The Russian Embassy in London published a tweet on Nov. 30, quoting from 1999 NATO spokesman Jamie Shea, stating: “70% of #Yugoslavia is without electricity. It shows we have our finger on the trigger and can turn electricity on & off where we need it & where we want it, ” justifying NATO’s destruction of Serbia’s civilian infrastructure, thereby exposing the hypocrisy of the same NATO insisting it is “terrorism” when Russia does it in Ukraine. (https://twitter.com/RussianEmbassy/status/1598030331810287616/photo/3 ) Included in the tweet is a photo of the May 4, 1999 New York Times, “NATO Air Attacks on Power Plants Cross a Threshold,” which itself quotes the following exchange at Shea’s press conference:
Question (Norwegian News Agency): I am sorry, Jamie, but if you say that the Army has a lot of back-up generators, why are you depriving 70% of the country of not only electricity, but also water supply, if he has so much back-up electricity that he can use because you say you are only targeting military targets?
