no.6 Destabilizing Libya
In 2011, Muammar Gadhafi, the longtime dictator of Libya, was killed and his decades-long reign of terror ended. Gadhafi was a vicious, cruel man, but he was also effective at rooting out terrorists. Many declassified reports now show that Gadhafi was one of the few Middle Eastern leaders successful at preventing the rise of terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda.
After Gadhafi’s fall, Libya entered into chaos. Various radical factions emerged throughout the country, making it a fertile ground for terrorists. On the 2012 anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a massive assault by radicals at the US embassy in Benghazi resulted in the deaths of four Americans. This started the rise of ISIS in Libya.
According to Michael Morell, the former deputy head of the CIA, the intelligence community never had a plan to maintain stability, which ultimately strengthened ISIS. Seeing the results of the Libya Initiative, US President Barack Obama admitted in 2016 that it was the “ worst mistake ” of his presidency.

Isn’t that what they always do create/identify “problems” so they can “solve” them. .
I like this thread
All along I had thought Libya was in Africa, I must have missed the memo on its tectonic movement to the new location.
Also U.S-Saudi relationship has facilitated massive support to terrorist groups thru petro-dollar
