    Biden would fuck around do a coup right before an election if it helped Israel

    He obviously cares more about their right wing governments success than preventing trump

      Biden couldnt care less what Americans want. Harris is a sock pupet and Blinken will be floated next. There was an astroturfed surge of comments on reddit a while back saying Antony Blinken should be the next American president. He’d be even worse than Biden/Harris. The Democratic party corporation will definitely push him as the presidential candidate in 2028 or 2032. (Assuming the bribes from AIPAC are rich enough, which is always a safe bet.)

    This sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what the deal is with Lebanese politics. Didn’t even know they’ve been without a president for two years

    This is what makes me optimistic that Hezbollah can be defeated for good. Other factions in Lebanon have a strong incentive to prevent them from gaining enough power to operate independently from the Lebanese government again.

      Hmmm, I wonder how would you react if Russia elects the president in your country and tells you that it is for your own good. Would you be so happy?

      do any of those incentives involve a pile of shekels and a promise that they’ll get preferential treatment in a puppet govt. installed by Israel?

        Are you aware that Lebanon already has a democratically elected government, and that Hezbollah is not that government? It’s the private army of the Shia minority and effectively an Iranian occupying force. Most people in Lebanon had absolutely no say in its decision to attack Israel, but they are still suffering from the consequences of that decision.
