    They’re not going to stop land grabbing…

    As long as they think America has their back. They’ll keep going.

    And Biden has spent over 50 years saying he’ll always support them no matter what.

    That geriatric old fuck needs out of office now. We can’t wait for January and he’s clearly lost all his marbles or he’d be the candidate.

    There is real life shit going on and Biden has shown time and time again. He’s just not capable of handling it

      I mean it is the same with Putin, saying Ukraine is not a real country, he is not going to stop at Ukraine. Something similar might happen in Armenia too, things are becoming ugly.

        Biden is stuck with what life was like 70 years ago. Russia was the bad guys then so he treats them as the bad guys now at least.

        But he’s gone on record saying his support of Israel is due to a promise he made his dad when he was six years old.

        He’s just flat out not looking at things logically, it’s a joke that we’re still pretending he’s capable of running the country when he’s obviously not

          I am honestly not sure if it is Biden’s decision after I saw how cooked his brains were. More likely he just read whatever his party/vice president decided.

    Not really onion-y.

    Lebanon literally has a foreign paramilitary group with considerabily political power controlling part of it’s territory, so they are arguable not a fully sovereign state. And in the end statehood is not a clear definied concept and what really matter is recognition from other states. A state not recognition another for poltical reasons is not really something strange or absurd. That’s pretty much the norm.

      It is not the norm, it is becoming the norm. Nothing to shrug about, it is quite dystopian.
      And how is Hezbollah not a local military? As far as I know, they have existed before the Iranian revolution.

        It is not the norm, it is becoming the norm.

        How so? This was much more common in the past. It’s become much less of the norm since we have international instituations like the UN.

        Nothing to shrug about, it is quite distopian.

        right, but this isn’t !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world. And I don’t think it’s onion-y.

        And how is Hezbollah not a local military? As far as I know, they have existed before the Iranian revolution.

        They are funded by and acting in the interest of Iran. But it wouldn’t really change anything if they were local. It still means the government is only partially in control of the country.

          So it’s not the norm, it is becoming the norm. you answered it yourself.

          right, but this isn’t !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world. And I don’t think it’s onion-y.

          My comment is not the post, the post is onion-y

          This makes no sense.

    Does Israel really have a monopoly on power? Don’t they have huge numbers of settler militia types out there attacking Palestinians and driving them from their lands?

      It is the US that has the military power. Israel has already tried going into Lebanon before and failed, so I think if they do it they must be pretty confident that America will come to their aid.
