WATCH: Trump Wants To Turn Venezuela Into Libya! (Jimmy Dore)

Contrary to the story the American public was told, the U.S. intervention in Libya was driven by geopolitical and economic interests rather than humanitarian concerns, and Muammar Gaddafi was targeted because he sought to unite African nations economically and shift to a gold-based system that excluded the U.S. and Europe.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Libya’s collapse, including the destruction of its water infrastructure and rise of slave markets, resulted directly from NATO military action.

The video contrasts Gaddafi’s domestic social programs with the instability that followed his removal and criticizes U.S. foreign policy as consistently using humanitarian rhetoric to justify resource extraction and regime change. Jimmy connects these arguments to the Trump administration policy toward Venezuela, suggesting similar motivations are at play.

Netanyahu Pushes “Libya Model” For War With Iran! (The Jimmy Dore Show)

President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement on Monday that the United States and Iran were poised to begin “direct talks” on Tehran’s nuclear program, but Iran’s foreign minister said the discussions in Oman would be “indirect”.

Israel’s shadow looms large over the talks. An Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said over the weekend there was possibly a window of around two months to reach a deal, citing worries that Iran’s longtime foe Israel might launch its own attack if talks took longer.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who has shown little support for US negotiations with Iran, said if diplomacy could prevent Tehran from ever getting nuclear weapons “in a full way, the way it was done in Libya, I think that would be a good thing.”

Jimmy and guest host Aaron Maté discuss why Iran might want to avoid the fate that befell Libya after Gaddafi dismantled his country’s nuclear weapons program.



Mate points out that he doesn't want to see Iran with a nuclear weapon, and is against nuclear proliferation, and doesn't want to see people massacred in any future attack on that country. The lack of trust between countries, and interventionism, has caused a lot of problems. The solution is to make sure people have viable places to live without being threatened by their neighbours. If the people of the Middle East had been left to themselves they'd likely be less radicalised than we see today. The problem is that extremist Zionist types from Europe moved into their neighbourhood. As things stand the only way peace is likely to break out is if one side expels, or eradicates, the other.

Gaddafi Said Syria Would Be Carved Up EXACTLY Like It Just Was! (Jimmy Dore)

Gaddafi talks about the balkanisation of various countries, with Syria and Egypt on the hit list, and Israel's borders right up against Turkey. He also warned about mass migrations from Africa into Europe (not mentioned in the clip) without Libya acting as a barrier to such movements - predicting his country would be targeted for destruction.

Russia Advances in Ukraine, Pivots to Libya as US Poised to Continue Global Aggression into 2025 (TheNewAtlas)

As Russian forces continue advancing across Ukraine, they appear to be pivoting from bases in Syria to Libya;

Russia’s position in Ukraine has overstretched it regarding Syria, but appears to have a better position in Libya;

Ukraine’s recent assassination of a Russian general in Moscow is part of a practice of assassinating military and political leaders as well as journalists for over a decade without any positive effect;

Ukraine’s intelligence agencies have been admittedly built up and overseen by the US Central Intelligence Agency since 2014 meaning the US is culpable for all actions carried out by these agencies;

The true capabilities of the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile are coming to light as images from the targeted industrial plant emerge;

President Putin’s marathon Q&A session (4 hours+) reveals Russia seeks a permanent end to the conflict in Ukraine, not a freeze as the Biden and now the incoming Trump administration appear to be attempting to propose;

The incoming Trump administration has been filled with cabinet members representing continuity of agenda, meaning that US aggression worldwide will continue well into 2025;

Watch: Gaddafi Predicted Syria’s Destruction Exactly! (Jimmy Dore)

The Greater Israel Project. The US neocons have pushed all the recent the wars throughout the Middle East to benefit Israel. So far, although it's taken some time, they've been very successful. Gaddafi warned about this, but was killed, and Libya largely destroyed. Destabilisation in Europe is something they also want so that these countries have populations facing a similar situation to the one they face in the Middle East (which comes with mass migration policies). Eventually war will come to Europe too.

Libyan Civil War Starting Up Again After 2 Year Ceasefire (Jimmy Dore)

It’s been more than 10 years since Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and assassinated in a NATO-led overthrow and yet the nation of Libya remains mired in conflict as competing regional factions seek to gain control of the entire nation. Just recently fighting broke out in the capital of Tripoli, with 32 left dead in the aftermath. This is the legacy left behind by Hillary Clinton who famously cackled about Gaddafi’s death, saying “We came, we saw, he died.”

Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger are joined by The Duran hosts Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou to discuss Libya’s ongoing struggle to emerge from the cycle of violence and the West’s culpability in its decline.
