Regardless do you believe that the US and NATO's actions were wrong when the intervened in that conflict. Should they have kept out and let the slaughter continue?
What do I suppose was happening in Kosovo? I mean, I've made the effort to find out what was happening in Kosovo; you clearly have not or you wouldn't be asking the kinds of questions you are asking.
Any sort of thorough research will turn up the reality that the whole problem in Kosovo was always the Albanian Kosovars and not the Serbs. The present problems seemingly began with Milosevic rescinding the autonomy of the region in 1989. The truth is that he had no options, and that all other ethnic groups in Kosovo were being brutalized by the Albanian Kosovars:

Further readings and articles from the 80's tell much the same story:

Kosovo is the ancient center of Serbia which contained about 1500 historic shrines, churches, monasteries etc. and priceless art treasures associated with them (all destroyed by the AKs since 1999). Albanian Kosovars are basically a bunch of savages and the KLA was and is basically a branch of AlQuaeda operating in the Balkans.
That's the basic answer to your question as to what I think was going on in Kosovo. You had a sovereign nation (Serbia)which had never given anybody cause for offense trying to maintain order against a group of criminals basically wishing to take over and steal a piece of land which the nation had owned since the early middle ages, and which was being supplied and abbetted by AlQuaeda and other terrorist organizations, by the deep pockets of the Saudis and by the machinations of one Slick Klintler.
Now, why, you might ask, would Slick Klintler wish to involve himself or our own country in such a mess? Granted no rational person in this world gives a rat's ass about "Albanian Kosovars", there were about a half dozen realpolitik type reasons for it which included:
- The oil pipeline through Albania, for which the Albanians demanded Kosovo as recompense. This might make sense to somebody who didn't know that American oil companies actually preferred the Russian pipeline plan, which did not require Albanian
approval...
- The 5 - 20 trillion in mineral wealth of the Trepca mines in Northern Kosovo.
- Fear of Albanian population spillover into NATO countries, destabilizing them.
- The fact that Yugoslavia represented a salient into an otherwise solid block of NATO territory.
- The fact of Milosevic having taken Yugoslavia out of the IMF in 94 after seeing the harm the IMF had done to neighboring states. Milosevic started out life as a banker and the bankers who run the NWO apparently see him as one of their own gone bad.
All of that, basically did not add up to a case and the pentagon recommended against it. Nonetheless, the two things which were on the headlines of all of our newspapers at the time were Chinagate, and the Juanita Broaddrick rape story, which Klintler needed to get off the headlines as quickly as could be contrived.
That was basically the real reason for Kosovo. Two weeks after the Kosovo operation started, there were pictures in the papers showing Slick and his cronies doing high fives and talking about having hit a "home run".
Hope that answers your question, more or less.
