US officials familiar with the situation say that the Trump Administration is likely to announce a dramatic “ramping up” of US involvement in Libya, appointing a new US ambassador, and setting up a permanent US military presence in the nation.
While the military operation appears primarily aimed at supporting the “unity government” in Tripoli, officials suggest it might also see some US troops deployed to war-torn Benghazi, currently under the control of a rival faction, with an eye toward eventually uniting the country under unity government rule.
President Obama decided to back the unity government during the Sirte offensive, sending US troops to fight ISIS there with the expectation that the unity government’s victory would give them a massive advantage over the rival governments. This has not proven the case, however, with East Libya mostly dominated by the Tobruk parliament and the LNA, and the unity government struggling with the Tripoli parliament over the capital.
The US officials say that the administration is happy with their increased involvement in Somalia, and is looking to replicate that sudden escalation in Libya, trying to carve out a permanent US presence in the country, and ensure that whoever ends up in power becomes a US client.
Because we can’t have a Russian mediated peace and increased presence now can we?
US Orc cesspool and terrorist factory must remain active at all cost!
Libya needs stability. This won’t be too difficult.
Don’t get me wrong, Ghadafi shouldn’t have been deposed at all, but TODAY, what else is there to do?
.
And we are the only country in the world to do it? Regional states could do it essier, cheaper and faster. Privided that there is NO MORE ARMING SND FINANCING VARIOUS PROXIES. Like ISIS, that was broughtbthere bu US — in order to weaken Tripoli government. And how to get them out? Trump is no longer making decisions in these matters – or else, se should not be seeing expansion of occupations, and money being thrown down the toilet — to fatten the wallets of all those contractors war suppliers.
And Soros is again spending OUR money – this time organizing a thpical show of marching, big flags, tents, food and drink for thousands in Turkey, “protestind” government policy, the policy of another US nation building for Kurds in Syria. It is so much fun for students in the dummer, having paid vacation, fun in the sun, traveling across Anatolia, having all the basics paid for. Another attempt at regime change in Turkey. Money, money, money. And in the end — like in Vietnam, we will hsve to leaveef for peace to hold. But empires never learn. All empires think that they are anointed by ghe supreme being to romp around the globe, sorting out every bar fight in Bosnia, and r
Right, none of our interventions are “too difficult”.
Sometimes I just dream of dropping these folks off in the middle of Tripoli and letting them fend for themselves.
Send YOUR children and loved ones. Sorry Libya. My country is run by SCUM.
Trump is looking more and more like another NWO president every day He wants to run IRAQ Libya and Syria too . But can’t even get Obama care replaced
hasnt libya been destroyed enough /? THE ORANGE CLOWN is gonna steal their oil, and any other goods they have, he is a sock puppet, for israel, and a filthy criminal…….
Excruciating 2C the Donald finishing the Hillary Witches dirty deed…. Just too much oil for the Neoconservatives to let slip out of their corrupt mitts. New Boss becoming more & more like the ole boss… I guess this just will be another test of fidelity that the Don has flunked…….
Control Libya… Sounds easy, but as we have seen, these fourth generation conflicts can be an unwinnable nightmare… I suppose if terrorism is the national new shinny new tool of governance as it seems to be, and have been since nine 11… Any wonder that they would choose the path most likely to cause deadly blowback…. & convently just after Gadaffr’s heir apparent was released and disappeared into the wilds of the Eastern sector… Let’s keep our eyes on this 1 even after the MSM losses interest or is instructed to forget.. Mo would have wanted it so….
Is anyone surprised? Garrison the planet! Can’t wait for all those “Little Libya” communities to blossom in most large U.S. cities.
The original UN resolution authorizing the attack on Libya specified that this would not happen. Promises were made to Russia and China that we would not do exactly this if they allowed the attack to happen for “R2P”.
As with the expansion of NATO to Russia’s border, the US promises are worthless, and breaking those promises again is going to infuriate those promised again — as it should.
This will have a price. It will be paid in Korea, and the South China Sea, and Ukraine and Syria, and more. Iran too if this keeps on.
You wish.USA
f*** you obama
So now when Americans are senselessly killed the rationalization is already in place
“But Hillary did it first!”
And his fawning, slack jawed supporters will cheer him on as though our foreign policy and the human lives ground up in it are only yards in a football game
Try to imagine the reaction if Russia or China or Iran behaved like the USA. The USA is the most obnoxious country on the planet.
