    Fuck Hezbollah, but fuck Israel’s attempt to expand their ongoing war-crimes-carousel to Lebanon more.

    Sanctions have not been effective - AQAH has been sanctioned since 2007, and only the direct military threat on Iranian planes bringing cash seems to be having the desired impact.

    The quiet part is here in the details - Iran is Hezbollah’s financier - confirming what everyone has known for decades. AQAH is unlicensed, yet they do business with AQAH because they know that someone (Iran) will guarantee AQAH’s debts. More importantly, it shows a path forward for Lebanon - to simply enforce their existing sovereignty and laws - punishing banks that do business with unlicensed banks.

    Isn’t every country out of money these days? This isn’t the old gold standard days. Isnt the value of a currency basically based off the countries GDP and credit score to drastically over simplify it? Forgot to add the point I was making lol. Which is, if Palistine wants to be recognize as a legitimate body of power of which Hezbolla was elected as their governing power, it would seem its time to start taking out loans.
