Two questions: Where do/did you stand on the NATO war in Kosovo? And where is the evidence of "extreme violence"? Yes, some nasty weaponry was used, but so far the massacre seems to be fictive, as a small percentage of the purported bodies have been accounted for.
Call me skeptical, but when capitalist states claim to go to war for humanitarian purposes, I think it's generally a good idea to assume that their aims lie elsewhere. But again, maybe I'm just cynical.

Russia apparently has.
