General Wesley Clark was mental, and was removed from any place he might do any damage not long after this. Serbia kicking off did not nearly cause World War 3, a mad American general ordering a British detachment to attack Russians at Pristina airfield might have done.

Even if the present supreme commander of Nato in Europe was equally nuts, the chances of Russia managing to take an airfield in the Balkans are even less likely than their being able to do so in Ukraine, not least because any Russian halfway competent to do so was killed trying to do it in Ukraine, or in the months afterwards.
