I think it’s all one big shit show.. not paying a whole lot of attention to it.

I’ll read the book later…

The good news is that Iran almost certainly cannot continue funding or arming Hezbollah any more. It doesn't have the money and the arms supply routes that it used to maintain via Iraq and Syria are no longer functional.

Iran desperately wants Hezbollah to continue to fight. The current Hezbollah leaders seem to agree. But I do not expect many of those leaders to be alive a year from now. When the money to pay the Hezbollah fighters runs out I expect a lot of desertions and quite probably an internal Shia fight as the non Hezbollah Shias seek to root out the foreign influence that keeps them being attacked by Israel

China is the destabilizing force.

I’ve waited many years for these conflicts to be exposed for what they truly are and finally it’s happening with the pressure from Trump and stellar reporting from many and especially you Alexander. I want the whole world to know the reality before the resolution.

The Shi'a klepto-theocracy in Iran hasn't the slightest interest in stopping hostilities in Lebanon or anywhere else. They are very clear that global Islamic domination is their goal, and that dissimulation (taqiyya) - e.g. the JCPOA - will be used whenever needed. Unlike their clueless targets in the West, the mullahs do not issue "COEXIST" bumper stickers.

Like the Iranian people, Lebanese are hostages in their own country, which even today is one with more than twice the GDP/capita of graft-ridden Iran. Nobody likes hostilities, but the entire world would be better off with these modern day Barbary Pirates eliminated and their billions in property, cash and securities now parked in the West returned to its rightful owners, the Iranian people.

At some point the rest of the planet will understand a major cleansing is their only hope for a peaceful future. Islam calls for peace, but THEIR peace can only be achieved when the entire planet is under their control. Peace for the rest of the planet can only be when Islam does not exist upon it.

Islam really needs a reset, a re-examination of its values, but that doesn't seem to be occurring. I'm not sure it ever will. Absent that, as you say, it seems to become a "us or them" situation.

The CCP fuels the fires. They have lost most of their Iranian buddies.

I have no knowledge of that but it wouldn't surprise me.
