    It would seem that the Russian Brass was more interested in getting those Russian kids to the airport than they were interested in the welfare of those of those Russian kid Soldiers and that is the major difference between the U.S. Military and the Russian Military as when we send our Soldiers out we make sure they have a MASSIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM available to them and those kids were NOT Russian Spetsnaz.

    American troops were going to enter Kosovo to celebrate they won over Yugoslavia but Russian paratroopers spoiled their victory:

    So, Americans pretended they weren't going to be the first in Kosovo. And let their NATO allies to pass the border.

    But Americans were still angry:

    Of course, Russia in 1999 was unable to recieve any efficient benefits from that diplomatic-military move. But our paratroopers clicked Americans on their nose anyway.

    Looks like some people have good memory about that event and still feel pain. :)

    You keep saying that :) But no one of those countries you have invaded like you after your "help" think about it. At least be honest and say that your country likes wars, plundering, raping and killing and we all will know where we stand.

    I think it is justified to blame you because you are a great rich country and it should be expected more from it.

    Ok. Would you prove that for me?
    I don't think so considering they drove from a NATO base and they also had KFOR markings as well but then again friendly fire isn't uncommon in the US forces.

    No. Clark did issue orders to attack the Russians and was promptly refused by Sir Mike Jackson.
    It was the Russians that proposed sharing the airport
    Clark should never have commanded anything. The man was incompetent.

    Look Clark ordered Jackson to try to get the Russian kids to leave but there was NEVER any order to shoot them!!

    Jackson did the right thing and Clark was an idiot for suggesting that but no shoot to kill order was given!!

    You can look up at least 50 different news articles about how the Russian kids got to the airport and how some had to hitchhike and even the Russian brass admits they screwed up and did not give the kids the intel they needed and they had absolutely NO IDEA where they were going as they had to rely upon the locals for directions!!

    They did not even have GPS which is by the way an AMERICAN SATELLITE NETWORK!!

    And by the way everyone screams for the U.S. to do something about this and that problem happening in the world on a daily basis and for the most part we do as much as we can but when we screw up BOY everyone starts complaining but it would be nice to hear some people say a few nice things as without the United States over 1 BILLION PEOPLE would die of starvation and 800 MILLION would die of disease!!

    That is from the U.N. not me!!

    There you see, you are not there because serbs slaughter some people, you are there because it gains your interests.
    If you think that your meddling in Yugoslav warts was just because of Serbs slaughtering people than I would be fine. But it's far more than that, if it was so Republic of Srpska in Bosnia would not even exist. It's there partly on the blessing from you guys to not have a majority muslim country in the heart of Europe.

    Serbs killed less people than your average 10 days war in "pick what country you want"
    Above is what you called "when we (*)(*)(*)(*) up" but use the same pretext to invade others. LOL

    Yes there was.

    Well there are these things called maps which I'm told are quite useful for finding out how to get to places

    While militias, Iranian volunteers, Hezbollah and PMCs fight in lieu of the Syrian army, Bashar AssadÂ’s soldier busy themselves with collecting bribes at checkpoints.
