I love this guy. Haftar makes Donald Trump look like Mr Rogers. This is like the third time the U.S. senior citizen has declared himself in charge of Libya.

Nice backdrop tho.

Haftar did this TV coup thing in 2014 and they issued an arrest warrant for him. euronews.com/2014/02/14/lib…
Trump has tried this with the "Wartime President" schtick but it's a common them in narcissists and schizophrenics. Delusions of grandeur interupted by bouts of extreme paranoia.
English translation of "Field Marshal" Khalifa Haftar. It's effectively a military coup except he is getting his ass roundly kicked. It coincides with the trip to swap his cash for gold and the UAE demanding he retreat and regroup to prevent a disaster. almarsad.co/en/2020/04/27/…
This bluster is not new. In reality he is in a very tough place. He has choked off the Libyan people's oil exports, hired Russian mercenaries to shell civilians, just lost his foothold in the west but historically he always doubles down before flaming out. jcpa.org/libyas-field-m…
I think the February 14, 2014 al Arabiya coup announcement has vanished. Here is Haftar in his blue hair days. There are some clips with the low budget map in the background. Haftar was alway a force projection and psyops tool according to his handlers.
The U.S is not amused by Captain Crunch. facebook.com/usembassytripo…
