Is there any truth to the claim that Yugoslavia slaughtered people from Kosovo or is it just another Uyghur thing?

(Even if relatively true it still doesn’t make the bombing of Yugoslavia justified)

    There were supposedly 20000 Muslim rape victims, and and unnamed Bosnian serb commander who was reported to say ‘go forth and rape’ - was never named or evidence produced.

    The New York times eventually ran a retraction - "the existence of a systemic rape policy remains to be proved’

    The media repeatedly referred to ‘rape camps’ allegedly maintained by serbs as a part of a campaign of “ethnic breeding”. Thousands of captive Muslim women were reportedly impregnated and forced to give birth to Serbian children.

    But after the hostilities ceased and UN troops occupied all of bosnia-herzegovnia, the mass rape camps never materialized.

    Sounds like the standard Western journalist playbook at this point.

    Happy to provide citations too, got that from parenti’s to kill a nation.

      Oh wait I can believe it because they’re deadbeat liberal fucks!
