If you can swallow that big lie then you must have a great time in the bath houses with Oswallower
In 2016, near the conclusion of his second term, President Barack Obama was asked by Chris Wallace about his greatest mistake as president. Obama didn’t hesitate to respond. He said his “worst mistake” was “probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya.”
Five years earlier, a coalition of NATO members, led by France, Britain, and the United States, intervened in the Libyan civil war and overthrew the government of Muammar Gaddafi. This resulted in Gaddafi’s death and the transformation of Libya into a failed state, a condition that persists thirteen years later, which has resulted in an ongoing civil war, countless deaths of civilians, and a humanitarian and refugee crisis. The US-led intervention in Libya was strategically misguided and ultimately harmful, providing a cautionary example for future US foreign policy. It would have been a better option for the United States to have done nothing than to trigger such a calamitous descent into chaos.
The US-led intervention that overthrew Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 is the direct cause of Libya becoming a failed state. If the goal was simply to overthrow a tyrant, it achieved that. If the goal was to put an end to the ongoing Libyan civil war, or to alleviate the suffering of civilians, or to transform a dictatorship into a democracy, or to demonstrate that Western military power could be a force for good in the world — all goals claimed by the Western powers involved — then it failed disastrously.
