A point about this talk of intimidation.
The Soviets exploded the largest nuclear warhead on this planet decades ago. About 55 megatons. The US never matched that. Whether or not we could have is not relevant. The US never matched that.
There need be no further intimidation. They maxed it out a very long time ago.
Serbia was protecting itself. That was a no go, so we bombed the hell out of them to weaken Russia. Israel is protecting itself with their moves in the ME, why do we allow this?
We backed the wrong side in Serbia
What we did in bombing all of the bridges into Serbia was counterproductive to controlling Muslims incursions into Chrisian based nations. BIG mistake.
My Sisters husband was born in Croatia, he hated Serbians with a passion. I finally looked into the history.
Long story short, in WW 2 the Serbs were joining with the Allies against Germany. Serbia/Croatia are as close as Oklahoma and Texas. The Croatian military set a meeting with the Serbs to coordinate their response to Hitlers advances. The Croatians tipped off Germany, and attacked the main force with the help of Croatians. Killed much of their military forces in the brutal double cross.
After learning of this, and studying it a bit. I asked my B.I.L., he was totally PO’d and never talked man to man again with me.
The Serbs were our Allies in WW 2, Bosnia/Herzegovina was part of Yugoslavia. They lived neck and neck under the Soviets after the war, and Croatia was tight with Stalin/Kruschev. We bombed a 55 year ally for muzzies.
