Yesterdays barbarous terrorist criminals were miraculously transformed into intrepid Albanian "Freedom Fighters," as they poured in to destroy churches, monasteries, Serbian villages, rape nuns, burn their convents and fought to ethnically cleanse Kosovo of Serbians.
But then, those rascally Serbians had the nerve to actually fight back and bring the wrath of the West down on themselves to take Kosovo away and hand it to the Albanians. Putin is, IMNVHO, exactly correct. If NATO can take Kosovo from Serbia (without a referendum,) why can't Russia take back the Crimea with one? Turnabout is fair play.
But forget foreigners for a moment. Does our POTUS actually not know there wasn't any Kosovo "referendum"? Does this man know anything? Can he say anything intelligent or even intelligible that is not put before him on a teleprompter?
What was 53% of the electorate (of those who bothered to show up ... which means 26.5% of the eligible voters) thinking when they chose this turd?

Such hypocritical remarks by you demonstrate how you are just as much an apologist for rape, robbery, torture, murder, genocide, and other crimes against humanity as were the German NAZIs, the Muslim allies serving as Germany’s SS troops, and the Stalinist Russian regime. You totally disregard the fact that the extremists in both camps, so-called Christians and Muslims, are guilty since millenia ago of the most atrocious crimes and war crimes in defiance of the condemnations of people on both sides who want only peaceful relations with each other. You also omit altogether the role of the Serbian government with inciting the Muslims and others in Kosovo to resist the Serbian’s inhumane crimes perpetrated against them before they organized to defend themselves militarily.
To further your pathetic attempt at propagating disinformation, you omit how the lawfully elected legislature of Kosovo exercised the powers it had under the laws of the Yugoslavian government to separate the already autonomous government of Kosovo while remaining a federal state of Yugoslavia.
You omit how the government of Serbia intensified the criminal persecution of the inhabitants of Kosovo, the ethnic cleansing of tens of thousands of Kosovars, including the same rapes and murders about which you hypocritically complain.
You omit how Serbia likewise refused to halt its criminal acts of persecution in Kosovo while also refusing to negotiate with the leaders of Kosovo to end the conflict without the people of Kosovo resorting to armed resistance to such crimes by Serbians.
You omit how the United Nations and NATO have formal obligations to act as peacemakers in situations like this, where extremists on both sides must be forcibly restrained from combatting each other and perpetrating crimes against humanity upon their respective populations.
You omit how Russia obstructed often efforts to restrain the Serbians and Bosmian Serbs from continuing with the atrocities in the rape camps, mass murders, and ethnic cleansing.
The United Nations and NATO performed their obligations and duties to stop the war crimes being committed by all parties to the conflict, reestablish peaceful civil affairs and government, and reconcile the belligerents to whatever extent the belligerents would accept. In the case of Kosovo, Serbia remained intransigent about recognizing the Yugoslavian legal authority for Kosovo to elect a separate status as a state within the Yugoslavian federation. The legislature elected by the voters in Kosovo voted for separation from Serbia and federation with Yugoslavia. On the later occasions this was also accomplished lawfully under the supervision of the united Nations, OSCE, and NATO.
Consequently, it is an atrocious lie to claim for one second that the lawful intervention of NATO and the United Nations to compel an end to the violence Serbia imposed upon the people of Kosovo is somehow supposed to be comparable to Russia’s invasion, conquest, and annexation of Ukrainian territory in the Crimea.
“Turnabout is fair play.”
Since Russia’s invasion and annexation of the Crimea is a breach of its agreement to respect the territorial integrity of the Ukrain, a grave breach of international law and international peace, and in no way comparable ot the situation in Kosovo’s status in the Yugoslavian federation; the situation is not a turnabout or fair play at all. Instead, it is just more malicious disinformation used as false propaganda to incite more ethnic cleansing, mass, murders, and a Russian war upon its neighbor states.
