Libya:

The call for the Russian leadership to support Italy’s efforts to hold a conference in Palermo on November 12-13 on the unification of Libya following the confrontation between Rome and Paris is evidence of the importance of the problem for the EU.
Who Leads Haftar: Interests Of European States And Russia In Libya Are Diametrically Opposed
https://southfront.org/who-leads-haftar-interests-of-european-states-and-russia-in-libya-are-diametrically-opposed/

It seems it is not worth it for Moscow to take any position in the Libyan crisis. On the one hand, there are topics for the development of relations with Paris and Rome, but it is much more important to maintain the dynamics of bilateral relations with Cairo and Abu Dhabi. Previous events in Libya and the experience of the west’s peacekeeping efforts heave no illusions about the reality of any mediation.
It is much better to stay above the fray, correcting the position solely in non-public sectors.

Thus, London and Washington are extremely not interested in strengthening Moscow’s military presence in Libya. This is evidenced by the information attack of the British press in October regarding the presence of the Russian military in this country, specifically “oil interests”. In fact, Moscow does not need the presence of a united Libya in the hydrocarbon market. Such a scenario can radically change the situation thereon from a point of view of increasing the volume of production.
This, of course, is useful for lowering gasoline prices in the US and for President Trump, but not for Russia.

It is much more effective to observe how western countries are trying to overcome the crisis created by themselves, which hits their pockets and creates domestic political risks in the continuation of the migration crisis. For the situation to remain in the interests of Moscow, no military operations are needed.
It is enough not to interfere with the US and its allies to “bury” themselves in Libya, where they very successfully are succeeding.

I have to agree.

The article is thorough/exhaustive... I got tired of reading through it.
My basic impression is that it's a political clusterfuck.. a complete quagmire of competing interests by oligarchical interests... continuing chaos by greedy mutherfuckers.
I feel sorry for the civilians.. humanitarian impacts.. like Yemen and Syria.
The entire planet is heading the way of Libya if the hegemons have their way. Russian cannot 'save' everybody.
I agree w/ this commenter:

Take a good look at Libya, world. This is the coming state of affairs for the world, as the US/NATO countries all try to control the spoils. Haftar is supported by the CIA and it's minions, no wonder pro-Gaddafi groups don't trust him. This a classic example of chaos, wherein the creators of such, continue to promote distrust and infighting, while vying for their own interests and even more booty. This was also supposed to be the fate of Syria.

BREAKING: Trump spars with reporters at press conference, tells several to sit down, calls another `rude, terrible person'
lost control of the house... then lost control of himself.

The above is symbolic of so much I don't know what to pick from/which to choose.
so tragic and so predictable as money and pride rules... morality decays... and respect/honor dies.

cant believe people voted for this guy and his party.
It is really sad.

I was very unpopular elsewhere for not being on the Trump Train. He's a reprehensible person and I saw through his bullshit. The US is (unfortunately) reaping what it has sewn.
