See my other reply. In any case, that you can refer to these as ‘aggressive imperialist power plays’ shows you’re both not to be taken seriously and are not willing to engage in a good faith and informed discussion.
- pydry 2y agoYes... in your other reply you said it was a humanitarian intervention to stop a genocide in Kosovo. Exactly like a Putin supporter would say about Ukraine. Except there was no genocide in Kosovo (Kosovo is not Bosnia) and there is no genocide in Ukraine. There is one in Gaza though and it is backed by NATO, the same people you called humanitarians. A Putin supporter also wouldnt be bothered about the murderous hypocrisy, but Chomsky was. Thats what set him apart.
- _djo_ 2y agoThe Serbian campaign was ethnic cleansing on a massive scale, forcefully and methodically expelling over a million Kosovar Albanians from the area by the time they were stopped by NATO’s intervention. That does, arguably, rise to the level of genocide under the standard definitions. Just because someone can claim something doesn’t mean it’s right. That determination is up to independent observers, experts, and courts, and tribunals. Russia tried to claim at the ICJ that it was invading Ukraine under the Genocide Convention. The court ruled that it had to end to the invasion immediately, which Russia ignored.
