Thank you!
Any time 
My take on the whole thing is that thereâs a remote possibility that the Venezuelan govt mightâve known some folks applying to emigrate couldâve been criminals. Ultimately thereâs nothing to gain by willingly sending criminals abroad because the end result is Venezuelan expats in general would be impacted, as they send money back into the country to help family. Not counting possible sanctions and trade impacts.
Venezuelan govt is corrupt and stupid, so who knows but iâm certainly not going to buy into conspiracy theories especially if its those repeated by Trump.
Today Argentina remembers victims of their latest dictatorship, but the Milei government asks for something they call the âcomplete historyâ. In an official government video, an ally of the president argues that March 24 should also be a date to commemorate the violence perpetrated by the left and questions the statistics of 30,000 missing people.
Both sides, they sayâŠ

This is⊠umâŠ
âIt is the 26th anniversary of the NATO bombing. And we protest because this building has been given to someone to make profit,â said Ognjen Pjevac, a 20-year-old University of Belgrade student. âBut it should remain here as it is a testimony to NATO aggression.â
Iâm curious is this is a widely held view by the student protesters⊠Would they say that the invasion of Kosovo was the right thing to do in the first place? That the ethnic cleansing of Albanians was the right and proper thing for the yugoslav government to have done (for decades by that point, I should note, as there was a policy of removing some Kosovar Albanians as âturksâ and shipping them off to Turkey, despite being Kosovar Albanians). Do they believe that rolling back autonomy for Kosovo was the right move by Milosevic? If they oppose the current right wing government, why would they support actions undertaken by an arguably MORE corrupt government back then? One that was carrying out an ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, while underwriting acts of genocide in other parts of the once unified country.
Now, I think protesting this is the right move, as it certainly shows the corruption of the current government⊠hell, I think it would be great to turn this building into a memorial for the wars of the 90s. But erasing the genocidal aim of Milosevic and assuming that the only problem was the âimperialistâ actions of the US, freed from any sort of useful context on the wars at the time, and the DEEPLY authoritarian nature of the Milosevic regime, isnât helpful at all.

Yes.
With respect to NATO violations of international humanitarian law, Human Rights Watch was concerned about a number of cases in which NATO forces:
· conducted air attacks using cluster bombs near populated areas;
· attacked targets of questionable military legitimacy, including Serb Radio and Television, heating plants, and bridges;
· did not take adequate precautions in warning civilians of attacks;
· took insufficient precautions identifying the presence of civilians when attacking convoys and mobile targets; and
· caused excessive civilian casualties by not taking sufficient measures to verify that military targets did not have concentrations of civilians (such as at Korisa).
All that being said, it stopped more ethnic cleansing and genocide. Serbia was the aggressor here, and they had been aiding acts of genocide in Bosnia for years by that point. No good answers in an incredibly shitty situation that looked unlikely to end well if allowed to play out. 
I still say it was the right, if not ideal move.
Think of it this way - I think we can ALL agree that the bombing of Dresden was fucking horrific. It leveled the city, killed thousands of people⊠Was it worth it? Did it help the Allied War effort?
Maybe the real human rights abuse is war in the first place. maybe if we could find a way to solve our problems without mass slaughter weâd all be better off. War is always going to be like this, especially when it involves people who believe that their destiny is to wipe out entire populations not to their liking. You tell me, what is the right move when faced with that kind of mindset? And the bombings helped motivate the peace movement in Serbia, too.
So you know, weâve regularly experienced wait times for specialists at over a year, in major US cities. Youâre still only half as bad as us.
