Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.”
Now you can add “ DEAD” to his profile.
Good riddance, savage bass turd.
Yes! I can see how a garden variety, ignorant backwards finger wagging rag head would be “charasmatic” to an AP hack who never had a daddy in their lives.
Charismatic and shrewd are not incompatible with EVIL.
Describes a lot of mass murders.

I don’t know how shrewd he was. He may have been charismatic. He was also brutal and ruled with fear as much as “inspiration”. But on the scale of shrewdness he and his Iranian advisors were completely outwitted. Israel methodically took Hezbullah apart step by step going back years: infiltrating their ranks and developing human sources, taking out Syrian (Russian supplied) air defenses, cutting off the Iranian/Syrian supply lines by destroying routes and runways and caravans, destroying missile factories, blowing up rocket storage locations, targeting key figures with surgical strikes and bombs, knocking out 400 or more launchers which hindered their ability to launch a full scale barrage of rockets, blowing up 3000 pagers, blowing up 100s of radios… which forced the leaders to meet face to face to plan their next moves in an underground bunker, which Israel knew where when and who and was ready to use a dozen or so bunker buster bombs to take them all out at once. It seems like a plan that was well laid and well executed by Israeli intelligence. Very methodical. And this guy saw none of it coming. Hezbullah is now trapped, can’t get resupply, can’t recruit and more or less can’t retaliate. The only thing they can seemingly do is fight on the ground with small arms if Israel goes in.
Unless somehow they have some other unknown weapon of mass destruction, which I pray isn’t the case or isn’t used if they do.
Shrewd and blowed up real good?
I wonder if he got 72 virgins.
If so I hope they all look like Whoopie Goldberg.

Killers and Crooks ARE shrewd and charismatic. It’s when they call Nasrallah a humanitarian who cared about folks that pisses me off!
He forgot to mention that those qualities were spread out over multiple terrain features in multiple grid squares of a topo map.
He is charismatic and shrewd. He is also a murderous terrorist.
Charismatic doesn’t mean “nice.” Hitler was charismatic. Stalin was as well. They were evil…but they captured a room.
Using words accurately should not come under attack.
The IDF said, 'nuh-uh.'
That could describe many pastors I knew. It’s not a compliment.
What’s the problem with this?
He was both charismatic and shrewd. So was Hitler.
When I read comments here about foreign countries, everything is about the leader of the moment, and if he is “good” or “bad”.
This is a childlike way of thinking about alien peoples and their affairs.
Israel is at war with Palestinians and their friends, just like Ukraine is at war with Russia.
In the fullness of time, one side will win these wars and one side will lose. Believing that killing a leader or leaders is the same as winning a war is being really, really simple.
quotes:
Nasrallah has also repeatedly vowed to destroy Israel. “It is an aggressive, illegal and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land,”
“The US has tried, through its local agents, to persuade the people that those who crushed their arrogance in Lebanon and frustrated their conspiracy against the oppressed were nothing but a bunch of fanatic terrorists whose sole aim is to dynamite bars and destroy slot machines. Such suggestions cannot and will not mislead our umma (community), for the whole world knows that whoever wishes to oppose the US, that arrogant superpower, cannot indulge in marginal acts which may make it deviate from its major objective. We combat abomination and we shall tear out its very roots, its primary roots, which are the US. All attempts made to drive us into marginal actions will fail, especially as our determination to fight the US is solid.”
No one can imagine the importance of our military potential as our military apparatus is not separate from our overall social fabric. Each of us is a fighting soldier.
Our culture is crystal clear. It is not complicated and is accessible to all.
We see in Israel the vanguard of the United States in our Islamic world. It is the hated enemy that must be fought until the hated ones get what they deserve. This enemy is the greatest danger to our future generations and to the destiny of our lands, particularly as it glorifies the ideas of settlement and expansion, initiated in Palestine, and yearning outward to the extension of the Great Israel, from the Euphrates to the Nile. Our primary assumption in our fight against Israel states that the Zionist entity is aggressive from its inception, and built on lands wrested from their owners, at the expense of the rights of the Muslim people. Therefore our struggle will end only when this entity is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no cease fire, and no peace agreements, whether separate or consolidated.
We vigorously condemn all plans for negotiation with Israel, and regard all negotiators as enemies, for the reason that such negotiation is nothing but the recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist occupation of Palestine.
