          Posts a youtube video instead of directly addressing the previous parenti quote

          Expects you to directly adress a video, when you point out that said youtuber should be viewed sceptically

          Sorry not gonna bother watching stuff from a “anti-imperialist” YouTuber that calls China capitalist and imperialist.

              I’m really surprised I know about this and you don’t. I would appreciate you looking into it before dismissing it.

                  I read a book a long time ago about it. Maybe I still have it, I’ll look after I recover enough. But the account @davel@lemmy.ml posted seems to align largely with what I recall. In short, if it’s a Western narrative, take it with several kilos of salt.

                    It’s an anti-Western narrative. NATO wanted the genocide to happen to kill Bosnian Muslims. They blocked weapons to both sides because they knew it would functionally give the Serbs the opportunity to genocide the Bosnians. And they knew of the genocide while they were happening. In the end they rewarded the Serbs for committing the genocide. It’s all pretty clearly laid out in the video.
