Obama has decided to give the Lebanese army 8.7 million dollars to due Hezbollah's "growing influence." I have a few problems with this, firstly this "aid" is more likely to be a bribe and secondly it means that america is feeling threatened by Hezbollah's growing strength in the region especially in helping the Syrian Arab Army. This whole process makes me quite uneasy as it is clearly created to overturn or reduce Hezbollah's power by trying to make the Lebanese army stronger. i think the deal is an outright insult to the militant group who have over the years defeated countries thought to be invisible AKA Israel (2006). Obama went on to prove my point saying “The United States strongly rejects Hezbollah’s deep involvement in the Syrian conflict, which at this point has displaced millions of people and threatens to destabilize the region.” And then went on to say that the US “strongly supports the role of the Lebanese armed forces in maintaining Lebanon’s stability, and today we’re announcing an additional $8.7 million that would provide needed equipment in support of the Lebanese armed forces in internal stability and border security missions.” Although i would like to point out that if it wasn't for Hezbollah Lebanon would have absolutely no military strength or security.
In other news, and this one is kinda big South American governments such as Venezuela and Argentina have outright denounced America and The NSA for spying on the countries. And then to top it off Maduro cancelled his speech to the general assembly because it could have threatened his safety, i do not find this hard to believe after America's dis respectable treatment of the Venezuela president. “I had to fulfill my maximum objective, to preserve my physical integrity, my life, and Venezuelan honor,” Maduro said. Maduro last week was briefly denied access to U.S. airspace on his way to China, which he described as an example of "U.S. aggression" against his socialist government.Again it isn't hard to believe as he has taken a stance against America with both Syria and the NSA. Only time will tell what will happen with both Lebanon and Venezuela.
