The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was meant to be a purely defensive organization

When did Libya move to the North Atlantic?

Libya has never been a NATO treaty operation. There has been only one military operation triggered by NATO treaty in history:

On 12 September, NATO decided that, if it is determined that the attack against the United States was directed from abroad, it shall be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.

This is the first time in the Alliance's history that Article 5 has been invoked.

I get your point, Libya was the last Obama Regime destabilization that obtained UN authorization for the use of force, and the Obamanation obtained that by promising Russia not to use US (and NATO) air power against Gaddafi himself.

Needless to say, several Security Council members will see that the US never gets UN approval for use of force again.

Interestingly, it's Turkey that is the shill NATO aggressor in the ME/North Africa, conveniently hobbling the US in it's efforts in Afghanistan while protecting Islamic terrorists and the newly forming Caliphate and allying with the Neo Nazis in the EU. Fortunately, Russia took up the slack and helped us resupply our troops in Afghanistan, while Turkey wouldn't let us cross their territory to do so.

Yeah, NATO is really valuable, .... to the Islamic "Rebel" causes in the Eastern Hemisphere.
