  8.  @fortnitepros8025  You forgot warsaw i notice. Plus german bombers bombed london in error from which then churchill retaliated with a bombing on berlin. Navigational errors, British counter-measures, and air-crew exhaustion prompted the bombers to overshoot their targets and mistakenly fly on towards blacked-out London in the early morning hours of 25 August. While most of the bombers dropped their explosives around the docks of East Ham and West Ham, justified military targets, there were a scattering of others that mistakenly bracketed central London with their bombs – 16 miles west in Staines, 12 miles south-west in Esher, and 8 miles north in north London. Additionally, there was one lone Heinkel that just so happened to drop its payload of approximately eight bombs, totalling two tons, directly on the financial heart of London: Fore Street in the Barbican. For the first time since the Zeppelin raids in World War I, in addition to factories and other military targets, the night sky of London glowed red from the flames of hundreds of burning homes. Interpreting the attack as deliberate rather than accidental, Churchill immediately and forcefully responded to the London bombing with a ‘massive’ retaliatory strike against the Nazi capital. This massive attack resulted in 2 injured and one zoo elephant killed. The result did have the effect of hitler changing their srategy from attacking airfields to carpet bombing civilians and flattening cities including my own of plymouth.

  9.  @dalu_  Why did nato expand? Maybe all the ex soviet states were shit scared of being invaded and rerussified again?. Its not like putin invades ex soviet states like georgia and ukraine is it. The "war on terror" happened after 9/11 when sunni islamic fundamentalist groups declared a terror war on west civilisation. Iraq and afghanistan was part of that war. Obama said it would take 20 years to win it and now 20 odd years later the war has been won as no major terror attacks on the west since afghan. Its called national security or the protection of its citizens. Putin did the same to the chechnyan rebels after beslan and other terror attacks on his civilians. Although more brutally. Zelenskys country is being invaded by a superior power for made up reasons so of course his country is the victim. Ukranian nazis?.Just 2% voted far right in ukraines last elections with no mps elected. Way less than other western democracies. Genocide of ethnic russians in donbas? The genocide that none of the UN monitors present those 8 years noticed. Or that putin never raised the issue at the UN during those 8 years either. Tho no doubt he was raising it with his state funded propagand tv etc to justify the invasion to his people. Imperialists invade and annex. Putin has done that in ukraine. Name one country that the US has annexed territory to enhance its "empire" . Mexico and texas. 1850s maybe but in an era of empires. Serbia has its own issues and must face the fact that convicted war criminal milosevic and others facilitated and acted out ethnic cleansing. They were bombed by NATO to end it and bringmilosevic to the negotiating table. Serbs died. So did other ethnicities. It did bring peace to the region which is what NATO was originally formed to do. Preventing militant nationalism from raising its ugly head again in europe after hitler in WW2 when eventually 52 million died worldwide. Atrocities were being committed on both sides, tho serbia having the largest military were targetted. Hopefully serbia can move on from all its troubled past and thrive peacefully whilst integrating into a more settled europe I noticed the other day somebody high up from kosavo is also to appear at the hague to answer war crime charges. Hopefully time will heal as it usually does eventually in all cases.
