RT loves third rate conspiracy theories like this one - "gold dinar" or Saddam wanting to sell oil for euros which was supposedly reason for invasion of the USA... a load of cretinism obvious to anybody with more than 2 brains cells - gold standard is long dead, even for dollar for a good reason - it no longer works in a world based on money printing, even with that economists are tuliping their pants at the thought of deflation hitting the economy.
USA did not want to get involved at all (that was after Iraq remember), it took some effort to force them do bare minimum.
Gaddafi got killed because he reached total end of his road - his reign of terror over decades had to finish, it's a pity it did not happen before - thanks to the West tolerating him.
