Indeed this is the case. You are very right. I will expand the text for you.
The dutch army troopers called dutchbat where there to observe and guide. They where deliberately send with few troopers and light arms and not with proper equipped tanks and any other heavy artillery to not provoke the Bosnic Serbs and the bosnic muslims into a fight (UN mandate). The UN mandate was that the dutch would not intervene themselves, but ask for reinforcement. Dutchbat was not allowed according to later UN instructions to fire at the Bosnic Serbs. Now this is strange, because the mandate seemed to specify that when attacked , all means of force where allowed. Now why did dutchbat later get the order that they should not fire at the Bosnic Serbs ? Anyway, Dutchbat followed orders and in the army that is what you do, you have to follow orders. These orders came from the UN.
Dutchbat had asked for reinforcement but was indeed denied. The Bosnic Serbs could have their way and Dutchbat was not allowed to fight back and protect the Bosnic muslims even if they wanted too. If they would have engaged into a fight with the Bosnic Serbs they would have lost because they where few in number and only carried light arms. If they would have survived, they would have been brought to court for disobeying orders.
The dutch have been sold out.
This is the view that ignores relevant facts to paint the Dutch as poor victims rather than perpetrators. If they were victims, why were they so hated by the Dutch public when they returned? The commander had to flee to Spain. They were cowards and complicit in genocide.
Your story completely ignores reports that state the Dutch were complicit in genocide. Dutch soldiers aided in the massacre and celebrated with the killers.
It is a sad day for the whole world when a pathetic and small country is allowed to pretend that it did not aid the genocide. I also don't understand how you can say that the Dutch keep peace. They were enemies of peace.It was a sad day for a small country that history wise will help to bring and keep the peace but will not go to war them selves.
I don't know what you mean. The Netherlands are on a far-right binge.The Netherlands have always been open to foreigners and as such welcomed liberal and moderate modern moslims, this gave The Netherlands a lot of goodwill. You know what i mean ? I think it smells fishy. Also because the Bosnic Serb Ratko Mladić did not share ay information about his intentions. It was expected that he would enforce genocide but nobody in the dutch government or the UN listened to the warnings of the dutch military intelligence service.
You should ask yourself if you're getting news filtered by nationalistic and racist policies. Wise people would bypass news under such governmental and patriotic pressures. If you did that, then you would realize the Dutch actions to promote the genocide and would be outraged that such a pathetic country is allowed to control itself!Ask yourself if the part of the american public with these short sighted opinions get to see the same news we do. Wise People compare the news occasionally from abroad with the local news. But not all people are wise.
You cannot blame them... They do not know any better...
Besides, the general just wants to make money.
