World War III: Who Started It?

Mike Rivero's observation's about his linked piece are about the same as mine on the Globe's coverage.

Take a look, readers
:

"Serb official blames U.S. for violence"

"Notice how Putin and Russia are cast in the role of the "heavies" and bad guys in this article.

What the US, the EU, and NATO have done here is to declare that any part of any country can, unilaterally and pre-emptively, declare its independence (if we say so), even though it may have been part of another country for centuries
.

This would be like Texas, or, let's say, New Hampshire, declaring their independence from the US
.

Would the government of the US say, "Gee, that's great: goodbye?"

Or would every available military person be sent immediately to to the capitals of those states to bring them back into the fold of the Republic?

You know exactly what the answer here would be
.

And from this precedent, Palestine may be ready to unilaterally declare their independence from Israel
.

And at this point, after the US having supported the independence of Kosovo from Serbia, it's going to be rather hard to explain why Kosovo's independence is good, but Palestine declaring independence from Israel is wrong, bad, and impossible
.

The question is, how far Serbia and Russia are prepared to go to bring Kosovo back to Serbia
." -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened

And here comes the New York Times, right on cue
:

"Putin’s Iron Grip on Russia Suffocates His Opponents"

"Serbia Seeks Rioters Who Set Fire to the U.S. Embassy"

This is what the Globe gave me.

Notice the Serb "nationalist" in the picture.

Nationalism is only good when it is AMERIKAN or ISRAELI NATIONALISM -- and not even then with the Globalist Masters.


"US faulted for Kosovo, Belgrade riots"

"by Dusan Stojanovic, Associated Press | February 24, 2008

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Kosovo - Serbia's hard-line leaders yesterday called the United States "the main culprit" in the violence that has broken out since Kosovo declared independence.

Several thousand Serbs chanting "Kosovo is Serbia!" and "Russia, Vladimir Putin!" protested peacefully in the ethnically divided town of Kosovska Mitrovica, the sixth day of demonstrations against Kosovo's break with Serbia. Russia backs Serbia's fierce resistance to Kosovo's secession.

On Thursday night, protesters in the Serbian capital Belgrade set fire to the US Embassy, angered by Washington's recognition of Kosovo. The United States and the European Union responded by demanding Serbia protect foreign embassies.

"The United States is the main culprit . . . for all those violent acts," Slobodan Samardzic, Serbia's minister for Kosovo, said in Belgrade.

Other Serbian leaders have called for calm after the riots. But an aide to hard-line Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said any future violence also will be blamed on the United States.

"If the United States sticks to its present position that the fake state of Kosovo exists . . . all responsibility in the future will be on the United States," Kostunica adviser Branislav Ristivojevic said.

The comments were an indication that Serbia is drifting further from the West and more toward ally Russia.

The vast majority of Kosovo's population is ethnic Albanian and Serbs represent about 10 percent of the region's 2 million people. Kosovo's minority Serbs have staged protests daily since the territory's ethnic Albanian leadership proclaimed independence last Sunday. They have vented their anger by destroying UN and NATO property as well.

In Belgrade, the chief Serbian state prosecutor said yesterday that authorities were searching for participants in Thursday night's riots when the US embassy was attacked. Police said have they arrested nearly 200 rioters in the worst anti-Western violence seen since the ouster of former strongman Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.

In the divided town of Kosovska Mitrovica in Serb-dominated northern Kosovo, a few protesters hurled firecrackers as UN police in riot gear formed a cordon across the main bridge separating the Serb and ethnic Albanian sides. Demonstrators waved Serbian and Russian flags and chanted in support of Moscow's refusal to recognize Kosovo's independence.

The protest was far less violent than one on Friday, when angry demonstrators hurled stones, glass bottles and firecrackers at UN forces protecting the bridge.

In the Serb enclave of Strpce in southern Kosovo, about 100 Serbs also marched peacefully yesterday. They carried Serbian flags to a nearby church, where they rang the bells to sound their disapproval of Kosovo's statehood. Some carried posters reading "Kosovo is Serbia" and "Kosovo will never be Albania."

"The whole nation is angry," said Sinisa Tasic, one of the organizers. "We are furious with the Americans. Wherever they go they create problems."

There, too, solidarity with Moscow was on display. "For the first time ever, Serbia is not alone - it has Russia by its side. Sooner or later, Serbia will get Kosovo back," added Radojko Kecic, 48.

Dmitry Medvedev, Putin's chosen successor and the man expected to easily win Russia's presidential election March 2, is scheduled to visit Belgrade tomorrow. The State Department has ordered 80 to 100 nonessential embassy employees, their families, and the families of American diplomats in Belgrade to leave Serbia.

The United States and the EU have warned Serbia to boost protection of foreign diplomats and missions. There have been scattered protests against Kosovo's independence in other countries. In Athens, about 2,000 pro-Communist demonstrators marched to the US Embassy yesterday. And in Germany, about 1,200 demonstrated in a square in Stuttgart and 500 protested in Frankfurt."

Wow, the Commies are coming, the Commies are coming!!!!
