re: #288 wlewisiii

It’s gotta happen, if at all, via the UN. I know there are lots of reasons to laugh at the UN, but in many third world nations there are many who still believe in it. As a result we should use that to our advantage - especially when our advantage is the same as the locals advantage ;)

I’m hoping that, at the request of the rebel government, the UN orders a no fly zone. I also hope that no US (or French or Italian) aircraft take part because the propaganda issues are too large due both real and imagined colonial issues. Here’s hoping that Spain and Greece can use NATO standards to bomb the [bleep] out that little pig.

Hang the propaganda, we can counter it. If the rebels need airstrikes, we should send them. And forget the UN. It won’t act, because Russia and China aren’t likely to let it.
