On the other hand, we will also be faced with a proliferation of lists of terrorist organizations. For example, since when the Gulf countries have a list of terrorist organizations? It is only in recent years that they have created such lists. Elsewhere too, there are countries that come to create their list of terrorist organizations, or who already had such a list, and add us on it, as did Britain, and we must also expect that other countries do the same, and place Hezbollah on its terrorist list and describe it as such. Therefore, it is a trend that will continue.
But how should we consider this trend and these measures? We can think of them as specific acts unrelated to the past or the future, or we can consider them as a global and continuous process, embracing the present, past and future. The second perspective is the right one.
Why? Because it allows us to understand precisely what these measures mean, in what context they fit and what are their goals, which allows us to face them and not allow these objectives to be achieved. And this is the responsibility of all members and supporters of the Resistance (Hezbollah). It is the responsibility of the Resistance, its members and their families, its masses, its popular base and its supporters, anyone who is part of this historic humanitarian movement in our region, not only in Lebanon.
In what context (do such sanctions fit)? We must understand that we are (indeed) oppressed (by these unjust sanctions), (but it is because) we are the strongest (that they were imposed on us). We are not weak and oppressed: (rather), if they attack us (that way), it’s because we are the strongest. We are oppressed and triumphant. How is that?
Since 1982 and to this day, the United States and Israel, which have their US-Zionist hegemony project on our region, our country, our choices and our sovereignty throughout the region, since 1982, they suffered defeat after defeat, successive defeats for their projects and greed. It is a clear reality, and we talked about it a lot in the past. As a brief reminder, without stopping on each point, let us recall for example:
1/ The 1982 invasion was within the framework of a US-Israeli plan for Lebanon, Palestine, (all of) the region and the (final) settlement of the (Arab-Israeli conflict). Who curbed, neutralized and frustrated this project by inflicting it a (stinging) defeat? The movements of Resistance in Lebanon, and I don’t mean only Hezbollah: Hezbollah, the Amal movement, patriotic parties, Islamic movements, the various factions of the Resistance, with support from Syria and Iran.
2/ From 1982 to 1985, and with all the events that occurred afterwards, this project collapsed.
3/ In 2000, the (historic) defeat of Israel in Lebanon.
4/ After that, the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
All this has destroyed the project and dream of Greater Israel. I have already spoken in detail of all this, and there is no need to say it all again.
5/ In 2006, and even before, with the arrival of the Neo-conservatives in power in the United States, there was a massive US plan to regain control of the entire region. They began with the invasion of Afghanistan, the occupation of Iraq, the attempt to besiege Iran and isolate Syria, to liquidate the Palestinian cause and deal a fatal blow to the Resistance in Lebanon and eradicate it in 2006. The successful steadfastness of Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006, of the factions of the Resistance in Gaza in 2008, and of Syria and Iran, have thwarted this huge and dangerous project that threatened our region.
6/ In 2011, the project of destruction of what I call the backbone of the Resistance camp in our area, namely Syria and the Syrian state.
7/ A few years after that, they returned to Iraq via ISIS and have targeted the entire Resistance Axis.
8/ They continued their pressure on Lebanon, Palestine and the Palestinian people.
9/ They launched an atrocious war against our brothers in Yemen.
10/ Not to mention the occupation of Bahrain, etc.
All this is part of the American-Israeli hegemony project. I have already said in the past that many regional countries were instruments in this project (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, Qatar…).
Once again, the Resistance Axis, the countries of the Resistance and the parties of the Resistance stood up against this war and faced this project. We won the battle decisively in Iraq, we are about to do in Syria and we completely triumphed in Lebanon. In Yemen, (our brothers) still resist victoriously against the continued aggression. Gaza continues to resist against all forms of aggression and blockade. And it’s the same for the Islamic Republic (of Iran) and its endurance against the (US) sanctions. Thus, this project also failed.
I want to say, regarding the current situation and also the future, that what Trump and his son-in-law Kushner hope, that is to fulfill a historic achievement in the region through the ‘Deal of the century’ (to finally liquidate the Palestinian cause), who faces (this project and fights to defeat it)? It is the Resistance Axis, the Resistance movements, the countries of the Resistance and the Palestinian people in the first place.
Israel, in all its (strategic) annual assessments, considers Iran as an existential threat, Hezbollah as the essential and primary threat, and all the Resistance Axis, from Gaza to Syria, including Yemen, which they begin to fear (seriously), all this Axis is a subject of concern and an (existential) threat to this entity.
Therefore, we are in this context, my brothers and sisters. When they put us on their lists of terrorist organizations, when they take measures and sanctions against us, it is because we have defeated them, because we beat them, because we have foiled all their projects, because we are stronger (than them), because we are more worthy and glorious, because we are capable, because we successfully defend our choice, our sovereignty, our people, our country and our states. This is the framework. This is the framework (of these sanctions). This is by no means a framework of weakness (of the Resistance). It is not at all a framework of weakness (for us).
Today, after the failure of all these wars (against our region), it is because they are unable (to conduct other wars that they impose sanctions on us, it is their last resort)… What else could they do?
The United States came themselves (with all their strength) in our region (in Afghanistan and Iraq) and they were defeated. They came (massively) in our region in the early 2000s, they remained (many years), but they were defeated. They were defeated by the Resistance in Iraq, and today they are defeated in Afghanistan. They were defeated in Syria, and they are overcome every day in Yemen. Are they able to launch a new war?
Israel is afraid and is (even) terrified to launch any war. And we hear every day (in the Israeli media) that the Israeli army is not ready, that their ground forces are not ready (for war), etc., etc., etc. And lately, just a few days ago, what did they do? They installed the American THAAD anti-missile system. This is proof that they have no confidence in their own systems, despite their propaganda morning and evening with lots of drums and boasting, claiming for years that (the Iron Dome) was perfectly capable of protecting their home front.
Therefore, faced with their failure, and with their inability to launch a war or any other military choice, and also because their security operations and murders have not achieved their objectives – on the contrary, we became stronger, more experienced, more lucid and more determined, as indicated by this quote from Imam Khomeini repeated tirelessly by Sayed Abbas (Musawi, Nasrallah’s predecessor murdered by Israel): “Keep killing us, because it awakens the conscience of our people!” The Resistance has become stronger, more determined, the people embraced it increasingly and massively and sympathized with it, when he discovered that (even) its leaders were killed and fell martyrs (Sayed Abbas Musawi was assassinated by Israel with his wife and 5 year old son).
What is the (only option) left to our enemies? Their last resort (is sanctions). Sanctions and inclusion on the list of terrorist organizations are thus a (new kind of) war in this context (of successive defeats of our enemies). And we, my brothers and sisters, those present and those who listen to us, we have to face it as if we were in time of war. Because it is indeed a form of war. Just as there are military wars, security wars, wars of information, political wars and culture wars, (sanctions) are part of the economic, financial and psychological war (aiming to break our) moral. And therefore, we have to face this war.
Today, when we consider the (Hezbollah) situation here or there… I’ll be honest and clear, and I will tell you what I said during our internal meetings, in small committee or with thousands (of Hezbollah members by videoconference), I’ll say it today on TV (so that everyone knows it). When (Hezbollah) is having some financial difficulties because of these measures and sanctions, it must be clear to us that this is part of the war. This has nothing to do with mismanagement, negligence or (arbitrary) budget restriction here or there. This is a consequence of the (economic and financial) war that is launched against us and that continues.
And this war is not only waged against us (Hezbollah). Today, the sanctions against Iran are heavier, and the United States asked the UN Security Council to impose sanctions against Iran. The United States exert the greatest pressure in this respect, and follow this matter very closely. Similarly, sanctions against Syria are heavier, and what they were unable to get through military war, (the US and its allies) want to get it by economic pressures, by hurting living conditions and livelihoods (of the Syrian people), by imposing hardships to the Syrian people in all aspects of his personal, social and economic (daily) life. The siege imposed on the Palestinians in Gaza and even in the West Bank (is harsher than ever): the destruction of houses, obstruction of wages, blocking (humanitarian) aid, etc., all this continues (and is intensified). In Yemen, people have been subjected to famine, financial, economic and port blockades, and all this continues. Sanctions and inclusion on the list of terrorist organizations are ongoing against all of us (Resistance Axis).
Yesterday, Netanyahu considered the (Palestinian) channel Al-Aqsa as a terrorist organization. A TV channel! The United States also added the factions of the Iraqi Resistance on the terrorists list, one after the other. The last faction concerned is that of our brothers in Al-Nujaba movement in Iraq. These sanctions therefore extend to anyone involved in this historic Resistance movement in our region. Yes, historic! The countries, governments, movements and peoples of the Resistance Axis.
Because (our enemies) strive to weaken us, to break our will, to impoverish us, to starve us, hoping to see us collapse, disperse and submit to their will (they trive for our complete surrender). Those who are unable to crush us by war, fighting and assassinations imagine that by impoverishing us, starving us, besieging us financially and draining our funding sources, they’ll manage to break us and to destroy our (Resistance) movement.
We have to face this (economic and financial) war.
First, we must hold on, stay stronger (than them), and not allow these measures to affect our will, our determination and morale. That’s the first point.
Second, despite all that is happening and everything that is said, their hopes will be bitterly disappointed, because they’ll never manage to impoverish us, to starve us nor to besiege us. Those who support us will continue to support us, in all certainty, be it States, peoples or our own (Lebanese) people and the masses of the Resistance in Lebanon.
These sanctions will continue. Yes, we will perhaps face some difficulties and certain restrictions. But I can assert, from the position of the leader who manages this question every day and in all its details, that we will continue our actions, our infrastructure will remain strong, sustained and rooted, and they won’t succeed in preventing our blood from flowing in our veins, nor the determination (to stay rooted) in our will. Be absolutely sure.
Certainly, as I said, we may face some difficulties and restrictions, but by patience, endurance, by reorganizing and wise and careful management, organizing our priorities, we will face this (economic and financial) war and we will overcome it (triumphantly).
When we fought during the war of July (2006), some people and political forces (in Lebanon and the region) stood by the river, waiting to see our dead bodies (washed away by waters); but their hopes were shattered, and we came out victorious (of this war). When we went (to fight) in Syria as forces participating in this global war, similarly, some in the world, the region, and unfortunately also in Lebanon, stood by the river, waiting to see our dead bodies (washed away by waters) and our defeat, but we came out victorious (of this war), as part of the great victory in Syria.
I tell you, both to those who love us, who are sincere and fair, and to those who stand by the river, waiting to see our bodies (washed away by waters) and hope that (Hezbollah) will collapse because of lack of money, poverty and hunger: I assure you that your hopes will be shattered, and not only that this Resistance will not fade or lose its high spirits, but it will gain strength, in numbers and equipment, in existence, in presence, in determination, in influence, in action and in shaping more victories in this region.
[Greetings from the audience on the Prophet Muhammad and his family.]
The days, (months and years) to come will confirm it. For it is the time that settles matters (among opponents) and reveals (the identity of the winner).
Of course it is necessary to mention again the action of the Foundation to Support the Islamic Resistance, and to emphasize that we need active efforts from our brothers and sisters, as well as a renewed and growing solidarity.
Remember that from 1982 to 2000, then to the years before 2006, we had a constant need (of financial aid). After 2006, due to the tremendous support that has been given us, especially by the Islamic Republic of Iran, I stated during certain (internal) meetings that even if we did not need money, we should continue our (fundraising) efforts to allow those who want to contribute financially to the action of the Resistance to do so.
Today we are in between. We are in between. The Foundation to Support the Islamic Resistance should continue its work and its efforts to enable (those who wish) to fight (by financial donations), and also to help us in this ongoing battle.
And I know (the generosity) of our people and of our families, despite the very difficult living conditions in Lebanon. I will publicly reveal something which I mentioned during internal meetings, which must be known: just a few weeks ago, two months at most, I didn’t appear on television to call people to make donations (for our campaign) to help Yemeni children because I did not want to impose on people a greater burden than they could bear. For I know that our people reacts (massively to my calls), despite their hard living conditions, and social and financial (difficulties). That is why neither I nor Hezbollah leaders or any responsible (called to participate in this fundraising for Yemen).
Our brothers and sisters inside the Lebanese regions took care of that within the Foundation to Support the Islamic Resistance and other Islamic charities, voluntary brothers and sisters, on social networks, Radio Al-Nour, who propagated (this appeal for donations for the children of Yemen). Within a few weeks, two million dollars were collected. In Lebanon alone, this small (and poor) country which is in a very difficult (economic) situation. I was given this money, and I have dispatched it to our brothers in Yemen. Such is our people! Such is our people! Such is their level of commitment.
I have many testimonies about the generosity of the sons, daughters and wives of martyrs (who are themselves in need), young and old, how they put aside part of their salary, of their life (livelihood), of what they collect for the future of their children, and they give it to the Resistance (Hezbollah).
That is why today, (I appeal to) this support and this popular momentum, and I declare that the Resistance (Hezbollah) needs them. The Resistance needs them. And the Foundation to Support the Islamic Resistance must work earnestly, as it did before 2000. Because today, we are in the middle of such a battle (economic and financial).
Of course, everything that is said in Lebanon about Hezbollah, who, because of these financial pressures, would grab the money of the State, and money from the Ministry of Health (devolved to Hezbollah), I responded (to these calumnies) and I repeat that these false accusations are unfounded. Our theological, religious and moral position about money of the State is clear (it is illegal to use it for purposes other than its intended ones).
And today, we call on everyone to make sure that the Ministry that is the most scrutinized, controlled and inspected, be the Ministry of Health. Go for it! Control the use of every penny! And you will discover a total transparency on the part of the Ministry, and absolute clarity in the use of every penny spent and every pound in strict accordance with the law for the Lebanese people.

Two issues as subjects of these videos.
Sanctions are biting hard and finances are blocked and drying up for Hezbollah and Resistance entities.
There is a Ministry of Health that is being run by Hezbollah in Lebanon and the “talk” is money from that Ministry may be being misused. Nasrallah refutes this absolutely.
Most of the opening is a review of the history of the Resistance to Israeli and US hegemony.
I see that Lebanon is under the beginnings by the Trump administration of a hybrid war.
The area is being set up for a war in the Golan. We’ll know when by the massing of naval power in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Last week Iranian and Russian security and military had meetings. This week Shoigu and Assad had meetings.
It is very clear that the Russians are preparing for war beyond the borders of Syria.
The ‘logic’ of Zionazism, derived from both its Talmudic Judaic and fascistic roots, is eternal aggression and religiously sanctified genocide. Hezbollah know this. And they know that Zionazism claims their homeland and great swathes of Syria, including Damascus, on the basis of narcissistic religious mythology and an innate belief in their superiority over their past and future intended victims, and all other goyim, who they quite literally see as a lesser form of Life.
Good to hear about the preparations from the Syrian and Russian sides: the region needs this!

Can anyone explained how Russia encourage Golan surrender to Israel ?
Korybko projects his interpretation of a draft constitution of 2017 that does not definitively mention Golan as part of the integral borders of Syria. That is all he has for his notion that Russia is in favor of exchanging Golan for peace with Israel.
That is naive.
Russia knows that there will never be Peace.So long as Iran exists, Israel will wage hegemonic war against all its neighbors to the north.
And all words spoken by Russian authorities since the draft resolution speak to Syria regaining the Golan because the international law is fixed, the UN has decided, and all nations except a very few accept that legal fact. Syria is the owner of the Golan.
The gas, oil and water of the Golan are the issue.
Israel thinks the US will fight a war with them for the Golan.
That will be a test for Trump. Does he want dead American aviators and special forces on his re-election agenda?
Already Russia has some MPs posted in the region. It is an indicator that Putin will use Russian military to hold off a war.
The hybrid war against Iran, and now as indicated by Nasrallah in the videos above, is hurting the financial basis and capability of Iran-Syria-Hezbollah to wage war against Israel.
So far, the war is of words. Whoever launches the war will lose. The Golan will come to the patient.
The problem i think is the high chances that US and lackeys would as usual backing Israel overt aggression against Syria-Iran and in which they may even bring limited target at Iran territory directly while it’s of low chances that for Russia to intervene in between. I do hope none else of the US lackeys following suit of the Twitter in chief preposterous twit. If they did it will be race against the time for Syria to assert their claim of the Golan heights.
I think one should always follow arguments and not just go by the person that writes a text. With Korybko however, I think I can shortcut to say in advance that his analysis is flawed. I just read his unbalanced analyses too often. But it is interesting how he dives quite deep into facts but always arrives at wrong conlusions.
It is very obvious that a constitution does often not technically fix the exact borders.
Andrew K. has gone on a slant for the last year that is really mystifying.
His years of prior work were brilliant.
I can’t figure out what happened.
As promised, here the slightly bombastic, but very interesting victory speech of Thierry Baudet, leader of the Forum for Democracy. a new Dutch party who became instantly the largest in the senate elections:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stwq95mNjE8
Thanks for indicating his speech.
When he ridiculed the concern of climate change (and implicitly negated the need to get off depleting resources) I understood why his party won in a landslide, because nothing attracts more people than promising the continuity of an unsustainable lavish lifestyle.
Further discussion should probably move to the cafe.
Yes this discussion is off-topic and any further comments should go to MFC. All further comments will go to trash. Mod.

I agree with you. I don’t trust him at all. In fact I think he deliberately mislead dummies. This kind of manipulation is typical of the Jewish mafia propagandists and its servants.
Most of his analysis on Syria is flawed and he knows it. He does it to mislead people for the interest of the zionist tribe. He acts like the site lobelog.com where pose as ‘progressive’ but in fact this site and its editors are part of the Jewish Mafia propagandist.
Be careful, not to be taken hostage by the zionist imposter

On the other hand I think “Resistance Axis Triumphs” is very early to say something like this. While on the battlefield(s) there are some successes and the political formation remains strong, the other camp Israel, SA, UAE and so on are getting stronger economically a lot (UAE) and are adapting their ideology to become less mad (in the case of SA). Oman is also booming. But I guess UAE and Oman might shift to a more neutral stance later. If there is some sign that US and Israel loose strength and determination things might change fast but so far this seems very far away.
Yes, Sordid Barbaria is certainly getting less diabolical. Now they strangle you before putting you through the bone saw and mincer, and they allow women to drive themselves to the Secret Police HQ before their torture begins. I do believe that they still crucify the decapitated remains of some of their victims, but I’m sure it’s done tastefully.
Most non Arabs or non Muslims dont know this, but if Israel is directly involved in war against a Muslim country, it will awaken more than 2 Billion people. and all the consequences that come with it
