Looks like Serbia wanting a fight and another war looming on Europes doorstep

I can’t see Putin being able to spare much to back up the Serbs just now.

It’s not the sharpest of moves by Serbia. If they don’t invade, they look like they’ve capitulated. If they try their luck, they’ll get a swift paddling by NATO troops that have been poised for getting noisy for fair few months.

It's not really Europe's doorstep, it's well inside europe

It's not really Europe's doorstep, it's well inside europe

Europe's doorstep can be well inside Europe. For example I know my doorstep isn't on my neighbour's property, and if Romania is Europe's garden and Croatia its hallway, then the Serbia-Kosovo border can easily be the doorstep.

Where's the wheely bin?

If is carrying more weight than it can relied upon to bear. Everyone knows the garden of Europe is in Holland Keukenhof - Wikipedia

But putting that to one side, it'll be interesting to see how this Kosovan crisis goes as I am not sure that the unanimity of the late 90s will be found among nato countries now.

Italy. Recycling goes in Sicily.

Grr

Not again

The Kosovan government have at least partly provoked the current situation and everyone is fed up with them. I doubt Serbia will attack but they are going to try and force Kosovo's hand by showing it it doesnt have full support any more.

Is that on wednesday or thursday? Can never remember.

Let’s hope NATO doesn’t escalate things.

In line with current geopolitical realities, it depends what day of the week it is.

Let's hope it happens. It'll be another thing for people to get outraged about, and they love that. Empty outrage is what societies run on now.

No point in getting upset about it, though.

Yes, another war, more pointless slaughter. Let's hope it happens, so we can mock the virtue signallers all together. Heartwarming.

i think you'll find that kfor operates under the mandate given by security council resolution 1244, so it's a mess. having had a quick look at 1244 i'm not sure how wide the ability for nato to order defence of kosovo is - perhaps kebabking will be informed on the topic

I was tempted to say that, but just another Ignore will do...

Paragraph 9, sections (A) and (C) look to be fairly specific. There's a wider one in the preamble about establishing/securing/ensuring Kosovo's 'substantial autonomy' and 'meaningful self-administration', but 9 (A) & (C) look pretty solid.

Last time I looked, objecting to people being killed and maimed and families separated was only ‘empty outrage’ to psychopaths and stupid fuckwits with the analysis of a whelk and empathy of a table mat…

As far as I've been able to see, very few regulars on here have objected to people being in killed in war for quite a while.

That's because you live in your own little bubble, and are blind to anything else.

So none of these comments have anything substantial to say about the topic. Just a beef.

I made one quip about the faux outrage so predominant in society today, and the usual crew respond with...

They, too, it seems, have little to say on the topic. Nobody's stopping anybody discussing it.

Then let it happen, because this stuff gets in the way. I'll stop now.

Thats probably because you are banned from the main thread for your constant crayoning.

If other people seem empty to you that's probably because you've descended to such a nadir of cynicism that you can't conceive of anything else but emptiness.
