、 ロシアが核攻撃に踏み切ったらアメリカはどこに報復するか？ 米政権内で行われていた机上演習の衝撃的な中身 5/2(月)
米国がロシアの「エスカレーション抑止」概念に強い懸念を示し、対策を検討していたこと、一部とは言え「核の傘」の前提条件に反して核兵器による報復を行わない選択肢があったこと、そして大国間の核の応酬を避けるために、報復の対象として一方の同盟国が、核攻撃の目標となり得ることだった。またこうした軍事想定は、米政権内で極秘裏に行われ、ジャーナリストの調査報道がなければ、われわれ日本人はあずかり知らないままだったろう。
なるほどねえ。
Despite precautions, including the use of a higher percentage of precision-guided munitions than in any other major conflict in history, civilian casualties occurred. Human Rights Watch has conducted a thorough investigation of civilian deaths as a result of NATO action. On the basis of this investigation, Human Rights Watch has found that there were ninety separate incidents involving civilian deaths during the seventy-eight day bombing campaign. Some 500 Yugoslav civilians are known to have died in these incidents.
Syria and Lessons Unlearned from the U.S./NATO Bombing of Kosovo
By Jeremy R. Hammond | Sep 6, 2013 | Editorial, Europe, Middle East, US
The bombing was “illegal” because it met neither of the only two conditions under which the use of force is considered legal under international law. Yet it was nevertheless paradoxically deemed “legitimate” on the grounds that it was a “humanitarian” intervention executed to protect civilians on the ground and put an end to the ethnic cleansing of ethnic Albanians.
Apart from the inherent self-contradiction of the “illegal but legitimate” doctrine, this standard official narrative of the U.S./Kosovo bombing is a fiction.
The truth of the matter is that the bombing served not to mitigate but to escalate the violence on the ground in the former Yugoslavia, resulting in a higher civilian death toll in its first three weeks than had occurred during the three months prior, when the “humanitarian catastrophe” had occurred that had ostensibly served as a pretext for the bombing.
In the year before the bombing, 2,000 people had been killed and several hundred thousand had become refugees, according to NATO, most of the victims being ethnic Albanians. According to U.S. intelligence, the number of internally displaced was 250,000. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported a similar figure of 230,000. But after less than two weeks of bombing, the UNHCR reported that 350,000 refugees had fled Kosovo just since the bombing began, and by the time it stopped put the number of refugees at 671,500.
どっちもどっちでチャラ！・・・というわけではなくて、どっちにも同じ基準を適用すべき、ということ。
おれは全然おぼえていないんだけど、コソボ紛争のときの報道ってどんな感じだったんだろう？
