Yes, Obama and US is responsible for everything that goes on in the world and has to occupy every country that does something we don't approve of, even if it has no bearing on our well being.
They'e responsible when they fuck things up... Jesus, are you people so far up your own partisan ass that you can't see what the us govt doing is wrong? If Black Jesus did it, it's okay. Obama good, Trump bad. A child is more nuanced than this.

Obama is no saint, but I'm curious how you would rationalize this into somehow excusing Trump. At least Obama was trying to do a good thing instead of killing elephants or removing national parks for liberal tears.

Not Obama alone, all of NATO combined to topple Gaddafi. I believe that Libya was the richest per capita country in Africa pre-war, it's GNP is now less than half what it was under Gaddafi and shrinking every year. On the failed state index, it is in neighborhood of Zimbabwe.

Compare that to Zimbabwe:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_Zimbabwe

So you're saying that a 32% inflation rate is almost the same as a 79,600,000,000% inflation rate?
It is a mess there, but nowhere near as bad as Zimbabwe.

African slaves 'mutilated and cooked like kebabs' by Libya gangs
  • Slave markets have sprung up in Libya following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
  • Sub-Saharan African migrants heading for Europe are captured by gangs and exploited.
Is genocide and slavery better than the rule of a dictator? This is the "cost of freedom" that too few people speak of. The direct consequences of European and American meddling in Africa and the Middle East. We topple stable governments and replace them with terrorism.

You screamed Gaddafi was terrible because people were dying. WTF do you think they're doing now?
And you wanted the same for Syria because of Assad. We did the same to Iraq because of Saddam.
At some point you've got to realize it is usually better to make deals with the devil you know.
