If anyone has ever transcribed the soul of Donald Trump into coherent and reasoned sentences, it’s Max Primorac. A Croatian-American conservative, Christian, cynic, and doctor of common sense in one body.
His interview is not just a political self-revelation, but a moral and intellectual map of Western panic. And a no-gloves view of the Balkans.
Primorac coolly exposes USAID, his former home, as a nest of ideological corruption. He talks of billions of U.S. dollars not as charity, but as a mechanism for funding liberal extremism, the abortion lobby, LGBTQI+ agendas, and the import of political operatives for the left.
In his testimony to Congress, USAID is depicted as using the poor as a PR backdrop while billions were sunk into self-promotion.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, he says, that money vanished into NGO networks that didn’t serve people, but “the international community.”
Everything we’ve written about for years, and of which we’ve ourselves been victims, Primorac condensed into one razor-sharp interview.
The “Bosnian identity,” according to him, is an artificial construct forced upon people by foreigners and their local proxies.
And about the Croats?
He finally proves he’s someone who understands the Croatian issue in BiH firsthand. He speaks of Bosniak numerical dominance, of elections not lost but stolen, of leaders being selected according to Sarajevo’s political needs rather than the people’s will. He calls out Murphy and Miller as messengers of an anti-Christian doctrine within the State Department. Dayton, he says, is no longer alive—it has been turned by the OHR into a lab, not a constitution.
But perhaps the most crucial point lies not in Bosnia. The key question Primorac asks the entire EU: Can Europe survive if it relies on American money for defense while expressing contempt for America? His answer is clear: it cannot.
In Primorac’s view, Trump is not a threat to NATO but a demand. A final notice. Either you pay for your defense, or we will charge you more. Either you build your own ships, or China will buy your ports. Either you reach a deal with the peoples in BiH, or you watch the next crisis unfold.
Max Primorac does not offer utopias. He presents a cost-benefit sheet. Who pays? Who profits?
He suggests what no Western diplomatic instrument dares to say aloud: Bosnia and Herzegovina will survive only if the Office of the High Representative shuts down and the Dayton Agreement is reread. Without scripts. Without tutors. Without the mythology of “citizens” who exist only on foreign grant lists.
MILKA PLANINC OR TRUMP: What will HDZ Croatia do now?
Instead of capitalizing on this new American doctrine and finally freeing itself from its habit of carrying Brussels’ coat, today’s HDZ behaves like it doesn’t know what century it’s in. As if it’s more interested in its seating chart in the EU Parliament than the actual demographic map of Kupres, Rama, and Posavina.
While Washington clearly signals that the era of reeducating Balkan peoples in the name of “democracy” is over, in Zagreb, the silence is deafening. This is the government of Milka Planinc, Berlin is their new Stalingrad, and they function like a tourist office of the CDU — the party that sent its colonial governor to BiH to write laws in place of the people.
What Primorac said about BiH—that it no longer functions, that reforms are only possible if the OHR leaves, and that peoples should decide without foreign tutors—is also a message for Croatia. Either it reclaims its voice in foreign policy or it will again be remembered as the one that “knew but remained silent.”
And all of this would be less tragic if it weren’t so deeply psychological. Because HDZ, the party born under the wings of American F-16s, now remains silent while that very same Washington (at least in its Republican form) offers a chance to revive Croatian foreign policy.
Will HDZ have the courage to break from its communist tailoring, from the doctrine of external authority inherited through Milka Planinc and Granić’s doctrine of eternal appeasement? From a world where everything is agreed upon in advance, where nothing is disturbed, and where silence is golden?
Or will it wait for Max Primorac to draw them another map of the territory?
If nothing else, they should at least answer this:
Did Max Primorac just say, from an American platform, what HDZ no longer dares to say out loud?
