Kushner Firm To Build Memorial To “Victims Of NATO”

Spy Talk reports:

After weathering criticism over its reliance on a gusher of Saudi cash, Jared Kushner’s investment fund made its first big splash last month when it announced it had signed a $500 million deal with the Serbian government to develop a high end real estate project in downtown Belgrade on the site of a bombed down army building destroyed during the 1999 Kosovo war.

But the fine print of the deal includes a commitment that seems destined to stir up even more international controversy: a pledge by Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, to construct a “memorial dedicated to all the victims of NATO aggression”— an allusion to the U.S.-backed bombing campaign that brought the Serbian government of Slobodan Milosevic to its knees a quarter century ago in response to its relentless campaign of repression and savage massacres of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

The Daily Beast reports:

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who served as NATO Supreme Allied Commander during the conflict, slammed the memorial portraying the U.S.’ adversary in the war as a victim of aggression. He called it “a betrayal of the United States, its policies and the brave diplomats and airmen who did what they could to stop Serb ethnic cleansing.” He also claimed the memorial project was “part of a broader Russian intelligence movement to split, discredit and weaken NATO.”
