Was the US and NATO justified in intervening in the Bosnian war?
>>404023
It was wrong in causing it, the intervention may have been for the better.
>>404035
My question wasn't about the Islamists though
>>404040
If you are a friend of the Republic of Kosovo and the way the country is now developing, or the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, their muslim part more precisely, and the way they are developing as well as the cultural values they promote throughout the world. Then YES, from that view it is justified.
>>404073
But from an as neutral as possible view?
>>404023
Serbia was justified in doing what they did
>>404099
neutral? no such thing
if you support muslims, you'll get dead christians, if you support christians you get dead muslims. that is war. NATO and the US supported muslims, because the christians living there were anti-american.
If you are an european, you'll probably have more support for fellow christian europeans, if you are american or a pro-american european you'll probably have more support for the muslims.
Interest, not justification, this is how it works.

You have such a retarded cartoonish view.
Do you really believe the world politics revolve around religion, especially in the west?
The intervention was because genocide was happening right in the western neighborhood. Mostly an ethnic cleansing but mixed with anti-muslim views.

>Interest, not justification, this is how it works.
The reason for interventions was very simple. To defuse civil war in both cases as it was threatening to cause rather big refugee crisis in Europe. Serbs had strongest military position in both Bosnia and Kosovo, they had already committed serious atrocities and massacred people all over Bosnia. In Kosovo there was risk of that happening all over again. Because Serbs were in strongest position of civil war factions they were least willing faction for ceasefire and peace agreement. Croats, Bosniaks and Kosovo Albanians were willing to do what US, NATO, EU and UN wanted. That basically sealed who will get bombed.

If Serbia succeeded they probably would have murdered a load of babies that would grow up to fight for ISIS.
So it would be a long-game win for the US.

he even said it revolves around interest in the same post. also genocide happens every day, noone gives a fuck until it serves a purpose.

That comes with colossal amounts of hindsight. Al Qaida, caliphate and global jihad against west weren't really a thing back then. Islamic terrorism against west prior to Al Qaida was seen as part of local conflicts like Arab-Israeli conflict, Lebanese and Algerian civil wars.
ISIS is offspring of Al Qaida in Iraq. ISIS as it's today didn't exist until Syrian Civil War was at full swing, bit afterwards they got that radical that Al Qaida disowned 'em. After that radical islamists everywhere jumped the ship to support ISIS as it's most successful bunch of islamist goat fuckers so far.
