US officials believe they can exploit the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah’s disarray to push for the election of a president in Lebanon, according to Axios.
The report echoes the belief among some Lebanese opposition leaders who spoke to Middle East Eye that there is an opportunity to push for the election of a president after the post has been vacant since October 2022.
Under Lebanon’s de facto confessional system, the president of Lebanon must be a Christian.
Ah yes because the last ten times they did this it totally didn’t backfire and they had everyone else’s future in mind while selflessly giving up a lot of their own.
Oh wait…
The definition of insanity comes to mind.

I had my comment removed because the mods of world news, don’t like me pointing out that this is literally the same as Russia and China meddling in US affairs.
And justly so they did, please show me when China or Russia armed Mexico or Canada to the teeth and Mexico then started invasion and indiscriminate massacre of US, and not even the first one.
Russia and China barely affect US elections. Israel controls all of America and you’re complaining about Russia and China.
The comparison is also wrong. The US directly tries to appoint a puppet president to Lebanon which they control. Russia and China try to influence people’s opinions to vote differently in the US.
This Lebanon intervention is more comparable to what Russia is doing in Africa or Belarus where they actually install puppets.
to what Russia is doing in Africa or Belarus where they actually install puppets.
Belarus under Lukashenko was at first opposed to Yeltsin’s Russia, then tried to become neutral until USA and their Polish and Baltic puppets organised coup there which finally forced Belarus to side with Russia, but all that time Russia didn’t installed anything there, it’s the same government there.
And did you just suggest that the antiimperialist coups in Sahel countries are just Russia’s doing? I mean it would be great if Russia was such an antiimperialist activist, but no such luck there.
I think they are kind of bemused by US politics, whereas Turkey and Saudi Arabia and Israel have a much more direct involvement as they wish to get a better deal out of their masters.
Putin talks about how he prefers Harris now, the Chinese joke online that Trump’s trade war would help them. It’s counterintuitive, but none of it fits the election interference claims of Dems or GOP.
If anyone were serious about fixing the rigging of our elections they wouldn’t be talking about malign influence on public opinion at all. It has zero effect on policy statistically.
to push for an election of a president? As opposed to what lol, what have they got now?
Nothing
Further evidence that the US is run by the dumbest motherfuckers to ever walk this Earth.
