Reply to comment by K41_sky in US, EU, NATO urge restraint as Serbia-Kosovo border crossings close by VanGoghEnjoyer

>Dear US citizen , you are like a newborn when it comes to a civilisation's lifespan.

The US is over 300 years old and has had modern democracy and modern civilization MUCH longer than most of Eastern Europe. It also started as a colony of one of the greatest planet spanning empires that ever existed. I don't know why Europeans think this is a valid argument, most of your countries are more 'newborn' than the US.

Russia wants to test NATO, so it's using Serbia. And the Serbian government is stupid enough to go along with it.

It also doesn’t really matter. That France has been around for over a thousand years doesn’t mean anyone in France has.

Technically, the Fifth French Republic was created in 1958. So France is only 64 years old.

The U.S. is actually one of the oldest currently existing countries.
