I mean Bill. Kosovo. I guess Kosovo is the new Forgotten War for America. It actually went well and didn't result in a quagmire and it was reacting to a very real genocide so the world didn't remember it as yet another imperialist chess move. I honestly don't even know if it was an imperialist chess move. I guess the 90s was the time when the US became "the world police" because we didn't stay in Iraq, Somalia seemed like a legit humanitarian conflict, and so did Kosovo. And with what happened after 9/11 to overshadow the 90s conflicts I don't think many people have publicly analyzed those conflicts to figure out how they were imperialist. I mean I clearly remember Kosovo and yet I remember nothing about it beyond the news coverage at the time so I can't even comment on what might have been going on behind the scenes, unlike so much of what happened in the 2000's.
