I don't think there's any relation to the war in Ukraine. There just isn't really a mechanism for one to influence the other.


Yes there is. Western and EU attention will pivot to Kosovo. This could undermine the focus and resolve the of the west with Ukraine.


Distracting NATO with a second conflict doesn't influence the first? Come on.


NATO could send Serbia back to the Stone Age with their pinky finger. If anything, a second military conflict in Eastern Europe might further increase support and military budget in NATO countries.


> NATO could send Serbia back to the Stone Age with their pinky finger.

Yes, nuclear genocide is indeed quick, but not super viable. Even the limited air strikes in 1999 took months, and pretending it wouldn't all be a diplomatic and military distraction is just silly.


Nobody said anything about nukes.


"NATO could send Serbia back to the Stone Age with their pinky finger" isn't true without nukes.

If you don't use nukes, it's at least months of airstrikes. A ground operation would be even slower, and bloodier.
