    Sure, but Yugoslavia was never the heart of the imperial core. There’s no way the US balkanizes over something like this, it would be completely devastating to global capitalist hegemony. They won’t destroy themselves over something like this.

      If they really thought like this they would have made sure Bernie won so that they could buy themselves more time before worsening material conditions radicalize people.

      Objectively that would be better for the survival of capital than leaning harder into neoliberal austerity

      This is not a rational system making careful decisions
