Correct. Vulture oil corporations have their nation's militaries and even their own private militias fighting for shares of another nation's resources. This includes 'western' and Gulf nations, Turkey, China, among others.

I've read several of the Russian Federation's state controlled oil and gas corporations are there, backed by one of the Federation's mercenary forces. (check Yandex/Google)

Conservation and alternatives to burning so much oil and gas.

No more wars for oil. And gas.

US presidents don’t order NATO to do anything. That’s not how NATO functions.

Hence Libyan citizens were amongst the richest in Africa, being able to afford to send their children to study abroad.

Now their country is a Mad Max zone.

If Libya was such a Utopia before the people ousted Gaddafi, why were people sending their children abroad?

Why are other countries there including Russians*

Ask Obama and Clinton.

That answers the question why they can be there, but still doesn't answer the question why they are there
