As I said, he’s pretty knowledgable about the Middle East, but Kosovo and the balkans are not the Middle East.
Just because he knows a lot about one part of the world doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s an expert on another.

“Just because he knows a lot about one part of the world doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s an expert on another.”
No, but he came by this expertise very quickly through observation. This is a guy who went to Lebanon (and Iraq, etc. later) just a few years ago cold. At some point you have to trust the man.
