Operation Allied Force- 22nd anniversary

sarcasm alert, disturbing content alert

The best way to teach democracy is, of course, war. This is how those lessons looked like 22 years ago in Serbia. Main teacher was US and assistants were other countries NATO members.

The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was the military operation against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo war. That is official standpoint of NATO, ofc they could not say we want new spot on the global map to put our forces and control territory. The territory that is known as crossroad and gate towards Europe for people, organs, drugs, weapon smuggling and money laundering.

I will pass the long story about what really was happening on Kosovo decades before open conflict emerged and just mention that military and police forces were there bcs Kosovo was part of Serbia and those forces were there legally. Ethnic cleansing that is also in official version can easily be checked comparing population numbers of different nationalities during decades before the war. Who wants to know more and find objective info about events could DYOR, it is not my intent here to "take sides" just to mention the main motive for this Operation Noble Anvil, which was US code name for the mission.

The mission that officially targeted just military objects.
Turned out that those objects, beside military, were also civil houses and buildings, bridges, hospitals, schools.

In numbers:

78 days, around 80,000 tonnes of various bombs dropped, including cluster munitions and depleted uranium rounds
44 bridges
69 schools
39 medical care buildings
18 kindergartens
14 airports
around 25,000 objects
around 470 km of roads
around 600 km of railways
injured more than 12,000 people
died more than 3,000 people among which 79 children

Ooops, sorry, collateral damage; people are collateral, what else :roleeyes:
Ofc Europe will not take you as refugees, hellooo that is reserved for countries whose leaders were more obedient.

Happened here, happened in many other countries.
Hey look, those guys have oil, let.s give them some lessons about democracy...those guys have coal, prepare for another semester...we need one more destabilized country, let.s warm up some old territory conflicts...

It can happen that citizens of some countries that are being re-educated by supreme moral judges can benefit, like taking down tyrant leader, but is also collateral. Is mass destruction the best way for takeover in era when you can pay and arrange all sort of propaganda and take over (almost) peacefully? If you are a politician who benefits from wars, sure it is the best way.

Hippies tried to fight against wars with flowers but failed; can we make a difference, can we Let the sunshine in?
