Ah, Yugoslavia. How dare anyone disturb that genocide.

There was intense conflict along ethnic lines on both sides. NATO didn't intervene to "stop a genocide," it bombed hundreds of state-owned factories and murdered over 2000 civilians (including 300 Albanians, which NATO claimed to be "protecting"). The real drive was to destroy a nation that dared to be a part of the Non-Aligned Movement, and make them subservient to western interests, opened up for foreign plundering.

The ethnic violence was horrible, but NATO didn't really fix it, it took advantage of it as a reason to get involved and achieve the aims of western powers economically.

Why doesn't NATO disturb the current genocide in Gaza?

Of all the things, you decided to defend that scumbag. He and his cronies were one of the primary agitators that caused the war. Even if he himself didn't order a genocide, he actively militarily supported the Bosnian Serbs that caused one. And say what you want but the bombing did stop the active ethnic cleansing happening in Kosovo.

Gotta love 2025. Is this an alt-right post or an alt-left post? No one can tell. Horseshoe theory, etc etc.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The right is pro-NATO, as NATO is the main millitant arm propping up western imperialism, and the left is anti-NATO for the same reasons. There's no "alt-left," lol.

Anyone against NATO is against Western imperialism and would be considered a "leftist" by Western standards (just humane and ethical for the rest of the world). I don't see what can be misunderstood here.

Plenty of far-right people would be leftist then. Interesting

You're just saying words now, lol.

That list of nations is very short.

[–] rdri@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

With all that is happening in the world, someone decides to spend time to make a meme about NATO being a bad guy?

Never ask an EU supporter about why their own country doesn't get to decide things for its self
