Isn't this what all sane people were cyber-screaming when NATO decided it would be fun to topple Khaddafi, since Libya would surely become a western style democracy without him? (and, oh yeah, provide a port for the oil they'd steal out of western Egypt when that government fell, too). Did they really think the natives who did the fighting would just turn their country over to Europe and the US?

I love reading maps, one of my favorite nerd things. ISIS has been denied their corridor to the Med through Syria, thanks to Russia.

So now ISIS has a Mediterranean coast, not that far from southern Italy, with plenty of island stepping stones to get to Europe? And an invasion passing through.

unbelievable. How long can civilization survive, running on stupid? And nobody studying Geography anymore.
