Serbian fans held banners listing the history of the US invasion, and the Western media collectively lost their voices -

On the 17th local time, Serbian fans unfurled six huge banners in the stands, detailing by year the more than 20 countries that the United States and NATO had directly (or indirectly) participated in invasions in the past. There was also a banner that read "What we want to say is, give peace a chance!"

At the same time, the fans at the scene also sang "Give peace a chance (Give peace a chance)", which was ironic. The so-called "anti-war" slogan in the West. In sharp contrast, the Western mainstream media has collectively lost its voice on this issue.

In the early morning of the 18th, Beijing time, in the second round of the Europa League round of 16, the Serbian Red Star Belgrade team faced the Scottish Glasgow Rangers at home.

Although the Red Star team won 2:1, they still lost 0:3 in the first round and were unfortunately eliminated.

It is worth noting that at the match venue, the Rajko Matic Stadium - the world-famous "devil's home stadium", Serbian fans used a special way to fiercely fight back against the Western double standards.

In a video circulated on foreign social media, almost the entire stadium of fans joined in and held up six banners.

The first five banners list the countries that the United States and NATO directly or indirectly participated in the invasion by year:

North Korea in 1950, Guatemala in 1954, Indonesia in 1958, Cuba 1961, Vietnam 1961, Congo 1964, Laos 1964, Brazil 1964, Dominica 1965, Greece 1967, Argentina 1976, Nicaragua 1981, Grenada 1984, Philippines 1989, Panama 1989, Iraq 1991, 2003 In 1995, the Republic of Serb Republic, Sudan in 1998, Yugoslavia in 1999, Afghanistan in 2001, Yemen in 2002, Somalia in 2006, Libya in 2011, and Syria in 2011.

On the sixth banner, they wrote "What we want to say is, give peace a chance!"

Perhaps they are worried that Western countries are "invisible" and tens of thousands of Fans also turned on their mobile phone lights to light up the stadium.

After displaying the banner, all the fans sang "Give peace a chance". This anti-war song was written and sung by the famous British rock singer John Lennon.

Some foreign media people said on social media, “Tonight, tens of thousands of fans of Serbia’s most popular football team Red Star Belgrade held slogans from more than 20 countries to express their opposition to the so-called anti-war Western A sharp response was made."

In sharp contrast to the "high profile" of Serbian fans is the collective silence of the Western mainstream media in response to the banner incident, and the previous "anti-war" enthusiasm has disappeared.

Searching on Google with the English terms "Serbian fans", "Red Star Belgrade fans" and "European League", there are only a handful of relevant news, and no one in the mainstream media cares about it, and some are just simple battle report.

In fact, this is not the first time Serbian fans have expressed their stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict at the stadium.

On March 10, during Red Star’s 5-0 victory over Novi Pazar, fans sang “Katyusha” to express their support for Russia. They also set off smoke in the colors of the Russian flag and shouted "Russia and Serbia will always be brothers."

On February 25, Serbian President Vucic publicly stated that they opposed Western countries’ “sanctions” against Russia, but supported Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

"As a country that has experienced Western sanctions, the Republic of Serbia believes that imposing sanctions on any country or its representatives and commercial entities is not in line with our country's important political and economic interests."

In addition, he also emphasized many times in recent election campaigns that "Serbia will not join NATO, nor will it forget NATO's aggressive behavior of bombing Yugoslavia in 1999."
