And the cycle of revenge and pointless retributions that have made the Balkans such a pleasant place can then continue anew.
Wonderful.
I didn't say that is what I want to happen, but I believe that IS what will happen.
We stole sovereign Serbian land, and gave it to the Albanians. We allowed thousands of non-Albanians to be murdered on our watch and even killed a few thousand on our own. We allowed hundreds of thousands of non-Albanians to be expelled from Kosovo under our noses and have done nothing to facilitate their return. We allowed Muslim Albanians to tear down over 150 ancient Christian churches. We have allowed innocent Serb civilians (including some from a mental institution) to be kidnapped and killed so that the Albanians could sell off their organs, and we have not raised a single finger to catch the culprits. We take the Albanians side at every turn and never miss an opportunity to screw Serbs and Serbia, over & over again.
After all that, what else can you reasonably expect as an outcome?
Where do you think that this "cycle of revenge" started? It has been the result of invaders from the outside continually intervening and rearranging the Balkans to suit their interests, and then a backlash to put things back when they leave. The Balkans has always been used as "Europe's chessboard", and while the outside players change, the game is always paid with Balkan blood. All invaders say that they "come to bring peace" and all they do is "set up the next war". This time is no different than all the times before it.
cycle of revenge and pointless retributions
Will you say that when we are forced to return land to Mexico?... and they have a far far better claim to land than the Albanian Shiptars who have none to Kosovo in fact.
Would Reagan recognize the seizure of Aztlan by illegal immigrants who then declared independence?
Then why should the Serbs?
They know the foreign troops will grow tired and go home one day, and the fiction of Kosovo independence will pass like a candle flame in a wind tunnel.
