Libya Asks U.S. to Set Up Military Base Against Russia

Libya’s security chief called on the U.S. to set up a base in the North African country to counter Russia’s expanding influence in Africa.

Fathi Bashagha, the interior minister for the Tripoli-based administration, said his government proposed hosting a base after Secretary of Defense Mark Esper laid out plans to scale back the U.S. military presence on the continent and re-focus deployments globally on confronting Russia and China. Bashagha’s government has been engaged in a months-long battle with forces trying to seize the capital led by eastern strongman Khalifa Haftar, who’s backed by Russian mercenaries

“The redeployment is not clear to us,” Bashagha said, speaking in a phone interview with Bloomberg on Friday. “But we hope that the redeployment includes Libya so it doesn’t leave space that Russia can exploit.”

The oil-rich nation across the Mediterranean from Europe has been one of the main stages for Russia’s push for influence over the past year. More than a thousand mercenaries deployed by a confidant of President Vladimir Putin have backed Haftar’s offensive to capture the capital from the internationally recognized government.

The so called internationally Libyan recognized government is asking that America builds up a base in Libya in order according to their claims to fight agaisnt so called Russian mercenaries.
Even though this is the same internationally Libyan recognized government that has done nothing in order to crack down on the human traffickers in Libya who are smuggling African migrants into Europe.

The same internationally Libyan recognized government only controls Tripoli and most of its surrendering areas.

It would be a bad idea for Trump admin to build base in Libya because a UN puppet gov is claiming that Russia is in Libya without evidence during his election and many of his voting base who wish that America gets out of the middle east.

Americans with NATO allowed the destruction and chaos of Libya to happen, how is building a military base again in Libya going to fix the chaos?

Trump prefers Haftar.

The puppet we installed wants an American base, imagine that. I hope the foolish retarded Libyan minority who called for the US support all die a slow painful death.

The same puppet which is ironical refusing to crack down human traffickers who are smuggling migrants onto those NGO ships? why are they refusing to crack down upon the traffickers? and at the same blaming, accusing Italy of nationalists , fascists attacks on migrants? dont you think its rather odd about all this? its almost as if the puppets has no plans to crack down on the human traffickers prefers the chaos?
hm.
The puppet had five years if not 10 years of creating stable Tripoli and most of its surrendering areas and yet so far they haven't done that, let alone with the occurrence of power black outs in Western Libya.
