So was he really that bad, or was he the first victim of US/NATO unipolar dominance in the post-Soviet world...

How about a leftist one that isn't biased towards Serbia?

Read the fucking book.

I know that Milosevic was critical of the West due to their alliance with corporate fascists and Islamists, but that doesn't make his ultranationalist, actually-existing """socialist""" ass much better

Also, isn't Parenti defensive of any anti-West welfare state that seems to have just tiny bits of socialist characteristics?

Yes, he was better than Western imperialism.

The American Empire needs to be destroyed. Deal with it.

I guess killing civilians en masse is a-okay if you mutter something about how much you hate America while your generals do it. NATO still only intervened to further the interests of American and Western European capital though, that is beyond dispute.

Did he really believe in any type of socialism besides "keep Yugoslavia together" even Parenti admits he was a Western favorite until they found better puppets.

I have questions about what actually happened. It's not like I don't believe that Serbs couldn't have done or didn't commit any crimes it but there seems to be some ambiguity about whether he actually ordered these crimes committed. Then he drops dead while in jail from a "heart attack" before any of this shit can go to trial. Suspicious.

There is one thing that Parenti was definitely right about, the serbs took the bad rap while the Croatian fascists and Islamist groups committed the majority of the ethnic cleansing and atrocities in that war.

FUCK YOU
Jesus Christ, this is disgusting
I feel ill reading this, I can't believe another human being (that isn't Serbian) could write something like this, I don't care what Parenti says, this is an absolute lie
Everyone on this board is ready to disregard mass graves on the flimsiest of excuses as long as the right people are filling them
and yes I'm a Croat so you can call me biased right off the bat, a loony nationalist who wants to drink the blood of Serbs blah blah blah

Milosevic is absolutely guilty and Parenti writes low grade apologia. Ban me forever to free me from this hell.
