"Libya has not only failed to evolve into a democracy; it has devolved into a failed state. Violent deaths and other human rights abuses have increased severalfold. Rather than helping the United States combat terrorism, as Qaddafi did during his last decade in power, Libya now serves as a safe haven for militias affiliated with both al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The Libya intervention has harmed other U.S. interests as well: undermining nuclear nonproliferation, chilling Russian cooperation at the UN, and fueling Syria’s civil war.

I find this thread comical since the guy that got us into 2 wars that we have been fighting for well over a decade was George W Bush, and any criticism of his decision to get us into those wars was met with “you must be a traitor and terrorist sympathizer.” And, yes, I initially supported the decision to go into those wars. After we had been over there 2 or 3 years, not so much…
Do you know what this guy did? He was supplying EFPs and teaching Iraqis how to make them. Killing him has done nothing to change that. Killing him did nothing to make the world more peaceful.
Yes indeed they’re all in the pocket of the military establishment and the military industrial complex industries who make arms and military equipment etc. President Trump is the anti-war President and that doesn’t sit well with with those groups and that’s why there are high ranking current and ex generals & admirals that come out against him. Thankfully there are many more troops who support Trump then there are high ranking generals who don’t.
And because the world hates you, the next Woodward tape has Trump bragging that he saved the Saudi crown prince from consequences for murdering Khashoggi.
