> Sure NATO did bomb Serbia and a lot of civilians were killed but how does that justify killing an order of magnitude more civilians in Ukraine (and counting)? Because it justifies the Kremlin's elaborate conspiracy theory that says the US fomented a coup on their border in order to put hostile neo-nazi russophobes into power in order to divide and conquer. Intervention in Serbia, seen as within their sphere of influence, is used as one piece of evidence in support of this conspiracy theory. Basically, they intervened in our perceived affairs before, therefore < conspiracy theory > is true.
