So do we(NATO etc) fight for Kosovo if need be?

Or hand it back because....

"How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing."
-Neville Chamberlain

?

After all its just some lines on a map..






"I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few."





I think its the very beginnings of a Cold War like situation...at least for a while.

This was from Bubba Clinton's expedition into an area where the US has no interest. The US could give the Kosovans moral and diplomatic support as a would-be democracy, but we don't need to be involved in any more eurowars.

Last time we left the Europeans to sort their problems out, they got into 2 world wars. Kosovo has a right to be free from the people who ethnically cleansed and oppressed them for too long.

Put 20000 Marines in Kosovo, at the discretion of the Kosovan Government. That should make America's position quite clear

Russia will do nothing if we this. We need to make it crystal clear that we call the shots.

I am interested in China's opinions on the matter........

Kosovo has been oppressed for too long. It disgusts me. Russia backing the Serbians is disgusting. Oppression in all forms needs to be corrected. If we can help the Kosovans and show the Russians that we play hard ball still, in one go, then why not?

Russia is pathetic to challenge the US so early after beginning the road of recovery, let us put them back in their place.

Well, well, well... I think it would be better to have a person from Russia on this forum to talk about the last news... You have the one point of view and I have another one. I beg you pardon for my English, but I hope you'll understand me.

You told that Russia is backing the Serbians, and you think it's disgusting. Is it more disgusting than massacre that Albanians did? They cut out the whole families, including old mens and womens, childrens and their parents. They forced the Serbians to get out from their native land.

Yes, Russia backes the Serbians and we will do that again and again. You want to put us in our place. Hmm... Hitler thought the same way... We all know what happened with him.

Do you want to play a game?







(you may not know what I mean at all so......if you're russian...so...

Do you want to fight Global Thermonuclear War over it?

Both our countries can still exterminate every living thing on this planet in 30 minutes.

I suppose we can still fight a conventional world war..after all we fought World War II and for the most part nobody used Poison Gas. Course gas doesn't have the the same potential that nuclear weapons do.

How about we just sit and make faces at each other until you collapse again.
After all there's plenty of other people we can both sell weapons to and bomb when we get an itch for the real thing.
