We waged our wars like gentlemen. Balkan wars in the 90s were conducted with great consideration for everyone else. No global drama, no oil prices skyrocketing, no cancelled international flights, no gas shortages across half the planet. Airlines kept flying, gas stations stayed open, and the rest of the world mostly just carried on with their day.

I know who they are/were. But that doesn't really matter if you want to start an insurgency. The fact that they failed at the first hours of their insurgency, I'm quite convinced that Serbia let them rot there in order to weaken them/ knock their power away, and that Serbia doesn't really want to start a war (proxy or direct war) in/with Kosovo. That was an ideal chance to start an outright insurgency, at least in north Kosovo, and change the status quo, but they didn't. So I'm quite confident that we wouldn't be in each other's throat like my Albanian brother is suggesting.
