I find it hilarious that Russia is helping to defend S Ossetia, yet didn’t lift a finger to help Serbia. Serbians are just cannon fodder proxies for the Russians and don’t even realize it.
If you do simple history checks on these “pro Russian” propaganda speeches on FR, totally touting the Pravda/Putin Party line....7 of 10 are Serbs.
Check it out Freepers.
Message to Milosvikniks and Putinistas: Putin is the one who pulled out the Russian troops Yeltsin sent to Kosovo and he refuses to send them back. Kosovo is not worth a drop of Russian blood. Putin supports the Serbs less even than the man who appointed him as his chosen successor.
I find it hilarious that you apparently can't read a map!
Russia was in no position to aid Yugoslavia militarily. What they did was broker an end to NATO's war against Yugoslavia which retained Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo. (See UN resolution 1244.)
The failure of the West to live up to that agreement infuriated the Russian, they are now simply playing by the new rules!
