http://europe.newsweek.com/donald-trump-apologises-serbia-yugoslavia-bombing-509417Trump called military intervention under Bill Clinton to stop genocide a "big mistake.
"The bombing of Serbs, who were our allies in both world wars, was a big mistake, Trump told the Serbian weekly magazine Nedeljnik for an article published on its website Thursday. Serbians are very good people. Unfortunately, the Clinton administration caused them a lot of harm, but also throughout the Balkans, which they made a mess out of."
The interview was conducted via email correspondence with a Trump campaign senior adviser, Suzanne Ryder Jaworowski, who is also campaign manager for the state of Indiana, Nedeljnik's managing editor, Marko Prelevic, told Newsweek.

Putin and crew of course sided with their buddy Milosevic during the whole damn escapade. This is a very weird move.

is that Paul Manafort, or maybe Manafort and a few others, are whispering these things in his ear from somebody high up in Russia.

funding and training far right nationalist parties in Europe. This is just another example of his plan.
Hungary: Jobbik
Greece: Golden Dawn
France: Marine La Pen
and others.

i don't see this as a coherent part of the campaign
he's come way the fuck unglued and he's lashing out in every direction at once
