Sure , kill them both , hell kill them all as long it's France and England doing the killing. This is their war driven by the need for oil . Europe has no choice , when it looked like Q was cutting a China oil deal they panicked . Look who owns most of the oil rigs , the Brits and The French .

“Look who owns most of the oil rigs , the Brits and The French.”

To clarify, Italy and Spain own about 33% of the oil production with Libya owning the other 67%. The Brits got out of the Libyan oil business in 1998 after the Lockerbie Scotland plane bombing when the sanctions were put in place.

France buys 16% of their oil from Libya, but does not own rigs there.

The two national oil companies from these countries that own rigs and production facilities in Libya are ENI (Italy) and Repsol (Spain).

There is a good article here
