The American ambassador threatens a complete collapse … and negative signs...

Al-Akhbar newspaper wrote: “The American ambassador to Beirut, Dorothy Shea, no longer hides the orientations of her country in the last two months of Donald Trump’s term. The “friend” of the United States of America coexists with the hegemony of Hezbollah, and those forces must fall for Hezbollah to fall. She adds that any aid will not come from abroad without a radical change. And when some of those who meet the ambassador say that what she says means the fall of Lebanon Towards the chasm of a comprehensive collapse, you respond that “the cost of coexisting with Hezbollah is greater than the cost of any other option, and it is not our responsibility to save you if you do not save yourselves.” Some embassy visitors argue that the damage to Hezbollah as a result of the total collapse will not exceed 10 percent of The harm that will be inflicted on others, because “the party is more capable of managing its regions” and can import medicine and oil from Syria and Iran, but Sia considers that this is an exaggeration.

The ambassador’s statement expresses the opinion of a soon departed administration. But no one can guarantee a fundamental change in the directions of the next administration. Also negative signs are those coming from Paris. It is true that French President Emmanuel Macron is still adhering to his initiative towards Lebanon to the extent of his insistence on coming to Beirut before the end of this year. However, the conference that he will organize under the title of supporting Lebanon, at a presidential level, will be exclusively dedicated to “stabilizing the aid that was announced after the port explosion », And it will not include any announcement of new aid, according to follow-up diplomatic sources.
This “gloomy” international atmosphere is matched by a darker internal atmosphere, due to the inability of the ruling class to manage the collapse, until the stage of canceling subsidies on vital commodities.
