US officials believe they can exploit the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah’s disarray to push for the election of a president in Lebanon, according to Axios.

The report echoes the belief among some Lebanese opposition leaders who spoke to Middle East Eye that there is an opportunity to push for the election of a president after the post has been vacant since October 2022.

    Belarus under Lukashenko was at first opposed to Yeltsin’s Russia, then tried to become neutral until USA and their Polish and Baltic puppets organised coup there which finally forced Belarus to side with Russia, but all that time Russia didn’t installed anything there, it’s the same government there.

    And did you just suggest that the antiimperialist coups in Sahel countries are just Russia’s doing? I mean it would be great if Russia was such an antiimperialist activist, but no such luck there.
