Lebanon: All the boxes ticked....
You really have to wonder about the stupidity and perfidity of the Maronites...do they really think Lebanon as a province of "Eretz Israel" will be theirs?

📋United States “ To Do” list for overthrowing the Lebanese government.
✅ Create a massive, fortified embassy in Awkar to serve as a base for U.S. intelligence operations, with a strategic location that enables monitoring of regional events and close interactions with Lebanese security forces.
✅ Provide extensive military funding and support to the Lebanese Armed Forces, including training, equipment, and dollarizing salaries to create a dependency on U.S. aid.
✅ Impose sanctions on Hezbollah and affiliated groups, limiting their funding sources and pressuring financial institutions to restrict dealings with them.
✅ Fund and support NGOs, civil society groups, and opposition movements under anti-corruption and reform initiatives to bolster anti-Hezbollah sentiment.
✅ Engage in media campaigns that portray Hezbollah as destabilizing and corrupt, using local media and social media to frame the U.S. as a positive force for Lebanese stability and reform.
✅ Sponsor scholarships, exchange programs, and educational grants to foster Western ideals among Lebanese youth and future leaders, building a favorable base of influence.
✅ Invest in high-visibility development projects like schools, infrastructure, and community programs branded as U.S.-sponsored, fostering dependency and positive perceptions of U.S. involvement.
✅ Use the embassy’s intelligence capabilities to monitor Hezbollah’s activities and gather intelligence on other regional actors, positioning Lebanon as a crucial listening post.
✅ Support pro-U.S. political factions like the Lebanese Forces and Future Movement, indirectly backing them to counterbalance Hezbollah without sparking backlash.
✅ Encourage coalition-building among anti-Hezbollah groups to foster a more unified opposition within Lebanon’s fragmented political landscape.
✅ Maintain diplomatic pressure with international allies to isolate Hezbollah financially and politically on the world stage.
✅ Offer financial aid and support tied to political conditions and reforms to increase Lebanon’s economic dependence on the U.S. and influence policy changes indirectly.
✅ Sponsor Lebanese media outlets and journalists critical of Hezbollah to amplify narratives that paint Hezbollah as a security risk and an economic burden on Lebanon.
✅ Leverage cultural diplomacy by sponsoring local community projects, sports programs, and cultural initiatives to promote Western values and create loyalty.
✅ Increase Lebanese security collaboration by establishing intelligence-sharing agreements with Lebanese agencies, training LAF personnel, and conducting joint exercises.
✅ Promote and amplify narratives of U.S.-sponsored aid and initiatives to position the U.S. as a crucial ally during Lebanon’s economic crisis, contrasting with Hezbollah’s alignment with Iran.
This is the Embassy...ummm...Fortress now: "bigger than the Pentagon" apparently...in a bankrupt country where according o UNICEF 74% of the population live in poverty, one might wonder what it's for...
Tariq Mitri (former Minister of Culture of Lebanon) says: In March 2010, I went to Tehran with PM Saad Hariri. We had a meeting with Ayatollah Khamenei. Saad Hariri and I sat together before the meeting.
Hariri told me that we should make disarming of Hezbollah the main issue.
I didn't say anything, but the others agreed. When we entered Khamenei's office, he treated Saad very warmly and sincerely. Saad Hariri talked about Lebanon and the issue of Hezbollah weapons. Ayatollah Khamenei looked at him and said:
"Have you read "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"?
It was clear that Saad Hariri had not read the novel. Ayatollah Khamenei continued:
"This is the story of a very beautiful woman and perhaps the most beautiful women in Paris, and it's natural that all those in power were looking for her." Khamenei then asked: "What was the name of this woman?" I (Mitri) answered: Esmeralda.
Khamenei looked at me and said with a smile: Ahsant.
Khamenei then said: "All those who knew the characteristics of this woman in beauty and tenderness wanted to abuse her. This woman (Esmeralda) had a beautiful and sharp dagger to defend herself against them. Mr. Prime Minister! Lebanon is as beautiful as this woman. The bride of the Mediterranean Sea. All countries want it and Israel is a threat to it, but the Hezbollah weapons are like Esmeralda's dagger..."
