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. permalink fedilink source parent [+] jbloggs777@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] davel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago AFAICT, there’s nothing wrong with them. https://lemmy.ml/comment/19469789 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87#Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87's_death permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies) [–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 1 point 1 year ago Bombs were falling on civilian targets nowhere near Kosovo. Various bridges, schools, hospitals, a chemical plant in Pančevo that almost destroyed the entire city, the Chinese embassy, a bomb fragment fell literally in my family's garden. Hundreds of civilians died, my grandma almost impaled on a table from a bomb shockwave and the glass shattered onto the cradle I was in (I was 1 year old at the time), but luckily my mom placed protection around me just in case. This was on the far north of Serbia. To be clear, OP is a tankie who shouldn't be given any attention or a platform (I checkes their post history), but the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 was a campaign that caused untold suffering to countless civilians (be it in injuries, deaths, or just going through every day not knowing whether you and your loved ones will be alive tomorrow) that had absolutely nothing to do with Kosovo, something that left scars in society that are still felt. It was not simply "disturbing a genocide". Not to mention that it was an attack launched without the approval of the UN. permalink fedilink source parent
