The most interesting twist to all this: if shit pops off in Lebanon then for perhaps the first time ever, the party favored by Zionists & neocons will be the Christians (specifically, Maronites, bitter enemies of both Hezbollah and Assad since the original Lebanese Civil War & Syrian intervention by Assad's dad in said LCW). They used to form the majority of Lebanon's population & ruling class and hope to do so again is higher than it's been since like, Bachir Gemayel (their strongest leader) was assassinated by a Syrian agent in 1982. They may even get help from Trump despite his normal non-interventionist inclinations because his in-law & Mideastern policy advisor, Massad Boulos, is a Lebanese Christian.
