Ah, Yugoslavia. How dare anyone disturb that genocide.
NATO didn’t stop a genocide; it aided one. And Milošević has posthumously been found not to have committed genocide.
Of all the things, you decided to defend that scumbag. He and his cronies were one of the primary agitators that caused the war. Even if he himself didn't order a genocide, he actively militarily supported the Bosnian Serbs that caused one. And say what you want but the bombing did stop the active ethnic cleansing happening in Kosovo.
Fix your link
AFAICT, there’s nothing wrong with them.
Neither one of the two links seem to support your two claims. I gave you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you pasted the wrong link(s). shrug.
There was intense conflict along ethnic lines on both sides. NATO didn't intervene to "stop a genocide," it bombed hundreds of state-owned factories and murdered over 2000 civilians (including 300 Albanians, which NATO claimed to be "protecting"). The real drive was to destroy a nation that dared to be a part of the Non-Aligned Movement, and make them subservient to western interests, opened up for foreign plundering.
The ethnic violence was horrible, but NATO didn't really fix it, it took advantage of it as a reason to get involved and achieve the aims of western powers economically.
Why doesn't NATO disturb the current genocide in Gaza?
So your issue isn't them stopping a genocide but not stopping more genocides?
He is pointing out the obvious contradiction on NATOs justification on their war crimes.
If they were worried about s genocide in yugoslavia and forced to intervene, why aren't they doing the same with israel? Have you asked yourself this question?
Yeah, who do they think they are? NATO?
