- jessaustin 8y agoEveryone in Libya was better off before USA and some random Europeans interfered there.
- Nomentatus 8y agoThere's been a lot of chaos, but it started before the U.S. intervened, as I remember. The U.S. and European footprint has been very light - maybe, as in Syria, way too light to create order.

- lostlogin 8y agoI can tell if you’re joking or if I’m misunderstanding (there is a typo in there I assume?). You can’t name any other country that would be better off if the US hadn’t meddled? I can name more than that which my country meddled in and made a mess, and I’m from New Zealand.
- Nomentatus 8y agoI'm from Canada, and we suffer from U.S. nonsense and exploitation (which cost me a brother, actually), but you have to be next to somebody, and they're above average as neighbors, in this world.
- phyller 8y ago> but you have to be next to somebody Unless you are New Zealand :D
- Nomentatus 8y agoIf you prefer I'll change "next to" to "nearest", since I didn't mean to imply contiguity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%E2%80%93New_Zealand_relations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%E2%80%93New_Zealand_...
