Plenty of money for bombs,

not a dime for these poor people

I completely agree. EU nations, especially Italy, France, Spain and the UK, plus their oil companies, and the US under Obama and its oil companies, have to answer to this.

Russian oil-igarchs are getting oil from Libya now; how many rubles are they giving these poor people? Not the oil company owners, generals and warlords, but the 'poor people'.

The countries that broke Libya need to stand up; so do those currently profiting there.

According to this (and other articles), Russian forces are in Libya and taking sides, like in Syria. Once more to benefit Russian oil-igarchs?

Best way to stop the boat people is to blockade all the southern Mediterranean countries and force the refugee laden boats back to their shores, offload them and then scuttle the boats. No boats, can't swim, no problem in Europe. Let Libya deal with them. Oh and if Libya does nothing, stop buying their oil.

posters seem to think of Libya as a country. it is a fragmented mess caused by afore mentioned european countries. Gadaffi turned into a good boy, giving up nukes and setting up Africa's best welfare system and prosperity. all smashed. Unfortunately such countries need strong but evil leaders to function. When the Taliban came into power in Afghanistan, opium was eradicated and people finally could live in peace. all smashed. When Saddam was in power, the multicultural, religiously mixed country lived in a balance, although not perfect. All smashed. these three examples all have a common denominator.

the infix of refugees is a hard topic involving past colonial enterprises, corruption, mineral, human and resource exploitation, religious intolerance, slavery and trafficking, effects of global warming, famine, depiction of the west as a place where it literally rains money, geopolitical politics and military rule, crime, war, human right abuse, rich nations proxy wars, unacceptable levels of education and health, and greed.

in the mean time the onslaught of migrants will continue...
