We had no state TV shows where people talked about exterminating Serbia in our "jihad" against "Satan" while smiling.

I am not sure why bombing a country to smithereens is better depending on what your state TV is broadcasting.

And being controversial means a plenty of people thought it was unjustified, wrong, and even actually criminal, and spoke about it as such. They were in mass media, they were in politics, and they weren't being jailed for this.

It was criminal, and yet they did it. And if they could, they'd have jailed their critics as well. For now, they must be satisfied with just calling them Putin puppets or Russian spies.

It wasn't Yugoslavia, this country had ceased to exist 8 years prior. It was the new "SFR Yugoslavia", and even this minus Montenegro even before Montenegro formally seceded from Serbia. It was really just this, Serbia and Kosovo. And NATO killed only about 3-4% or so of the civilians who died in the Kosovo war.

So a special military operation in order to protect the Muslims of Albania against Nazi drug addicts? How interesting. But do tell me again that it's OK when you do it.
