foreign minister abdallah bou habib in beirut, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. mr foreign minister, ijust wonder whether right now it feels to you like this conflict is spiralling out of control. you are watching it from beirut as the war rages in gaza between israel and hamas. but do you fear it is going to spread much wider? well, we are afraid that it may spread. but i can say that i am now less pessimistic than i was at the beginning. i think here there is a conviction, at least in lebanon, that we don t want war. we have a lot of problems, economic, political and social problems, and everyone in lebanon does not want war. but it all depends on israel. israel also threatened us many times, to have a pre emptive strike on lebanon, and what s happening in gaza. i mean, you cannot.you know, the people here are interrelated. we have half a million palestinians in lebanon. and, you know, there are a lot of people that are resistance minded. they re not only in lebanon. in syri

it was bizarre. the whole speech was like that. it had a hallucinogenic quality, like it wasn t quite real. but then joe biden himself isn t quite real. maybe that s the reason he talks that way. biden has been living in utter seclusion for more than a year. he hasn t spoken to anyone but his own lackeys. he hasn t driven a car or sat on a grass and looked at the sky, or been anywhere or done anything except in the most controlled possible environment. what an incredibly weird life that is. joe biden must imagine that everyone in america is terrified of corona as he is, and is living in the same kind of bunker. joe biden is totally cut off. alex berenson described last night s speech as late soviet. the more we thought about it, the more perfect that seemed. here s a clip of russia s own joe biden, the late like biden, he was very also like biden, despite his frailty, he never lost the enthusiasm for pointless wars. he is the one who ordered the soviet invasion of afghani
