From the Punic Wars to the Second World War, Italy has a history of seeing military goals along the Libyan coast. Today, Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti suggested that Italy is looking that way again, preparing to lead an invasion of Libya to fight against the ISIS affiliate there.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano also chimed in, claiming Italy views ISIS as “just south of Rome,” and that the risk of ISIS moving into Italy “could not be discounted,” calling on the UN to endorse a military operation.
Alfano went on to predict that the Vatican, as “the center of Christianity,” was a likely next target for ISIS, after the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya over the weekend.
The ISIS faction in Libya is actually not founded by ISIS, but was rather a separate Islamist group that pledged allegiance to ISIS in late 2014 in an attempt to gain credibility. The move worked, and the group now has influence in several cities across Libya.
The Egyptian military junta, keen at installing a friendly general in Libya, has been attacking ISIS already, and is endorsing Italian calls for an international invasion.
If Italy performs as badly as it did in previous imperial African adventures then the international community should brace itself for another looming disaster.
I love Italy, but their leaders are insane. Italy bombed the sovereign nation of Libya, murdered its political leaders, turned everything over to uncontrolled rebel groups. The total lack of control of Libya´s borders and the refugees created from Italian barbarism establishes a large jumping off place for refugees from the region, all going to Italy. Now, after creating its own huge immigration problem, through illegally and immorally bombing Libya, Italy´s solution is to invade Libya. Then what? Occupy it for years, because if the Italians were to leave, the refugees would return to visit Italy by the boatloads. Hey, and what happens if Italy begins losing their war in Libya?
If there were ever an example of a self-created clusterf****, it is Italy´s involvement in Libya. Perhaps we should look at it as “Poetic Justice”.
Because of course Italy has never done anything bad to Libya, and will no doubt be completely welcome when they come to help the country. Then they can go help Albania and Greece.
Hey Benito Jr. go right ahead! And when your soldiers get bogged down and lose as they will you will then ask Chancellor Merkel to send a new Afrika Korps to Libya. Right?
Yes, I can just picture the future with an Italian surrender of Sicily, the capitulation of the then reigning Italian government and Benito Jr.'s creation of a new Republic of Salo, the later with Germany's protection, of course. 🙂
Will Italy send their navy; "Chicken of the Sea" also? They could release the Captain of the Concordia from prison to "navigate" the fleet. Onto the rocks, of course!
Libya was the richest country in Africa. No debt, free healthcare, education, until the vultures descended on it. You can't have people living out that kind of freedom in a sovereign land without enslaving its citizens with perpetual debt to the western bankers…like all of us Western debt peons. The proxies made sure they destroyed it all and symbolically shanked the person who made that prosperity possible. Sad, the state that they are in now.
Christian Crusades — birth of Pagan Christianity
For three hundred years the early Christians were virtually all converted Hebrews and for them it was most absolute, their martyr Christ was a pacifist with a vow of poverty and to a man so were they.
Then in AD 381, the Emperor of Rome created a new religion called Roman Catholicism, appointed himself the first Pope and published the first Bible called the Latin Vulgate. Actually a Pagan Bible as it gave him the ability to rise a massive army, all converted Pagans who were taught that God rewards with the most wealth those who are the most righteous and that you are God’s servant if you bear the sward for government.
And so, all the nations in Europe and the Western world, when they go to war it is a Christian Crusade of some kind, for the purpose of this world is to reach the ultimate conclusion of such a fake morality.
Actually, the paganization of Christianity began with Paul, although Constantine did stuff it full of Roman paganizations (worship on the day of the sun, for example). He was never a pope and the Vulgate wasn't even commissioned, let alone completed, until more than 40 years after his death.
