Moamar Qaddafi was never our creature, so apples to oranges?He was a self made man, unlike various presidents of South Vietnam, South Korea, Iraq & Panama, all of whom were "assets", at least until some of them were worth more dead.

Doesn't matter whether 'self-made' or 'our creature' - their fate is the same from the West's perspective. However, one is deserving of his fate, the other is not.

APC / Armored Personnel Carrier = бронетранспортёр / БТР

General Ngo Dinh Diem, the President of South Vietnam, and his brother weren't killed in battle, General Dương Văn Minh had deposed him in a coup backed by the CIA. They were under arrest and being transported to military Headquarters when someone decided it would be best if they didn't arrive there alive.

APC = Armored Personnel Carrier.

AFAIK, the same M113 APC which NATO gave a bunch of to Ukraine.
