Here is one simple trick US President Donald Trump could pull right now to bolster the rules-based world order, decisively derail Russian criticism of US foreign policy, and stick it to his domestic critics in the process. All Trump has to do is
withdraw the US recognition of 'Kosovo', the fake state established as a result of an illegal occupation, following a war that began exactly 20 years ago.
Confused? Unaware? Let me explain. Claiming the government of what was then Yugoslavia was conducting a genocidal campaign against ethnic Albanians in its province of Kosovo (it wasn't),
President Bill Clinton launched what would become a 78-day NATO air campaign to "end human rights abuses" there. What it actually did was displace hundreds of thousands of people - including ethnic Albanians, who even got bombed by NATO on occasion -
and turn the province into a NATO protectorate. In 2008, the "Kosovians" declared independence, and have been recognized by around half the UN since then. The other half includes Russia, China, India and - thus far, anyway - Serbia.
But wait, why un-recognize it, then? Wouldn't that be siding with "adversaries"? Proof of "collusion" with the Kremlin? In a word, no.
Correcting this historic mistake would actually disarm the critics of Washington, who currently - and rightly so - point out the US hypocrisy, double standards and selective reasoning.
Comment: Once the sleeping masses wake up to realize their internet is completely and utterly broken, it's hard to imagine the backlash that's in store for these fascist EU bureaucrats. It's likely their only saving grace at this point is that most people are essentially clueless about the loss of freedom they've just suffered.
