24th is probably one of those days where I should probably not be online? Too many terrible takes Anyways, the NATO bombing of Serbia, while not the most elegant solution, was justified and successful, at relatively low cost in lives
I hate seeing conservatives and leftists decry it as some US imperialism But I also hate seeing how gleeful random Westerners are about Serbs being killed or ethnically cleansed. Albanians or Bosniaks probably get to do that, but 15 year old Americans from Montana? Fuck off
@nikicaga I think it’s good actually for the left to embrace a form of principled interventionism not with glee or denial of the human cost of doing so but in opposition to the tankie ethos which has overtaken much of the movement. This is one of the few justifiable actions since WWII
@nikicaga The main problem with it was that encouraged USA to invade Iraq four years later. But I agree, it was good in itself.
@nikicaga One of the most honest Serbs on here, You’re a good & rational man Nik
@nikicaga Idk how u feel about this but that intervention is one of the moments of American foreign policy I am particularly proud of. Really feel we did well there. (Tbf my view is very influenced by Samantha Power’s narrative about it from her FP perspective)
@nikicaga TIL my birthday was the Yugoslav bombing day.
