The Serbs are nuts. They’ll back down in the face of NATO firepower — don’t forget that NATO kicked their asses in 1999.

Correction: We are NUTS!

That was Bill Clinton trying to get Monica off the front pages. Just my two cents.

BTW, NATO is useless? There is no more Warsaw Pac. It’s a joke.

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!

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!

Not if Russian troops are moved into Serbia along the Kosovo border. Kind of changes the equation, doesn’t it?
