Libyan Civil War Megathread

[Caliga]

Look at those fucking hipsters.

The front line advanced almost to Sirte before the rebel attack fell apart due to squabbling over whether Tripolitanian labneh was better than Cyrenaican labneh.

The Lion of the North awakes!

Sweden Fights On?

Hey! Where did my Arcade Fire CD go?

We should design a game, a sequel if you will, covering Swedish military history from 1814 to 1848. We can call it..

Sweden Remains Neutral

Or a game where you play Swedish industrialists and compete to see who can collaborate with the Nazis the most.

I agree. Finally, there'd be a consim that I could play and actually not lose for once.

[Tamas]

Great surprise. These "rebels" are little more than armed arab rabble, and little more effective in achieving their goals than european AFA style anarchists.

A drunken horde of football hooligans would've done far more damage under the cover of NATO airstrikes than this haphazard gaggle of untermenschen.

I agree.

There was big talk over how even the army there is organized on tribal grounds. How come none of the units switched sides en masse? Or is this also the level of discipline of an arab tyrant's army? Pathetic.

We're going to end up with Western boots on the ground in Libya soon.  Not a question of it, but when, and who's a big enough sucker to take the initiative.

Too mainstream.

My bet is that Sarkozy will send his elite foreign mercenary death squads within a week.

I'm thinking France as well.  So that means within like a month that Gadhafi will be in Paris and some old French guy will be caught crying again.

France. It remains to be seen who he suckers into it.
Probably not the US, besides a few "hush-hush" type operations.

Why though? Why go in?  It is an internal matter, and our airstrikes have proven ineffective.  Even if NATO did go in it would probably be the fucked up stuff we had in the Balkans or Rhuanda.

Yeah, that guy.  OMG is he still alive?
