Finian Cunningham Talking With Alex Kraimer About the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999

Only eight years after the cold war ended, NATO illegally bombed a former Warsaw Pact country.

Alex Krainer, author of Grand Deception, contends that the NATO military aggression in Yugoslavia in 1999 was a strategic gambit by the US-led Western powers to pursue hegemonic ambitions of dominating Russia and any other geopolitical rival. The aggression 25 years ago fatally undermined international law and set a precedent for the next quarter century of endless US and NATO wars around the world, including in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, across the Middle East and North Africa, and elsewhere. The current US-led NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia can be traced back to the historic assault on Yugoslavia.

21:20 he makes an interesting point, which is that if you are extracting raw material resources from a region then you need to be able to manage the capital and labor in those countries to be able to get at those resources. You also need to be able to hold back real economic and social development in those countries to prevent the people there from making use of those resources themselves.

The Coming World Disorder 

It is clear that the world order that prevailed since the end of the Second World War has come to an end. It had been based on two superpowers vying for world domination. They stood for diametrically opposed principles of social organization and they considered each other mortal enemies. The global conflict between them governed all the local conflicts. Occasionally it came to actual fighting, but both sides avoided an all-out confrontation because each side had the capacity to annihilate the other. It was possible to score local victories but they had to fall short of threatening the survival of the other side, because it might have endangered one’s own survival. The prevailing order was called the Cold War. The name was apt because both sides were mobilized for war, battle lines were drawn throughout the world, and internal conflicts within each camp were kept frozen by the external threat.

Here is a talk with Dan Kovalic

International lawyer and author Dan Kovalik says that the “humanitarian” pretext for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was a sham. 

The real objective, he says, was for the United States and its Western imperialist partners to create a precedent for systematically violating international law.

Kovalik is the author of the book ‘No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using Humanitarian Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests’.
