In the big picture, when the first Arab Spring protests happened in Libya in February 2011, NATO forces largely led by US airpower, took less than a week to attack the Gaddafi regime, bombing Libyan cities into rubbles within weeks. From Afghanistan to Iraq and Syria and then Libya, all in a mere 10 years, had been perhaps a little too much for the Allies to handle. Later, Haftar visited both Merkel and Macron, seemingly for “ceasefire” talks. Then how are they both in the same camp in Libya now, unless Russia is stealing again? Rather it seems like a geopolitical move to expunge Libya of Western interests first and later decide upon the bounties.
