@fkamiah17 oh - there’s a direct Putin link to the Balkan’s. I was posted to Belgrade just after we’d bombed it on totally spurious grounds - remember Jamie O’Shea telling outright lies on BBC news night after night as #NATO spokesman? The Russians had a proper wtf moment there and did not forget it. We ignored them and their long history with Serbia to pursue our dishonest bombing campaign. Noam Chomsky’s The New Military Humanism sets it out clearly. That was the moment.
