    Libya and Empty Promises

    "US President Donald Trump’s gyrating foreign policy has just set the stage for another catastrophe in the eastern Mediterranean region. America’s waning influence on the world stage comes at the most inopportune time. When regional powers flex their muscles like Turkey is trying to, no good will come for a world of people already stressed to the limit over pandemics and civil strife. Just when America should be a guiding lite for peaceful negotiations, internal forces seem to be obliterating such a legacy. Our policy is in the toilet, here’s the latest proof. According to sources, President Trump and Turkish President Recep Erdogan have come to terms on how Libya should be run. More importantly, the US leader seems to have given the green light for Turkey to step up military and geopolitical influence across the region. Here on the island of Crete, in the flight path of Turkish jets, the Greeks are not happy. Recent threats by Erdogan have the Greek armed forces on high alert. And NATO’s bulwark Greece is expecting Trump’s support?"............."So, at the end of the day what should the world expect from Trump’s America? Nothing. The rest of the world is justified in only fearing what the dying hegemony can and will do militarily, corporately, and in the interest of the western world order that’s dominated the world the last seventy-five years. We’re entering a very dangerous time though, make no mistake. Still, world leaders would be well advised to take any policy or deal the US makes, with that proverbial grain of salt. Who knows what to believe anymore? ...................https://journal-neo.org/2020/08/03/l...mpty-promises/

    The US is not the major player in Libya. Obama never should have let Liberal War Hawk Susan Rice talk him into killing Gadhafi.

    The US doesn't have much interest in Libya these days.

    The US has a habit of doing that .....destroying a country , then losing interest when there's not much left to destroy.

    As usual , it's about the oil. The bulk of Libya's oil goes to US and UK ........the world's two biggest international free-loaders on global resources.
