I expected all these questions before opening this thread and analyze being passive toward Libya. I have thought of your questions before and they are very reasonable.
Your answers are hidden in these question:
- Is the only way of being active having troops and spending money?
- What if a third country pays more than what you spend?
- How much was the cost of facing Sudanese in Yemen? How about losing port Sudan and the Red Sea?
- What do we share in common with Venezuela that justifies being there?
Finally:
-By just looking to be prepared to involve in Libya and without even doing it, you have an extra card against many others. Even if you have no plan to get involved, look prepared.
Please think about the last one, at least. If you don’t, you will look drained out and exhausted from Syria.
No, we don't have to have troops in Libya, but we have to have loyal forces in Libya. Who wants to be our loyal force there? Our best cards in the region have been based on anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiments. Yeah, you can find many people with those sentiments in Libya, but are they ready to fight and get killed for it?
We didn't face the Sudanese in Yemen. The Houthis did. The Sudanese aren't the only mercenaries Saudi Arabia has hired in Yemen. There are Pakistani, Indian and even Latino mercenaries in Yemen too. Should we now plan something for those countries too?
What we share with Venezuela is anti-American sentiments. Venezuelans are ready to pay the price for those sentiments as they decided to stop being one of the richest countries in Latin America and in the world and move toward independence. You know it well that there's a history of anti-American sentiments deeply-rooted in the Latin American culture, way before the 1979 revolution happened in Iran.
Now what's your suggestion? What are our options in Libya? Reliable options.
