This is an account for a Serbian paper from relatively famous Yugoslav (as he would most likely call himself) actor Rade Šerbedžija (the guy from the Batman coat meme).

This account is perhaps one of the best symbolizing why the destruction of Yugoslavia was bad for all parties. Everyone lied to gain what turned out to be nothing in the end. Only the pro-Yugoslavs ended up vindicated, but wiped from the pages of history.

To this day, he describes himself as a "Yugo-nostalgic".

I entered the Nana club with my students Branka Katic and Dara Šuković and my friend Andrej Popović, which was located not far from the apartment of Lenka's parents where I lived at the time. Previously, that evening on May 27, 1992, we celebrated the birth of my daughter Nina at the Writers' Club. There were three of them, young people. As soon as we entered, they immediately started throwing insults at me and saying "traitor one Serb", "go to Tudjman", they cursed my mother and so on. I reached the bar; I knew the guy behind him because he used to work in Šeher. He immediately told me that they were drunk and armed and asked me to leave. We had just finished our drinks when a shot rang out above my head - the bullet hit the ceiling. I turned around and saw the two men holding the hand of the young man who had shot. He was drunk. The only door was next to them and we had to go through there. I told Branka "just take it easy without fear". While we were passing by them, the one who was shooting threw it at me, whispering: "Rade, fuck your mother..." We went out. I got in the car, came home - it was three hundred meters away - poured whiskey and only then my knees buckled; only when the adrenaline subsided did I realize what had happened.

Ljuba Tadić later found out that the young man who shot was from my area, from Lika. Who knows what he felt at that moment and what was going on in his head and why I was not a good enough Ličan, a good enough Serb for him. But how could it be otherwise? Because I spoke out against the war in Sarajevo at the time, and in Belgrade, in the television news, they showed a picture of me saying something and said: "Rade Šerbedžija always said that he could not choose a side and that he would not choose one; it seems that Šerbedžija is now chose the Muslim side". And in Zagreb, in the newspaper, at the same time, on the same day, they showed the same picture and said: "This is the last attempt of Šerbedžija to save Yugoslavia." And what to say to that young man at that hour when he is watching state television saying that, who mounts it? Today, I would like to have a drink with that guy, maybe we would hug and kiss, maybe now he realizes - and he probably did - that I was right.

Of course, the way the article is worded, you'd think Putin was weak and feckless.

In reality tho, and as my previous posts suggest (at least regarding BBC editors), this is all just projection.

The West is a bully who has been punched hard right in the face, and is dazed, confused, and teary-eyed afterwards, almost looking beggingly at their victim who turned on them.

I think it's safe to say that the Globalist war machine has, for all intents and purposes, broken down.

Today, Biden (allegedly at the increasing private demand of military brass) announced that he'd hold talks.

And what was Putin's reply.

"Kiss my hand"

MPMD has ended the "career" of noted swindler "Liver King"...

....And the only reason it took this long is because he has so many emails to go through that he forgot to check this one from last year...

NATO is admitting that the only thing "uniting" people in prolonging the war in Ukraine is a constant bombardment of alleged war-crimes on the (state-owned) news media. Most likely, this is a set-up (same case in Syria and Libya) so that a "war crime" can be found that motivates Westerners to take drastic actions.

So many questions regarding this report.

1.) Why was it that the media was only being allowed in like 1.5 weeks after the capture to report on it?

You'd think that if there were war crimes, then it would be reported instantaneously for maximum effect.

There were reporters on the ground recently within that time, but they were actually sent away by the Ukrainian government for "disinformation" reasons (btw, these reporters were from CNN - youtube.com/watch?v=Px51U_pfOB).

2.) Why is it that there are no photos, contrary to what happened at Bucha.

Is it because at Bucha, the victims were all placed along the side of the road, many outside their houses, all bound, and all wearing white armbands (a sign of Russian sympathies)?

3.) The way the prisoners were treated is eerily similar to how the Ukrainians have been treating their POW's all throughout the conflict.

Things like beating, exposure to cold, being forced to sing the Ukrainian anthem, renounce Russia and the Russian language etc...

There are (or, maybe, were) copiuous amounts of video footage, from 2014/15 all the way up till now, of Ukrainian soldiers doing this.

Could it be that this entire report is actually itself a "disinformation" campaign, or rather, one big projection?

Big Brain (TM) moment...

Remembering that time the FBI did a report on abuses in Gitmo/Ghraib, and they found that prisoners were being draped in the Israeli flag and forced to kneel and listen to heavy metal music, with the approval of the DHS.
