Russia's "Little Brother" Gone Barbarically Berserk
Filed under: Russia
The Serbians thought about it for a little while: "Now, how can we prove to the world how reasonable and trustworthy we are," they asked themselves, "and how well we can be trusted to look after Kosovo if the world decides to refuse its declaration of independence?"
And after a while, it occurred to them: "Hey, I know!" they shouted all at once, in unison, as if they only had one brain between them. "We'll go on a berserk, bloodthirsty rampage against unarmed diplomats. We'll raid the U.S. Embassy and burn it to the ground! That will show how wrong the people of Kosovo were to fear us! That will show the NATO allies how reasonable we are, and how wrong they were to doubt us!"
And so they did. Wearing masks to show how proud they were of their actions, as shown above, they attacked the empty building by night, demonstrating not only their reasonableness but also their courage. Their argument is pretty darned convincing, isn't it?
One can only wonder how long it will be before their "big brothers" in Russia take the same valiant approach towards the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. If they need any advice, they can just phone up their good pals in Iran, who have plenty of experience with this sort of thing. The New York Times quoted Serbia's hard-line Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica declaring: "As long as we live, Kosovo is Serbia. We're not alone in our fight. President Putin is with us."
And so he is.
He stands alone, pushing his nation once again into a hopeless conflict with the united West. The BBC reports: "In New York, the 15-member UN Security Council issued a unanimous statement: 'The members of the Security Council condemn in the strongest terms the mob attacks against embassies in Belgrade, which have resulted in damage to embassy premises and have endangered diplomatic personnel.' White House spokesman Dana Perino employed less diplomatic language: 'Our embassy was attacked by thugs.'"
