What about the UN What about ASHTON Hezbollah is plain and simple a Terrorist Gang occupying one third of the Country of Lebanon on behalf of its Paymasters Iran and Syria under the pretext of 'protecting' Lebanon The cost of their nightmare presence to Lebanon is estimated at $100billion to the Lebanese Economy when you take into account also all of their wars with Israel And what about their huge arsenal of rockers buried in underground bunkers...they threaten to use against Israel...but what you don't hear too often is their threat to use their weapons to take over Lebanon should they feel theirs and their sponsors position threatened But even Hezbollah Fighters sick of the Hezbollah agenda are now speaking with their feet and despite dire warnings of retribution are deserting this sinking (stinking) ship in droves

In the near future, the US third party sanctions will be ignored and US businesses will be counter-sanctioned. Once the US business and banking sectors start getting hit with trade wars, the US third party sanctions will quietly disappear. The US has no power to do any unilateral actions and will get whacked hard the more it tries. The US is economically very vulnerable.
