WW3 Expands, Russia Deploys Special Forces In Western Egypt Towards Libya

Well it looks official to me, the Libya front of WW3 has opened up shortly after Russian assets deployed to Egypt.


It took day, but CNN has provided another analysis.

Thanks for the information. I hadn't been paying much attention to this since say November-ish. I see that the Kurds have been very successful in the map. This must annoy the hell out of Turkey.

I keep thinking that the Kurds will declare themselves sovereign eventually - but is it better for them to say they are part of Iraq since Turkey has a very ugly history with them?

As far as ISIS goes, I am happy to see that Dabiq was taken. It makes me smile.

The Kurds are very determined and successful fighters for their people. I believe they will get their state, and it will likely start with autonomy as thanks for helping to keep Syria together.

There's no Russian special forces in Libya, although maybe some are in Egypt!
But ... There's plenty of italian informers in Libyatrying to attempt some sort of coup in the country in favor of Italy and the EU. This is not going to happen in any way shape or form that might be helpful for the EU or Italy.

Italy is bankrupt and the EU is doomed, they stand no chance.

I know this is late but after some reading I just see this as Egypt and Russia helping clean up the ungodly mess that Obama and Hillary left there after they murdered Colonel Gaddafi.

General Hatfar is the only man who can really bring peace to Libya.

well the title does say, they are in Egypt ...
Thats messed up that CNN video got pulled. It actually had footage clearly taken by an "asset" on the ground of the soldiers at the base and some other stuff. I doubt I will ever find it again, but who knows.

oh no doubt! But it is still part of a front of the Third World War, and we won't have to fight the next one with sticks and stones either! Albert was wrong man, WRONG!

Russia is increasing its military presence in Libya. Translated for your convenience from Russian to English
The presence of the Russian military contingent in Libya was immediately reported by two publications - the British newspaper The Sun and the Russian portal RBC - each with reference to its own sources. The Sun newspaper claims that dozens of GRU agents and special forces detachments are already on the Mediterranean coast, with the support of the PMCs of Wagner. In turn, RBC reports that a source close to the Libyan authorities confirmed the publication of Russia's military activity in the region. The Russian side denies its presence in Libya.

"There is no military presence of the Russian Federation in Libya, the statements of the UK about Russia's alleged plans to" turn Libya into a new Syria "are a fantasy," Yury Shvytkin, deputy chairman of the Duma defense committee, told RIA Novosti.

International experts assure the opposite and emphasize: Russia has reasons to strengthen its position in the region.

“The Russians are already there, and they are trying to increase their presence - either at the expense of the official troops called by the local authorities, or at the expense of private military companies. This is a new tactic for expanding Russian influence in the region, ”emphasizes Chatham House expert Mathieu Buleg.

If the tactics are new, then cooperation between Libya and Russia has been going on for decades.

“For decades, Gaddafi has been the largest customer of Moscow, one of the largest buyers of weapons. Up to the time of its overthrow in 2011, great progress was made in concluding various contracts: for the construction of a road, for work with numerous oil and gas companies. Naturally, the revolution, the Arab Spring, the overthrow of Gaddafi broke off all these plans. Now it is not known what will happen to this long-suffering railway. It is also not clear what will happen with the contracts that have been promised to Russian companies, ”explains Dmitry Frolovsky, an independent expert on the Middle East.

Российский спецназ воюет в Ливии - Russian special forces fighting in Libya

Russia is moving crack special forces, or Spetznaz, troops into the war-torn North African nation of Libya, that Hillary Clinton so famously destroyed, along with some of Moscow’s best weapons systems including the S-300 air defense system and Kalibr anti-ship missiles. The goal seems to be to gain control of the main migration route from the region into Europe, says a report delivered to U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, reported Fox News.

Two Russian military bases are already now up and running in the coastal towns of Tobruk and Benghazi, using the cover of the controversial Russian private military company the Wagner Group which already has outposts there.

Tsarizm reported earlier in the year that Russia was teaming up with and supporting the powerful warlord General Khalifa Haftar in Eastern Libya, in an attempt to make it a ‘new Syria’.

S-300's in Libya?? Well thats news to me.

Found more into this. General Khalifa Haftar was meeting with the Russian Defense Minister in Moscow, and guess who was there? The owner of the PMC Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin. This is the same Wagner Group who lost about 200 mercenaries in February 2018 by a USA counter attack after leading a daring attack across the Euphrates river with a force of about 500 combined Syrian, Iranian and Russian assets to attack SDF positions. Russia is keen on keeping Libya within their own hegemony. Seeing as Libya was really Europe's (Mostly France, Britain and Italy) gambit that required the begging of US assistance, which Mrs. Clinton so gleefully obliged, lets see if Macron is ready to commit his fairy-tale European Army to confront Russia in Libya.

Press service of the Libyan National Army accidentally leaked footage that show Wagner PMC chief Yevgeny Prigozhin at meeting between Marshal Khalifa Haftar and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

The press service of the Libyan National Army on November 7 published a video of the arrival of its commander-in-chief, Marshal Khalifa Haftar, for talks with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu . Novaya Gazeta also drew attention to the video.

The video shows how the delegation headed by Haftar arrives for negotiations. Marshal is met by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov . They enter the building and then pass into the hall past the restaurateur Eugene Prigogine , who is the alleged owner of the so-called private military company (PMC) Wagner, who is standing near the door.

As Interfax reported with reference to the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the course of the negotiations issues of combating international terrorism and solving the crisis in Libya were discussed. It was also reported about the possibility of Haftar meeting with President Vladimir Putin , but the schedule of the head of state did not allow it, said the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov .

In October, RBC , citing sources in the Ministry of Defense, reported on the transfer of a Russian military contingent to Libya. It was noted that the presence of Moscow is associated with interests in the oil and gas sector; The Sun, referring to a source in the British government, wrote that Russia is thus trying to influence the West.

Yevgeny Prigogine - Russian restaurateur, owner of the catering business. In the institutions of the businessman several times held events with the participation of Vladimir Putin. The president himself said that he knew Prigogine, but he was not in the circle of his friends.

In 2016, Prigogine came under US sanctions in connection with the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine. In addition, Washington has imposed restrictions on the Internet Research Agency, which is believed to be related to Prigogine’s structures, due to interference with the American elections. In addition, the businessman associated with the PMCs Wagner, participating, according to some, in the Syrian campaign.

It is clear that The European leadership is seeking the formation of an EU joint command force in an effort to fight their own battles for which the USA is kind of getting tired of financing. We fight and finance Europe and Israel's battles across Africa and the Middle East. I suppose it is high time we allow them to fund and man it themselves.

@worldstarcountry You may want to refer to this thread in one of your updates for added details with regard to the Libya situation: French—Italian tensions escalate over Libya, migrants

France, Russia, Chad, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt are all nominally on the side of the Libyan National Army/Haftar. While Italy, the US, UK, Qatar, Sudan, Turkey and Algeria are supporting Fayez al-Sarraj, their pre-installed puppet dictator that actually worked for Gaddafi, the very man they based the entire reason for going there in the first place on (SERIOUSLY LOOK IT UP I'M NOT #TING YOU, ITS ON WIKIPEDIA).

I honestly think the Libyan Civil War could be ground zero for WW3. It's starting to look that way. Although I expect the US to drop out of the main fighting and play both sides against one another, possibly supporting the Russian-led faction at one moment and then supplying arms/etc to the British and Italians the next.
