Absolutely agree. Might we also not require the same from the Bosnians, and especially the Albanians?
There are no angels in the Balkans. The United States taking one side or the other does not change that side into angels.
Imagine this scenario: illegal and quite legal aliens become the dominant demographic in a sovereign state. After a period of autonomy, and then independence supported by foreign powers, they wish, vote, or fight to annex that state to their own neighboring country, dominating, confiscating the property, exiling, or worse all those not of their particular demographic.

“Might we also not require the same from the Bosnians, and especially the Albanians?”
Absolutely. But, let’s not equivocate the mass murder of thousands by decree of Serbian government officials with acts by non-sanctioned individuals.

And this is exactly what the Russians have done over time in Ukraine. They shipped off thousands to Siberia during Soviet era purges. The then sent many more thousands to replace these inhabitants from Russia proper.
Now, they wish to hold “elections”, which are entirely illegal according to the Ukraine constitution, inside of Ukraine. Using the “replacements” of Russian extraction to give the ignorant-to-history crowd of useful idiots, cheap, though invalid reasoning to declare Crimea...desiring to be part of Russia.
