NATO Force on Alert amid Kosovo Tensions As Russia Warns against Conflict
Tasnim News Agency ^ | 8/1/22 | Tasnim News Agency

Posted on 08/01/2022 4:13:38 AM PDT by JonPreston

The NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) peacekeepers were spotted late on Saturday in the city of Kosovska Mitrovica, located in the north of Serbia’s breakaway region of Kosovo.

The force, apparently Italian carabinieri units, were spotted guarding a bridge across the Ibar river, footage from the scene circulated by local media shows. The bridge splits the city into the northern Serb-populated part, and the predominantly ethnic-Albanian south.

KFOR, the NATO-led peacekeeping mission, said in a statement on Sunday evening that it was “prepared to intervene if stability is jeopardized.”

Reportedly placed on high alert, a large KFOR convoy of some 30-40 vehicles was spotted heading towards the frontier between the breakaway region and the rest of Serbia. Kosovo special forces were also spotted moving equipment and personnel, RT reported.

KFOR said it would “take whatever measures are necessary to keep a safe and secure environment in Kosovo at all times, in line with its UN mandate.”

Sure seems like SOMEBODY wants us in a war, either in Europe (Serbia/Ukraine) or Asia (Taiwan) or both.

Why is Kosovo treated differently than the Crimea or the Donbas?

--- "Why is Kosovo treated differently than the Crimea or the Donbas?"

You were not supposed to see that odd double standard.

Stability for some but not for others, Self-determination for some and not for others. And of course we recall the non-aggression by NATO when "we" bombed Serbia for a mere 78 days.

Crimea was invaded and conquered by the the Russians.

Donbass separatism was created by Russian puppets who went into the Donbass and started the war there.

The Kosovars, like the rest of former Yugoslavia, kicked the Serbs out after being brutalized by them.

Ah, but it is. It’s our little NATO statelet. And Camp Bondsteel was built for the ages:

But this little dustup is no biggie. So some ticked-off Serbs fired their rifles into the air.

Wow, you have the official government explanations down pat. For those who really buy that kind of thing, I guess.

Because its populated by followers of mad mo. The ROP neck choppers must be protected at all costs. Christians, not so much.

Kosovo was invaded and conquered by Islamist Terrorists armed, supported and protected by the UN.

Kosovo separatism was created by American UN puppets who went into Serbia and started the war there.

The Kosovar Islamist Terrorists, like the rest of former Yugoslavia, used the UN to kick the Christian Serbs out, after Western Media False Flag, Fake News Propaganda, blaming Serbs.

Per Wiki...

Italian Carabinieri...are the national gendarmerie of Italy who primarily carry out domestic and foreign policing duties. It is one of Italy’s main law enforcement agencies, alongside the Polizia di Stato and the Guardia di Finanza. As with the Guardia di Finanza but in contrast to the Polizia di Stato, the Carabinieri are a military force. As the fourth branch of the Italian Armed Forces, they come under the authority of the Ministry of Defence; for activities related to inland public order and security, they functionally depend on the Ministry of the Interior. In practice, there is a significant overlap between the jurisdiction of the Polizia di Stato and Carabinieri, although both of them are contactable through 112, the European Union’s Single Emergency number.[7] Unlike the Polizia di Stato, the Carabinieri have responsibility for policing the military, and a number of members regularly participate in military missions abroad.

Actually, the gun-running human-traffing narco-mafia KLA/UCK, which was declared a terrorist organization by our State Department and called “the scourge of Europe” by Interpol, had been terrorizing the more peaceful majority of ethnic Albanians who were followers of Rugova as well as ethnic Serbs and other ethnic minorities. Yet somehow we became their air force. Kinda like we became the air force for the terrorists in Libya and left that country a failed state.

We bombed away while the ethnic Albanian men camped out just inside the Albanian border, meanwhile asking “Where are the men?” and suggesting the Serbs had killed 100,000 men when we knew darn well where they were. After the bombing and negotiated withdrawal of Serbian military, these men came pouring back into Kosovo and ethnically cleansed it of Serbs, Roma, Gorani, ethnic Croats, and other minorities — and every last Jew.

Teams sent in to investigate mass graves afterward couldn’t find any and left in disgust. You could read about it in some European newspapers, but ours were silent about that.

So the leaders of Kosovo just happened to show up in Blinken’s office a week or so ago. Is this Serbia/Kosovo dustup a coincidence??

I don’t think so!

How about massive US/NATO PR stunts around the world (Pelosi and now Kosovo) to hide the debacle and the shellacking the west is taking in Ukraine? Just in time as the Ruskies are about to wrap up their successful Donbas campaign to liberate the whole of eastern Ukraine.

One observes that the influx of Islamic males into Europe continues, suggesting the "deep state" types who think they can use and control such as proxies for their purposes has been a long term goal, an elite against entire peoples and lands.

Follow the "Obama" hand and that which predates it, in the color revolutions notion for acquiring wealth and power through proxy wars.

You noticed that! Excellent observation.

And you've been watching for quite a while now, too.
