I say, blowing up buildings in your own country to justify an attack to Chechnya and then calling it a police action. Lo and behold, I must sit down.

Regarding Bosnia: russian troops were sent there starting 12th Jan 1996. What evidence are you looking for?

What comes to Serbia, the Russian troops entered Pristina "by accident" in 1999 and Moscow explained it that the troops' arrival was "a mistake". The soldiers had been ordered to leave "immediately", the Russian Foreign Minister, Mr Igor Ivanov said on CNN, reading a statement. The White House reacted saying it accepted Mr Ivanov's explanation "for now" but added that it wanted answers to Russia's investigation into the troop movement, CNN said.
(source, Irish times, june 12 1999)

what comes to ancient history: The fascist Finland shelling Mainila... oh please....

the US has made its mistakes no question but it would be incredibly naive and underestimation of the audience to try to white wash the deeds of Moscow.
