All hell breaks loose when the Western public opinion is so hyped up in this Serbophobia that it's going to make Hitler's invasion of Yugoslavia seem like a walk in the park. Literally as the Wehrmacht had to do was to blitz into Belgrade and Yugoslavia is finished. Serbs being more defiant, let's say a change in the Russian government is needed. (Yeltsin may not be useful with the situation in Yugoslavia. Someone who is a hard liner would be perfect for the job, like either Zyuganov, Primakov or Zhirinovsky. Putin isn't the star at this point yet.)
If Putin had been in office for several months to a year I can only imagine what he may have done to deter airstrikes.
