Comparing the 1941 Bombing of Belgrade to 1999 Bombing of Belgrade

[poiuytrewq0987]

German Field Marshal von Kleist said during his trial after the war: "The air raid on Belgrade in 1941 had a primarily political-terrorist character and had nothing to do with the war. That air bombing was a matter of Hitler's vanity, his personal revenge." The bombing without a declaration of war become one of the prosecution's charges which led to the execution of the commander of the Luftwaffe formations involved

Clinton sure sounds a lot like Hitler now, I wonder why...

I know many Euros tend to see US political leaders as warmongers but comparing the draft dodging, war protesting, military hating, defense spending cutting William Jefferson Clinton to Der Fuehrer is just beyond retarded. How many more of these troll threads are we going to get?

[Odoacer]

Yes, because Clinton was so well-known for his personal vendetta against the Serbs.

the execution of the commander of the Luftwaffe formations involved

That's some BS, especially if it was Hitler himself who ordered the attack. It's not like this mid level Luftwaffe commander could just be like "naw, fuck off Hitler, we're gonna take the day off and go picnicking instead"

I believe they call that Nuremberg defense, "I was just following orders".
