Uh, this seems huge. If I understand correctly, he's saying that the Manchester bomber was part of a group that Theresa May and her party explicitly cultivated in the UK? Isn't that loving massive?

The piece has very little fact, a lot of opinion and reeks of the kind of truther bullshit you saw when people were saying Bush was behind 9/11 or let it happened.

The whole part about the Salafist Militia's inventing the very real threat of genocide in Libya is absolutely hillarious. You only have to look to Syria to see how real the threat of massacres and genocide is when you see rebels and freedom fighters supported by locals go up against Arab Nationalists.

The people defending Gaddafi and Al-Assad are not your's or anyone's friends. They do not have the interests of the world in their best interests. They aren't leftists. The whole Syrian war is a loving violent uprising of the lower classes who were literally starved during a famine against the ruling family - who are basically royalty.

how have you read that into it? what's going on in your brain right now? Do you think mi5 aren't cultivating terrorists? because that's not "opinion". Do you think the bombing was not preventable? that's controversial.

You've smeared a piece because of the spin (backed by the UN) as you see it. You've challenged absolutely none of the points it raised.

e; do you think that, despite every possible expert opinion available disagreeing with this, the libya intervention has made libya or the world safer?

I do challenge the points it's raised. I challenge the idea that Gaddafi was taken out because he didn't want to use dollars for his money. I challenge the idea that Gaddafi would not have massacred tens of thousands of his own citizens just as we have seen other rich arab nationalists do throughout the history of the Middle East. Just as we have seen in Syria.

The article comes off as a leftist defending Gaddafi. But Gaddafi is no leftist. He is equal to what Chavez and Maduro are in Venezuela. Corrupt Kings; who use the money made off oil to benefit their family and friends while killing anyone who opposes them. They're dictators, they don't give two fucks about the poor, or your class struggle. They just want power.

The left lets itself be lead by Putin and his power hungry Fascist comrades straight into the barrel of the gun with the pied-piper tale of " modern imperialism" and "Yankee Gringos de Mierda."

The saddest thing is that you let it work.

And don't worry mate. If Putin had you standing between him and a million dollars of power he'd kill you with his loving bare hands.

Define expert opinion. Would the world be safer without the Libya intervention?

Would the world be safer with a Libya conflict the size of the Syrian one? Which has created 2 million Refugees. Destabilized the middle east, created fertile breeding grounds for terrorism worldwide?

The Libyan conflict turning into a full torn civil war would of destabilized Egypt, Algeria, and potentially Morocco. Would have created a massive refugee and humanitarian crisis that was imminently greater to Europe than the Syrian one. Libya is much closer to Europe then Syria. You can reach Italy, France and Spain by boat. They are very close by. Imagine millions of people trying to cross the Mediterranean during a 6 year civil war like the Syrian one and how that would of affected politics .

The Libya conflict as it was handled saw little bloodshed, and minimal refugees.

Let us not forget Kosovo and the Balkans. When Europe denied and Balked at the idea of Bill Clinton intervening to prevent the genocide of Muslims. Muslims were not "part of european culture" and did not deserve protection from genocide he was told by the leaders of England, France, and Spain.

So, it doesn't really matter if you intervene and something bad happens any time later you'll be called names.

If you don't intervene and something much worse happens you'll be called imperialist.

Well I know which war did not cause a massive 6 year civil war or refugee crisis.

If you ask me Obama and the west should of intervened in Syria and killed Bashar Al-Assad earlier.

He asked Congress to give him the power to do that and they did not. They have blood on their hands of every man, women, and child killed in this genocide of a immoral war against the poorest of the poor. And every leftist who avoids intervention due to "imperialism" has that same blood on your hands.

If we are to be the moral leaders of the world we can not stand by idly and allow women and children to be massacred by powerful fascist sycophants no matter where on earth it is.


And that's why europeans are a bunch of cucks and pussies. Because they are unwillign to ever intervene to save peoples lives due to fear of blowback. gently caress you. gently caress Al-Assad. gently caress Putin. And gently caress any leftist who enables his bullshit. To the ends of the god damned earth.

Are you deranged?


Your idea of leftists worldwide is so ridiculously far from the truth it's unbelievable, and you can't get past your own prejudices to challenge the fundamental question. Is the world better? You don't need to educate us on what a monster gaddafi is. We know. There's a reason the only "leftist" media voices on the planet you can appear to recall are deranged putinists and it's certainly not a lack of alternative.

You really hate the left and you have no idea what it is, sorry.

Are you deranged? I'm not the one who linked to a interview with a Russian Mouthpiece. They control and manipulate the media across the world just as much as conservatives do.

If America and Europe are to be a shining city upon the hill, a bastion of multiculturalism and acceptance they must prevent death and genocide by insane dicators and hate world wide.

That means Libya, that Means Syria, that means Kosovo, that means Rwanda, that means Darfur. Europe and the United States bears the blood of these innocent on their hands as do their voters be the left or the right - and they will until the day they die. When you do die, you will be placed before God Almighty and judged for your action and inaction upon these events. Your soul will be found wanting and you will be cast into the firey pits of hell for all you have done and for which you deserve..

Good day.

I'm super willing to intervene I just don't want to hand a country to ISIS afterwards, you insufferable cretin.

The answer was no, btw.


you literally don't even understand what I'm arguing here

we should have intervened in libya. We should not have left the country in a wreck. You are a terrorist enabler.

Oh I agree. We should of invested millions in rebuilding Libya.

Let's just ask the Republican controlled Congress and Senate to approved funds....

Lol you simpleton.

Highlight:

Man your political aparatus is quaint and cute compared to the us. Considering someone is going out there and doing this level of post-mortem and naming names.

Here our political campaigns have billion dollar budgets, thousands of staff, and life-long career professionals running them.

This is interesting. Labour ahead with people of all employment status except retired.

Reinforces the message that the Tories aren't the party of the workers they pretended to be, they're just the party of the old.

To win the labour party needs to figure out a way to get the Tories to go after retirement benefits...
