But he used to drive a truck...
Wrong then wrong now.
they bombed yugoslavia, and allowed the “albanians” (MUSLIMS) to get away with their b.s. they protected the very ideology and adherents, that would strike two years later thanx to the clinton wall that was built and compartmentalized vital info about the impending 911 attacks, all to protect clinton
To this day, the Serbians remember. NATO was the “invader” in a civil war, with the Democrats cheering them on.
This war is an interesting contrast to the messes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.
In Kosovo we achieved our strategic goals in 78 days with only 4 American casualties.
In part that success was not listening to people like Biden and McCain. We had clear, limited objectives and a concrete plan for achieving them.
Replace Yugoslavia with Russia/Ukraine, and this is basically the consensus opinion on our current endeavors in Eastern Europe, or at least what gets posted here.
“In Kosovo we achieved our strategic goals in 78 days with only 4 American casualties.”
The part that I didn’t like was bombing the crap out of civilians there because we couldn’t safely fly low enough to hit military targets with any effectiveness.
But I guess since Europe and NATO supported the above and control the courts that determine war crimes, it would never be considered war crimes. Kind of nice to be running those institutions, though!
Wasn’t now Zombie Madeleine Albright one of the leaders of the push to bomb Serbia? Some problem she had with Serbs or something?

True, but hasn’t one of the main criticisms for every war since Vietnam been that our rules of engagement are too limited to achieve victory?
We need to realize that if we are going to use the military to enforce our aims that people are going to die. Including innocents. Pretending otherwise is a fiction that leads to long drawn out wars that are more costly.
Our NATO “allies” in Italy used to alert the Serbs when our planes took off; they knew the war was a farce, and they’d have to live with the outcome while we were safe an ocean away.
And innocent civilians are still going to die in wars regardless of the care taken to minimize it.
He really hates Slavic people. Wonder if he secretly donates to white nationalist groups?

Videos of Russian precision bombing in Ukraine are amazing.
Arm-chair generals seem to be everywhere. I am willing to say that I don't know the eventual outcome of the various conflicts raging, but pray for liberty to rise everywhere. Else we shall not be safe "an ocean away." Nor will we be generals..... Regards.
One of those instances where "we" means "thee" and definitely not "me".
Biden has always been a nightmare
We are definitely no longer safe, but the threat is not from Serbia; it is from our own oligarchs.

Donald Bellissario made this point in six or seven episodes of JAG. In 1999 his show runner even had a character predict a terrorist attack on US by bin Laden.
