The Serbs have no right to complain, their nationalistic and genocidal pretensions caused the whole mess in the region in the first place. If Serbia wants to go on the war path a few well-placed MOABs in downtown Belgrade should shut them up.
Well that is what the US / NATO would like us to think. It helps justify their intervention. But one cannot look at the recent conflict in the old Yugoslavia and simply say “Serbs bad, everyone else good”. For instance, an important factor in the whole mess is the artificial borders drawn by Tito (a Croat who wanted to minimise Serb influence), and the West’s insistence on recognising them.
The fact is that Yugoslavia was a sovereign state trying to put down a Kosovan Liberation Army guerilla uprising within its own borders. It had nothing to do with the United States or Britain.
What’s more, NATO’s excuse for bombing Serb civilians was that Serbia (understandably) refused to allow NATO troops to occupy their country (all of Serbia that is, not just Kosovo). It was after NATO started bombing Serbia that the Serbs really stepped up their ethnic cleansing of Albanians.
And then, after NATO “peacekeeping” forces moved in, the Kosovo Albanians returned and ethnically cleansed Kosovo of about 250,000 Serbs (many of whom had already been ethnically cleansed years earlier from Croatia or Bosnia).
The history of the area is pretty complicated, and I intend to find out more. It’s certainly more complicated than our elites would want us to believe. So what exactly were they up to? I think it comes down to our globalist elites demonstrating their "right" and ability to interfere in the affairs of sovereign nations, and crushing anyone ('nationalists' for instance) they perceive as standing in the way of their one-world utopian plans Wherever feasible of course. I don’t think the US or Britain is going to be bombing China for the sake of the Tibetans any time soon, even though the Tibetans have a better historic claim to Tibet than the Albanians have to Kosovo.
