Libya Asks US To Establish Military Base To Combat Russian Presence
 
Tyler Durden
 

This is all we need: another American base located smack dab in the middle of yet another civil war we had a big hand in causing in the first place.

"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," Bloomberg reports.

It appears a desperate effort on the part of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) to gain Washington's attention after Trump last year seemed to switch his preference to Gen. Khalifa Haftar.

The UN recognized government, GNA,  is asking for this.  It doesn't sound that bad actually.
