The NATO operation in Libya, argues author and journalist Patrick Henningsen, is really about targeting the third party nobody is talking about: China.

“If you look at the Soviet Union vs. the West, the original Cold War, this was not so much a war that was fought face to face on a military field,” he said. “This was a war that was fought in third-party regions and usually through proxies, and this is exactly what we are seeing today, especially in the last month in North Africa.”

Henningsen stressed that the goals of intervention by the UN and NATO forces are very different from those drawn up in UN Resolution 1973.
