Just the title feels misleading, Yugoslavia didn't exist in practical terms when Nato bombed Serbia (Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia was de facto gone). I've to this day not heard a single good argument from the "anti-imperialists" of what the world should have done after multiple attempts with large peace treaties being violated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=czQrU0OPIR8 Here's a much better video showing the time line. |

That's needlessly pedantic, and wrong.
The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the union of 6 Balkan countries, didn't exist anymore in 1999. But the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the union of Serbia and Montenegro, existed between 1992 and 2003. Colloquially, they're both referred to as Yugoslavia, and it's clear from the date and context which one is referenced.

I haven't seen the video from the OP yet, but this one from Johnny Harris, while slick and well produced, refers to SFR Yugoslavia being communist. It was actually a more liberal form of socialism (the S in SFRY) than communist USSR countries ever enjoyed. Tito famously established the Non-Aligned Movement of countries that rejected both Western and Eastern influence.
Overall, it gets many things right, but my history knowledge in the period isn't great to fact-check what else it got wrong.
