Radovan Karadžić was an enemy of NATO who was working for
a Serbian government that wanted to realign Serbia with Russia and compromise the integrity of the future southern flank of the European Union.
Because of that, NATO utilised fake jihadists, drug runners, and literally activated
Operation Valuable Fiend and also
Operation Bloodstone (Bloodstone even included people who had previously worked for the SS and sent Serbs to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp without apology, that's how flagrantly gangster this whole arrangement was), which was a
old Axis hand vengeance operation against the Serbs, because of the fact that all the same names and their children re-appeared on the scene.
That whole cynical clusterfuck was absolutely glorious and the west should not be ashamed of playing 'dirty' sometimes.
The fact that social democrats were tricked into supporting literal Nazis and drug traffickers dressed in vaguely Islamic garb for geostrategic objectives and energy resource access, is
an object lesson in how to get things done
without having your own population deploring it. Lessons should be learned from it.
What happened in former Yugoslavia was an absolute victory against Serbs
(and against Russians by proxy), and so you shouldn't rain on Heinie's parade. It's one of the few times when social democrats actually supported a decent NATO operation against Russia. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, just give it a hi-five.
NATO is the #1 ultimate gangster, and there's no shame in that.
May the 'bigot' Karadžić rot in jail. But we should also be realistic about how he got to the jail, and not go around drawing a false 'humanitarian' conclusion about any of this. It was never actually about humanitarianism. It was always about beating the Serbs by any means necessary, and denying Russia any access to the Balkans.
