Its a geopolitical tool

Geopolitical tools are always important

Global Empires need to keep themselves alive you know

America doesnt rely upon the strait to get its oil

Idk about you but control over trade routes will always be useful

not just cause of oil

@Despot Romanicus the Enslaver don't disagree but the petrodollar argument was always a bit off to me.

The strait only matters for oil not for trade

General trade bypasses it

China controlling the south china sea is an infinately more important problem for the US

why would america bomb libya just after they pushed for the gold dinar
why would america invade iraq just after they announced that they would trade oil in euros

@vexmasina44 a little country in the middle east with no friends?

Geopolitical adventurism

More Power is always a good reason

Libya wasnt going to upend the economic model of the world

Saddam launched SCUDs at it

cause they hate brown people?

If you can take it with minimal adverse consequences for you, why not

You wouldnt cause the biggest humanitarian crisis over some adventurism

The elites benifitted from that crisis

@vexmasina44 neocons, am I right?

>Elites care about the mob

why wouldnt they

Also Gaddafi threatened Europe about somethign economcially if I recall

Hence why EU wanted to flatten them

The immigration crysis of 2015 was the biggest success for the right wing parties in entire western europe

And it still did fuck all for them outside of the eastern bloc

do you feel like your winning>?

The corporates are still sitting on their gilded office chairs

the right wing is using the unwashed brown masses as Mace to batter the heads of lefty libtards

Gaddafi threatening Europe economically. I'm not sure I buy that

Remember, it is the corporates who are really in charge

How would they do it?

Let me find @McFansy

They should get a bigger mace because they arnt hitting all that many if you look at their election numbers

Victories take time
the left is getting weaker by the year

Tbh Iraq already kinda made itself out to the be enemy of the world so no one really cared when it got invaded by everyone. Politically a safe invasion and Geopolitically one worth doing

They could unleashed millions of migrants from Africa onto the shores of Europe....Oh wait that was after Gaddafi got a knife enema

You dont invade nations and wast biullions over some trivial reason

not even neocons are that stupid

lol for them it wasn't trivial
