Letter: Russia's Nato fears
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Stuart Russell misses the main point of difference between Kosovo and the Holocaust (letter 28 April). We shan't know till later whether the reported acts of rape, mass murder, theft and so on were the "policies" of Milosevic, and ordered by him, or whether they are barbaric and intemperate savageries by troops and their leaders on the ground, at their own initiative, and - though it may be unpopular to say so - as a vile response to the Nato attacks.
Building gas chambers and death camps and having an overt policy of racial "purification" removes all ambiguity as to where the criminality lies.
By promoting a boo-and-hiss attitude to Milosevic himself Nato's leaders and spokesmen may be laying the ground for the real perpetrators of monstrosity (KLA and Serbian obsessives) finally to go unpunished.
