The US & NATO bombed Serbia to stop the genocide in Kosova. If you threaten Kosovaโs sovereignty, Croatia & Bosnia are next in line. Donโt forget the bloody horrors of the Yugoslav wars. Genocide is genocide. #NeverAgain
This is a hateful & harmful statement that sympathizes with Serbian genocidists, war criminals and rapists. Albanians are indigenous to Kosova & paid for their independence with decades of horrors & atrocitiesโฆ 1 million displaced, 13,950 killed, 20,000 raped, and 1,600 missing!
