5 years ago, the civilizing of the West killed Gaddafi and Libya. It was the peak of their power. Russia could not afford to throw an open challenge to the NATO military machine to protect and the proud Colonel.
Then, 5 years ago, the Russian army were not restored and our country is not so strong to stand up for another victim, sent to the altar of democracy. It would be a false start on our part. Even worse — it would be the self-revelation are certainly less strong and untrained fighter, risking to miss the Goliath a fatal blow. NATO in any case would be criminal operations for the destruction of Libya — with or without resolution.
To stop them could only direct military presence of Russia in Libya, now in Syria. But it would lead to the outbreak of the current confrontation with the United States five years earlier. It was too dangerous a risk for Russia, which Putin could not go. Even in Syria, we delayed the intervention until recently. And only the Ukrainian crisis, when the United States dropped all the pieces off the Board, forced Moscow to take a call without a final preparation for the 2020.
In 2012, Gaddafi killed by American terrorists, and Russia clenched his fists from anger and prepared to fight. In 2014 in the Crimea, new gorgeous Russian army showed itself to the world, and in 2015 began to thrash American men with beards in Syria. It seems that between these events, much time has passed for history is second. But it was not enough to rescue the Colonel of Libya.
Muammar, I’m sorry. But we remember you as a hero and avenge your killers, in defiance of the “Empire of liberty” and protecting the new victims of “democracy”. Victory will be ours.
