A shock call from President Trump to head of the “Libyan National Army,” Khalifa Hafter, praising him for keeping the oil safe in eastern Libya, has upended US policy. Now the US supports both the UN-appointed government in Tripoli and Hafter’s forces fighting against it. What’s it all about? Iran, sanctions, Saudi Arabia, oil, and Israel. Who wins in this international proxy war…? Tune in to the Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Trump, doing what Republicans have been doing best for the last 40 years: running government ham-fistedly in order to prove that big government is evil.
France and the US backs Hafter while Italy and the UN backs Tripoli. It’s almost the same BS as WWII, with colonial powers fighting over Libya’s resources while simply ignoring its people as if they were just animals.
The Saudi and the Emirate regimes told him!
By the Hafter is using is left hand to salute in the above picture, and that’s not how the Libya military salute.Is there something wrong with his right arm?
Someone mirror-imaged the photo. That’s why the ribbons are on the wrong side as well. Here’s the original:
