This Halloween marks a decade since the *formal* end of the devastating 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, and in light of that anniversary we want to re-share a conversation we had with Eric Draitser of Counterpunch about a year ago. We discussed the legacy of the intervention, both in the devastation and horror that have defined Libya since, and in the apathy and absence of memory that define the memory of that intervention now in the West. The episode was based off an excellent article Eric wrote on these same topics in Counterpunch last year. Take a listen, and follow/support Eric on Twitter and Patreon.
