LOL - Globalist interventionists trying to stir up some action. They never rest.
Lebanon should be left alone, they’ve already suffered enough with their previous civil war.
What interest in Lebanon do we have to which we should fear a Russian threat? Oil? Secret bases?
Since when does the USA have ANY influence in Lebanon?
Geographically, Hezbollah controls 75% of the country.
Politically, Hezbollah has de facto control of the government.
Let Lebanon decide. Hasn’t Lebanon had some problems with Israel staging attacks inside their borders?
News-Weakling is not a credible news source.
They are run by flaming liberal milquetoast homosexuals.
Russia’s interest in Syria is the same as Crimea, a warm water naval base.
FakeNewsWeek is the printed version of CNN!
I’m not in Lebanon
Newsweek doesn’t have a *clue* about the current shift in the Middle-East, which is a consolidation of Shi’ite tribes at the expense of Sunnis ... that for once transcends traditional Persian/Arabian lines.
Newsweek looks at the Middle-East and ignorantly thinks “Russia.”
They are idiots at Newsweek. Yemen, Syria, and Iran are Shi’ite powerpoints.
Likely.
They won?
They are committed to being there for a long, long time. That looks like losing to me.
for all those looking at a possible end-times scenario,
Russia could take control of Lebanon any time it wishes.. and
I think.. just a thought.. Russia would eliminate the dangerous Hezballah (of no practical use to Russia, a pain the ass insofar as controlling Lebanon is concerned, and always a big risk of creating a war). THEN...the very practical relations Moscow has with Jerusalem could easily develop into an open friendship...and maybe...must maybe... you’d see the predicted 3.5 years of peace? I am just musing today, avoiding tacking some real work, ha! Its a possibility is all I’m saying, and frankly I do not believe Russia would turn on Jerusalem after that...
The Terrorussians have allies in Hezbollah.
some people quoted in this article are full of shit. Russia will covertly back Hezbollah in coordination with Iran, and sometimes on its own.
The Lebanese Army is almost a paper tiger and no match for Iran-armed Hexbollah (Iran gets a lot of its arms from Russia and then can, and probably does, smuggle them to Hezbollah and other anti-western Islamic extremist groups).
Putin knows just what he is doing. Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Rhodes, and others couldn’t even find Lebanon on the map except when Israel strikes back against Hezbollah and Iranian terrorist groups operating there, esp. in the Golan Heights/Northern Border areas.
Read this article with an open mind but remember it is from Newsweek and some of their sources are probably not reliable or rational.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Should Iran suffer a setback in the region, why wouldn't Russia move in. If they don't, Iran becomes Russia's competitor.
What did they win?
Why, pray tell, does it always have to be the US vs. Russia? Might there be times when our interests coincide?
