Moreover, as the meme indicates, their citizenry continues to feel as though the intervention was unwarranted. at least in large part. No state-level population is a monolith.
Why did the Soviet Union break up? Why did the Soviet Union collapse? An important reason is that the struggle in the ideological field is very fierce, the comprehensive denial of the history of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the denial of Lenin, the negation of Stalin, the historical nihilism, the ideological chaos, the Party organizations at all levels have almost no effect, the army is not under the leadership of the Party. Finally, the Soviet Communist Party’s largest party was scattered, and the Soviet Union’s largest socialist country fell apart.

Even ignoring the claim of a coup, please explain how you think the USSR collapsing in 1991 is responsible for the ethnic tensions in Yugoslavia that bubbled up years earlier
The USSR was just a Russian empire that pretended to be some international socialist brotherhood. Imperialism is married to the Russian identity and that didnt stop just because the Bolsheviks killed the royal family.
What? Are you an idiot? The USSR had its flaw but it did keep nationalisms at bay. Once it collapsed people became fascists again. What’s not to understand? Murikans were perfectly happy opening mc Donalds while Easterners were starving
By the threat of killing you if you disagreed with the USSR’s directives. Plus those satellite countries were meant to provide a buffer to the USSR if another world war was triggered. Better to fight a war in someone else’s home rather than your own. A hard lesson learned from WW2.
Putin is pretty much trying to re-establish that buffer while pillaging his neighbors of their wealth. It doesn’t seem to be working well for him.
To be fair, there was an attempted coup in the USSR during its collapse. It was by communist hardliners trying to prevent it collapsing, though, which doesn’t exactly scream “NATO” to me
I think, in this case, that’s what makes it a shitpost.
OOP asks a valid question, though. I don’t remember what Serbia did, either.
The actual answer is ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Kosovo, the former of which was the first post-WWII genocide legally recognised by the ICJ

They know what they did, they just want to do it again.
Who knew coup’ing the USSR to force them back into an ultranationalist shithole was gonna trigger wars
It was the death of Tito that threw Yugoslavia into chaos.
ah yes, the equally competent and incompetent natoids strike again.

Are you dumb? Switching from an internationalist ideological block to a bunch of ethno-state caused war. It’s not that hard to grasp.
Same thing with Russia and Ukraine. Yeltsin was in Washington the day before the end of gorbatchev

Oh, right, you’re just intentionally trolling. Cool.
Sorry your retarded jingoist brain can’t take the truth. Good luck sucking dat murikan dik

Those were pretty good directives. Just have a look at Germany. Not even 25 years after you ban the stasi they’re back to being Nazi.
Some people just can’t help it, like the germans or all those british offshoot like the yanks
Who couped the USSR? Their sister republics simply demanded more freedom and that caused the fragile and economically bankrupt system to collapse

Yeltsin was as much under american boot as trump is simping for the russian
Yeltsin was in Washington 3 days before he took power, retard
And supported by Britain and Germany until it became abundantly clear what was really going on there.
Thank you. I had forgotten about that horrible little bit of history.
It’s also a reason why there’s Bill Clinton statue in Prishtinë
