Libya was and is a s******* and kadafi was a mess murdering maniac.
But that’s okay people need to see that things you post are completely bizarre.
No I don’t support what Hillary did in Libya but that doesn’t mean it was a good country it was hell on Earth and it had been that way under dictators for many decades.

“No I don’t support what Hillary did in Libya”

BS. If you support what the Neocons have done to Ukraine, you sure as hell have to support what the Neocons did to Libya - it’s NO DIFFERENT.

Again. You are simply spitting out what you have been told by the country that destroyed them.

Do you know why we destroyed them?
Because Khaddafi had put forward a single currency for the entire continent and it was going to hapoen.
Early dedollarization.

Do you know why we destroyed Iraq?
Because Saddam had announced he would sell oil in currencies other than the dollar.

Do you know why we are destroying Ukraine?
Why we initiated a coup that unseated the Democratically elected president who was pro Russian?
To install a fascist murderer Poroshenko, who took obvious delight speaking in public about how he would ruin the lives of eastern (ethnic Russian) Ukrainians.
And he did.
Took away their pensions and shelled them and crowed in speeches about their children growing up in basements.

Eight years of shelling clearly civilian targets.

What was NATO’s violent intervention in Libya really all about? Now we know, writes Ellen Brown, thanks to Hillary Clinton’s recently published emails. It was to prevent the creation of an independent hard currency in Africa that would free the continent from economic bondage under the dollar, the IMF and the French African franc, shaking off the last heavy chains of colonial exploitation.

Qaddafi’s government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver ... This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA).”

In a ‘source comment’, the original declassified email adds:

“According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. According to these individuals Sarkozy’s plans are driven by the following issues:

1. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,
2. Increase French influence in North Africa,
3. Improve his internal political situation in France,
4. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world,
5. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi’s long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa.”
