Let's not forget that the US put arms embargos on Croatia and Bosnia during the Yugoslav wars. While Serbs took over the majority of JNA arms and gear. Also don't forgot the part where the Bosnian army got to Banja Luka and then NATO threatened to bomb them if they went further.

Serb nationalists like to pull the victim card when talking about the bombing of Belgrade but conveniently omit that both Croatia and Bosnia were threatened to stop advancing, and they did because they did not in fact want to fuck around and find out

Not trying to defend Serb nationalists, but bombing of Beograd was a different war. That was 1999 Kosovo.
