1. Explain to me -

this (RT.com) appears to be a Russian English-speaking online fake tv news program.

Is that correct?

[bherrera]

2. It seems correct - and they have the right version of history

The Russian TV is showing you information Americans are not able to see in their nationalist/imperialist/jingoist media. The USA intervention in the Balkans has always been known to be a product of the idea that USA forces bombing and invading the Balkans would help the USA image in the Muslim world. "We bomb for Muslims" was an idea of Clinton and Albright. It has gained them the hatred of Serbian Christians.

3. Your theorem is.....bizarre

The US interceded in Bosnia and Kosovo to impress Muslims, and Serbian Christians now hate the US for it? Um, where do I start... lol

Nationalist Bosnian Serb Christians, backed by Serbia, started sniping civilians, bombing breadlines, and generally murdering non Serb Bosnian civilians. The Bosnian Serb Christians then started a campaign of ethnic cleansing, and rape against the local Muslim population. The Bosnian Serb Christians, with the backing of Serbia, began putting non Serbian populations into concentration camps and hunting and killing them like animals. Christian Serbs began blocking all aid to refugee packed Muslim enclaves in Bosnia. The US declared 'safe zones' for the genocide victims and began airdropping supplies in those zones.

... and on and on and on...
... and more genocide by other Christian Serbs in Kosovo.... and so forth....

It all ended when NATO had enough and bombed Serbia into submission. The angry Serb people captured Milosevic and handed him over to the Hague to face war crimes trials, along with many of the Bosnian Serb Christian leaders.

Your theorem is.....crap

4. How can you tell fake teevee from real teevee??? (Rhetorical) n/t

5. If there had been western Christians in Bosnia as there had been in Croatia, let alone mostly Muslim

Bosnia's horrible fight for preservation would have been shorter and hugely less bloody. If Serbia was Roman Catholic or Protestant instead of Eastern Orthodox, Serbia might have been able to wipe Bosnia away in genocide. If Serbia were Muslim then serbia would have wiped out. The break up of Yugoslavia was more about Rhuwanda than about politics. It was an attempted genocide of Muslim Europeans. People who looked a lot like the people murdering them.
