The Euro-American attack on Libya has nothing to do with protecting anyone; only the terminally naive believe such nonsense.

In the 1930s the US, Great Britain, and the Netherlands set a course for World War II in the Pacific by conspiring against Japan. The three governments seized Japan’s bank accounts in their countries that Japan used to pay for imports and cut Japan off from oil, rubber, tin, iron and other vital materials. Was Pearl Harbor, Japan’s response?

Britain forced apology from Libyans

Posted by seumasach on April 7, 2011

TEL AVIV – The Western “military option” in Libya has turned into a military fashion show of questionable merit. In order to believe this, we need not take the word of American and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) defense officials – many of whom, such as Pentagon chief Robert Gates and NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen, have been singing the “there is no military solution” refrain practically since the beginning of the intervention.

Medvedev’s Blunder

4th April, 2011

Russia is different. The Americans, the British, the French by and large approve of their forces’ Libya bombing spree (yes, some doubt whether it’s good value for their tax money). The Russians are flatly against it, without ifs and buts. The Russian Ambassador in Tripoli Vladimir Chamov came back to hero welcome in Moscow. President Dmitri Medvedev dismissed him publicly after the Ambassador had sent him a cable. In the five-points cable leaked to the press, the Ambassador called Medvedev’s response to Libya crisis “betrayal of Russian national interests”.  (Later, the two sides climbed down a bit: the Foreign Office said Chamov was not “fired”, just “called back” from Tripoli, and that he retains his ambassadorial rank and salary, while Chamov denies he used the word “betrayal”.)

Les mots ont-ils encore un sens ? En lisant des articles sur la guerre de Libye dans la presse anglo-saxonne et italienne, Domenico Losurdo a été frappé par l’inversion des signifiés. La propagande de l’OTAN, comme celle imaginée par George Orwell dans son célèbre roman d’anticipation, passe d’abord par un grossier trucage sémantique.

Whatever will be the outcome of this conflict, Italy has already lost the Libyan campaign. The Italian government celebrated the 150 years of Italian unification with a stunning reversal on Libya. By joining the military aggression against its former colony, Italy is waging war against its own interests. Eurasia editor Daniele Scalea, analyzes Italy’s incredible collision course with herself to retain her Atlanticist credentials..
