Sigh. Some of my immediate family have served in the Leb. What people think it is is not what it actually is.
I will give a TLDR version. Lebanese gov incompetence placed three things in the same place. An anfo warehouse, their grain store and a fireworks factory.
Well that was smart right?
Now they have no port, just a honking great crater. This means that any aid cannot be landed Have you seen the astonishing hole? I can hand it to anyone, but I am wondering if you realise just how fucked Beirut really is?
Lebanon always gets the shitty end of the stick. The Israelis kick the shit out of them, so do the Syrians when they actually had a country, and the Egyptians and take your pick.
Every time they look even vaguely close to digging themselves out of that pit of oblivion, some religious loon drags them back in.
I like their culture, cuisine and whatnot. The religious want to kill it.
