On a day when the Hokies lose their home opener, it’s nice to at least have a new plaidcast update on Russia. Never understood the Kosovo fighting when it was going on, happy to have a better handle on that.
With the US election around the corner, it’d be interesting to hear about how things in the world might change based on each of the 2 candidates.

I have to say that was one of my favorite video blogs so far - keep up the great work!! I was browsing CNN earlier today and saw a headline that read “Camouflaged Putin goes tiger shooting” and all I could think was “that’s our boy Putin”.

So let me get this straight - if you illegally fart in Moscow, then you’ll get tranqed by Putin..?

am glad you finally summarized all of the events…especially how important Kosovo is. I think you forgot one major ting to mention….U.S. defense systems in kosovo, poland, czech rep…and maybe tomorrow Ukraine. That’s one of the main reasons why the US supports Kosovo.
a few errors:
Yugoslava and USSR were never buddies. Tito said f-u stalin back in 1948 and was getting ready for a war if the russians attacked….they never did. He also said no thank you to the Marshall plan. He ended up developing the so called “3rd world countries”…with the US being the 1st world and USSR and it’s buddies the 2nd world….yugoslavia, egypt, and india made the 3rd world…independent of the US and USSR.
the collapse of Yugoslavia started in kosovo 1989 when serbs had rallys and wanting the albanians out….
the west watched genocide in bosnia 1992-1996….and made sure it didnt happen again infront of their eyes….one of the main reasons why Billy C. attacked serbia.

I was in Serbia two years ago and there are still remnants of air-strikes; huge gaping holes in the sides of buildings and such. The people are very nice to Americans though despite all that. Seems much like a double standard in Russia’s eyes…if the west can do it then so can we.

At Vanja…..
I hope when you say that Yugoslavia is a third world country you don’t mean that they were poor. Yugoslavia was a flourishing country which collapsed because of Ultra-Nationalism. Trust me I am from there.
Also your claim about Billy C attacking Serbia because of genocide is totally false. THE ONLY REASON HE BOMBED SERBIA WAS TO KEEP THE MEDIA AWAY FROM HIS SEX SCANDAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I know…pretty sad right?
At Aaron….
How is it a double standard. I applaud Russia for what they did. Are you saying that the West can grant “independence” to countries but Russia cannot?
