Out of curiosity, are you referring to this "action" in the Balkans, where the UN soldiers basically stood up watching and doing absolutely nothing while 8k civilians where executed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre
- laurent_du 1y agoNothing in the message you are answering suggests this is what they are talking about.
- I-M-S 1y agoThat is precisely the point. OP cites "UN action in the Balkans" to soothe his wife, whereas UN's inaction led to the first legally recognized genocide in Europe since the end of World War II.
- wafflemaker 1y agoNope, while I'm aware of Srebrenica (still have a history podcast on that in my backlog) I meant other actions like arms bans, two air campaign (Deliberate Force and Allied Force) that have prevented even more atrocities. I've read up a little more about it now, didn't know it was that complex. (Pretty much 3 or more wars in the 10y period). Since I read up on it now, I noticed some connections to planned un-living of the current second holocaust in The Strip. Just like in Gaza, there were ~140k ppl killed and millions displaced.
