the old European empires and sneak off with the crown jewels. Then turn around and establish hegemony without lifting a rifle, why doesn't Old Europe recognize our strategic superiority and co-operate in achieving our common goals? Envy? Is the EU in a snit because they think they can regain their empires? As long as I'm asking questions, Now that the EU is ONE nation, which Security Council seat will you give up? It isn't right for the EU to have 2 seats. I don't think it is allowed either. Plus all those former nations in what was old Europe need to give up their general assembly seats. Otherwise Texas and California would have seats in the General assembly too. #40 Pragmatist,

Specifically, there IS a language called Austrian, and it ain't German. I knew an old bat in New York, an immigrant who always insisted that Franz Josef was her King. She often spoke an odd language which at the time I didn't recognize; when asked, she said that it was Austrian. I later learned that it was Italian. She herself was almost certainly Croatian, though she invariably called herself Austrian. So ... you would call the language native to her area (Fiume, near Trieste) Italian, I would call it Italian, but a native called it Austrian. Go figure.

However there is silver lining to all this - Polish businesses now happily go to Iran trying to get Iranian oil business. And the more business they get the more happy I will be for them. Thanks to Obama. @34

Sorry, he can’t do that since his Austrian is perfect.

Now we know that just weeks ago, when Obama was busy finessing his golf, Russia and Bielorussia conducted a large krieg-spiel at the Polish border, on the scenario of a post-nuclear strike, then invasion of Poland. Hardly an encouraging response to Obama's expectations from Russia after his astute removal of the missile shield from Europe - no Iran deal, yet the bully is back on the NATO's eastern border. Also, Russia again began the gas valve game with Ukraine, then since winter is here, expect more excitement in the Russia-Baltic republics relationships. Incompetence? Deliberate sedition and betrayal of America's interests? Considering that Obama was able to cynically & cruelly delay the help to our troops in Afghanistan in order to try to secure some radical votes in tomorrow's elections, I see all his foreign affairs moves as sheer sedition.
