February 22, 2008, 23:17 Tensions rise as Serbs push into Kosovo http://www.russiatoday.ru/news/news/21256
Kosovo border police have reported Serb tanks are taking positions near the Kosovo-Serb border. On Friday, police in Kosovo's northern city of Mitrovica have been holding off thousands of Serb protesters who were trying to cross the bridge dividing the Serb and ethnic Albanian sides of the city.
Hundreds of ethnic Serbs have arrived in the province to show their support for the Serbian minority living there. Kosovo authorities have already introduced restrictions preventing Serbs from entering the region.
Police have been given the green light to use tough measures to keep any rioting under control but apart from isolated incidents, the rally passed off peacefully.
Authorities feared a repeat of the overnight violence that gripped the Serbian capital Belgrade, killing one and injuring around 130. The violence has also resulted in damage to a number of Western embassies.
In Belgrade President Boris Tadic has called on the Council for National Security to discuss the situation in the country.
He said there was no excuse for violence and nothing could justify Thursday's unrest.
Meanwhile, Russia's envoy to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, says alliance officials in Kosovo should not overstep the bounds of their mandate.
“Some high-ranking NATO officials are giving orders that are obviously inconsistent with their authority, such as an order to block the border in northern Kosovo, where mostly ethnic Serbs live. This means that Kosovo Serbs are cut off from Serbia itself. If the Albanians decide to break away, that doesn't mean they can seize someone else's property and citizens.
The thing is that the Serbs in Kosovo, who were previously citizens of their country, suddenly do not know who they are - Kosovars or inhabitants of an independent territory. Besides, we're disturbed by reports, although it needs checking, that some NATO military chiefs are considering whether to stop representatives of the Serbian administration entering Kosovo. This is not in their mandate. For us, the main thing is that NATO shouldn't intervene in politics, but stick to a neutral position on Kosovo, as it always did,” Rogozin said.
“These state department people can’t REALLY be this stupid, can they? CAN THEY??”
No they can be not that stupid and ARE not that stupid !!
So then what’s the next possible answer - the actions are INTENSIONAL. As in PLANNED and purposeful.
Recall that the StateDept is full of traitors from the 1930’s to today but that is only a smoke screen for where the real hotbead of traitors are. Go figure ??!!
NWO anyone ??
“Actually, they’ll fight a hell of a lot harder because they won’t tie themselves into knots making all kind of rules to weaken their military power. They’re ruthless so we better be ready for it”
I have a far better idea. Try doing the right thing and drop the NATO/NWO agenda alliance and JOIN the Serbs.
Turn our tanks on the NazisNextGeneration/FourthReich.
Much more elegant and trully Christian.
“One of the posters on earlier post said that he had served in our forces Iraq & Afghanistan, but that he would burn his uniform rather than fight Serbs in this.”
I can tell you that I am planning on volunteering for a deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan, myself. I’d rather die there, than live knowing that I betrayed both Christianity and International Law.
If they force me to go, then I will. Hopefully a sniper takes me early so that I won’t be forced to do something that I’ll regret in the afterlife. :-(
Exactly so...and we dare NOT attack Russian soldiers...we may be the worlds most powerful conventional force but things like these Topol mobile launchers must be kept in mind. What is Bush thinking? why didn't he get our troops out of there? why does he have us on the WRONG side? ... PLEASE don't poke at the Russian Bear with a stick
“They’ll back down in the face of NATO firepower — don’t forget that NATO kicked their asses in 1999.”
You obviously haven’t read the “Rambouillet” agreement NATO (Maddie NotsoBright) tried to force the Serbs to sign to end the war in Kosovo. Nor have you read the UN’s resolution 1244 that was signed with the assistance of Russia and which led to the end of the war. Had you read these two documents than you would understand that it was in fact not the Serbs that got their asses kicked by NATO but NATO itself (indirectly). It was NATO that backed down and gave in to the Serbs!
From what I’ve found,the UN/NATO/etc. number 16,000 or so,,,
I can’t find any US forces in that mix(Kosovo)still lookin’.
The Serb tanks,M-84/M-2001,are all new,,,NO junk,,,200+,,,
“IF” the Russians get in this it will be very bloody,,,
I just hope our guys can stay out of this,,,
FWIW : My house-mate’s son is in the 2nd.BCT.10th.Mt.Div.
Airborne,,,
Prayers Up For The Troops...
You obviously know nothing of "the Battle of Kosovo", or the fact that during WWII the Serbs told Nazi Germany to go pound salt and got almost as many bombs dropped on them as Dresden but didn't back down. And you have forgotten that these are the same Serbs who were bombed for 78 straight days including Easter in 1999, and their answer was to wear tee shirts with bull's eyes on them.
A little hint --never play "chicken" with a Serb!
IMHO : Arbusto knew what would happen,,,
More NWO krap,,,
He will NOT close our southern border,,,
He wants “Everybody” to have their own home-land,,,
“Everybody” but Americans !!!
From Julia Gorin http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=1430
A former KFOR soldier emailed me last night:
“Wow. Sitting at my desk today when my fmr. task force commander called me about the Belgrade Embassy.
What do people expect?
Mitrovica will probably be partitioned soon, right along religious, oh, I mean ethnic, fault lines. Expect violence.
…
Has TMK (KPC) [Kosovo Protection Corps] taken up arms yet?
Watching O’Reilly tonight, he commented on how the US is working for freedom in the region…
I am actually sickened at this whole turn of events. I spent a year of my life there, tracking Saudi funded Wahabbi scum, seeing Serbs murdered, and for what? Cognitive dissonance as to how I, as a US Soldier, can possibly see this as a fight for freedom.”
Once again, foreigners doing the work Americans won’t.
People don't really understand about Kosovo and the Serbs.
It is the Serbian "ancestral homeland", not just a piece of ground.
Serbians have been fighting to defend that piece of land for 1200 years, and taking on all comers.
Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but they never give up..
Rest assured, this is not over.
I know that it is not over.

“The Serbs are nuts. They’ll back down in the face of NATO firepower — don’t forget that NATO kicked their asses in 1999.”
Not if Russian troops are moved into Serbia along the Kosovo border. Kind of changes the equation, doesn’t it?
If NATO and th U.N. do get involved, all they have to do is use one of those “electricity knockout bombs” to defeat the Serbs.
States that explicitly do not recognise Kosovo: 18
States concerned want more negotiations: 9
States with ambiguous positions: 29
This is going to get really ugly, really quickly. Thanks Clinton and Bush, for all you’ve done to screw-up Europe, by letting-in the murderous muzzies.
“Back under that rock where he belongs — where he should stay.”
Big time amen to that!
“If NATO and th U.N. do get involved, “
