The NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia Was a Criminal Act, Western Media Were Accomplices, Covering Up the Crimes of NATO and the KLA

Michel Chossudovsky, professor of economics from the University of Ottawa and founder of the Centre for Research on Globalization, said on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the beginning of the NATO aggression against FR Yugoslavia that it was the first official NATO war against a sovereign country, but not the last, because that war agenda was later used in various wars, and in which media propaganda played a big role, which shows its face even today when it comes to Ukraine.
Chossudovsky pointed out for Tanjug that in the case of the bombing of the FRY, the propaganda machinery was well organized, but also that the war was a brutal and merciless action, planned years before, which, among other things, is confirmed by the construction of the US military base Bondsteel in occupied Kosovo, which many see as a strategic support for the US presence in this region.
“When you have US President Donald Trump, who makes statements that he wants to reduce military spending by billions and billions of dollars, and who is reticent about NATO’s role in American military bases, which is the case with Bondsteel, I think it would be appropriate for the Government of Serbia to kindly send a note to Washington, citing Trump’s concerns about military spending,” Chossudovsky said.
According to him, the note should say that Bondstyle is a burden for Serbia, a burden for the so-called Kosovo and for Washington, that “we want to cooperate” and that “we would like that base to be closed”.
He added that this would be a position in line with the rhetoric of the US president, who even said he would close military bases in Europe.
“And there you have an opportunity,” Chossudovsky said, pointing out that the relationship between the US and NATO is complex, but also that NATO does not actually decide on anything, and that all major decisions go through the Pentagon and very complex command structures.
Serbia, as he emphasized, must regain control over AP K
