No, it isn't parody.
Here is where there is an example of being in the business of de-escalation, which seems to have worked.
But you carry on with your hand wringing hatred of the West:

Kosovo, which has an overwhelmingly ethnic Albanian majority, broke away from Serbia after a war in 1998-99.
Serbia does not recognise Kosovo as an independent state, nor do the ethnic Serbs who live there.

Serbia lost the moral high ground when they started ethnic cleansing the people they disagreed with, its why we bombed the crap out of them in Allied force to make it clear if you continue, we will wreck your entire country.
by the way I disagreed with the bombing, just felt we should have done as the vp of bosnia asked, sell them weapons so they could fight on even terms.
I’d say your regular average Serbian joe didn’t/don’t condone ethnic cleansing.

Every average german outside dachau claimed they had no clue it was happening either, (hint the town was literally next door) the whole world knew about it and the serbians didnt seem to mind at the time.
Seeing similar approaches to it with russia in ukraine dehumanize the other side so they dont care about the ethnic cleansing.
I dont support the destruction of historic buildings no matter who is doing it or who the building represents. But do you think the way the serbs acted in the 90's MIGHT have something to do with the current day blowback?
Possibly maybe, act like a rabid arse weasel and eventually the people you took that dump on fight back in some way shape or form and you might not like it.

What does that have to do with what I posted, ie hoping for de-escalation of this conflict?

Asking you questions is "ranting" at you?
Eh? Get your story straight?
We are talking about Kosovo?
What's your problem with that?
Ukraine is not the topic of this thread?
