A high-ranking member of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says US President Donald Trump’s administration is in a state of confusion concerning the developments unfolding in Middle East, stating that Washington’s schemes in the region will not thrive.
“(The United States of) America knows that its ability to change equations in the region is weak because there are resistance fighters and a resistance front. Therefore, it cannot dictate what it wants and impose its Israeli and non-Israeli plans,” Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said.
He then advised leaders of the Persian Gulf kingdoms to review their foreign policy, emphasizing that US plots in the Middle East will fail as the anti-Israel resistance front is confronting them with all available means.
On March 8, the Hezbollah secretary general said the anti-Israel resistance front, thanks to solid and unwavering support from Iran and Syria, has well managed to frustrate the Tel Aviv regime’s plots in the Middle East.
“All Lebanese and Palestinian resistance groups, supported by Iran and Syria, thwarted the project to pull the plug on the front. The steadfastness and resilience demonstrated by Hezbollah in Lebanon, Gazans, Syria as well as Iran foiled the fiendish plot against the region back in 2006,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said as he addressed his supporters via a televised speech broadcast live from the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Sheikh Qassem on January 17 accused the Israeli regime of being behind most crises in the Middle East region.
“The Israeli occupation [regime] is the biggest problem in our region. It intervenes in world’s issues… [while] the Unites States and Europe help it to normalize relations with some Arab countries, so that the regime is accepted internationally and regionally in particular,” Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said in an interview with Arabic-language al-Manar television network.
He added, “Israel is the main problem in the region as it is behind many existing crises. This region will continue to suffer from successive and cumulative crises as long as the Israeli occupation [regime] exists and acts in such an aggressive manner under American supervision.”
Trump is now working very hard to change the topic from Venezuela.
Some people just can not be reasoned with, criticized, or finally, reformed. They just simply shut up and go to war.
Let the grief begin.
If you truly believe that all the other seven billion plus human beings are innately and utterly inferior to your tribe, some thirty million strong, and you even hate those of your own community who do not share your racist, fascist and terrorist beliefs, then you belong in an asylum for the criminally insane, not in total command of US politics.
Not sure where that came from, I operate from the laws of nature, of which no one can escape, not even you.
They do not discriminate, they bring little men to their knees, they heal the sick, and curse the wicked, you appear to be in the latter from the frustration I sense in your comment, the edge is for looking, not jumping.
Funny God made the arabs the chosen people, but the jews rejected it on the basis that the mother of the Abraham´s firstborn was an slave, so being a bunch of racist inbreed they decided for God, that his son wasn´t a pureblood and not good enough for the jews. So they declared themselves the chosen ones.
People know about the christian belief, that they killed jesus, but the fact of the matter is, that they have burned, tortured and killed prophet after prophet after prophet and messangers of God!! And if it wasn´t enough the distorted their lives and turned them into the scum of the earth, thieves, rapists and murderers! They even knew and had been told by their rabbis , that Mohammad would rise as the Prophet of God, so they left their homes and immigrated to the deserts of Mecca and Medina, waiting for him to be born and then began a lifelong hunt to kill him from the time he was a little baby. But they did kill our Prophets father and his grandfather before him in the hope, that he would never be born! It is a historical fact and even the names of them is known!
What ever Hiter did to you jews, the jews have done far worse to the palestinians. When it comes to misery, the nazi have to go to school and learn from you monstrous zionists! funny though nowadays bill maher and even George Galloway sing the song of the jewish intellect. Still thausands of years and nothing, but still funnier is, that their intellect follows the money too and can only be found, where the money is! And what have you used your newfound superior inttelct to achieve? A long history of degeneracy and revolutions and wars for their own gain. There have been many Holocuasts in history and behind them all, you will find jews. After all holocaust means sacrifice and you have sacrificed millions upon millions upon millions at the alter of your immoral alters of golden calfs! After all according to them, and that is only according to them and even then according to themselves God turned his back on them, the rest of the human race is lower than dogs. According to these scum of the earth we have no soul and we are born to be their slaves. Funny how 15 000 000 million think of us 7 000 000 000 human being on this earth. They are superiro allright:

What God would ever look with mercy at you the sons of the second born?! You monkeys know and it is written in your own legends, that we iranians and Shia will destroy you. Ask your rabbis!
Just the Shia, would the Sunnis not join you?
You need to jump, Alabama, and put your faith in your wings. My comment was apropos your observation that there are some people who cannot be reasoned with, the prime example of which, in my opinion, are the Zionazis.
Here is a real iranian revolutionary for you too. A great iranian revolutionary, that the is unknown in the west. See what he says about Rouhani and Zarif and Nasrullah!

Enjoy!
wow – thanks Minute by Minute – watching now – I have an Iranian friend that can’t stand the present government officials of Iran –
Sadly the real iranian revolution and revolutionaries are in fact unknown in the west. Since nobody else seems to do it, I have to start a youtube channel and begin translating some videos for you. Believe me, you will be surprised and will know how antirevolutionary the iranian governments have been.
so true – I wish Israel would cease and desist – from existence
Israel cannot now disappear, without ‘…taking the world down with us’. It must, somehow, be made to cease being racist, terrorist and fascistic and behave as if they believe in the unity of humanity, particularly in the face of the ecological Holocaust.
If people were to be so called “ceased being racist….” They would have been able to have done so by now, the fact that some of these people never can cease bad behavior, only suggest that they never will stop doing it.
The laws of #’s and majority rule make this so, butt that the one thing I dont like about majority rule, they can be dead wrong about so many things, and the only reason it is sustainable, is b/c they are in the majority.
The Jews are just like any collective, whether ‘racial’, religious or cultural. Some are good, some are bad, and many are in between. They even change through life, some becoming better, others worse. They are, after all, and despite the religious delusions of some, just human beings like the est of us. Where they do differ from all other groups is in the money power of their elites. While it is, of course, forbidden to mention it, the fact is that Jewish money power controls US politics, and thereby allows Israel to be an outlaw, racist, apartheid, terrorist, aggressive regime that treats International Law with utter contempt. And to say so will end your public life anywhere in the West, under the false (well, usually) accusation of ‘antisemitism’. It is a racket without any precedent that I know of. Jews, no matter what their behaviour, no matter how vile it would be judged if committed by a goy, MUST not, under any circumstances, EVER be criticised. All criticism of the actions of ANY Jew anywhere, ever, are deemed, instantly and irreversibly, as merely a manifestation of the hatred of the critic. The plain corollary of this bizarre doctrine is the more or less explicit assertion that Jews, unique among all human groups, are incapable of crime or acting with malice, or even of making a mistake. And that ‘antisemitism’ dogma is enforced with brutal rigour in the West, and it is even used as an aggressive political weapon, as in the case of the ‘antisemitism’ crisis in UK Labour, where the accusations are almost entirely, and brazenly, invented, and to point out their falsity has become, itself, an ‘antisemitic’ act.
He’s correct, in my opinion, regarding Talmudistan. It, and its supremacist and aggressive ideology, Zionazism, are a threat to the whole world.
They have deployed considerable firepower regardless. Interesting to see how this could play out.

One wonders how secure American naval and ground assets really are from a potential missile attack. Based on this recent combat test in early May, I would argue not very much at all… This military disadvantage could be the key to deterring the U.S. from starting a war. 🇮🇷 🇺🇸
https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/radar-evading-ballistic-missiles-from-north-korea-aegis-air-defence-system-fails-to-track-new-projectiles
A few years back IRGC tested a 2000km antiship ballistic missile. They even publicized the test. At the time the american denied the existance of such a missile, but they moved their fleet out of the Persian Golf and placed them in the Indian Ocean out of the reach of the missile! They did send spy planes to observe the test and the IRGC allowed them to do it.
The commander of the IRGC aerospace forces Amir Ali Hajizadeh has mentioned the test a few times in different interviews and finds it interesting, that it is the only time, that usa has not metioned the missile or the test in any shape or form anywhere!
The fact of the matter is, that the usa navy has no defense against the missile. As far as we know the missile is one of a kind and it will cut through their carriers like butter!
The problem for Hezbollah today is not Israel, but the US. If the US joins Israel in attacking Hezbollah, Hezbollah will have much worse problems than it did in 2006.
The US can bring two things to the war that Israel didn’t have in 2006 and doesn’t have now: 1) large numbers of US troops, and 2) strategic bombers used in a tactical manner, as was done in Vietnam
Colonel Pat Lang has pointed out that strategic bombers can almost literally “plow land” from high altitude bombing using very heavy bomb loads. We’re talking 20-foot-deep craters and bunker busters that can reach deep into the earth. If the US conducts such saturation bombing in Southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, Hezbollah is likely to lose much of its bunker infrastructure and missile caches.
The presence of thousands of US troops in support of Israeli troops would enable the sort of clearing operations that would make Hezbollah presence in its strongholds much more difficult than what Israel could do alone.
I’m not saying that US assistance of this sort would necessarily destroy Hezbollah or even all of Hezbollah’s missile assets. But it’s clear that a war of this magnitude in Lebanon would be much more effective and much more damaging than the Israeli 2006 effort.
The goal of such a war would be to degrade Hezbollah’s missile arsenal to the degree that Israel would feel it can handle whatever remains should Hezbollah support Iran in a US/Israel war against Iran. Israel can’t afford to have Hezbollah support Iran in an Iran war because Hezbollah could seriously damage Israel’s economy with its missile arsenal. And Israel knows it can’t take on Hezbollah alone prior to an Iran war without suffering the same level of damage.
But if the US joins Israel, all bets are off as to whether Hezbollah could survive with enough firepower to deter Israel and the US from starting an Iran war.
Of course, the strategic bombing I’ve mentioned would kill thousands of Lebanese civilians – something Israel has been threatening to do repeatedly since the 2006 war. And we all know the US couldn’t care less about civilian casualties. But if Israel and the US want an Iran war, this is what they will have to do.
Trump probably thinks he can get a “poll bump” in the 2020 elections if he can claim he “kept Israel safe by destroying a terrorist group that threatened Israel.” Certainly this is the line his neocon advisers will tell him. And since Trump is a buffoon when it comes to foreign policy, especially his antipathy to Iran and its allies, it will be easy to lead him by the nose to authorize an attack on Hezbollah. All it would take is some false flag Israeli operation on the border between Israel and Lebanon.
I think we are at risk of another Lebanon war either this summer or next summer.
@Hack: “The US can bring two things to the war against little Lebanon: 1) large numbers of US troops,…”
1) a million U$ troops in Iraq didn’t work out for Shrub Bush. Once more, how is the POTU$A going to hide all those body bags? Yankee bodies returning in thousands, not only from Iraq this time but also from Lebanon, Syria and Iran — allies now firmly bonded to Hezb by blood shared in victory against half a million NATZO foot soldiers in Syria.
“and 2) strategic bombers as in Vietnam”.
2) Totalen krieg machen? Ask Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon; I seem to hear some POTU$ ghosts whispering, Shhusssh about Vietnam, we’re trying to sleep.
The killing of civilians is a mitzvah or good deed under Talmudic Judaic law. So the more dead goyim in Lebanon the better for Yahweh and his Representative on Earth, Bibi Satan-yahoo. Of course, at the first sign of US terror bombing Hezbollah must unleash its missiles on Israel, and if it civilians are butchered in Lebanon, then I suspect that Hezbollah will be inclined to pay the Gods Upon the Earth back in their own coin. If so, I can see Tel Aviv being emptied pretty quick, as the flight back to Brooklyn and Golders Green reaches a fever pitch.
Hezbollah is not foolish enough to repeat the same tactics again. On the other hand it could work like a butch cassidy and sundance kid heist, since they know, that Hezbollah knows and Hezbollah knows, that israhelli know!
Regardless Hezbollah doesnt have a Maginot line for the usa to carpetbomb. They are guerilla fighters and the usa would have a hard time, if any, to find them. It didnt work in vietnam will not work anywhere else either, just take a look and Afghanistan. A large usa contingent just make a large target for guerilla warfare.
Iran also knows better than to let hezbollah down by making them dependent on iranian deliveries, that may not come. The father of iranian rocket technology Tehrani Moghadam was working on fuels made of everyday items for the iranian military industry to make sure, that we would be able to fight regardless of circumstances of the war. Hezbollah has been given blueprints, to make sure, they can survive a long war and they are producing some of their needs.
Who knows when the war will come. Nasrullh has recently said, that he may not survive the next war. But the fight will go on!

America in one song. It is with sub!
By the way, the reason strategic bombing did not change the result in Vietnam is for two reasons: 1) Vietnam was jungle, and bombing and defoliating parts of it still leaves a lot of it, and 2) the Viet Cong could hide better in jungle than Hezbollah can hide in Lebanon.
The problem for Hezbollah is that strategic bombing can destroy large swaths of area to a depth of twenty feet. This was very effective against specifically targeted areas in Vietnam. Also, Hezbollah can’t move its bunkers or its missile caches while under massive sustained high-level bombing. B-52’s can effectively destroy those bunkers and caches. So the US concentrates its massive bombing in Southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley and that will be more effective than anything Israel can do on its own. The face that it will also result in massive civilian casualties is something Israel will be very happy about.
As for US troops, having, say, ten or twenty thousand or so US troops joined with Israeli troops makes it much easier to root out Hezbollah forces than anything Israel can do on its own. It will cost US lives but at most on a par with Iraq or Afghanistan because Hezbollah forces are much smaller than what the US was facing in the other two countries. Only when the US tries to occupy the coast of Iran will it suffer huge casualties.
There’s no guarantee that a US-Israeli attack on Hezbollah will succeed in destroying Hezbollah, but the goal is more to degrade Hezbollah’s ability to fire missiles over the entire area of Israel by forcing Hezbollah further north and by destroying a significant percentage of Hezbollah missiles.
This is a very valid – if not guaranteed – approach and one we should expect to be implemented at some point.
This military tension in the Middle East revolves around two issues (1) the theft of land and (2) control of petroleum resources.
Theft of Land
The conflict started with the Zionist’s illegal occupation of Palestine. The Persian and Arab governments in the region have tried to get the European countries and the U.S. to confront the Israeli “Lebensraum” plan of expansion but they refuse due to powerful, financial influences on the elected politicians. Israeli supporters cleverly wrap the Hebrew history of the Kingdom of Israel around this 21st century struggle to unlawfully justify the claim of Gentile land.
Israel spends billions of shekels and man hours to guard over 100 checkpoints, maintain the 200 mile apartheid wall, patrol the Mediterranean Sea to harass Gaza fishermen and protect the settlers in the West Bank while they steal more Palestinian land. All of this returns little value and is a waste of capital that could be put to more productive use.
Israel should end the occupation and realize a separate Palestinian nation is a future economic market with low transportation costs to exchange goods across each other’s defined borders.
Control of Petroleum Resources
The oil reserves owned by Iran and its Arab neighbors is the number one commodity in the international markets of commerce. The U.S. wants to dominate the world’s supply of oil in the Middle East so it can impose its own agenda upon lesser countries dependent on oil to fuel their economies.
The contention with Venezuela is presented to the public as being about democratic freedom but again, it’s about the large oil reserves.
The U.S.A. is the only country in the world that still practices the “3-B” foreign policy (Bribing, Bullying, Bombing) to intimidate other nations. It will be their undoing as the economies of other countries expand and learn to exchange goods with each other (e.g. Belt and Road Initiative) and use different currencies other than the U.S. dollar to settle commercial transactions.
The U.S. will become isolated because it refuses to change its failed policies that lead to a poorer economy for its people.
True, but:
“The U.S. will become isolated because it refuses to change its failed policies that lead to a poorer economy for its people.”
I fear that the US government doesn’t care sh*t for their people. They work for a few filthy rich oligarchs, and are prepared to commit genocide to get these people even more filthy rich.
The *official* unemployment rate in the USA is somewhere under 10%. However, the boundary conditions are changed regularly to keep that (e.g. people unemployed for a certain time are not accounted for anymore). You can also calculate in reverse. Count all people that are able to work (substract kids, students, disabled, retired and the like) and than count people that actually work. Than it results that the actual unemployment in the USA is somewhat north of 30%, and that’s not particularly better than, say, Greece.
Just hit a search engine with terms like ‘tent cities in America’ and be surprised about the amount of homeless people.
Companies buy their own stocks to cook the books. There are thousands of acres hidden in the west, loaded with unsold new cars. We are desperately yelling that everything is fine, but don’t look in all directions.
Trump may tweet his pants off that the stock markets are so great, but for a large part it’s just hot air. It just takes a small needle to blow that big balloon.
Not that I am smiling about it, because when the USA economy hits the wall, we all do.
Cheers, Rob
I am going to steal the 3 B´s from you. Nice one!
