[@ferka6447]

As leaked in Clinton email, France's reasons to start bombing Libya are: a. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production, b. Increase French influence in North Africa, c. Improve his internal political situation in France, d. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world, e. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa. Especially point e shows French imperialism really clearly.

This is a lie lie lie. We remember. Gadaffi was on the verge of uniting Africa. He was creating a common currency for the African union, the gold based dinar. Libya had no world bank & no international debt. & gadaffi had just completed a major aqueduct, turning the desert into lush farmland. Their oil was nationalized. All 1 needs to do is look at the 1st head of state installed by a self appointed council. He was a US citizen. His successor was also a US citizen.

[@Zackaryyrakcaz]

I'm so glad someone is making videos like this; more people should know what is going on in the world! But, quick criticism: One should not downplay the role of the USA and EU in this. The "west" assisted by launching airstrikes and air-supiriority missions over Libya, against Ghadafi. I'm curious how influential that was, and if it gives the "west" any measure of responsibility there? Then again, Ghadafi had been so bold as to try and sell RPGs to Chicago gangs... but that's unrelated, for some reason. One could connect the two, and say that the "west" is only responsible for stopping a criminal... I suppose?

[@salokin3087]

Probably not, the fighting had been raging for months, either the war would of dragged on and more people died or the ended quickly via the no fly zone. Nothing really changes except death toll, the intervention reduced that in the short term but there was no peacekeeping force afterwards

[@Zackaryyrakcaz]

@@salokin3087 Sounds about right, from what little I know. If it where more influential, would that give the "west" more responsibility? I guess that kind of idea comes off as some sort of political illusion though... the "stated goal" of the airstrike would be all the responsibility politicians would be willing to take (maybe not even that). I just wish there were a better option... I largely suspect that Turkey has some pseudo-Imperial ambitions. Ironically, looking at his actions in the Mediterranean, I suspect that he wants to ensure his oil reserves BEFORE conducting his wider military plans. Getting the oil might be the prerequisite to further war, and not just the goal. I know Turkey has access to oil now, but maybe they want to ensure against a trade-embargo? I don't know most of the facts, btw... just spit-balling.

@@Zackaryyrakcaz Do yourself a favor and read Peter Zeihan's book "Disunited Nations" to better grasp Turkey's ambitions, point is, the regret western states had in the intervention was the lack of peacekeeping forces ala Kosovo

[@Zackaryyrakcaz]

@@salokin3087 Thanks for the book recommendation! But why IS that the point? That point seems to assume that: A) That action would have successfully established a stable future regime, and not turned into a decades-long quagmire. B) That any countries would have gotten involved in the 1st place, if the plan included peacekeeping forces (This would have made everyone reluctant to even broach the subject of involvement). C) That I, personally, disagree with sending in peacekeeping forces. It would probably have been ideal, given all other information. I just don't see the relevance to what I said....

[@salokin3087]

@@Zackaryyrakcaz the context was the UN Security council was working under R2P, they believed a massacre was imminent regardless of it being real or not. In that goal, it was succesful. Libya would be in a civil war irregardless of whether outside nations got involved

First of all, I'm not good at English grammar, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes It is very clear that your words are really unfair and take the side of Haftar, being Libyan. Haftar did not bring good to Libya. He cut off the water and bombed us and created many conflicts. Despite the support of strong countries, he did not bring any benefit to Libya, and I also did not like your description. For Muammar as a dictator, he had done many really wonderful things, and the reason for killing him was that he wanted to create a currency with some countries in Africa. Is it really logical for 48 countries to unite against him to bring him down? France does not have any gold mines on its soil, and it is funny that it is the fourth largest country in gold reserves

Apologists for Ghadaffi are very dishonest. They deny the intensity of the yearning of Libyans to end their torture-prison state, EVEN IF many now say things were better. Apologists for Ghadaffi are usually shills for the Russian-Chinese-Iranian-North Korean axis which labors for all of earth to be a torture-prison state ruled by unaccountable oligarchs.

Libya was destroyed purposly by the UN & the USA . They feared Gaddafis new African Gold backed currency. It was going to be the most powerful currency in the world .

[@ericsarnoski6278]

This was initiated by France. Kadaffi was collaborating with the Allies with the war on Terrorism . Paid restitution for the Lochabre bombing , gave up his weapons of mass destruction. They decided to drag some upset street vendor before their parliament to cry about his treatment. France, which likes to brag about their military prowess asked the US to military airforce to take out kadaffi 1970 soviet shoulder fired air defenses . Then France blantently violated the U.N. resolution and shipped arms to Libya. CIA had nothing to do with this , this was strictly French Parliament in collaboration with the U.S. state department .
