Excellent analysis friend Markku. What is interesting what you mention about clean and nutrient-rich water. I've heard a lot that European countries have few sources of fresh water in rivers, is that true? ... When they overthrew Gaddafi in Libya, they said that the immense water sources that the country had would end up in Italy or France. What do you think about this information?
Few European countries don't have adequate water. I could imagine it being a problem in Spain and Southern Italy but not France. North of the Alps, there is plenty of water. And yes, there is a huge so-called fossil (non-replenishing) aquifer in southern Libya that's thousands of years old. It would've been simpler to just buy the water from Gaddafi than try and depose him and steal it. Building a pipeline from Libya to, say, Sicily would've been impractical. Tankers could've been used to import the water from anywhere. And the Libyan water is somewhat salinated and cannot be used at least as drinking water as such.
Deposing Gaddafi was either a stupid idea because chaos ensued in Libya and the number of migrants from Africa increased or there was something to it that I don't know about. There was a deal with Gaddafi that he keep African migration through Libya under control. Gaddafi was most likely deposed because of an old beef with him about the Lockerbie terrorist strike where Libyans ordered by the government hijacked an airliner and brought it down at Lockerbie, a village in Scotland in 1988. Although Libya admitted guilt in 2001 and paid billions worth of damages to the next of kin to the victims followed by sanctions being lifted by the USA, there might have something like this behind it.
I also thought that a pipeline from Libya to any of those countries could not be profitable. I imagine more the possibility that you talk about taking it with oil tankers (sounds more viable). I had no idea of the plane's insider and much less of what he had to pay gaddafi to those families. Living in a socialist (communist) country where they filter information makes us more innocent of matters like that.
