"Handing
them over" is exactly the same as doing nothing. "Handing them over"
sounds much more omnious, it implies malevolence on part of the
peacekeepers but that obscures the greater picture.
The
peacekeepers were told the refugees will be handled ok, and more
importantly, if the peacekeepers would have refused the kind request of
Serbs to hand over the refugees, they would have been killed too. I seem
to recall something about unwillingness of NATO to send them air cover,
but I doubt they could have held out against the entire Serb
battlegroup even if they wanted to.
The only difference they
would have made if they resisted (which they had no mandate for,
remember), was that they would be killed alongside with civilians.
Again,
while Western soldiers were faced with this horrible, terrifying choice
in which they were damned no matter their decision, the Russians
actually lended Serbs their diplomatic support. Yet while we're exposed
to ton of anti-west propaganda every day and told to pour ash on our
heads, and while people masturbate over images of Putin, western
soldiers were the only ones who actually did even attempt to keep those
people safe, however ineffectually they might have went on about it. |
