And this is all humanitarian aid! You can cook cartridges, and carry cotrabandu on tourists' helicopters. UAVs will also adapt, to the radio apparatus - they will listen to the voice of America or sell there to Iran.

But in Lebanon, Hezbollah is one of the most important forces ... so to whom did they put the weapons?

[voyaka uh]

The Americans want the Lebanese army to somehow oppose
Hezbollah. But this does not happen. Lebanese Christians are tired of many years
wars with Muslims and Syrians. The Druze do not want to fight for anyone at all.
And in Hezbollah (and Lebanese Shiites in general), Iran is constantly pouring money.
Therefore, the Lebanese army is seated on bases. And if they are attacked
on the way (on patrol) a Hezbollah unit - they give up weapons without a fight.
