    It seems they also have a tendency to consider NATO as cartoons villains

    If NATO did not want to be considered cartoon villains, they shouldn’t be so cartoonishly evil.

        You seem to be under some kind of belief that people should be ashamed of an accurate assessment of NATO, and that it is some sort of mistake to stand by it. This is weird

            What good does it do? When was the last time they did good? The current Russian state and NATO can both burn as far as I’m concerned.

          Tankies are more specifically pro-dictatorship and pro-oligarchy so long as the countries claim to be Communist.

          Was that decided by NATO?

            You’re saying that the NATO bombings and the NATO-backed rebels had nothing to do with it…? He was fleeing a NATO air strike.

              Nope, you’re shifting the subject, you were talking about how he died precisely.

                The bombs he was fleeing from were decided by NATO, the militias were funded and supported by NATO; the same one that eventually found him and sodomized him to death with a bayonet. What will be evidence enough for you? Hillary’s “we came, we saw, he died.” quip?

            Yes. Gaddafi was also certainly killed based on French intelligence, and there is substantial evidence that the men who assassinated him were French assets. Part of the reason, apart from the broader geopolitical aim of annihilating a country which wanted to engage in the construction of international monetary and commerical systems outside of the orbit and control of the American petro-dollar, Gaddafi had essentially bribed Sarkozy at a certain point and was holding this over the latter’s head (Sarkozy is infamously corrupt).

            Hegemon’s have to rule by fear. Read any bloodsoaked page from the history of the Roman Empire. Fear is best instilled through unimaginable atrocity. What do you think the rulers of the rest of Africa and the Middle East thought after they saw how Gaddafi, head of the most prosperous (per-capita, quality of life, standard of living, etc.) state in Africa, ended up?

          By his people, yes. Not sure what that has to do with NATO or even why that was a bad thing.

          Funny and horrific ends for genocidal dictators is overall a good thing.

            Yes, what could NATO-funded rebels and NATO bombings have to do with the brutal execution of a man fleeing both.

            Sexual violence isn’t funny.
