Imperialism spreading Bourgeoise Democracy
🗓 On March 24, 1999, the North Atlantic bloc started bombing Yugoslavia. The "military operation" against a sovereign state became a tragic milestone in the life of the Serbian people and delivered a devastating blow to international law.
The US & its cronies bombed the cities, including Belgrade, villages & civilian infrastructure for 78 days, blowing up bridges, passenger trains and buses and killing women, children & elderly people. In doing so, the West destroyed the post-WWII foundations of European security and started replacing the legitimate mechanisms that regulated international relations with a “rules-based order”.
▪️ 3'000 cruise missiles were fired at a sovereign European republic & 80'000 tonnes of bombs were dropped on its people.
The use of depleted uranium ammunition contaminated vast areas & caused an unprecedented rise in cancer-related diseases that continues to affect people to this day.
Serbian authorities estimate that approximately 2'500 people, including 89 children, were killed during the barbaric bombardment. Over 12'500 people were injured, and 1'500 settlements were destroyed. According to some sources, the material damage was estimated at between $30 billion and $100 billion.
Using the mocking label of “humanitarian intervention,” NATO targeted primarily civilian sites: residential areas, hospitals, schools, bridges, passenger transport and refugee convoys.
❗️ The US and NATO "military operation" against Belgrade was launched without approval from the UN Security Council, based on unfounded accusations against the authorities of Yugoslavia of conducting "ethnic cleansing" in Kosovo, allegedly triggering a humanitarian disaster in the region.
More than 200'000 non-Albanian residents of Kosovo, forced to flee their homes, have yet to return.
Under the cover of NATO's aggression, members of the so-called "Kosovo Liberation Army" committed heinous crimes, including the abduction and murder of Serbs for the illegal trade of human organs.
❗️ None of the NATO representatives has been called to account. The victims of the aggression were written off as “collateral damage,” meaning losses that "accompany" the fulfillment of the geopolitical ambitions of the US, the UK, and their satellites.
The issue of the NATO allies’ responsibility for the damage they have done to international relations and Yugoslavia remains unresolved.
