I agree with @rBush that invasions by some NATO forces, at the behest of their respective nations' oil and gas industries (and of course their financial backers), have created a miserable situation for people in Libya and for many throughout MENA.
And now to further compound problems, Putin, in attempts to further enrich his oil and gas industries, has Russia involved in Libya.
Asakaze
To clean up the mess, left by Obama, the Nobel prize winner.
Nice touch to call a destruction of a country and death of dozens of thousands of people "miserable situation". It's not a "situation", it is a major crime worth a Hague trial.

I agree.
So they'll be better able to expand Putin and his oligarch's oil and gas holdings. Spare me the Russians are good guys in this. Or in Syria. Or anywhere else. Russia's no different from the US or any other world power when it sends its forces to other countries in attempts to secure greater control of that nation's resources. Only the most jingoistic of any nation believe their country is always right. Or their paid employees.

Not correct. Russians in Syria at the request of the lawful government. Russians did not invade Syria at a deceitful pretext, unlike the US - in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria.
All right, name one country that Russia invaded or stayed against the will of local populace.
Not correct, there is a big difference. Russians do not have the nasty habit of using military power whenever they like. You stubbornly confuse a resolute but peaceful foreign policy (nothing wrong with it, I'd like Japan to defend its interests as resolutely as Americans and Russians do) with military aggression.

Libya was one of the most better places in Africa before nato. Then bombed, oil stolen, people trafficking, al quieda...many Africans came there for work. Now they are slaves.well done nato.
