Isn't this already a concern with SpaceX? That's why NASA crashed Cassini into Saturn - to prevent the contamination of Europa and other moons.

I think they're suggesting--badly--that the pivot point in the Balkans was whether or not you backed Serbia or Bulgaria.

They put Serbia and Bulgaria into a single circle because they ran out of space Also it makes little sense to exclude Romania or Greece if you are including Bulgaria.

That time period where after their first taste of kicking their former bully/colonial master's rear end (Ottomans), the young countries of the Balkans turned to each-other, flush with joy and engaged in a huge team spirit hug. Followed immediately by shouting, pushing, and all out mortal combat.

Somewhat notably, this horrified the social-democrats in Serbia and Bulgaria to such a degree that it ensured they voted against war credits when the time came for their respective countries to join the big war. Unfortunately for everyone on the planet, all the other social-democrats in Europe except for the Russian ones thought the war was a jolly good idea and voted yes. Special shoutout to Austrian marxists chanting "All Serbs must die" in the streets.

Perhaps the author believes that he Balkans is some sort of primordial concept from which all creation flows, singular in its transcendental Balkan origin, but a multitude through substantiation in the imperfect immanent world?

The true lesson of WWI is that if the Austrians hated Serbs a little less then the alliance system could have kept their collective trembling fingers poised over the mobilization button for long enough that it wouldn't matter anymore and Mitteleuropa would have taken its rightful place.
