The intervention in Libya is a significant example of how liberal international coalition actions can contribute to long-term regional instability.

“It was the breaking of a lot of things. I think we'll go back in history and we'll see that moment as a very very important moment in what went wrong in the I guess the kind of liberal Western international coalition.”

The military actions taken by the US and Israel have failed to permanently disable Iran's nuclear program and have worsened the threat by ending diplomatic negotiations.

“We have made the Iranian threat in the medium and long term worse even though in the short run in the next three or four months um we did destroy their capacity.”
