    Europe has nothing to do with Yemen on either side. I also don’t see why Libya is relevant, they’ve been a fucked up country for decades internally, with civil war and crazy leaders like Gaddafi. Sahel is a huge belt in Africa, and I have no idea what you mean with France behaving badly there lately?

    Sorry but here you lost me completely?!

        That’s just wrong, Libya was in a civil war as I described, and Europe tried to go in to stabilize the situation. Inability to solve the problem of another country has nothing to do with colonialism or not respecting the sovereignty of that country. It was a humanitarian crisis that Europe tried to end.

        This is not ignorance on my part, I even mentioned this situation, it is a complete abuse of a crisis to make a part that tried to help look bad.
        Shame on you. 😡

          We were allies of Gaddafi, we broke our pact, attacked him and allowed his murder. He may not have been the best ruler, but the country was stable. Look at Libya now and tell me whether they are doing better than before.

          They were not in civil war; they had protests and the government had strongly repressed the protests killing people. Protestants formed and uprising and there intervened EU countries.

          This was not against international law, but we did attack an ally of ours, which does not speak very well about the reliability of European countries.

            but the country was stable

            Not in 2011 it wasn’t. And the assassination of Gadaffi was 100% on USA.
