The Death of Yugoslavia: BBC Documentary (5 hours)

This Documentary is Excellent. Full Interviews, Timelines, and lots of combat footage.

Extremely detailed and very well done.

Enjoy and Take Notes.

And ask yourself hard questions: Like why they would create war propaganda in English out of dead bodies…

    I remember a lot of us in the barracks watching the shooty bits play out, and wondering when we were gonna Forward Deploy to Aviano (East CONUS, Scandinavia, Europe and North Africa were our areas) and we went to a 24 hr alert after the Russians squared off with NATO at Pristina.
    Eventually got to see some of Europe on other deployments, they have an ENTIRELY different mind-think over there. While the NATO .mil units might have loved Americans over there, the civilians were NOT impressed with America (or Americans, only shop keepers liked US$ coming in). I was quite shocked, I have watched Brit and EU news ever since to keep a check on the news (propaganda?) from both sides of the pond.

      our public servants, who claim to rep us, enrich themselves, at their expence, in our name, without repercussion’s, for longer than we have been alive. Dont expect their respect

    I recall Sarajevo quite well, even after all these years. Iraq was nothing compared to the destruction I saw there.

      I have not watched the video yet but I certainly will. Apologies for ignorance but is that entire landmass considered Yugoslavia? I remember high school our neighbors took in a Croatian feller and I would give him a ride to school. Good dude and I will never forget the look on his face when I pulled over one day and me and my brother smoked a joint before school. Would have been 92/93ish. I never cared to ask much back then. It was only after listening and reading Bracken that I learned about what happened over there. And that was mid summer last year.
      In fall last year I heard Glenn Beck play a clip of a woman from Yugoslavia warning Americans. The clip was made from last summer. It’s about 20 minutes long and if you google “Yugoslavian woman warns Americans” you should be able to find; if it has not been banned. What I could never square is how the Communists were able to use religious differences to get the populist to fight so violently. I say this because most of them looked the same physically (mostly white I think). Shit in comparison getting us to tear into each other should be a walk in a park. Different races in particular come to mind. And you are a fool if you do not see it happening as I write this. Point is, if they could get them to do go full barbarism its a walk in the park to ignite that spark over here. And I don’t think it will be much longer before the sirens go off.

        Well, look at how Ireland went after one another over Protestant and Catholic views.

        I think most people are missing the point in this war. First, the events leading up to the blow up, were a direct result of the muslim Hijrah in Kosovo.
        They were playing their game of getting numbers up in that territory, then making it impossible for anyone else. Murder, rapes, beatings, etc.
        That was the ignition point and the Serbs were getting the worst of it, because the central committee would ignore the crimes, to keep the ‘Albanians’ happy, just like Germany, France, Sweden are doing today.
        The reminder of the country fragmented because ‘multicultural countries’ are unstable messes and always fragment.
        They really got cranked up when the Serbs consolidated and decided to vote as a block, essentially as a political party, rather than the communist collective.
        The other item was the break away of Croatia which was predetermined because, A) they were largely despised due to their history, most recent was WW2,. There were lots of people in the Serb areas, who remembered their conduct from then. It was no mistake that they chose the Facist flag when the separated.
        As far as the rest, it was a civil war, and ugly destructive mess, everybody ethnically cleansed, every side had militia thugs, and it was a media circus from the beginning. There was more media bullshit spewed in that dust-up than almost any event since then.
        In reality, it was the inevitable breakup of an unstable multicultural country, with the resulting civil war being supported by other entities.
        In the end, Nato and in particular the US ended up fighting, bombing etc for a Facist regime, and protecting muslims, whilst ignoring the atrocities of both these groups against the Serbs.

        In some respects, the entire landmass north of Greece was considered “Yugoslavia”. Things were as formal as they were informal until certain people decided they didn’t like taking orders from fat muslim cops with Stalin mustaches and hair cuts who call everyone fascists all day. Violence ensued, as it usually does.

    Just about done watching this. There are many places shown that I remember well, many many of the areas had not changed much by the time I first landed in BiH. In the years I spent in BiH, I saw lots of reconstruction up till I finally departed in 2005.
    Today many of my Bosnian friends have left BiH because the old hatred Is again stewing. It will never end. A few still remain.
