The other parts of the problem deserve mentioned here, because they are extremely problematic and eclipse present environmental crisis and strategy.
Syrias civil war began after billions of dollars where somewhat clandestinely spent on fomenting violent revolution there - https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/lawmakers-move-to-curb-1-billion-cia-program-to-train-syrian-rebels/2015/06/12/b0f45a9e-1114-11e5-adec-e82f8395c032_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/lawma...
Libyas security collapsed after its infrastructure, including its world class irrigation system was bombed out under the guise of implementing 'no fly zone'
- M_Grey 10y agoHow dishonest can you get? Would you like to explain why Libya was an issue at that time, and not in the preceding decades?
- strainer 10y agoDishonest? I do not know why violent revolution was fomented in Syria or have a reasonable explanation why Libya was bombed. You should explain your comment.
- M_Grey 10y agoYou seem to be claiming that bombing in Libya started the instability in Libya, rather than the reality which is that it was a result of that instability. I suspect you know that however, because again... dishonesty.
- strainer 10y agoIt is not clear that Libya was on the verge of collapse before Nato bombed it. It is not clear that the US is not on the verge of collapse with the terrible state of their current election - but it IS clear that bombing and funding violent revolutionary forces within it would not help anything. No I am not the one making two sentence cryptic and insulting, dishonest accusations.
- M_Grey 10y agoWho said anything about "verge of collapse"? You, just now, and that's it. I'm done with this.
- strainer 10y agoI did in the comment which triggered you to repeatedly call me dishonest! If you wont substantiate your accusation properly you are the one being dishonest. What deception are you charging me of? - by my pointing out the European migrant crisis is caused by wars which our policy makers are highly complicit in waging. The european migration crisis is entirely the cause of people fleeing violent conflict - not weather. If we wont stop attacking people, we wont stop wrecking the environment.
