2.Why did we support Muslim drug runners instead of Serbian Christians?
3. Now that the Russians are supporting the Serbs as they traditionally do, what happens next?
Somebody sort this out for me, please. I think that this is the end product of yet one more Clinton foreign policy screw up, with mad Madeline Albright as the arrogant, ignorant point person.
Hopefully, a Russian or Serbian tank army rolls into Kosovo a month or so prior to the election in November.
Well, as I suggested before, ask Hoplite - he's the only person in this forum who (supposedly) has the intellectual capacity to answer all the your questions.
Ask him...because I'm getting tired of this.
Some evidence from German sources says that the reason we went there was because "Eisenhower made a mistake by not setting up a US military base in the Balkans post-WWII" to threaten Russia with, so this was a correction of that "mistake". The fact that it required bombing innocent Christians for 78 straight days, illegally conquering territory from a country that never attacked us, violating every international law back to the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia and destabilizing the entire region in support of these Muslim narco-terrorists, was secondary to this objective.
2."Why did we support Muslim drug runners instead of Serbian Christians?"
Because the Muslim drug runners were willing to play ball with us on this, especially if we agreed to conquer a piece of territory for them. Also those Muslim drug runners poured $ Millions into the campaign coffers of our political candidates and into PR for the war.
3. "Now that the Russians are supporting the Serbs as they traditionally do, what happens next?"
Even ex-Ambassador to Serbia, William Montgomery, says that no one in the State Department has thought that far ahead. Foggy Bottom only thought in terms of getting Kosovo to declare "independence" and having some Western countries recognize it. They thought that "Kosovo recognition" would snowball on its own momentum and that Serbia & Russia would "stand aside" -- instead, Kosovo recognition looks like it is going to stop at about one-third of countries & never get UN recognition, and Serbia & Russia aren't taking it laying down. We have no game-plan for this. What happens next is anybody's guess.
If you are looking for sanity, morality or anything rational in our behavior other than unbridled hubris and sheer arrogance, you are unlikely to find it. The "humanitarian" descriptor was just a cover story for something that had no human consideration whatever.
And, oh -- by the way -- an independent Kosovo is economically inviable and we will be supporting it and its population forever.
They are useful idiots, in this case they are not just moslems,they are Otomans, the worst enemies of Eastern Orthodox Christians.
Traditionally, Russians throughout history were always viewed as defenders of Eastern Orthodox Christians.
What next is a good question.
