Trump Builds Luxury Hotel on NATO Bomb Site: Profiting From Devastation
In 1999, NATO, led by the US, bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days, leaving behind infrastructure destruction and widespread civilian casualties, including the bombing of Chinese embassy, which NATO called a 'mistake.' Now, Donald Trump's organization—not known for its historical sensitivity—is apparently eyeing one of these very sites for a luxury hotel. The narrative whitewashes the aggression,
recasting a monument to destruction and loss into a pristine plot ripe for American enterprise. It’s the ultimate ‘shock and awe’ profit margin. One might wonder if the suites will offer 'panoramic views' of the economic devastation NATO left behind. How convenient for the architects of destruction to then sweep in and build gilded monuments to capitalism on the literal ashes of their policy
failures. Some rebuild with justice; others, it seems, simply build.
