Why didn't western military forces intervene in the Bosnian War earlier? What were they doing in 1992 that prevented them from stopping the Serbs going apeshit?

minding their own fucking business is what. was there gold in yugoslavia? was there oil in yugoslavia? was yugoslavia strategically important? no, so fuck'm. it's great to have a police force but if western society is wholly uneffected one way or another, it's just not their jurisdiction. now, once the stories and documented incidents of war crimes and genocide began to stink something had to be done as per our collective obligations to international law.
Russophilia coupled with seeing Eastern Europeans as subhuman.
The public of industrialized countries believes that a drop of their own blood is worth more than an ocean of anyone else's.
They are, of course, right.
Oh, and Europeans are pussies who can't do a fucking thing on their own.

Western military forces - specifically American - not only incited the War, by promising Alija Izetbegovic that his new country would receive recognition as a sovereign state, but also supported the Bosniaks by providing them military leaders and materiel, without which they wouldn't have bounced back into a stalemate and received their own state.
They didn't directly intervene earlier because Clinton's and Blair's neoconservative policies didn't jive with most European nations' foreign policies, but to say they weren't mixed up in it from the beginning is ignorant.

Not to mention that america literally passed a law that stated they would cut of all aid to any yugoslav republic that didn't declare independence.
And they directly funded most of the natioalist, secessionist groups and parties at that time.

And what does the Middle East have that Western countries don't have?
The USA already has the largest oil reserves in the world

The Soviets/Russians and Chetniks were/are best bros.
The ethnic cleansing of Bosnia was an echo of the earlier ethnic cleansing of Germans from eastern Europe by the Soviets at the end of WWII. That ethnic cleansing was widely praised in eastern Europe and went almost completely unpunished, and the Chetniks wanted to emulate it.
