A radical change in mood among the people is more and more evident. Is it a tsunami in the making?On Sunday, 29 December 2024,
Croatia held presidential elections. The incumbent President
Zoran Milanović won the first round in a landslide against the pro-globalist challenger
Dragan Primorac. Primorac was strongly backed by the ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Union, led by the Prime Minister
Andrej Plenković who has been a loyal supporter of NATO, US, UK and EU policies. In winning the Presidency, the ruling party would have captured all of Croatia's key institutions of government.

(Another) Putin's stooge winsTo push their candidate over the line the ruling establishment and the media relentlessly demonized President Milanović as Putin's stooge and a pro-Russian player on account of his unwillingness to engage Croatian troops in NATO's excellent adventures in Ukraine. Well, their cunning plan backfired spectacularly and Putin's stooge won nearly 50% of the popular vote vs. less than 20% for the pro-freedom & democracy challenger. That's about as close as it gets to a landslide in Croatian politics.
It would appear that, not only is there no appetite for the Empire and its military misadventures, but below the surface, the mood toward Russia is changing, and changing in a big way.
