Kosovo: To the Victors Go the Spoils

This is a link to a 2012 article. It made it into the New York Times which grants it a level of significance and yet the story should have been bigger. It should have made headlines and if people really understood its significance they would be angry. The warmongers cashed in. This is how loot and pillage works in the 21^st century.

A subservient government is set up and in the case of Kosovo it's one that could not survive without American backing. The PM (Thaçi) is a war criminal and mobster that is only able to survive because he's backed by powerful entities such as the US government and NATO.

His country which some refer to as the 51^st state is up for sale. This no doubt just pours fuel on the fires of Serbian anger as they see the justification for the wars were rooted in lies and manipulations and in reality it was a colonial enterprise.

The Madeleine Albright's and Wesley Clark's of the world can claim otherwise but the truth is plain to see.

There's a lesson here for other nations that the US wages war on. In addition to Afghanistan and Iraq, nations like Libya await potential investment if stability can ever be implemented. There are easily a dozen nations in Africa that face similar scenarios. And of course we have recently seen how the Biden's cashed in on the Obama administration's 2014 coup in Ukraine. It's the same story.

These wars are about geopolitics and strategy. They're about resources but on another level it's even more basic. People are out to make money. While American nativists decry the many immigrants who come to the United States it must be remembered these expatriate communities are cultivated. They develop their own Western educated, trained and connected elites which sit in the wings... ready to return to the homeland as US proxies, as viceroys and agents for both Wall Street and the Pentagon.
