When the Going gets Tough, the Dems Go To War
Swiss Policy Research: "Propaganda in the War on Yugoslavia" ^ | December 2019 (upd.) | uncredited

...The “Genocide of Srebrenica” in July 1995 is regarded as the sad climax of the Bosnian war. According to Western accounts originally based on a report by the US government, more than 8000 Bosnian civilians may have been killed.

But according to Phillip Corwin, the highest-ranking UN civilian official in Bosnia during the war, the actual evidence points to a more complex situation ...Corwin called the official Western account of events in Srebrenica a “distortion”.

The late political scientist Edward S. Herman and the former CIA officer Robert Baer, who was operating in Yugoslavia during the war, even spoke of a “fraud” in this regard...

Now that Brandon's gone all 'no more mister nice guy' on us. He's grabbed the bull by the horns and the dog by the scruff and he's wagging like there's no tomorrow.

No worries for us though, people will die, but nobody we need worry about: just some poor schmucks in some remote corner of somewhere.

Here's a look back at BJ's adventure--just as a reminder of what's ahead.

I have been thinking that Clinton and the Balkans is a good analogy and precedent for the situation facing Biden. Part wag-the-dog and part no-more-Mr-nice-guy. But the fact remains: Russia today is not the Serbs. If this is Biden’s model, it will not end well.

There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

Biden and Obama are too sissy. No war, except perhaps some small middle eastern country. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran will be left alone. Plus Hunter gets $$$ from them all.

Pushing For War: Why Is The Biden Administration Pushing Ukraine To Attack Russia
April 6, 2021

Why is it any of our business whether Crimea is part of Ukraine or part of Russia? Why is it any of our business if the Russian-speaking population of eastern Ukraine prefer…
by Ron Paul of Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
On March 24th, Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky signed what was essentially a declaration of war on Russia. In the document, titled Presidential Decree No. 117/2021, the US-backed Ukrainian leader declared that it is the official policy of Ukraine to take back Crimea from Russia.
The declaration that Ukraine would take back Crimea from Russia also followed, and was perhaps instigated by, President Biden’s inflammatory and foolish statement that “Crimea is Ukraine.”

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was a chief architect of the US-backed coup against Ukraine in 2014, continued egging on the Ukrainians, promising full US support for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine. Many Americans wonder why they are not even half as concerned about the territorial integrity of the United States!
Not to be outdone, at the beginning of this month US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin – who previously served on the board of missile-maker Raytheon – called his counterpart in Ukraine and promised “unwavering US support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.” As the US considers Crimea to be Ukrainian territory, this is clearly a clear green light for Kiev to take military action.
Washington is also sending in weapons. Some 300 tons of new weapons have arrived in the past weeks and more is on the way.
As could be expected, Moscow has responded to Zelensky’s decree and to the increasingly bellicose rhetoric in Kiev and Washington by re-positioning troops and other military assets closer to its border with Ukraine. Does anyone doubt that if the US were in the same situation – for example, if China installed a hostile and aggressive government in Mexico – the Pentagon might move troops in a similar manner?
But according to the media branch of the US military-industrial-Congressional-media complex, Russian troop movements are not a response to clear threats from a neighbor, but instead are just more “Russian aggression.

Dems don’t actually “go to war” they file lawsuits, protest, boycott and then send in the muscle to loot and riot.

And the U.S. today isn’t like it was either. Even on a street level.

...The “Genocide of Srebrenica

It is the Islamic way. When people fight back after the countless atrocities committed by Mad Moe's Mafia in pursuit of it's endless war of total domination , it is the people defending themselves who are the bad guys!

To quote our illustrious pResident when he was speaking on Afghanistan, 'What is the vital national interest?'

Here are some other remarks made at the same time:

'It’s about ending an era of major military operations to remake other countries' 

'...the way to do that is not through endless military deployments, but through diplomacy, economic tools, and rallying the rest of the world for support.'

'If you’re 20 years old today, you have never known an America at peace.'

'I don’t think enough people understand how much we have asked of the 1 percent of this country who put that uniform on, who are willing to put their lives on the line in defense of our nation.'

  'Most tragically, we see it in the shocking and stunning statistic that should give pause to anyone who thinks war can ever be low-grade, low-risk, or low-cost: 18 veterans, on average, who die by suicide every single day in America — not in a far-off place, but right here in America.  There’s nothing low-grade or low-risk or low-cost about any war.'-

Dear God!

Was this the intention all along?

This seems to put a new light on everything all the way back to Nov '20. I'm getting ahead of myself--but Im in your debt.

Why did Serb-controlled Yugoslavian federal army destroy Vukovar? When did war in Bosnia start?
Who was USA president at that time (1991, 1992)? Bush Sr. or Clinton?
When Clinton started his term, ethnic cleansing of non-Serbs was well under way in Bosnia
Some people still remember dates and atrocities committed in the attempt to create Great Serbia.

This write-up proves that NON-interventionists can use propaganda too.

The legitimacy of that ONE photo is irrelevant. Killings and starvation DID occur in that camp. Many people who were forced through it told horror stories later. It wasn’t Auschwitz, but it was still brutal.

furthermore, the British “magazine” mentioned in it was called... Living Marxism.

Should tell you all you need to know about who is dishonest.

My late grandfather, who was a lifelong Republican born in 1885, said every time a democrat messes up the economy, they start a war to “save” the country. They’re still at it.
