And yet, there we were, destroying an African country that had the highest standard of living, thanks to the use of their OWN resources, and now it is the way Colonialists have historically left African nations they decided to 'help'
Look, we know why NATO was there. It was to once again, take control of an African nation's resources.
And when that mission was accomplished, they left the civilians to try to survive against the brutality of the gangs of murderous thugs sent in by NATO and their allies, Qatar, dictators btw, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Maybe the West just can't stand to see an African nation thriving economically, using their resources for THEIR people.
Whatever the reason, a nation that climbed out of the last mess left by Imperialists, has been put 'back in its place', again by the West.
And best of all, THEY no longer control their own resources. So 'bye 'bye EDUCATION, which was free, including college in other countries in Libya, all the incredible Social Services they had, paid for with their own oil. Homes for the mentally ill, it was a law there that every Libyan had a right to a home.
Well, the West decided to end those 'terrible' policies, paid for with what they clearly think is 'our oil'.
I opposed it, I opposed Apartheid, I opposed Iraq, Afghanistan and all the other 'proxy wars' we wage against people for their resources.
And in the Imperial West, NO ONE is a War Criminal. As we found out after Iraq.
