Attacking Voivodina and Kosovo to protect Montenegro, what a plan!

Truly worthy of the puzzle palace, that one.
Isn't it more likely that NATO will accept a cease-fire now that Milosevic can deliver on his threat to escalate the conflict in Montenegro?
Wouldn't it take months to assemble a ground force?
Wouldn't it be a mistake to duplicate the Nazi invasion?

So if I read you right, no longer is this a mission to save the Kosovar Albanians, it is a mission to save face for Clinton and Nato and make sure people understand that we are going to be the big boys in the sandbox from now on and don't you forget it.

This is disgusting.

>>"A ground invasion must not be limited to Kosovo. In fact, the approach from Hungary--now a NATO ally--into the Voivodina region of Serbia and directly to Belgrade is open country that invites a high-speed armored ground attack."<<

The "plan" has one major flaw. What if Hungary says NO?

Paul- Germans used a 3 pronged attack against Yugoslavia

Attack began on April 6 1941 with Luftwaffe bombing of Belgrade.

Ist Panzer Group attacked from staging area in Bulgaria
XLI Panzer Corps attacked from Hungary
XLVI Panzer Corps attacked from Austria
