Another US backed coup, this is like the 50th this century.

As if the Lebanese people will follow through.
The moment they realize the us is behind it they will promot the Hezbollah again.
The us needs to get it’s brain checked.

So this is the compromise Biden made to Israel?
“Let Iran keep their nukes. We’ll overthrow the Lebanese government instead”

US citizen here. The USA has no business ‘installing’ any leader. It is not their place and I hope this is not happening.

“seeking to install new Lebanese president”
Ah yes nothing says we are the good guys more than *installing* a president in a foreign country.
It’s not like the international community has been calling out Iran for messing with Lebanon’s internal politics and disrespecting it’s people’s right to self determination for a few decades now or anything …

While I don’t disagree, in principle, isn’t that “election interference” ?

Can’t wait to hear which fascist autocrat the CIA Can find to rule Lebanon.

Oh my god I thought we learned from this twenty years ago.. unfortunately you can’t force democracy on people, and certainly can’t make regions just act a certain way.
Even worse is that the government contingents that do have influence either are very anti American or gunho on regional conflict. Unless the ME gets watershedded, this will be constant for our lifetimes

I really really hate Hezbollah and want to see it wiped out.
The USA installing a government in Lebanon… That seems very counterintuitive. Both towards the goal of destroying Hezbollah, and towards Lebanon as a whole. The Lebanese people deserve better lives.
