US officials believe they can exploit the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah’s disarray to push for the election of a president in Lebanon, according to Axios.

    Belarus under Lukashenko was at first opposed to Yeltsin’s Russia, then tried to become neutral until USA and their Polish and Baltic puppets organised coup there which finally forced Belarus to side with Russia, but all that time Russia didn’t installed anything there, it’s the same government there.
