Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.

    It was done because he was giving a cut of the wealth to the masses instead of to neocolonial powers

    No, a no fly zone was instated because Gaddafi was ordering air strikes on his own citizens, to the extent that his own representative to the UN asked for the no fly zone:

    21 February 2011: Libyan deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Ibrahim Dabbashi called “on the UN to impose a no-fly zone on all of Tripoli to cut off all supplies of arms and mercenaries to the regime.”

    Are you going to continue just making things up?

      Yes, the US which is the largest drone striker in the world and where it is explicitly legal for the president to kill US citizens without trial went in with a moral imperative because of air strikes.

      Even if the Spanish sabotaged the USS Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin wasn’t made up, and WMD were in Iraq, the cassi belle are not the structural reasons why the invasions happened. You’re being intentionally credulous because you think US empire benefits you. It doesn’t.

        Yeah to be honest I’m a bit done with your mixture of fact and deliberate fiction to try to assist your ideology.

        Here is an actual factual paper on the reasons for the Libyan invasion

        There are plenty of discussion points for you without needing to sprinkle in fiction for good measure.

          So did you actually read those links lmao? Because if you did you have to acknowledge you were wrong about what you’ve said in this thread and I was mostly correct according to your links.

              Yes, that is literally why I brought it up. Is there some subtext to this response I’m missing?
