    “(A) number of countries are at the tipping point of actually being captured by the Russian Federation as they are spreading some of their false narratives across Libya and from a strategic answer piece, access and influence across the whole Maghreb,” Langley said. “That is NATO’s southern flank. We need to be able to have — maintain access and influence across the Mahgreb, from Morocco all the way to Libya.”

    Looking at Libya since the US got involved there, I doubt Russia had to do much to “capture” them.

    Also I’ve been in movie theaters where the projection was less clear than the choice of the word capture here.
