I don't even know how to respond to historical revisionism of such brazen unreality level. You seriously just fucking ignored decade of NATO destroying Yugoslavia because BE, whose open nonsense against AES is well know, said so.

You can ignore a 30 minute video full of receipts and substitute in your own reality after adhomming the author but you are still completely unable to explain how the NATO weapons blockade actually favored the Bosnians. In any case we're done with this discussion you clearly have nothing.

Receipts for what, half of former Yugoslavia ethnically cleansed from Serbs under the NATO umbrella? Don't shift the goalpost from your absurd claim that everything NATO did favoured the Serbs:

The "Republic Srbpska" went from 55% Serbs to 90% Serbs by genociding Bosnians

Nobody denied this genocide, but you apparently deny all the others in Yugoslavia, just as US propaganda want.

It's a hyperbole of course there are some things which favored the Bosnians but likewise you can have Zionists saying NATO is pro-Palestine because NATO did a pro-Palestine thing once.

The process and end result was heavily Serb favored by NATO. The casualty statistics as BE mentions are also just telling by themselves: 83% of Bosnians killed were civilians. But β€œonly” 10% of Serbs killed were civilians. This by itself basically proves that Bosnians did commit massacres on civilians but it wasn’t top-down policy like it was for the Serbs.
