Fair point to be honest, albeit France being the first one to bomb Libya in 2011 is a mere technicality (if true) as there was a. UN security council resolution and Nato was leading the operation, or am I missing something?

France is there to get cheap Libyan oil from a warlord.

I will need more convincing on that. But I do see that France’s involment does have pretty bad optics - and maybe reasons. But because France is not the only one there, it sure isn’t something black and white.

And I wouldn’t draw comparisons to Ukraine as the Libya has unfortunately have had so much internal instability that is not comparable - though one could say something Euromaiden and the aftermath of it but that is still order of magnitudes different starting point.

Take Libya for instance where France is helping the Haftar regime to continue waging war against the internationally recognized government alongside Russia, Wagner, the UAE and Egypt.

Pretty sure France is not there to be along with Russia and Wagner but because Russia and Wagner is there. Russia’s interest is to grow influence and cause issues to Europe.

It’s a Russian made car so probably is just that
