Hello Pablo,
Operation Allied Force (1999)
NATO air campaign launched on 24 March 1999 and suspended on 10 June 1999.
Direction: The Big Red “Acronym” Button.
Cast: 19 NATO members, 1 endless press briefing, and the world’s loudest PowerPoint clicker.
Plot: “We will do this for 78 days,” says the script, like it’s a limited series.
What the public sees: geopolitics.
What the backstage sees: a whiteboard full of arrows, coffee, and someone whispering:
“Is ‘suspended’ the same as ‘finished’ or is it like my gym membership?”
If diplomacy is a group chat, this was the moment everyone started typing at once.
All the best,
Marilda Gusmão
