Gotta love 2025. Is this an alt-right post or an alt-left post? No one can tell. Horseshoe theory, etc etc.

With all that is happening in the world, someone decides to spend time to make a meme about NATO being a bad guy?

[–] jackeroni@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well yeah, considering they are the bad guy, NATO is nothing but an organization for the furtherance of US empire led expansionism

And what happens if we don't stop it soon? They will attack... Russia or something?

Given that NATO is actively supporting the worst thing going on the world (as usual), yes?

Ah, Yugoslavia. How dare anyone disturb that genocide.

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.
