The Libyan Conflict Thread

[Jsjtwylight]

Interesting developments I dont know much about the Libya situation. I dowonder though about the muslim brotherhood that is still alive albeit underground in Egypt, would these developments give them a reason to resurface? How about turkey trying to rekindle its Ottoman roots. As far as Europe is involved there definitely taking orders from someone, USA, Israel, Russia and China all have some interest in the conflict even if they dont have official boots on the ground.

I do have some contacts in Egypt so if it gera dicey ill be able to give some on the ground Intel ar least from the civilian aspect.

We have a perfect fire triangle in Libya. Oxygen, heat and fuel. All there is left is a spark and it should come once one side (Turkey) is in position.

Have we seen two modern militaries (Egypt and Turkey) fight each other in the modern era? The closest I can think of are the Islamists armed by the US using those fancy toys against Turkish and US/NATO armour in the ME.

Modern tank vs tank battles? Artillery? Fighter/fighter-bombers?

This will be interesting nonetheless. The US will do business with whoever is the victor.

Another front where Erdo is stirring the pot is the Mediterranean

In November 2019 Libya (the GNA) and Turkey signed the Libya- Turkey maritime treaty. This maritime deal is a blatant infringement on the territorial rights of Greece and connects Libyan and Turkish naval territories

Turkey 'checkmates' in Mediterranean Sea chess by taking legal and economic initiative in region with game changing Libya deal, which will change energy geopolitics in East Med. - Anadolu Agency

On August 6 2020 the Greece made its own move by signing an EEZ memorandum with Egypt, thereby creating a maritime border with Egypt, strengthening economic ties and 'forgoing' the earlier Libya-Turkey deal

Redirect Notice

Erdo is now angry and has responded by sending Oruc Reis, a seismologist, to the area claimed as the border between the Egypt and Greece. There are also military drills ongoing between the island of Rhodos and Kastellorizo. That's right next to Greek territory

Greek military forces are on high alert. Oruc Reis still hasnt sailed to the Navtex area (Greek- Egypt border) which was supposed to happen on August 10

Apparantly there was no major damage. There are no guns allowed so no they are just bumping into each other
