Russia's "Little Brother" Gone Barbarically Berserk

Filed under: Russia

The Embassy of the United States of America, on Fire in Belgrade, Serbia

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.'"

YOU are nothing but a filthy brute. you american moron. you are the biggest barbarians the world has EVER seen. you are nothing but WAR CRIMINALS you will get your just verdict in the end. you war criminal WAR MONGERs.


Vaso says:

What a great unbiased article. Who was this lady? A million Serbs (not 200,000 as claimed by the AP) march through Belgrade and attend a Church service while a group of 1,000 rioters break off and attack an empty building. Wow, what a barbaric people. God forbid that anyone in the world demonstrate by burning American government property. How many times have Americans burned their own governments property? I didn't see Kim Zigfeld calling those Americans bloodthirsty barbarians.


AC says:

They even bombed Albanians' cars in Croatia:

nice kim says:

What would Americans do if China bombed the daylights out of us for 78 days to force us to give Southern California back to the freaking Mexicans? Am I happy our embassy is being burned? No. Is this a completely intelligible response to our shitting all over their country for the past decade? Absolutely, what the hell else do you expect them to do?

AUTHOR'S RESPONSE: Do you have some evidence of Americans ever attacking and setting fire to an Embassy on our soil? Don't you think it's just a bit bizarre to suggest that America is acting in a dastardly manner that deserves violence in response and then to justify the actions of other countries based on what you think America would do in their shoes? Are you suggesting that no foreign country has ever done anything outrageous to America (Iran, for instance)? Your remarks are mind-bogglingly ignorant and detached from reality. You are rationalizing insane, suicidal violence based on imperialism and pretend to be some sort of moralist. You might as well say: "What the hell else should America have done when Iran seized our Embassy except incinerate them with nuclear missiles?" Lame, totally lame. I'm embarrassed to have your comment on my blog.


Jason says:

It's the US that has gone "Beserk" as you say. Serbians should burn every last symbol of the countries that have humiliated them and broken the UN charter over Kosovo. What would you if the shoe was on you foot? I don't expect any intelligent of unbiased answers from this forum, as it is obvious to me that you are backed and brainwashed by Washington and their double standards.


kim, you worry me says:

it seems clear that you're descending ever more rapidly into serious mental instability.
no kim, americans haven't burnt down an embassy as of late but we did blow one up (in belgrade, incidentally!)
and kim, you half-wit, i was speaking in a hypothetical(a question, can you leave iran out of one conversation, your neocon freak?)

i was suggesting that we "imgagine" what americans would do to a country's embassy if that country had bombed us for almost 3 straight months to compell us to relinquish control over part of our national territory.

given that we started a war in iraq based on speculation and fear, i can imagine that we would do a hell of a lot more than burn an embassy down (or at least try to)

Duki says:

publisher of the article, you will se very soon, that all these things that america does will backfire, and you will regret that you tried to dictate the world. Dont say we are barbaric people, you dont even know these albanians and what they want so shut up. America freakin assinated presidents of the countrie that didnt want to privatize oil companies, if u didn t know, and I would say that that is barbaric, you stupid *uck


B says:

I think 'Home Depot's" stock just went up, there is an upside to 'barbaric behavior'


Artfldgr says:

while a group of 1,000 rioters break off and attack an empty building

Good point. Except that they left a body behind.

Do you have some evidence of Americans ever attacking and setting fire to an Embassy on our soil?

The only two incidents I can remember in modern times was not an embassy but the U.N. Recently a Korean guy shot a gun in the air after climbing a fence and the bullet kind of went into the building. No one was hurt. And I think there was an incident with a rocket launcher from the river in the 60s by leftists.

The rest of your points are not in contention.

What would you if the shoe was on you foot?

Some do not get into the situations where such questions even rate an iota of validity.

i was suggesting that we "imgagine" what americans would do to a country's embassy if that country had bombed us for almost 3 straight months to compell us to relinquish control over part of our national territory.

Not much. The US didn’t do anything to any embassy no matter what has happened on local or other soil. The Japanese killed a family in the pacific northwest with some balloon bombs, we didn’t destroy the Japanese embassy. We didn’t do it when they were bombing pearl harbor, or tried to take midway.

I would say that those fit EXACTLY your description. Bombing of American territories for months to get us to relinquish control over part of our national (and other national) territories. Among other things.

If I remember how things turned out, the Japanese are an economic power house with one of the most prosperous economies, on very little land, with almost no natural resources, and have GDP how many times larger than Russia?

We showed them didn’t we?

Now they make cool stuff we want to buy. Oh, the horror of it.

You were saying what about what Americans would do if someone bombed them?


Jauhara Haram Uncovered Female says:

I wonder if the outrage just exploded after endless burnings of Christian churches and murders of Kosovo Serbian Christians by Albanian Muslims...events that have yet to be covered by any western media outlet. All we ever heard about


Aris Katsaris says:

I'd like to remind the gentle commentators here that it was the Serbs who first went separatist on Bosnian soil, ethnically cleansing and bombing and killing, in a way that was a hundred times more violent than what the United States did in supporting Kosovo's independence. Compare the number of casualties of the Bosnian war, with the number of casualties in the American bombings of Serbia -- you'll get a ratio that's atleast hundredfold.

Through the independence of Kosovo, the Serbs got got just a tiny taste of their own medicine. So, no sympathy from me for all their territorial whining -- unless they're also condemning the existence of the Republika Srpska they tore away from Bosnia.


Reality Check says:

I can't believe i'm reading this! My god the serbs are the biggest losers in all of history. They could have had it all, eu membership, nato membership, kosovo , etc.. All they had to do was allow crotia and bosnia to succede peacefully like slovenia. Instead they decided to pull a hitler, now they just suck. Their economy is the second worse in all of europe, their health care system has colapsed, and their army is just a few rape squads. The serbs shouldn't be worrying about kosovo, they should be more worried about how many of their daughters they have to send abroad to brothels fro remits.

As far the russians are concerned, STFU you lost the cold war. We let you exist by the grace of god and that's about all. Instead of griping about how we choose to run the world we won, go force more of your daughters to become XXX webcam models. Listen to m russia, instead of being a cheer section for another group of losers start losing sleep about how we're going to liberate your restive minorities. No doubt your treating some group of non ruskies poorly, who knows they might be sitting on an oil field ,gas field or pipeline route.

P.S. stop helping the iranians with their nuclear program or we'll liberate siberia just like we did to alsaka.

elmer says:

I did not think it was possible, but the Serbs have actually made the rooskies look good, by comparison.

"Putin is with us."

I don't think I saw Putin in the streets there in Belgrade.

Putin is safe in the Kremlin, counting his money, and laughing up his sleeve.


bolt28 says:

Lets not forget about Serbia's favorite son, Gavrilo Princip. Princip was the Serbian who assasinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand(not just a rock band) in 1914. This set off a chain of events that lead to a little conflict called World War I. Throw in their siding with the Nazis in WW II(why are the white Africans...errr Russians supporting them again?) and their "ethnic cleansing" campaign of the 1990's and they've put together quite a resume. Hard to imagine a little country of 10 million could cause so much disruption in the world, but trouble is there number one export. The world(not just America) has had enough of the Serbs. We have drawn a line in the sand w/ Serbia(and White Africa) vs. the world. As expected the Serbians reacted with violence. I say let them burn all the Mcdonalds they want, and Burger Kings too. Once they've gutted what little infrastructure they have left, maybe Kosovo will allow them to become part of it. Down with Serbia, the world has had enough.


Sweeper says:

Looks like even Americans are cheering on the burning of the US Embassy:
http://www.exile.ru/blog/detail.php?BLOG_ID=17108&AUTHOR_ID=

So it seems that not only Serbs are so crazy, maybe they're actually correct?


Artfldgr says:

nah, the americans of the left are very noisy and they hate their own country.

they think that totalitarianism is cool, and that the state will get the other guy for them, and they are not the other guy themselves.


right or wrong, succession has been an act that has gone to the very origination of societies and borders. as long as they exist, and as long as there are old countries inside other countries, there will be new countries trying to break out.

the reason fox didnt know and cnn didnt know is that in this situation, their reading of the ideology is conflicted and since the ideology is dirt, they are sitting in cognitive dissonance not knowing which way to go.

do you cheer the serbs for hitting the embasy, which puts down the revolution (cause they just love all revolutions it seems)...

or do you cheer the revolutionaries declaring their freedom from opression, yada yada, which then wouldnt let you revel in the attack on the hated self.

better pretend its like wag the dog, and maybe it will be over before they have to cover it.

similar things happened around wwii with the cpusa. they had to reverse themselves a few times after that stalin hitler pact thing.

the other reason is that they are helping obama, and so news of such things like an embassy thing sinking in, people are going to prefer the guy that has experience with things called enemies, not the guy that presents the images that thinks if you hug enemies they will love you too.


so they are trying to report, but not draw attention to it since they are having enough problems getting results from the public since they are now more fractured in their entertainments



Adam says:

Screw the maniac extremest serbs. They give christains a bad name world wide anyway. They are as barbaric as when they were in teh middle ages.

Instead of going nuts now maybe they should have thought of it long and hard when the were genociding the helpless albanian muslims in the heart of europe in the 20th century. What a vile and barbaric race. And they look like complete idiots on TV rioting looting and burning embasies and police stations at the border lol losers

Long live a free and democratic Kosovo in the heart of europe. It's about time the United States had a majority muslim nation in the heart of europe as an alie.

Now go and cry to your "big brother" dictator Putin. Just dont go ape again and try to harm Kosovars or else were gonna bomb you back to the stone ages like you deserve anyway.


adam, you're a fool says:

"Long live a free and democratic Kosovo in the heart of europe. It's about time the United States had a majority muslim nation in the heart of europe as an alie."

right, we need a cancerous, vile, barbaric (yeah, how about that word in this usage kim!) little muslim failed state to accomplish what? to show the rest of europe what they will look like in fifty years unless their fertility rates pick up or they learn how to control their borders?

please, the albanians make the russians look as efficient as the germans and as civilized and peaceful as the norwegians.

spare me the nausia with all this talk of kosovo and freedom and happines , we all should have cheered the serbs on when they were cleaning house in kosovo.

fifty years from now, when europe is deep in a nightmare of islamicism , it will regret giving this little pauper state its "independence" (the usage of which in this context is totally bogus as kosovo is, and has been, bought and paid for by NATO)

what is left of the christian west will rue the day it rewarded muslim terrorism and procreation with a substantial territorial concession; this is only the beginning of a long, scary, tale


Artfldgr says:

well true to what i said, the tanks are taking positions.

now we see whether they can hold on to it.

as for comments as to them being muslim, well, thats all fine. whats wrong with that?

i am familiar with wahabists, and sharia law, and dhimmi... so i am not ignorant, but i also am for self determination - if they want it bad enough to go to the mat for it themselves. which they are.

not all muslims are radicals or support them. not all catholics refuse to use rubbers and birth control, and not all jews eat kosher.

yes this makes things harder, but nothing worth having is easy.

personally our system isnt mean enough to take care of the bad eggs till the bad eggs go wackaloon on us, and even then. only the long run will tell us the right choice.

the west was vindicated in their treatment of japan. unlike estonians to russia, japanese to american relationships are a lot better. mostly because despite some very immoral common behavior, most didnt respond the same, and we didnt try to make them evil in themselves. like the statments here with the muslims

and the commentary on russian women being XXX stars is really uncalled for. its from someone who probably never hit bottom so much that they thought their best option was to degrade themselves and do that. meanwhile, unlike the russian women your mouthing off on, american women dont need that, and they come to xxx to be 'stars' (then some end up blowing their heads off when they figure out what they did)

i dont know... but the ones driven by circumstance have a different tale than the one that hs no morals and is bored and decided that the adventure of an easy life in porn is the way to go.

i am american, but i will not stand idly by and watch someone sully others when their own home is crapped over too. you know, the old, let the one who is clean cast the first stone..

anyway... its not going to be pleasant in kosovo. lets see if they want what they wnat bad enough to hold onto it and not let go.

Why can't the Serbs and Albanians just get along?


TO adam, you're a fool says: says:

lol what an idoit you are. Hey is this realy that hate mongering LUNATIC John Hagee in disguise?? IN a perfect world hate mongering figures such as him would be arrested and thrown in jail.

Yeah, real smart Bud, what did you say anyway? The Serbs should have been allowed to clean house in the 90's? What an extremist tool you are.

Listen up bud, the time of you exremist rightists islamophobe lunatics from Bill O’Reilly to the neo-conservatives running and manipulating the entire nation from Fox TV to the oval office in THE USA is about to come to an abrupt I am afraid.

GO BARACK OBAMA! AMERICA NEEDS YOUR SALVATION!


huh? says:

adam, you're a fool says:

"what is left of the christian west will rue the day it rewarded muslim terrorism and procreation with a substantial territorial concession; this is only the beginning of a long, scary, tale"

Are you an idiot or just a hate mongering neo-nazi??

Dude people of Kosovo are no different from any other peoples of europe, america, canada, australia, britian, Holland, Denmark etc etc

1) they are white
2) they drink and fk and party just as much as anyone in the west
3) they are HARDLY the "terrorists" you proclaim them to be

What a fool.

I mean have you seen how they were partying on the streets passing around the beer and champagne?? lol

I am sure they in Saudi Arabia pass the champagne up in the streets. Never mind the totaly hot girls in the streets. Damn Kosovar girls are hot.


D. Sergio says:

Dear all,

in case some evidence is needed, go and see what the Albanians did to the Serbs in Srebrenica in 1992.
http://www.serbianna.com/features/srebrenica/warning.shtml


heh says:

Heh according to a website called www.SERBIANNA.com??? pretty impartial I would say kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Everyone knows it was the Serbs doing the ethnic "clensing" of the extreme MINORITY muslims. If that wasn't enough Russia was even packing then in that regard.


Hey Sergio says:

Who had the tanks and employing the Serbiam NATIONAL army on a punch of civilians and some light armed guirillas???

It was the Serbs using a modern army of the country using against their minority albanian countrymate.

As the Irish priminister the other day said, when Melosovich and his thugs were buchering these alabnians and muslims you knew this was coming one day.

"The bitter legacy of the killings of thousands of civilians in Kosovo and the ethnic cleansing of many more has effectively ruled out any restoration of Serbian dominion in Kosovo." Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern


elmer says:

Why can't the Serbs and the Albanians get along?

Mother Theresa was ethnically Albanian - but Catholic, not muslim.

Why can't the Serbs and the Albanians just get along?


To D. Sergio says:

serbianna.com riiiiight :)


Estland says:

I wonder if Serbia should be renamed. They lost like 20% of their territory. It now looks like a different country to me.


oh well says:

for a blog and readers who are so willing to heap filth upon the 'barbaric' russians, it's equal parts sickening and hilarious to see the albanians, who have to be the most incompetent and disgusting people in the world, turned into heroes

Then click on the slide show "Kosovo's Uncertain Future"

There are pictures of Mitrovica about half-way through the slides.

One part is Serbian, one part Albanian.

There is a bridge dividing the 2 areas.

One does not dare to cross the bridge to the other side.

Why can't the Serbs and Albanians get along?

Have they ever tried meeting in the middle of the bridge to break some bread, rather than breaking each other's bones?


elmer, you're a genius says:

elmer, your profundity continues to amaze


elmer says:

So it's better to live in a city where you have to fear for your life?

It's better for people to be divided, and only live in one half of the city?

Why can't the Serbs and the Albanians get along?

The first thing that happened when the sovok union fell apart - the Serbs and Croatians started fighting each other.

Why can't the Serbs and Albanians get along?

Excerpt - The Cellist of Sarajevo

On May 27th, 1992, a bakery in Sarajevo which happened to have a supply of flour was making bread and distributing it to the starving, war-shattered people. At 4 PM a long line stretched into the street. Suddenly, a shell fell directly into the middle of the line, killing 22 people outright and splattering blood and gore over the entire area.


A hundred yards away lived a 37-year-old man named Vedran Smailovic. Before the war he had been the principal cellist of the Sarajevo Opera Company - a distinguished and civilized job, no doubt. When he saw the massacre outside his window, he was pushed beyond his capacity to endure any more. Driven by his anguish, he decided to take action, and so he did the only thing he could do. He made music. Every day thereafter, at 4 PM precisely, Mr. Smailovic would put on his full formal concert attire and walk out of his apartment into the midst of the battle raging around him. He would place a little camp stool in the middle of the bomb craters and play a concert to the abandoned streets, while bombs dropped and bullets flew all around him. Day after day he made his unimaginably courageous stand for human dignity, for civilization, for compassion, and for peace. As though protected by a divine shield, he was never hurt, though his darkest hour came when, taking a little walk to stretch his legs, his cello was shelled and destroyed where he had been sitting.


The news wires picked up the story of this extraordinary man, sitting in his white tie and tails on a camp stool in the center of a raging, hellish war zone - playing his cello to the empty air. The composer David Wilde was so moved by the report the he wrote the piece which Yo Yo Ma played for us that evening.


Yo Yo sat down quietly on his little stool in his white tie and tails, and began. Quietly, almost imperceptibly, the music started, creating a shadowy, empty universe pervaded by the sense of death. Slowly, it built and grew into an agonized, screaming, slashing furor which gradually subsided back into a desolate death rattle - fading seamlessly back into silence.


When he finished, he remained bent over his cello, bow still resting on the strings. No one moved - we scarcely dared to breathe.We all felt that we had just witnessed that horrible scene ourselves. After a long period of absolute silence, Yo Yo slowly straightened in his chair, looked into the audience and raised his hand. He beckoned someone to come to the stage - and we realized it was him - the cellist of Sarajevo himself! He rose from his seat and headed down the aisle as Yo Yo came off the stage and headed up the aisle to meet him. With arms flung wide, they met each other in a passionate embrace right at my chair. I simply couldn't believe what was happening.


At that point, everyone in the hall leaped to his feet in a chaotic emotional frenzy, clapping, weeping, shouting, embracing, cheering. It was deafening and overwhelming, and in the center of it all stood these two men, still hugging, both crying. Yo Yo Ma, the suave, elegant prince of classical music worldwide, flawless in appearance and performance. And Vedran Smailovic, who had just escaped from Sarajevo, dressed in a tattered and stained leather motorcycle suit with fringe on the arms. His wild long hair and huge mustache framed a face that looked 80 years old - creased with pain and wet with so many tears. And this was the first time he had heard the piece. I stared at them, wanting to remember every single detail, so that one day I could describe it to my son, and say, "I was there!"

Belgrade smash 'n' grab becomes YouTube smash hit
Fri Feb 22, 2008 11:00am EST

Featured Broker sponsored link"Shame on you," was the general message of hundreds of comments about the women's behavior, though most used unrepeatable vocabulary.

The video was entitled "Swapping Kosovo for a pair of sneakers" and the person who posted it, "Gvantanamo," gave a description:

"Belgrade bimbos exploit unrest to steal from smashed-up boutiques without the slightest shame. They are so greedy they even have to carry things in their teeth."

The next day text-message jokes about the video and the looting swept around Serbia.

"Swap you 11 left Nikes for 11 left Reeboks," read one.
