Arkan interview (March 1999) 2/2

British reporter John Simpson performs an interview with Željko "Arkan" Ražnatović in Belgrade, March 1999. The interview was broadcast live on Yugoslavian Television and also aired in some western countries.

At this time the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia had just begun. John Simpson was one of the few western journalists who remained in Belgrade.

At the 10-year aniversary of this tragic war political commentator Nebojsa Malic wrote these words about it:

"The bombing of then-Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, begun March 24, 1999, was in essence a demonstration of power by which the Atlantic Empire chose to reveal itself to the world. Until then, NATO was considered a defensive alliance; in the words of its first Secretary-General, Lord Ismay, its purpose was to "keep the Russians, out, the Americans in, and the Germans down." During the conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia (1991-1995), the Alliance gradually claimed more and more authority, until it was driving the UN, and not the other way around. But on March 24, 1999, NATO - and Washington - would bypass the UN entirely.

It is said today that the war ("intervention") was fought to protect the innocent ethnic Albanians, who were being "oppressed" by a vicious Serbian regime. But insiders have admitted the purpose of the bombing had little to do with Serbs or the Albanians, and much to do with power politics, especially the U.S. relations with Russia."

Look up war in Slovenia

Look up war in Croatia

Look up war in Bosnia

Look up war in Kosovo

And that is only recent... funny how the single denominator is serbia.. why did you attack Slovenia, Why Croatia, why Bosnia, why Kosovo..?

Don't talk about things you are NOT prepared to look into the eyes. serbia is a chauvinist, racist, genocidal nation.

[zragisha]

@zdssh I know the lies that your leaders invented (look up weapons of mass destruction) in order to invade and exploit my country... you tell me to do research on my own people? stop clowning, please! your TV lies at you!

[zdssh]

@zragisha - serbophobia..?? LOL

Look up "greaterserbia" and genocide, their you will find what serbs are (in general). 

[zdssh]

@zragisha - fancy yourself as a lingist and a researcher... LOL

Well then look this one up ... SERVUS / SERVI.

While you are at it look up genocide and Srebrenica.

Why not even look up Zeljko Raznatovic (Arkan) you may find him as a wanted man for criminal acts.

Look up what Arkan said about serbs "Braco srbi STOKO..!!!" meaning, "brother serbs you are ANIMALS.

Learn so you may not die stupid.

[zragisha]

@zdssh you should learn to spell your fancy insults right if you don't want to look loke an idiot. you poor imperialistic scum came down with serbophobia, a neurological disorder caused by an overdose of media manipulation. get better soon!

[zdssh]

@zragisha - you are an imbicil and a serb apologist.

serbia attacked unarmed nations in order to create a greater serbia and create genocide against all nonserbs.

You didnt succeed.

[zragisha]

@zdssh they all bought weapons from the west and formed armies who persecuted, killed and expelled tens of thousands of serbs who lived outside of tito's serbia, in today western puppet states where nothing works as it should exept of organized crime. have a look at demography: nobody in fromer yugoslavia has been expelled and slaughtered as much us. your system will fail because it is made of lies. and we always remained victorious, even when it took 500 years. you are no match for us!

[zdssh]

@zragisha - you pray for conditional peace on your terms. Battle..? serbs should NOT cross their borders and there would be NO WARS... BUT if you talk about battle they it will be again on non serb soil, you will lose again.

Serbs are genocidal, history proves it, serbs have lost EVERY war, history proves it. Your battle should be within, conquer yourself and dont touch innocent people.

[zdssh]

@zragisha - thats exactly what serbs did, attacked Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo whilst they were unarmed. That is cowardess and genocide.

[zragisha]

@zdssh I pray for peace every day, but I hope that if we ever meet, it will be in battle
