You are aware that intervention in Libya was driven by France and UK far more than the US, right? In fact, part of the goal of the intervention in Libya was to demonstrate that Europe didn't need to rely on the US to tackle security concerns in its immediate backward--even if that demonstration was a failure.
- pphysch 3y agoYes, I am aware of that, and that it doesn't affect my argument. Washington was still a huge fan of and participant in that brutal unprovoked invasion that saw slave markets return to Libya. Washington did lead the unprovoked illegal invasions of Iraq and Syria, which had more of an impact on the refugee crisis. So again: where are the examples of coalition members getting their way in spite of Washington's interests?
