Criminal, crazed enterprise. A page of civil war out of time, for nothing.
Hey, it worked for Castro 15 years earlier. They presumed that large protests the year before meant that they'd be able to recruit a lot of people to fight the regime. What they planned to arm those people with, I have no idea.Criminal, crazed enterprise. A page of civil war out of time, for nothing.
Also Yugoslavia is not Cuba, you don't have snow in Cuba, and you have more cover to hide in I would thinkHey, it worked for Castro 15 years earlier.

General question, how ideological diciplined would have been Yugoslavia's army and Territorial Defence in case of a confrontation with an outside enemy during Tito's regency ? Would the various ethnic groups play along ? Secret services might look for opportunities to stirr ethnic division to weaken the armed forces of Peoples Republic. There is and had been this conspiracy theory in the present day Balkan Nations, that the West, especially Germany is responsible for the division of Yugoslavia in the 90es.I was reading the comments of this video http://www.forgottenweapons.com/the-yugoslav-m56-submachine-gun-perhaps-too-simple/ and a question came up Yugoslavia's enemies during the Cold War, who exactly did they expect to fight? How did they respond to that?
I think they would have stayed fairly coherent and cohesive, the reason why Yugoslavia fell is because the USSR fell. They let off the fear, especially without Tito keeping it together.General question, how ideological diciplined would have been Yugoslavia in case of a confrontation with an outside enemy during Tito's regency ?

I don't see where I'm comparing the legitimacy of the two regimes in my post. I'm just stating that at the time it seemed like landing a small group to begin fostering a guerilla war was a feasible endeavour.Be serious! How you can compare the legitimacy of Tito's regime with that of Batista? Yugoslavia that had fought a ferocious civil war AND a war of liberation against a double foreign occupation, liquidating mercilessly the forces of collaboration; Batista's Cuba was a brothel-casino run by the mafia, all worsened by the abject subservience to Washington (ok, it's still a brothel today for many, to be true)
