You just may be spot on! I always why Clinton was so quick to start dropping bombs on the civilians of Belgrade..
Most interesting - the long-term origins of this conflict.
This author is the woman that admitted that homosexual marriage was instituted to destroy heterosexual marriage. Look it up.
This time Putin mentioned Kosovo. Indeed, in his speech to parliament on Tuesday, he made it very clear that by annexing Crimea he had avenged Russia for what had happened with Kosovo.
“It was our Western partners who created the precedent; they did it themselves, with their own hands, as it were, in a situation that was totally analogous to the Crimean situation, by recognizing Kosovo's secession from Serbia as legitimate,” said Putin. And then, as he cited American statements on Kosovo, he got more and more worked up until he said, “They wrote it themselves. They spread this all over the world. They screwed everybody—and now they are outraged!” (The Kremlin's official translators, who are forever civilizing the Russian president's speech, translated this sentence as “They wrote this, disseminated it all over the world, had everyone agree, and now they are outraged!” The expression Putin used, however, was “vsekh nagnuli,” street slang for having had nonconsensual anal sex with everybody, rather than for having everybody agree.)
Madeleine Albright came from a Jewish family and in WW2 they fled the Nazis —they sheltered in a Serb town that she later bombed to smithereens, as Clinton’s Secretary of State.
I’m afraid this is all too obvious.
Clinton fought that war on the wrong side, helping Albanian illegal immigrants and invaders steal Kosovo from the Serbs—who, it was noted at the time, were the Russians’ “little brothers.”
It was against our interest, but it was even more against Russia’s interest.
That led to Russia’s assault on Georgia, and now—among other causes—to this.
I’m amazed that Slate would publish this.
Be wary of Democrats with compensation issues.
Sadly, Ukraine is a country that refuses to pay its bills. It gets cheap gas from Russia but won’t pay, the Chinese are asking for money, and the IMF canceled its first bailout because there were no reforms going on. Ukraine just wanted IMF cash.
This is not a country to start a war over.
There is no such thing as a “Kosovar.” She was kidnapped by the Albanians.
Oh, wait...
Oh, wait.....
We were on the wrong side in Kosovo and we are on the wrong side of Crimea now!
