A passing birdie have just told me that LNA forces fled Tarhouna without battle in a disorderly rout.

Feels to me they are close to collapsing.

Does LNA have a "Plan B" if GNA and Turks will push to the East?

Perhaps Chinese can join the Egyptians, Russians, French and Emiratis to help out.

There is no such "Tarhuna" operation in Libya. With the Volcano of Anger (Burkan al-Gadab) operation, the Libyan state start to clearing coup plotters military junta and UAE-backed mercenaries around Tripoli. Legitimate government has not started an offensive operation so far.

If you call the legitimate government as Turks, we must call the failed coup plotters as Emiratis, French, Egyptian, Russian ... Or if we consider the mood of the 50 cent team here, also they can be call as Chinese... No need to be so upset, its just a few planes that crashed, as the UAE continues to burn oil money, you sell new ones ...

The GNA spokesperson actually said the next target is Sirte, and I'm not sure why they'd stop as seeing LNA is on the verge of collapse.

I think Egypt is rethinking it's strategy and weighing options on whether to throw her weight behind LNA properly and try to turn the ride or look for a deal with Turkey.

That might explain why Egypt hasn't signed a (much worse) deal with Greece yet, even though Greece is on the verge of begging at this point.

The other actors, France can't do much more unless they put boots on the ground. Seeing as how France has huge internal protests still going on id wager they wouldn't want to.

And then there's Russia, she's already stretched thin and is focusing on Idlib which Turkey is also determined to net let fall. Not show how feasible it is for them to try and get 2 big fronts in the current economy as Libya isn't THAT big a deal for them. Also the US underhandedly sent them a message last week so there's that too.

The UAE and KSA don't even matter.

So all in all, unless Egypt decides to go all in I expect huge gains with the GNA and exponential collapse of the LNA in the Future.

Tayyip had to smash Sisi back in 2013, when he could.

Now he has to deal with Sisi led Egypt as a part of a much bigger block with Greece, France, Gulf-Saudi-Israelis.

No free oil money for them, that's the message?

IMO the plan is to entice Sarraj to go after Eastern Libya at which point France drafts UNSC resolution the way France drafted UNSC resolution when Gaddafi went after Easter Libya in February 2011. If France enters the war, Tripoli government falls within months and Sarraj gets killed by Eastern Libyans the way Gaddafi got killed by Eastern Libyans. France historically sides with the oppressed. Eastern Libya has been oppressed by Western Libya for decades, which is the reason France entered the war in 2011 on the side of the Benghazi government against the Tripoli government.

Libya is Turkey, and Turkey is Libya....

Turkey is getting back what was taken away from her by the petty thieves....

The rest doesn’t even count...

Turkey should take back Egypt, Israel, Greece, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq which were once part of Turkey.

France sided with the American rebels during the American revolution didn't it? :oops:


Western Libyans oppressed Eastern Libyans for decades. So every revolution in Libya starts in Eastern Libya.
