Who is Hezbollah now?

 @Equ4lRightsDanRepublican from Wisconsin  disagreed…1yr1Y

Strongest non state army in the world, they are a militia in Lebanon with thousands of advanced rockets and experienced soldiers

 @PieCalLibertarian from Virginia  disagreed…1yr1Y

So it’s like Hamas but from Lebanon?

 @Equ4lRightsDanRepublican from Wisconsin  agreed…1yr1Y

Yes but like 30 times stronger and they won already two times against israel in 1985 and 2006

 @TrustingMandat3Libertarian from Wisconsin  commented…1yr1Y

Good. Now Israel will be the same as Ukraine.

America and the West will use taxpayer money to fund the military-industrial complex, enriching themselves while Israel loses all of its infantry units.

They are about to lose all their terrorist manpower in these Greater Israel invasions and resort to bombing innocents again

If a group poses a threat to your country, do you believe responding with military force is always justified, or are there better ways to handle such conflicts?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What are your thoughts on the impact of conflicts like this on civilians living in the affected areas, and how should their safety and wellbeing be considered in military decisions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Considering the potential for large-scale conflict, how important do you think it is for international communities to intervene in disputes like these?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you feel about a country mobilizing such a large number of troops in response to a threat, and what implications do you think it has for peace in the region?

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
