On March 24, 1999, NATO troops began mass bombing of Yugoslavia. They were not authorised by the UN safety Council. The bombings lasted 78 days. The Western troops made about 23,000 combat flights and dropped 28,000 bombs. NATO's bombings were referred to as "armistic intervention", not "war". Since planet War II, no 1 has declared war, thus circumventing global law. present Vladimir Putin says that he does not wage war with Ukraine just “a peculiar military operation”.
"Factivating Allowances" (Chomsky) for NATO bombing began already in 1991. The direct “flywheel” was the “massacre” in the village of Raczak. On January 15, 1999, a grave of forty-five Albanians was discovered. William Walker, Head of Mission of the Organisation for safety and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), accused the Serb genocide. (Walker, associate Council on abroad Relations, U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, was liable for organizing false humanitarian operations at the Ilopango Salvadoran Air Base.)
On January 17, 1999, the United States demanded the NATO Council to bomb Belgrade in retaliation for events in Raczak.
At that time, the Yugoslav authorities claimed that the incidental was arranged by the Kosovo Liberation Army (AWK) to gain NATO support.
Helena Rante, head of a squad of Finnish forensic experts who investigated the case, said in an interview with “Berliner Zeitung”: “A group of states was curious in a version of events in Raczak that blamed the blame on the Serbian side.”
British reporter Tim Marshall writes in his book “In the Shadow Theatre. A past of the last European war" that the Kosovo Liberation Army has "drug smuggling, creating prostitution networks and murdering civilians". Under covert operations, the US and British intelligence services provided military, technical, financial, logistical and political support to the AWC.
According to Prof. Roman Kuźniar, the Kosovo Liberation Army “decided to give the impression of cultural cleansing, prompting the population to leave the state mass, which, through the Western media, worked perfectly for public opinion in these countries. Finally, there has been a charge, later completely disproved by the UN commission, of genocide committed in Kosovo."
78 Days of Operation Allied Force
On March 24, 1999 NATO bombings under the code name Allied Force began. It was expected to be a multiday war, a super Blitzkrieg. The raids lasted 78 days... The Western troops made about 23,000 combat flights and dropped about 28,000 bombs.
They utilized 1392 cluster bombs containing 289 536 charges. Cluster ammunition is 1 of the most deadly weapons. Cluster bombs are peculiarly dangerous to civilians. They can hurt people over 7,000 sq mi. The usage of cluster ammunition has been prohibited since 2008, which has been signed by over a 100 countries. Poland, Russia, the United States and China are not organization to this convention.
During the war on Kosovo, the civilian population was not warned about raids. Bombardments were carried out from at least 5,000 metres in tallness to avoid the firing of Yugoslav anti-aircraft defense.
This resulted in errors and "side effects" in the form of civilian casualties. According to the global Criminal Court for the erstwhile Yugoslavia, about 500 civilians were killed as a consequence of NATO bombings, including 88 children, and about 800 were injured. And these are just authoritative records.
NATO bombed alleged dual-purpose facilities: industrial plants, airports, roads, tv and radio stations, railway lines and stations, bridges, power plants, transformers and electrical tractions, centres and communication lines, message buildings and another facilities applicable to civilian life. An energy critical infrastructure was attacked with graphite bombs. Bombing these facilities was a violation of Article 14 of the 1977 Protocol to the Geneva Convention, prohibiting the attack of the facilities essential for the endurance of civilians.

On 27 April, Surdulica was attacked, where 20 civilians were killed, including 12 children, and over 100 people were injured. On May 7, a civilian infirmary in Nishu was destroyed by cluster bombs. On 31 May, an old people's home and sanatorium were bombed, resulting in 20 civilians being killed and 88 wounded, etc.," notes Agnieszka Bienczyk-Missala in his book "War of the West. Armed interventions of Western countries after the Cold War".
The Yugoslav authorities estimated material losses at over USD 100 billion.
Bombing fake news
NATO raids ended on June 10, 1999. During the “humane intervention” of the Serbs, conventional bombs fell on them and fake news bombs fell on media users worldwide. I've already written that the pretext for bombing was a lie about genocide in the village of Raczak.
"Similar stories repeated after the war, erstwhile bodies were searched and many of the sites of alleged murders turned out to be empty, or respective bodies were found, while hundreds of victims were written during raids," writes Łukasz Szurmiński in the book "Propaganda Mechanisms. The image of the Kosovo conflict in public affairs".
Examples? “In Ljubenic close Pecia there were to be buried 3 100 and 50 killed. In July 1999, 7 bodies were found. In the Trepcy mine, Serbs were to dissolve hundreds of bodies of Kosovan Albanians in order to hide the crimes committed. In October 1999, the global Criminal Court in the erstwhile Yugoslavia, after an investigation, concluded that there were no traces of Serbian practices in the mine."
During NATO's first “war on human rights” and interred journalists lied and manipulated public opinion day and night. "The pact led an aggressive information policy: spreading rumors, sipping exaggerated, false stories or speculative stories. Much has been done to show the run of raids in a euphemistic way and to care for intellectual hygiene [the recipients – ed.], as if there was no blood transfer of civilians and causing fear. The press conferences were utilized to present intervention as "a humanitarian action", and it was inactive insisted that it was a military action against 1 man and his military infrastructure. civilian casualties were underestimated. (...) Everything has been done to undermine the credibility of events that did not service NATO's objectives," emphasized Peter Goff of the global Press Institute.
A separate issue is bombing lies that we have experienced from Polish media. In manipulations, “Gazeta Wyborcza” was the lead, which was meticulously documented by Łukasz Szurmiński.
Motives of NATO bombings
Why did NATO bomb Yugoslavia? authoritative communicative is always the same: we are fighting for freedom, democracy and human rights. It's a fairy tale for kids.
Here are 3 motives hidden from citizens.
"After the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and then after the NATO expansion to the east, the United States took the Gate from Russia to the Heart of Land, but remained Yugoslavia, in which Russia inactive had influence. That is why Yugoslavia was systematically broken from within for respective years, and in 1999 the US struck the final blow, attacking the remnant of Yugoslavia with Serbia. Yugoslavia ceased to exist, Russia was pushed out of that region, the desecrated area got under American control. The U.S. is gaining access to airports, bases and polygons in Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia," writes Tomasz Gabiś in "Report on Iraq War".
The second theme, worth reflection, is mentioned by Daniel Estulin in the book “The Shadow Lords”: “In 1996, members of the Bilderberg Club decided to get free of the then-president of Serbia Slobodan Milošević. (...) His socialist policy was on the road to the implementation of their capitalist agenda: transforming Europe as a full into a “free market”.’ It is worth noting that at that time more than 700,000 Yugoslav companies remained state-owned and most of them were managed by employee-directive committees.
And the 3rd recital mentioned by Agnieszka Bieńczyk-Missala in the book “The War of the West”: “[confirmation of NATO's credibility by an effective military action against the opposing expectations of the alliance was intended to confirm the Western's dominant function in shaping global governance in Europe.” In this spirit, General Wesley Clark, the NATO commander-in-chief, justified the ‘special military operation’.
Are you aware?
Looking at the war in Ukraine, it is worth remembering the war in Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, most of us have a short memory, which allows the political-military-industrial complex to cut us, citizens like sheep.
Prof. Marek Waldenberg in his book "The demolition of Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav mirror of global policy asks: "The attack on Yugoslavia was the first application of a fresh American strategy and preparation and an incentive for extended expansion to the mediate and mediate East. There is no reason to believe that Bush's administration will deviate from the ten-year trend. Nor can 1 number on the administration of the next president, whether Republican or Democrat. A essential condition for abandoning the current strategy is the creation of a mass social and political movement in the US that could force it. Is it on the horizon?’
