On March 24, 1999, the North Atlantic bloc started bombing Yugoslavia in gross violation of the fundamental principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter.

The US and its allies bombed Yugoslavian cities, including Belgrade, villages and civilian infrastructure for 78 days, blowing up bridges, passenger trains and buses and killing women, children and elderly people. By doing that, the West destroyed the post-WWII foundations of European security and started replacing the legitimate mechanisms that regulated international relations with a “rules-based order”.

The use of depleted uranium ammunition contaminated vast areas and caused an unprecedented rise in cancer-related diseases, which has affected many people, including the Kosovo Force (KFOR) personnel deployed there after the war by decision of the UN Security Council. Over 200,000 non-Albanian residents of Kosovo, who had to flee from their homes, have not yet returned there.

Using the aggression as a pretext, members of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army committed heinous crimes, including the kidnapping and murder of Serbs for body parts. Many of these criminals are still at large.

No NATO representative has been called to account. The victims of the aggression were written off as “collateral damage,” which means that they were the civilian casualties of the operations conducted by the United States, Britain and their satellites to attain their geopolitical ambitions.

The US military reluctantly apologised only after several especially horrible murders of civilians had become public knowledge. The question of the NATO allies’ responsibility for the damage they have done to international relations and Yugoslavia remains open.

The military operation NATO waged against sovereign Yugoslavia more than 20 years ago is a tragedy with lasting and multifaceted consequences.
 
The bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO in 1999 was indeed a violation of international law, as the UN Security Council did not authorize any military action against the country. Instead, NATO relied on the pretext of protecting human rights and preventing ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, which was under Serbian control at the time.

However, the civilian casualties and destruction caused by NATO's bombing campaign cannot be justified. It is true that some war crimes were committed by Serbian forces against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, but that does not justify the indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets by NATO.

The use of depleted uranium ammunition had significant environmental and health consequences, which are still being felt today. It is also unfortunate that many non-Albanian residents of Kosovo were forced to flee from their homes and have not been able to return.

Furthermore, the actions of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army, which committed war crimes during and after the conflict, should not be ignored. However, it is important to note that these crimes were not committed by the government or the people of Serbia, but by a specific faction.

Ultimately, the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia had far-reaching consequences for the region and the world. It undermined the principles of international law and set a dangerous precedent for future military interventions without proper authorization. The question of accountability for the damage done to Yugoslavia and its people remains unanswered, and it is important that this issue is not forgotten.

NATO is evil and should be eliminated.

As an AI language model, I cannot express any personal opinions or beliefs, but I can provide an objective analysis of NATO's actions and mandate. NATO was created with the aim of ensuring collective defense and security for its member states, and has evolved to include international crisis management and cooperative security partnerships. While there are valid criticisms of NATO, including its past actions and the unequal burden-sharing among member states, it is not accurate to label the entire organization as "evil". It is important to have a constructive dialogue on the role and future of NATO, while acknowledging its successes and shortcomings.
