OK Wayne, obviously in all of history’s unjust acts of aggression, you are right, it wouldn’t make the Top 10.
But lets look at it another way too. A Country so great as ours, probably the greatest Country do-date, bombed/slaughtered a nation due to politics and siding with evil.
excellent post. to think only Democrats are the enemies of this Country is foolish.
ek, in your opinion, why were the globalists/NWOs so intent on bombing the Serbs?
I have my opinions which aren’t worth much, what is yours?
Thanks
A “liberated” Kosovo beholden would be (and is today) a permanent vassal state of the globalist elite. It’s no accident that George Soros was one of the leading backers of the campaign against Serbia.
interesting. Not sure how true, but knowing what we know about the Clintons, Obamas handlers, NWO/Globalists, etc I’d wouldn’t bet against what you wrote.
I remember when this was happening. As a solid conservative, I too naively ate up the lies that I read in the papers. “Hey, we have to stop genocide, right”.
But back then the internet wasn’t really in the swing and a man/woman had limited sources for truthful info.
I mean Randy Weaver was a white supremacist who was selling illegal arms in that “hot bed racist” area on N Idaho.
And the Davidians were sexually abusing kids.
And the Serbs were genocidal for no reason.
etc
etc
Later after doing some internet research on the Balkans years later, I realized the lies of our Govt. and how truly evil they are and have been.
does Kosovo offer anything strategic ek, or was the destruction of the Serbs more important?
There was also an ideological side to it, the internationalists made an example of Serbia, basically saying "this is what happens to you when ethno-nationalists in Europe get too uppity and try to stand up to us" (they were willing to indulge Albanian ethno-nationalism to do so, since they perceived the Kosovars as significantly weaker and less of a threat - I wonder what they would have done if the Kosovars had the upper hand)?
It was also probably partly done as a gesture of goodwill to the Saudis, who were funding and arming the KLA at the time.
good insight - thanks
Louise Arbour of Canada was described by two Canadian lawyers as the "unindicted war criminal". She was the UN human rights guru. Ammanpour was guilty as well. I understand Hilary Clinton had urged Bill Clinton to do what he did.
The shouts of "ethnic cleansing" to describe the actions of the Serbs were parroted incessantly. This by the North American media. Female anchors were using this phrase, often with a rasp in their voice. It was in fact a description of what has happened in Kosovo to the Serbs. The figures are available.
Read the articles by Paul Watson, Los Angeles Times. He was on the ground in Belgrade and could not figure out why we kept bombing CIVILIAN targets, which included bridges and schools. Clinton wanted to bring Serbia to its knees, and he did.
The only question I ask is WHY?
McCain practically begged Clinton to nuke Belgrade.
Remember the photos of McCain marching with the KLA in New York City?
Not General Sir Michael Jackson...
He gained significant media attention in June 1999 after a confrontation with Clark in which he refused to block the runways of the Russian-occupied Pristina Airport and isolate the Russian troops there, thus preventing them from flying in reinforcements, after the order was queried by Captain James Blount. In one heated discussion with Clark, Jackson reputedly told him "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you". ["Confrontation over Pristina airport," BBC News, 09 March 2000]
YUp.
The one guy who stood there and told Clark to pound sand.
Clark was reportedly furious if memory serves.
A huge apology would be a great start.
Do the name Franz Ferdinand recall any significant historical moments from the XX Century?
The largest US base is now located in Kosovo.For what?
As usual with the Clintons, follow the money. And also take especial note of who the neighbors were in the vicinity where Vince Foster's body was dumped.
Too, recall that one of the early primary targets on the bombing was a museum....
