Ask any of the authors if they advocate Russian troops opening fire on Americans. Not one of them will.

Expressing support for a Russian invasion of Kosovo - where U.S. troops are deployed - is effectively treason.

We need to keep Russia contained, not encouraging them to invade Kosovo. Russia continues to aid terrorist states like Iran and Syria, and many Americans have died in Iraq due to Russian support of Saddam Hussein.

Don’t get too bent out of shape, insults are the traditional tactic of the apologists on these Serbian echo-chamber threads because, well, they don’t have the facts to justify their long-standing tribal hatreds.

So, “idiot” = anyone who doesn’t buy into their Serbian lies & propaganda.

Some things never change.

Most are too smart to believe all the pro-Muslim lies and propaganda pushed by the media. Further, they know the Albanians are big liars and a very violent tribal people who still practice the blood feud.

You mean like when Serbia said it was serious about going after its war criminals from the 90s wars, and then turns around and gives them shelter?

Another foolish post. The Serbs in hiding are in BH, not Serbia. How come almost no one has been prosecuted from Croatia and BH? Considering atrocities committed on all sides, the world only condemns the Serbs.

Please post an article of Serbs practicing this blood feud. In northern Albania hundreds of children are home-bound for fear of being killed in these blood feuds.

No such thing in Serbia.

Further it was Serbs who were found to be telling the truth in the Albanian convoy bombing after NATO tried to blame it on the Serbs. NATO planes bombed and strafed an Albanian convoy in April 1999 killing around 86 civilians and claimed the Serbs did it until a western reporter found bomb remnants which were manufactured in the U.S. This prompted NATO to admit the bombing (which they would have known all along as they log and detail everything) but changed their story to the Serbs tricking them.

And the death toll from the wars are always much lower than the media and Muslims claimed and found to be in the largest part soldiers or militants.

Yup. And to think of all the Dhimmi whackjobs back in 2004 who were pushing for this guy to be POTUS! Almost as scary as Shrillary with a hotflash.

The bottom line is that three thousand U.S. troops are currently deployed there, along with the rest of NATO. Moscow must be given a clear message that no interference will be tolerated.

Anyone who advocates or accedes to Russian military involvement in Kosovo is acting against our troops.

Why are our troops there at all? To defend the rights of muslim terrorists, thanks to Clinton.
I dislike Putin but in this instance I wish for his response and welcome it. I wonder what he will say in public?

That is a separate issue. I didn't agree with Clinton starting an air war there, but I do realize that it is insane to invite Russian interference there now.

The Serbs are the Christians, the Muslims are liars , murderers and rapists.The Muslims are burning churches. They are actively pursuing the extermination campaign that got interrupted when their Nazi Allies were defeated in WW2. The area is now a training ground for terrorists and a drug/ weapons conduit that flows both ways. Yes the Russians are the bad guys to all my fellow freepers. I don’t like anything about Russia except their women! But...but...in this case they have a National interest in how this works out.They are the traditional allies of the Serbs. They will do something, I am sorry that we have troops there. I support my troops anywhere, anytime, but Russia can and will do something. Why are we on the side of vilest scum in the world, the Muslim terrorist operating in Central Europe? Because we elected people who make evil and morally corrupt decisions. Bill Clinton put us there and George Bush lets the Dhimmi run State Department keep us there protecting the snake until its fangs grow long enough to bit the hand that fed and nursed it.

SELF-DECLARED ABKHAZ PRESIDENT SERGEI BAGAPSH

"In the near future Abkhazia will appeal to the Russian parliament and the UN Security Council with a request to recognise its independence."

SOUTH OSSETIAN PRESIDENT EDUARD KOKOITY

"South Ossetia will in the near future appeal to... the UN with a request to recognise our independence."

Georgia and Russia, among other countries, how about Spain? will feel the boomerang effect of this one.

In a rare show of agreement with Moscow, a senior Georgian politician voiced opposition to an independent Kosovo on Sunday.

"The Georgian leadership will never recognize Kosovo's independence," said Konstantin Gabashvili, the chairman of the country's parliament's Foreign Relations Committee.

The Romanian minister of foreign affairs, Adrian Ciorajanu, stressed that the position of his country towards independent Kosovo has not changed, and his country will not recognise the declaration.
