I wonder a lot about Bernie's motives when it came to this. He definitely can't plead ignorance because there were people telling him not to at the time, including presumably the advisor that resigned. I want to believe he wasn't being intentionally imperialist, and this was more of a path to hell is paved with good intentions situation, but I acknowledge that might be parasocial influence. I'll definitely never defend him for this after having learned the full details.
Bernie is a trade unionist. Bernie represents an area with union workers building military hardware. I think it's literally that simple. The bill probably had extra funding for his district's war machine and he took the deal. This is the problem with trade unionists not having a cohesive political ideology beyond "fuck you, pay me".
I've never heard the KLA being compared to Nazis, that's bullshit I've never even heard from the most nationalistic Serbs. Not saying war crimes haven't been committed by the KLA, but their ideology and their actions in general have nothing to do at all with Nazis, Idk what in the fuck you've been reading.
