Ask Libya how defensive NATO is.
The destruction of the Libyan airforce so Gaddafi couldn't drop bombs on his civilian population like Assad did in Syria was a good thing that saved lives.
Unless you're a tankie who jerks it the images of schools and hospitals ripped to shred by barrel bombs.
Gaddafi was bad, sure, but NATO reduced libya to a state where there's now open air slave markets.
Gaddafi doesn't seem as bad only because you have never seen published photographs of his atrocities. Extrajudicial killings, torture, public executions, political repression, and elimination of dissent. Lots of horrors that I guess are okay as long as the trains run on time.
We also don't know what a Libya where NATO didn't intervene looks like. It's not unbelievable that the civil war would've resulted in the same result but with a much higher body count.
