    I’m writing, not speaking, but yes, I read what I write as it is being written.

    “Bombed the country to ashes”. What a hot take, considering it was the largest operation of guided munitions in history. Next you’ll trot out the disproven 500,000 civilians killed figure. The country is in shambles now because they never achieved a unified government in the decade since the death of Gaddafi. The only thing NATO truly reduced to ashes was the Gaddafi compound.

    So the UAE put guys on the ground but you’re claiming that is a NATO issue? Weird. Also no, that didn’t go against the resolution. It specifically states occupation forces, which special forces are not.

    The 1970 resolution also contains no mention of what you claim in regards to intervention. I would suggest you reread both so you can familiarize yourself with the facts you are attempting to distort.

    So was it a NATO war or a civil war? You can’t say the rebels wouldn’t have won without NATO assistance and also insinuate NATO started it. Perhaps you should worry less about my “western propaganda” and hop off whatever BRICS-sponsored train you’re riding. I’m begging you.
