Don't forget France's major role, despite their self-righteous progressivism, France still tries to make-pretend as a colonial power in their former colonies. (Spoiler: they suck at it.)
They started this war (without the US and against US advice) alongside those back-stabbing Brits, then immediately face-planted and begged Obama to save them. Which he did because Obama was always more loyal to EU internationalists than the US. And Obama did this even after acknowledging beforehand that he opposed the EU's interventionism and that the US had no interests to justify its involvement. What a difference a spine makes, President Trump would have never caved in to the pressure to provide the no-fly zone.
