so true yet so sad

if the public were told why the serb army went in and how we are taking land away from a country to set up a muslim country then every American would be outraged I would hope

Unfortunately, not every American. I believe most would be outraged if they knew and understood but we stopped teaching history in many of our schools. I recall the 90’s when most were outraged by the so called serbian ethnic cleansing of those poor non christian/muslim people, and how far too many were against the Serbs. I was having my house painted at the time and sorta socialized with the painters over coffee (discussing stuff) and will never forget what one supposedly uneducated painter said - he asked me why we were on the side of the anti-Christian faction/pro muslim. Many here didn’t understand that *humanitarian action* and it was played up in the media as the Serbs were these horrific people, killing these poor peaceful people. And if one doesn’t know the history of the region then they won’t understand anything about that region and far too many rely on the fake stuff the MSM tells them.

My late dad, WWII vet, undeducated so to speak (or not formally educated), was appalled that we were siding with the non-christians back in the 90s and thought that would come back to bite us. And now we’re doing it again.
