NATO’s War of Aggression against Yugoslavia

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

Summary:

The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began on March 24th and ended on June 10th, 1999. It lasted 78 days.

According to various sources, up to 2,500 inhabitants of Yugoslavia lost their lives during the operation.

The official reason for the start of the operation was, allegedly, the protection of the Albanian population of Kosovo.

That is how the West interpreted the operations of the Serbian police and the military against the terrorist organization “Kosovo Liberation Army”, which controlled almost 40% of the Serbian province’s territory and violently fought against “Serbian occupiers”.

NATO assured the public that it would only target military facilities.

Yet, the result of the aggression was: 25,000 destroyed homes, 470 destroyed kilometers of roads, 595 destroyed kilometers of railway and 38 destroyed bridges.

Then: 14 damaged airports, nearly 40 damaged hospitals and clinics, almost a 100 damaged schools and kindergartens, and 176 damaged cultural monuments.

In total, 38% of bombed buildings were actually civilian.

Loses:

The overall damage is estimated to be from 30 to 100 billion dollars.

It is believed that between 1,200 and 2,500 people were killed and 6,000 people were injured.

In total, there were 2,300 air strikes on 995 buildings across the country.

About 420,000 bombs were thrown on Serbia, including those filled with depleted uranium.

The symbol of suffering of the Serbian people was the murdered three years old Milica Rakić. The house where she lived with her parents was hit by a NATO bomb.

Jamie Shea, the secretary of the Alliance’s media, called the civilians who were murdered during the NATO bombing “collateral damage”.

Epilogue:

Regardless of the foreseen disarmament of KLA terrorists, Kosovo formed its defense corps, the security forces, and ultimately an army in 2018.

Regardless of the Resolution 1244 foreseeing the territorial integrity of Yugoslavia, Kosovo still declared “independence” in 2008 with the support of a number of members of the international community.

After the arrival of international forces on Kosovo, more than 200,000 Serbs and other non-Albanian people has left the province.

Those 78 days of fear, violence, terror and destruction mustn’t ever be forgotten.

Maaaan i already watched both of those lit films and yes, i kinda agree with anon...lol😂 but both still, looks interesting! 🌟

I hope I don’t get kicked out of the Space Fandom for saying this (hence why it’s on anon), but…I thought The Spacewalker/Время Первых was…a LOT better than Gagarin: First In Space. There I said it.

I hope I don’t get kicked out of space Tumblr for saying this, but I... haven’t seen either of these. I tried to watch Gagarin: First In Space but I got interrupted by something and just never went back to it. Oops. :(

Your blog was hacked: what to do?

If you see weird pics of ladies with dubious links posted on your blog out of the blue, here’s a step by step way of stopping this and preventing it from happening again that I think might work.

Important : this only works if you can still access your blog!

Changing your password is important, but it won’t do you any good if your hacker still has an opened session on your blog and can still access it. So the first thing you wanna do is close your hacker’s session.

For that you need to go in your blog’s settings:

On the new page opened, scroll all the way down. There, you can see something called “Active Sessions“. The first and oldest one (”current session” in green) should be yours, the new one should be the hacker’s session. To close your hacker’s session, click the gray X next to it.

Now that their session is closed, they can’t access your blog anymore unless they enter the password again.

So don’t lose time, go all the way back up and change your password immediately. Make also sure your hacker didn’t change your email address.

Now you should be safe from your hacker. But it won’t prevent you from getting hacked again.

If you really want to be safe from hackers, you should turn on the “Two-factor authentification” option (on the same page).

It requires you to enter your phone number, which is a bummer. But if it’s turned on, everytime you wanna log on (so not if your session is already opened, but only if you log off and try to log on again), it will send a code on your phone that you’ll have to enter (in addition to having a password).

That way if someone tries to hack you again, even if they get your password right, they won’t be able to enter your blog without having that code.

There it is. I hope it will help some of you, since I see more and more people noticing blogs being hacked

MAN Y E S S
