"I don't think anyone in this world would ever say that President of Serbia Milosevic was an unambiguous figure, nobody said that. But, forgive me, Samantha Power, have you at least any idea about the process against Milosevic?," Zakharova said during a regular briefing, according to the Beta agency.
The spokesperson then noted that Milosevic's Hague Tribunal trial never finished, and that the case "died along with him."
"Are you trying to say that anyone who doesn't suit Washington will see the same fate, and will also die without a verdict?," she asked.
Zakharova then remarked that a country's representative to the UN "must have elementary knowledge."
"After such statements about Slobodan Milosevic and citing as an example the case against him, you, Samantha Power, are being laughed at by the whole world," the Russian MFA representatives said, and advised the U.S. official "to first tell the UN Security Council about the fate of the Guantanamo prison, and only then about Syrians, Russia, and Milosevic."
Power made her remarks before the UN Security Council on November 21, accusing 12 Syrian army generals and colonels of "killing civilians and torturing opponents," and adding that her country "will not allow those who ordered crimes to remain anonymous and protected."
"Those officers think they are protected, as was the case with Slobodan Milosevic, Charles Taylor, and many other war criminals," the U.S. representative to the UN said, according to Beta.

It sounds like Russia considers it an offense for the Syrian officers to be likened to Slobodan!

Speaking of Syrians I will say that I believe it that Bashar al-Asaad is said to have so much blood on his hands so if you ask me that don't make him much of a saint now does it?
(resident of Fredericton,New Brunswick,Canada, 25 November 2016 22:41)
If Bashar becomes a "good"Catholic and performs a few hocus-pocus miracles like Theresa, he'll be right in line after Stepinac.
(I'm assuming that you already knew that., 26 November 2016 22:50)
We can't have the Syrians fighting the head hacking savages backed by the US can we,this vile Woman should keep her mouth closed with her Country's record on War crimes,in fact sheshould be in the Dock with Obama.

all the fascists rats come crawling out of their dirty holes now that Trump won the US elections and show their ugly faces.
(observer, 25 November 2016 01:48)
The chronic use of name-calling and labeling people who hold a different view helped to bring out the vote for Trump. Just keep it up willi pfaff. You and roberto are drowning in your hate and misery.

It does not sound like this if you read the whole text. What we said was that Miloshevic had never been proven to be a criminal. Formally he died innocent though NATO had enough time to prove his guilt. But they feared that in this case too much shit would hit the ventilator. Including UCK and NATO shit. I really feel pity for the Whites. So they killed him and gave him no chance to be treated in Russia.
Seems that you came to realize what a wrong stake you’ve made by joining the anti-Serb and thus the anti-Russian war. Because the shqips used to be junior partners of the Rus people. First during the Great Mongol-Roman Horde and since 17 century of it survived part in Istanbul. But since 19 you are like a shit in an ice hole (говно в проруби) that fails to find a place beneath the sun. Only the stupid can believe that all peoples are equal … as the "big battalions" (Klausewitz) are always more equal.

I have seen this American representative on tv she is a facist no more no less. We know who finances the Islamic state, we know who destroyed Libya and turned it back to the Stone Age. We know that she turns a blind eye whilst the black people of Iraian Java ie: East Papua New Guinea are murdered and their lands pillaged their forests destroyed and not a murmur from Washington. How many people have the American,s killed with their Uranian tipped weapons in Bosnia and continue to kill to this day. Need I go on.

...so the US will advokate international crimes trial also for Saudi Arabia...!? Not only ignorant, but also extremely hypocritical...

Seems like the US government has kept their people ignorant to the point that those ignorant people now form the US government. Fortunately, the Clintons were rejected this time around.

Well US Piss and Wind since Assad is another Milosevic you should put your money where your mouth is and put a stop to him. Send in NATO and see how far you go LOL. US diplomats are nothing but windbags.
(sj, 24 November 2016 22:34)
There will be a lot of embarrassed people in the US government including Madeline Albright, who was intimately involved in the Kosovo situation, when the trials of the KLA begin next year in The Hague. It will show how the US and the West got in bed with war criminals who bought and sold human organs. I think the Trump administration will use this to their advantage in future elections
(Sam D, 24 November 2016 21:18)
Samantha Power is nothing but a stooge for the Obama/ Clinton cartel. She will say or do anything to justify the unjust bombing of Serbia. Don't forget we have Clinton administration to protect. If they have to demonize Milosevic and the Serbian people then so be it
Don't forget our president Clinton was having difficulties with a certain young lady named Monica. So starting a phony war is the best way to deflect attention away from that
(Sam D, 24 November 2016 21:02)
Russia should be ashamed.
What will be next?Hitler was a hero?

I wouldn’t like to have Masha as an enemy as she kills you without a gun. She’s a frequent guest at the TV talk shows here and she is contrasting with the previous spokesman Lukashevic who was too diplomatic for a war time. What is important the West must know that we record their every step. And no matter what their propaganda is trolling we remember the truth. And sooner or later they will have to pay for the bills. They believe that a lie repeated 1000 times becomes a truth. So they call us fascists and putlers ect. but people like Maria are here to refresh their memory with a cold shower. Good job! The main guilt of Slobo was that he failed to destroy the separatists and save Yugoslavia. He could also let Mladic defeat the Croats in Kraina and do other good things but let God judge him now.
