The Death of Yugoslavia

From Wikipedia:

"The Death of Yugoslavia (broadcast as Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation in the US)[2] is a BBC documentary series first broadcast in September and October 1995, and returning in June 1996. It is also the title of a BBC book by Allan Little and Laura Silber that accompanies the series. It chronicles the breakup of Yugoslavia, the subsequent wars and the signing of the final peace accords. It uses a combination of archived footage interspersed with interviews with most of the main players in the conflict, including Slobodan Milošević, Radovan Karadžić, Franjo Tuđman and Alija Izetbegović, as well as members of the international political community, who were active in the various peace initiatives."

I worked with a guy who was in Sarajevo during the 5 year Siege by The Serbs. Pretty sure he had PTSD...got me interesting in the history of this region and the conflict in the early 90s. Slobodan Milošević has some serious Trump vibes and how much these old white dudes look like the older people from the town I grew up in out side of Seattle kind of hits hard in 2025. Hope this country makes it out the mess we are in now but the idiots who want it the most seem to be totally ok with other people paying the price.

Trump is trying to start a war against the states that didn't vote for him and the idiots helping him have no idea what that means and don't care because it won't be them dying in the streets because Trump didn't want the people to know what he did at PDF Island with his best friend.

When they rebuilt they filled in all war damage as "a type of memorial in Sarajevo made from concrete scar caused by a mortar shell's explosion that was later filled with red resin' they called the Sarajevo Rose.
