How he created the war in Bosnia

You may believe that it was the Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats in Bosnia who could not live together peacefully and so started a civil war. But it was Slobo’s evil Master Plan again. He knew he had to get Izetbegovic to ask for independence. When Bosnia’s Muslims then were joined by the Croats, he knew the Serbs would walk out, start their own parliament and go for independence. Since everybody else did it, why shouldn’t they? It was so easy, like a domino game. All he had to do was to make the first move, and the rest would follow.

Then he could send in his JNA troops, his Arkan Tigers and Seselj’s White Eagles and say it was all in defence of the poor Serbs who were threatened by a Muslim fundamentalist state in the middle of Europe. It was a lie, of course, but it worked. All of them – Izetbegovic, Tudjman, Karadzic and the rest – were just puppets in his evil hands.

How he made the U.S. bomb the Serbs in Bosnia

As we have seen, Slobo wanted to create a Greater Serbia and so he needed to get rid of all the non-Serbs. But he also knew that the Serbs in Bosnia were a bit difficult to handle, they had their own ideas and he could not control them completely. So he decided to get them bombed. Here is how he did it.

He called up Bill Clinton and said: “Bill, my friend, you know I am a man of peace. I have tried to stop this war in Bosnia for years, but these Bosnian Serbs are crazy. They don’t listen to me. I think you should bomb them. It will make you look like a strong leader, and it will make me look like a peace-maker. What do you say?”

Clinton was a bit hesitant at first, but then Slobo said: “And Bill, I have a little gift for you. I will give you the contract for rebuilding Bosnia after the war. You can give it to your friends in Halliburton and Bechtel. They will love you for it.”

This was an offer Clinton could not refuse. So he ordered the bombing of the Bosnian Serbs in 1995. It was a great success. The Serbs were defeated, and Clinton was re-elected. And Slobo was hailed as a peace-maker. He was even invited to Dayton to sign the peace agreement.

How he started the war in Kosovo

After Dayton, Slobo was a bit bored. He needed a new war. So he decided to start one in Kosovo. He had been preparing for it for years. Already in 1989, he had abolished the autonomy of Kosovo and started to oppress the Albanian majority. He knew that this would lead to resistance, and that was exactly what he wanted.

He created a special police force, the MUP, and sent them to Kosovo to terrorize the Albanians. He closed their schools and universities, fired them from their jobs and made their lives miserable. He knew that this would radicalize them and that some of them would take up arms. And that was exactly what happened.

In 1996, the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, appeared on the scene. It was a small group of armed men who started to attack Serbian policemen and officials. Slobo was delighted. He had his pretext for a full-scale war. He sent his army to Kosovo and started a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing. He killed thousands of Albanians and drove hundreds of thousands out of the country.

How he made NATO bomb his own country

Slobo knew that the West would not tolerate this. He knew that they would intervene. And that was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to be bombed. He wanted to be a martyr. He wanted to be the hero who defended his country against the mighty NATO.

So he refused all attempts at a peaceful solution. He refused to sign the Rambouillet agreement, which would have given Kosovo a high degree of autonomy. He knew that this would lead to bombing. And that was exactly what happened.

On March 24, 1999, NATO started its bombing campaign against Serbia. It lasted for 78 days. It destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure and killed thousands of people. But Slobo was happy. He had his war. He was the hero he wanted to be.
