BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — With all eyes on a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is sending his top security envoy to the Balkans where Moscow has been trying to maintain influence mainly through its ally Serbia, according to reports.

Russia also claimed US mercenaries were planning a chemical attack on the Russian rebels in Ukraine.
Doesn’t anyone ever learn? Bismarck said140 years ago
“ The whole of the Balkans isn’t worth the bones of a single Pomeranian Grenadier.”
So we basically SEVERED Kosovo from Serbia. Funny, I don’t remember any Democrats bothered by that (nor any Republicans, save Ron Paul, maybe). Seems like a double standard for Ukraine.
Anything Putin says is a lie. He is a paranoid psycho set on murdering thousands upon thousands.
Why the blazes hell is Albania in NATO? That country has been run by Muslim dictators forever!
Hmm
When did we hear similar strange sounding things?
Clinton’s war against the Balkans.
“Why the blazes hell is Albania in NATO? That country has been run by Muslim dictators forever!”
Yeah, no kidding. But, its joining NATO was a long process, involving several US administrations (the usual suspects: Bush I; Clinton: Bush II; Obama).
