Still, the war was a gross violation of the soverenity
of Yugoslavia, and abuse of the NATO charter, and it
did result in numerous violations of the Geneva Conven-
tion, despite being some kind of "humanitarian war",
if there ever could be such a thing.

The part I find most disturbing is the way Russia sold
out the Serbs so they could have a free hand in the
Chechnyan conflict. It was about as ugly a foreign
policy situation as what we saw when Hitler and Stalin
decided to carve up Poland in 1939.

When depleted uranium munitions explode they vaporize. Presumably that means the people that get most exposure would be soldiers at the front. Or maybe those soldiers were exposed to other radioactive sources in the area.

I agree with what you said about NATO vaccines, perhaps it reduced their immunity. I don't believe it could cause six fatal cancers that quickly alone.

The DU munitions also appear to contain other carcinogenic heavy metals.
