Captured LNA pilot: Even with UAE air and Russian FOs, Haftar's ground rabble can't take or hold ground. Haftar and his UAE controllers are running the war from al Marj after unassing al Jufra. The cranky old Russian-trained artillery officer is losing.
The decision of Haftar to inject clownish amateurs like Erik Prince and Russian/Janjaweed mercenaries into this local conflict was a large part in bringing in Turkey in to end the madness. Even though Turkey knows the Libyans are leery of outside influence with historic baggage.
This historic resonance of Ottoman-controlled Tripoli from 1551 to 1864 may actually crystalize the American government into understanding the relevance of unchecked "pashas" and "pirates" in the Mediterranean. The "Great Siege of Malta" redux. East vs West etc.
