Thanks for tuning! What international stories do you want me to deep dive into next? Leave your suggestions in the comments down below...
Philip DeFranco I’m first guys!
I can’t believe I made it here, such a pleasure.
Thanks for doing such a good report on a very politically strained topic. The cycle/steps that lead to ‘today’ should never go unnoticed.
The protests in Sudan!
Totally wrong: Gaddafi killed civilians for decades. USA didn't care because Libya was a very important oil producer for the USA. Europe didn't care because they had an agreement with him to close his boarders to Europe for african refugees. this went for years until he threatened to start selling oil for other currencies than the US Dollar and to open the his boarder to the sea for refugees to be able to enter Europe. This why USA and Europe got rid of him. pretty simple that whats happened.
I like how you got a haircut during the video, since it was shot over several days, but you didn't change your shirt. Because that would be a continuity error.
Lol
He brings 5 labeled shirts to work every week and only wear them to shoot.
Phawnix 😂
@Phawnix @12:38 I didn't notice until he said it in the video
I’m Libyan
And I wanna say well done you guys did good researching event about Libya and it’s almost 100%
Few parts about Gen hafter role isn’t mentioned and militias in tripoli and their role in the chaos
Also one mistake I noticed is Hafter do control the oil but The government in Tripoli gets paid for it not him the oil is still sold by them and central bank get the money to fund the militias that protect them in tripoli
But all and all well done it’s a lot of coverage in 13 min
Stay Safe
I have a question. Honest and Earnest.
Was life better before, or after Gaddafi?
@@Voluse I can answer that for you. It was better, in the sense that there was no killing no armed militias controlling cities and doing whatever they want. But that doesn't mean it was amazing. Life was shit back then, Qaddafi and his people were living on oil money while Libyans were poor and having to work two jobs to make a living. The education was deteriorating and the infrastructure of the country was getting worse and worse. Most of the roads are either since the Italian occupation or the last king ( we talking about 50s and 40s infrastructure). He executed people who opposed him in 90s and forced the others to leave the country. We talking about a country rich in oil with a population less than 6 millions. The country literally was dependant on Qaddafi and his ruling by force and fear, and as soon as he was gone the country went to shit because he left nothing after him to keep the country going.
My parents tell me about how in the 90s they had to choose between buying formula milk for me or bread for themselves. Because of the blockade on the country in 90s people didn't have food to buy and the blockade happened because of his policies against the west. From bombing aircrafts from the sky (Lockerbie) to his war against Chad where Libyan soldiers left to die in the desert after he changed his mind about occupying the northern part of Chad.
I can keep going about his ruling of Libya but you get the point. We went from a shitty situation ( I can't blame people for trying to change it) to an even shittier state.
@@esameagurni6432 it's ironic. The country that started "Arabian spring" Tunisia is the only one who experienced positive benefits from it. And it's much smaller and neighbor to Libya.
@@thedissidentleftist6997 Believe me Saudi Arabia and UAE tried their best to overthrow the government. But the military just like in 2011 supported the people and did not intervene or go against the people's choice of a democratic country.
They came.. they saw... he died.... country is now in turmoil... why am I not suprised
So true
I think its even a bigger issue with the UN and Western powers as they just randomly bomb and assassinate leaders. This only makes the situation worse as order falls apart....
I'm kinda starting to understand how Trump got elected after seeing some comments made by Hilary .
Welcome to the club! It's only been happening for a fucking century.
It's almost like making the world a better place is a little harder than shoving a bayonet up a despot's ass. It was a good effort though. I mean, we did take the most successful state in North Africa and turned it into a war-torn deathtrap ostensibly ruled by a new military dictatorship, with an open slave trade. Good job, us. We really did a fine job of ruining the lives of 7 million people.
Its funny how the general dude that is only alive because he was taken prisoner, doesnt want to take prisoners.
Raindance Sam that’s exactly why lol. He knows better than anyone that showing mercy can come back to bite you.
@@PretaxAnemone48 most of who he is fighting are terrorist militias, the government itself doesnt even have a military, Haftar took over 80%+ of all libyan resources in 40 minutes, not 40 days, 40 minutes.
This isnt some warlord general, this is a guy who knows his shit and knows how strategic planning works.
Makes sense now to think that 'bone spurs' likes him
Fyi im libyan Ive seen the full video, its hugely out of context
Don't say it's funny. It's really not. I'm sure you don't mean it that way but be careful some people might not be as understanding as me.
I love how confident Obama sounded when he announced the success in Libya while Hillary still creeps me out.
You mean Obummer and $hillary Warhawks. I mean they are stupid
And I love how you think this is some kind of popularity contest. In the end Libya got fucked.
Hillary seems oddly unhinged in that clip.
jail
Well trump is about to have his in Iran
Major powers fighting to secure their interests ( Qatar - Saudi Arabia - UAE - Russia - USA - the UK - France ) without any regards to human life (saying they fight for Human rights is just a justification to use deadly force, nothing more )
same happened in Syria, Iraq and currently in Yemen.
-Who will win eventually? not the people that is for sure.
this is the problem in short.
this is an issue in sudan
Venezuela and Iran is next...
@Steven Chernets the problem with the USA is that it ignores what the UN says. Remember the Iraqi invasion? That was declared illegal by the UN, according to the UN charter. The problem with laws is that the powerful ignore or get around it lol This has been true since the beginning of time. The rich and powerful elites make the rules to control the mass.
Type in "instances where USA ignores international law" also. Americans are good at breaking the rules but shine the spotlight on other countries so no one notices them doing it. 😂😂😂
Love the graphics editing of this video.
It really helps to actually see the physical timeline.
I much prefer Phil doing the whole deep dives! I just love listening to him talk
Do you have to synchronize your shirt with videos that go over different days? Do you just set it aside with a post-it note on it or something?

You could probably add Ukraine, Iran and Iraq to the list. But OMG the Russians bought some FB adds.
@Tim Evans Ya, because Libya was ever a threat to America, or any country we've invaded in the past 70 years.
Libya was one of the wealthiest nations in Africa, now it has slave markets and starvation.
All because the US wanted to bring muh freedom there
@@droideca88 All coz the invested interest was there... Funnily enough i remember that Gaddafi had scholarship programs: go get educated but you have to come back here and use that knowledge here at home. I might be wrong.
Nebojsa J no one is starving in Libya bro
@@droideca88 LMAO. You actually think the US wanted to save Libya?
@@KJ-vz7li i dont, they support regime changes under the guise of bringing freedom. Not because they actually want to help them
One thing worth mentioning after Qaddafi disowned Haftar when he was imprisoned and he was freed by the CIA, is that Haftar was actually granted a US Citizenship.
Renegade Generals is the Command and Conquer crossover i didnt know i needed
dont for get the GNA... or rather GLA
He didn’t even address it, but the Chad conflict is also known as the Great Toyota War

Cameron "I correct others spelling" Gillespie
You forgot the main reason America was there... Gadaffi wanted to create a Gold-based currency that would rival the US dollar that Africa would use to sell their oil.
Sean Gregory I heard this as well. Imagine how powerful Africa would be if they did this?
Autumn clarke America’s and Europe’s economy would fall immediately
"we came, we saw, he died, HAHAHAHAAAHAH"
Don't forget who did this..
Don't forget the slave markets
She literally laughed about someone dying.
And she wants to be president.
And people think Trump is terrible.
i mean he was a dictator those are the few types of people where you can celebrate a death because you know someone bad died. though the clip was kind of creepy lol
@@crazyBloodmonkey how many dictators will you clap at being deposed only to cry over how unstable the nation is within months.. the people who helped get rid of Saddam and ghadaffi are also responsible for the deaths and slave markets it led too.. they all deserve the same as ghadaffi, and so do their supporters..
@@crazyBloodmonkey julius caesar was a dictator who brought unity to Rome. Throwing around the word "dictator" is weightless. Gaddafi may have done bad things, but life expectancy and literacy and many other factors sharply improved during his rule.
Fantastic video and the pace is excellent.
If I was watching this on 60 minutes I'd have less than half the information and I'd be dealing with spooky music in the background.
We should've never been involved in Libya. Much like Syria, it was a pointless and worthless endeavour that literally had no goal. It was a failure and will always be a failure. Never should've gotten involved
IIRC, Gaddafi was planning to bring about a Gold backed Dinar which the US didn't want to see happen. Wikileaks released emails mentioning that.
*General Haftar was once employed by the CIA. Phil I'm not sure you know that background. And as African, it's sad that Libya was once a place we were jealous of and many Africans migrated there. They had the highest per capita income in Africa and one of the highest in the world. Then the West removed Gaddafi and since then, Libya became a wasteland and a warring land.*
The Other Side this needs more likes
*People in Charge:* let's help the people and get rid of the current regime cause it sucks
*Also people in charge:* let's help the people and get rid of the current regime cause it sucks without having a follow up plan.
They did have a follow up plan. They largely seized control of Lybian natural resources. Now they won't have to worry about all that oil.
@@LeCheckmate America is a net oil exporter because of fracking. If it was all about the oil, we would've invaded Mexico and Venezuela already. We have like 20 different casus belli against Mexico, and they have a TON of oil and natural resources, so where is the math wrong if it were so simple?
It was just moral grandstanding. Autocratic leaders are automatically bad, no thought given to why they're in power in the first place (the opposition are largely violent extremists, like ISIS, FARC, Tamil Tigers, Muslim extremists, genocidal maniacs, and so on)
@@Skeloperch Why aren't we messing with Venezuela and Mexico? Except that, that's exactly what we're doing with Venezuela. And Mexico? Happens share a massive border that we are terribly inept at managing. It would be super stupid to start conflict with Mexico. Far easier to destabilize and ruin 3rd world countries overseas.
Gaddafi was a dictator, yes, but no where close to the worst. Gaddafi was a member of the UN, and And Libya was stable, until the CIA destabilized it and had him overthrown because he wouldn't let US interests ransack their natural resources. This is what they do, time and time again.
Maxatrillion
The would be angry Mexican militias/cartels can get to US citizens a lot easier than those in Libya, but the US is trying to get into Venezuela
Our buddy Israel also probably doesnt mind having more influence in the ME either, though that plan obviously didnt work out
@@Skeloperch You are currently escalating against Venezuela. And literal war criminal John Bolton is doing what he does best and arming illegitimate rebels under the guise of humanitarian aid. Just like he did in several other south american countries. That's why the Maduro regime was so keen on preventing american aid when they accepted help from Europe, China and Russia without a second thought. They're not as stupid as the american public is.
I'm not even gonna bother with the rest. Just want to make this one point: Nobody asked you to intervene, you have never done so for humanitarian reasons since the Marshall plan and any nations you've been to war with since has suffered horribly. You are a plague on all of humanity.
You created the Taliban, ISIS and Al'Qaida. You are allies with Brunei and Saudi Arabia, the two most extremist muslim countries. 90% of the people you bombed and killed were civilians.
Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Jemen and Lybia were all enjoying far higher standards of living, women's rights and literacy before they USA attacked. You staged coups against the democratically elected Governments in Syria and Iran. Syria then ran towards Russia for help, and you installed a religious extremist dictator in Iran.
Just shut the fuck up. You can't support your foreign policy of the last 70 years.
“Armored personnel carriers” ma’am those are pickup trucks.
USA: “ah shit here we go again”
They didn't show any, but he received a huge number of "Tiger" Armoured carriers from the UAE
Libya : Violent dictator for years, on an international scale trades oil as told, follows directions of oil trade oligarchs, long rule and no problem. Announces will create currency backed with gold value and trade oil for gold instead of US dollars.
US: This is terrorism! Proceeds to fight terrorism, country is left in civil war and in ruin.
The crisis is averted! Oil is now traded in USD, with acceptable casualties and disorder in the country.
@@sirei01 When you say "people don't like those facts" you are more right then you know. There are many people who voted against Clinton when she ran for president because they thought she would do more of this. There is a Democrat primary runner now who's campaign message is that we have to stop the US from doing things like this. Most US citizens hate that the powers that be do this stuff even when damn near the entire population opposes it. Tax payers are paying for corporations private gains. It is unethical and wrong.
Thought the thumbnail said “CHADS IN LIBYA” for a second lol
I shouldn't laugh at this. I really shouldn't.
...but I did.
I’ve been watching you for years Phil and I never usually comment on videos but thank you for this! As a Libyan American, I don’t feel like the general population knows what’s going on in Libya and you did a fantastic job at breaking it down in just 13 min. Thank you for shedding light on what is happening!
Correction Philip none of those places are really talked about in mainstream media.
Cause it doesn't help their narrative. They have to protect dumbasses like Obummer and $hillary.
@@reaperpatriot dont forget cheese puff donald too both sides are corrupt lol.
Am Libyan and you could of not explained it any better good work! May good help Libya
Was Gaddafi really that bad? I heard many people say he was actually not bad for Libya and it would be better if US didn't come to Libya, can you tell me what you think?
Thorough, nuanced presentation of the current situation in Libya. Thank you.
I’m a Libyan and very impressed with how accurate your summary and explanation of the situation in Libya
Hi Phil! I know these sorts of videos that make no mention of celebrities/influencers don't generate as many views for you, but thank you for continually uploading them. They are a lot more important to me and others too.
The sad part about Libya is that in 2013 it was somewhat stable before the Gulf Nations + Turkey kicked off a proxy was in the country that plunged it back into chaos with the second Libyan Civil War
man i was making 1000$ every month, by doing nothing, by far it's my favourite year
Libya wanted to move away from the US dollar as a reserve currency. This is how the US made them pay.
CrazyNikel agreed, and their oil. Take it all, they're weak enough to let it go :D
I love these deep dive videos. It’s hard to keep track everything that happens in the world and a history recaps like these extremely helps
Correction: Title should be "Libya Facing HUGE Crisis after the U.S. overthrew the government and destabilized the country because it was economically beneficial for them...".
The unstable circumstances in Libya didn't come about spontaneously...
Edit: English
The UN said the same stuff about khadafi that they say now about Assad and look what the released documents are now saying about Assad. Just saying...
"Did foreign military intervention with no follow up lead to destabilization of the region?" That's the story of the United States bruh
THANK YOU PHIL THIS WAS SO FANTASTIC THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
Please do more of these on Iran, venesuala etc
Please do a deep dive into what is happening in the Caribbean (Specifically Trinidad and Tobago) and South America with the refugee influx following the situation in Venezuela.
Im from Libya, you explained the situation very well, and just to give a little more information.. There was an agreement in general between the two "governments" for a general election to be held in 2019 with the UN overseeing it to make sure it was fair. But haftar recognising that he will not win, claimed that thete will never be a fair election with militias in Tripoli and broke the peace by attacking Tripoli.
Me personally, i dislike both sides, one is basically a new Gaddafi but with out the charisma and smarts to hold tge country together desperately trying to emulate the Egyptian coupe. The other is semi-democratic semi-saywhatyouwantwewillstillfuckyou type of government,where we have freedom of speech but the amount of corruption is very high...
Hey Philly you had a big fan in Libya yes it's me keep the good work
ليبيا حره🇱🇾
Loving the smooth animation you're using now! They're quite helpful as well. Helps the viewer keep track of what you're saying. Not loving the crisis in Libya tho, but thank you for keeping us updated Phil!
I'm Libyan and I approve this message
Lybia was stable before we went in for their oil, same as everywhere else it's happened. Just search "france & gadaffis" gold if you want to read the reason we were really there.
What you call an armored personnel carrier I would call a datsun with a .50 caliber bolted to the bed of the truck...
FYI. Those "Datsun's" (Are there still some around?) are called "Technicals".
The middle east and Africa definitely warrants more deep dives. The situations there are so incredibly complicated and dynamic.
I'm from Libya and this is a story I wanna share.
I live in a pretty dangerous area in Benghazi and there was a pretty notorious guy with a lot of dangerous friends. He was a gang member yet he managed to enlist in the military and have a badge.
One time he was driving, poking fun at a cop and he kept slandering him and just being a dickhead. The cop got pissed and he pointed his gun telling him to piss off, then suddenly the guy got out with his gun threatening the cop and he had no option but to shoot him, one at the shoulder, and another in his eye, he was announced dead at the hospital.
When the cop new about this later he shot himself, because he knew his friends were going to do something very terrible to him or even his family.
This story is like many others and I think the root of the problem has to be in the Libyans' mentality.
The Terrifying Adventures Of Haftar and Trump!
Episode 1
An Unlikely Friendship?
Talk about Algeria and how civil and peaceful their protests are
True
I am a Libyan citizen how lives in Tripoli,Janzour. I would like to thank you so much for bringing light into this issue as for right now Libya is going threw a very rough time the Libyan citizens are calling it the end of Libya. Kids are hearing missiles like it's the ice cream truck right when they hear a sound of a missile they go outside and look at it smiling of joy cause they got used to all the missiles and they find it amusing. Until know the war hasn't calmed down at all each day Halftar's troops are getting closer to Tripoli but, still every time they get on the doors of Tripoli they get pushed off by the militia forces. However there is a lot of support for haftar from the Libyan citizens as haftar has pushed away a lot of ISIS groups out of the country and people had enough of these militia's running around like they own the place. Most of the citizens though don't want Haftar neither do they want the militia's all they want is a peaceful country. One last thing I personally was bugged out you didn't talk about was how this war effected normal civilians. Libya has a problem with over trafficking you might wonder why as we are only 6 million. yeah we are 6 million but most of the Libyans are all in one place Tripoli which cause's a lot of traffic in the roads and Libyans are inpatient especially now more than ever cause of the holly month of Ramadan everyone is fasting so everyone is at the edge so when a little kid who is 12 year's old goes and shoots a middle aged man cause he caught him off that's the real consequences of war this kid thinks he can kill everyone cause there is no one to stop him this happens everyday since the beginning of Ramadan someone died in the street trying to buy his family the milk the desired then a scumbag goes and shoots him and let's not forget that all the thefts are coming out cause they know no one can stop them as everyone is busy with this war.
Hey Phillip, you should do a video like this one for Honduras. We've been politically unstable since a coup (backed by USA) on 2009. At the moment, there are numerous protests around the country asking for the resignation of our current president Juan Orlando Hernandez. Getting international coverage really helps a small country like ours, where the government controls most of the media outlets.
Thanks for this video, it's really good resume of what and how it hapaned. Keep up with the good quality
a couple of things are miising here, like that Kadafi wanting to get out off the petro dolar, and i think they ignored benghazi
Getting out of the petro dollar is just a myth people created to try and put a motivation for the NATO intervention.
He tried to copy the EU idea for Africa which failed multiple times.
This is an unbelievably brilliant video about Libya! Even by Phil’s standards! Kudos.
Thank you for using your platform to bring attention to issues that truly matter. Thank you for your compassion and concern.
What did we gain from Libya? We don't do things out of the goodness of our hearts. We need their shit or they attacked us
It wasn't so much what they gained but what they stood to gain. Another regional ally, possible air, ground and naval staging area in the med/ Africa, oil contracts and infrastructure contracts (Libya desperately needs to rebuild roads, buildings etc. And the oil money was mostly being squandered) possible military equipment contracts as most of the Libyan military is using cold war Soviet equipment and modified civilian equipment. List goes on.
Prevented the introduction of a Gold-backed Dinar. IIRC, Wikileaks revealed some emails about it.
Great video Phil. Cover Julian Assange next! His future concerns your future as a journalist
Watching people actually get sold, makes me feel such dread.
The first PDS I ever watched was the one covering the story of Gaddafi's death.
My money is on the dictator the UN doesn't have a good record with creating stable democracies in Africa
The UN doesn't have the resources to prevent foreign meddling, especially when instigated by the US.
The og Venezuela. New boss, same as the old boss.
I'm from Misurata, Libya and I wanna thank you for talking about this shit-show I've been trying to escape from my whole life. I support the GNA and let me tell you something and clear things up: The militias from my city are the strongest force in the country and that is why Haftar won't ever be able to take control over the West side. God bless 17/2, we lost many friends and family and won't let it go to waste
Biggest Libyan beautiful bastard of yours, Phil, I love you for this video. Credibility has been key to your success on RUclips for years.
Thank you for your valuable time, inspiration and encouragement.
He was not credible on Afghanistan at all and not in Venezuela as well. It was all US propaganda. Philly D never speaks I'll of the US war mongering military industrial complex that owns all the presidents and most of Congress except progressives like Ilhan Omar, rashida, AOC, Tulsi Gabbard, Bernie Sanders, Gravel and Yang
Please talk about Guyana, same situation but in south America
Now Venezuela needs democracy and freedom, anyone?
As a Libyan I’d say that starting from mid 2014 it all went downhill and it’s the Islamists to blame. They lost two elections fair and square by a landslide since we voted overwhelmingly for the liberals, and if Islamists get democratically defeated they will resort to violence. This is pretty much the default right-wing mindset (at least over here), the end justifies the means. As for Haftar he is also a disaster, we actually somehow managed to gradually get rid of the islamists, contain the militias and improve the economy but his new war brought us back to square one. Having to choose between dictatorship or theocracy is like choosing between AIDS or cancer, we didn’t ask for any of this. And we definitely fought and voted for a liberal democracy.
Hey, loved this. Thank you so much!
Absolutely, NATO is implicated.
Please cover the situation in Honduras!
I’m a Libyan living in Benghazi. The thought of Haftar having complete control of this country is mortifying. Far too aggressive and arrogant to lead a country. But this video is pretty accurate as far as the political situation goes, so thank you.
I'm from Libya but live outside. Ever since Gaddafi died the country has gone to shit and was way too complicated for me to keep up as new things keep on happening. This summed it up really well. Good stuff
Philly D: "shitshow happened"
me: MHA BROTHER !
The first African president in the U.S decimates a North African dictatorship
African Slave Trade grows in said country after its "liberation"
*Surprised Pikachu Face*
African-American. And no both the republicans and democrats have fucked up outside countries.
Throughout history we've seen several attempts at governments intervening and changing other governments to fail because they leader always gets overthrown. How we haven't learned that lesson yet astounds me
Thanks for covering this Phil. I live in Tripoli and to be honest most of haftar forces have been pushed back. In some way the militias here have sort of unified even to go as far as to helping the UN backed government. There is still ongoing battles could hear missiles from my house, but before haftar tried taking over Tripoli things here were calm the militias were starting to separated the government had things going on in 5 years it would have been semi stable. Now though it's a whole different story. Whatever happens with haftar will happen but the thing that scares me is after the haftar incident
its always about resources... why are they silent about Yemen. oh I forgot it's Saudi Arabia our friends.
Thanks America, France, and England. Thank you for re introducing open air slave markets and greatly reducing life expectancy. What amazing freedoms you have brought.
As a Libyan who has been following all of this over the years, I have to say this was actually a really good summary of the situation!
I believe that regardless of the UN intervention this situation was likely to have occurred, as the people have been smothered for 40 years and the younger population had been sick of it. My biggest concern is that Haftar will take over and become a dictator.
Libya has the resources to develop into a great hub in Africa, however, due to Gaddafi's hoarding of wealth, the Country has been stagnant for the last 40 years, this mess will take a generation to correct, unfortunately.
Isn't that the issue every time one nation aggressively intervenes in another nation's affairs? Failing to plan for the day after.
It’s just like the plot of metal gear minus the metal gear

First time watching the new Friday show (rogue rocket). Been a fan of Phil for almost a decade now and I must say I have fallen in love with this man all over again. Fantastic episode and fantastic format.
Finally some real news!
Libyan here: This is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks anyway

Personally I think that Libya was a rare example of a US and coalition military intervention success story.
The provision of strategic air support to the Libyan uprising and the choice to avoid putting troops on the ground allowed the United States to avoid many of the issues faced in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and of course Syria.
They basically said:
Here is this asset (air support) to allow you rebels on the ground to gain the upper hand over an abusive, violent, inhumane government, you deserve your freedom, we'll help you win it, but we're not here for the long haul.
Absolutely an argument can be made that initiating contact in Libya comes with the responsibility to follow through, but that's exactly what had the US and their allies tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How can we determine where to draw the line? Is it okay to help overthrow a dictatorial regime and then leave the fate of the country to those who have to live with it? Do you have to provide further support after involving yourself in a conflict of that nature? Do you have to intervene in the first place?
I don't know the answer to those questions, and I feel for the people who have to make those decisions.
We can't see the future, we can hazard a guess from time to time, but war is too dynamic to ever be perfectly predictable.
Ultimately I believe the United States made the right call in supporting the free Libyan uprising, and I'm glad they didn't get themselves pinned down in another long term boots on the ground commitment.
But at the same time I wonder if the people of Libya are better off now, in chaos instead of brutal control.
Non-interventionism have always been the correct way. I don't care how brutal the situation originally was but, the ultimate responsibility lies with the local population. It's best to lead by example, and if they want change, let them figure out a way to bring it. Although the US didn't get pinned down in the short term, it's involvement paved the way for long term instability, not just for Libya but, potentially across the entire African continent. And now the US have installed numerous (~30) military bases across Africa to deal with this blowback.
Free electricity, water, education, just laws, peace, and high salaries Gaddafi was wonderful not those criminals which you hold in high regard.
Great reporting bro, proud of you
