Tony Blair’s Secret Yugoslavia Invasion Plot
Tony Blair’s Secret Yugoslavia Invasion Plot
Declassified British Ministry of Defence files reveal that officials in London conspired to embroil US troops in a secret plan to occupy Yugoslavia and “topple” President Slobodan Milosevic, during NATO’s 1999 war on the country. Though the crazed scheme was never implemented, details of the plot reveal precisely how British officials successfully shaped Washington into a blunt force instrument of their vanquished empire in years to come.
March 24th marked the 25th anniversary of Operation Allied Force, NATO’s 78-day-long bombing campaign against Yugoslavia. Still venerated in Western mainstream as a successful “humanitarian intervention” conducted to prevent an impending “genocide” of Kosovo’s Albanian population, the war was in fact a wantonly destructive, illegal assault on a sovereign, multiethnic country, based on lies and atrocity propaganda. Belgrade had in fact been engaged in a counterinsurgency battle against the CIA and MI6-backed Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), an Al Qaeda-linked extremist group.
The KLA - funded by the narcotics trade and organ harvesting - explicitly sought to maximize civilian casualties, in order to precipitate Western intervention. In May 2000, a British parliamentary committee concluded all purported abuses of Albanian citizens by Yugoslav authorities occurred after NATO’s bombing began, finding that the alliance’s intervention had actually encouraged Belgrade to aggressively neutralize the KLA. Meanwhile, in September 2001, a UN court in Pristina determined that Belgrade’s actions in Kosovo were not genocidal in nature, or intent.
These findings are largely overlooked today. A February Politico investigation into the West’s post-war pillage of Kosovo axiomatically asserted that NATO intervened in Yugoslavia “to halt an unfolding genocide against the ethnic-Albanian population.” Similarly forgotten is just how close leading NATO states came to invading Belgrade during that chaotic spring. You can find out all about that, and more, in my video presentation below:
You know, having lived through all of that, being just a kid during the bombing and then listening all these years that what I and my family experienced are both our dilusions and our fault, was very difficult. But most difficult and mentally damaging part of the story is that you feel that you are screaming under the water and that no one hears nor understands you. I really don't have any issue in admitting that Serbs did bad stuff and that our country is not made out of saints, but its exceptionally difficuly to accept something that you know its absollute BS. Like, for the sake or argument, lets assume that Serbia really tried to commit "ethnic cleansing" or "genocide" in Kosovo but NATO intervened on humanitarian grounds. How come that they then allowed 250.000 Serbs to be ethnicallty cleansed from Kosovo after they "liberated" the terittory, or we dont count as humans. Kosovo is finally ethically clean territory (except from few remaining and ever shrinking Serb ghettos), and no one gives a damn. Thanks for revisiting the story. It means a lot, because truth is important. The toxic pattern of imerialist misadventures continues globally and it wont stop until its mechanisms are completely debunked.
