    Plus Libya is a cog in the machine of weakening and destabilizing Europe with the constant importation of Africans, and as we all know African women push out a lot of babies.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    why do you think "ISIS by the Sea" exists? you can thank Hillary for the assassination of Qadaffi-
    shes the one that wanted him to be a military target

    But ISIS was largely driven out by the Misrata Brigade - it's mostly just a failed state, continual civil war

    As usual we are completely back asswards when it come to Libya
    You used to denigrate Hafter, what changed?

    You really are one stupid mofo, even Michael Moore has seen the light regarding the uselessness of renewables.

    no. i always viewed him as anti-Islamist (as he describes himself)..
    I wasn't happy with his opposition to Qadaffi - but that's long gone -maybe that's what you mean?

    It's become a Big Powers playing field now. Erdogan and his backing of the GNA has changed the battlefield
    Libya is probably the most high tech battlefield ever; an I was hoping the LNA could finish the job,
    since the GNA is still a very weak government; albeit with Turkish support.

    I always back Egypt and the UAE -especially against Qatar's funding of terrorists
    (Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain supported by Egypt back the LNA) on matters for the same reasoning.
    But like anything else in the region- "it's complicated", Russia backs Hafatr as well, (plays both sides - opportunistic)

    The UAE has been attempting to embolden one side of the conflict, namely Khalifa Haftar and his followers, in order to allow him to achieve a total military victory and takeover as an absolute ruler of Libya thus emulating the Sisi model in Egypt

    Turkey vows more support to secure gains in Libya conflict
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/erdogan-h...081928802.html

    Turkey threw its support behind the GNA in November after signing a military cooperation pact alongside a maritime demarcation deal, which gives Ankara exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean that Greece and others reject.

    Turkey's support for the GNA "will increasingly continue," Erdogan said alongside Serraj, adding that Hafter and his backers "will be judged by history." A solution can only come under United Nations' auspices, he said.

    "We aim to expand our cooperation including exploration and drilling operations to take advantage of natural resources in the eastern Mediterranean," including Libyan territory, Erdogan added.
