Germany's opposition Left party has expressed its suspicions of a "dirty deal" after German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen raised the prospect of sending troops to Libya to support a potential unity government in the fractured North African country. [...]

Germany is one of a number of states (including Italy, France and Britain) currently discussing Libya in Rome, alongside representatives of the European Union and the United Nations, and van Aken claims that not only is a senior Bundeswehr officer among the German delegation, but the countries are planning to send in ground troops.

"The plans for Libya go way beyond training Libyan soldiers," he told the "Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung" newspaper. He also described it as a dangerous move to even start training Libyan soldiers, because "at the moment it is not clear who is fighting who." ...

Take the fight to the invaders’ home country.

Makes sense to me. Nothing “dirty” about it.

Don’t forget, the “rest of the world” says that the USA’s not allowed to do that. Meanwhile, this same “rest of the world” goes ahead and does it.

I no longer care what befalls Europe!

After all the gibsmedat and the holier than thou crap I hope they fall hopelessly under the spell of radical Islamist’s and NEVER ever emerge again!

Good ridance to bad idiots!

I just hope they serve as a warning to America.

I’M FED UP!

The fact of the matter is that even the worst colonial powers did a better job of running most of these countries than their present leadership. And much of what functioning infrastructure they still have are remnants of that colonial past.

Worst examples are probably Belgium & Rwanda, Italy & Somalia, Italy & Libya. They were still WAY better then than now.

Africa is still colonized, albeit by Red China in much of the central and southern regions.

In that case, they’re bringing it to us again. Obama and his predecessors really set us up for that, although the seeds of it were planted in the UN originally.

Maybe Rommel has a Great Grandson who likes the desert. Sounds like a nice German colony to hold all the Muslims from europe. Sure is big enough. If they play nice this time. Trump might help them build a Big Wall around it!
