The Last Country We “Liberated” from an “Evil” Dictator Is Now Openly Trading Slaves

Regime change must be followed by occupation. Or you get this situation. What would have happened, had we not occupied Japan or Nazi Germany?

Thats not the complete story. Occupation is necessary i fully agree, but the will to change is also very important. The atrocities committed by Germany and Japan during WW2 were revealed right after the war, which changed the mindset of the majority of both populations. That "the cause was righteous" helped enormous, together with the Marshall plans.

What is happening the last 2 decades is "bomb the shit out of them" and "see what happens". There is no plan with a vision implemented, and that doesn't work. Even a downer could foresee that.

I sort of see where you are going with that. But on the other hand, no, I don't think we would have seen a Libya from Japan if we didn't occupy Japan. Would they be the strong and free democracy and faithful ally we have today? Probably not. Would they have slaves... uh, no. Not all countries are equal.

Any chance Italy might want to take Libya back?

The Libyans are having a hard enough time as it is, why would you wish that on them?

You are giving credit for the Libyan revolution to the US...somehow? I don't even...

Why not try the brand new concept that was never tried before: staythefuckouting

Problem with that though is you can get madmen like kim jong who if left alone long enough can build nukes and that isn't good for anyone.

Or just leave other countries alone.

The colonial era is over, the west needs to find a new hobby.

But then what else are we supposed to do with such an obscenely oversized military?

That's not a problem. In fact Kim Jong has nukes despite all the attention. Also even if some other madmen get nukes then what? There's no practical application other than genocide, just for the sake of genocide - they won't be able to take no land due to radiation which in turn will be a problem for their land too due to the nature of radiation and how it gets around. And even if they go genocide route - they can be stopped immediately. This way there will be less casualties and suffering than what we have now.
