In the last interview, Joseba Sarrionandia explained that capitalism has been built on the ethics of thieves bands: “Because the ethic of the band drives economic growth. And the worst thing is that it is true, because the destruction of Libya, for example, is an opportunity for American and European companies for growth and job creation, as they say.”

War is a business. In contravention of international law, NATO carried out an attack on Yugoslavia in 1999, involving schools, hospitals and the Chinese embassy. Humanitarian bombing (sic). After the murder of twelve people at the hands of terrorists in the attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine, solidarity spread throughout the West. However, when NATO bombed Serbia’s Television headquarters in 1999 and caused sixteen deaths, there was no talk of terrorism or a wave of solidarity in the West. According to the interpretative framework created by the hegemonic media at the service of NATO, the Serbs were the others and should therefore be conquered and colonized in order to stop being barbaric.

NATO destroyed bridges in Yugoslavia, bombed the electricity grid, leaving millions of people without water and bread in the Gulf of Wales. It also bombarded and destroyed the factories of Porlan, the oil industry, the Yugo car factory and telecommunications systems. The bombs plummeted three times the Niš tobacco factory. Subsequently, the US tobacco company Philip Morris purchased the remains of the factory at an extremely low price, as the bombings create conditions for the theft of national resources.

Infrastructures are being destroyed for further reconstruction. However, the country that has already been destroyed does not have the means to carry out reconstruction work in the area. The only solution is to look for loans at the international level. That money comes out of the west to go back to Western private companies and do the work. Those who have destroyed your house will end up staying with part of your house and will charge you for the reconstruction of another part. The country loses sovereignty if it engages.

In the West, however, we want to think that we are carrying out military interventions in defence of the human rights of those countries. To do so, governments deceive public opinion, demonizing the government that wants to attack and providing lies and false evidence against it. It is an endless list of tests fabricated and counterfeited by the West in recent decades for military interventions. The lies to justify the 2003 war and invasion of Iraq were famous, but we don't learn. Eight years later we played the same thing with Libya, and now they play again with Syria.

The Foreign Action Commission of the UK House of Commons published on 14 September 2016 a report on the war in Libya. It is clearly stated there that the uprising against Muamar el Gaddafi was violent and armed, fed and financed from outside. The document stresses that Gaddafi did not plan a massacre, although the West repeatedly defended this version to justify a "humanitarian" intervention. On the contrary, the report notes that the real interests of NATO’s intervention were economic and political, and their consequences have been dramatic for Libya and its region. There has been a humanitarian disaster, the country is destroyed and Islamist extremism is proud that the West has underestimated that element from the outset. But apparently, it doesn't matter, because, as Sarrionandia says, this is how our economy grows and our economy is enriched.
