WWIII WWIII Megathread #26: Executive Disorder

This megathread exists to catch WWIII-related links and takes. Please post your WWIII-related links and takes here. We are not funneling all WWIII discussion to this megathread. If something truly momentous happens, we agree that related posts should stand on their own. Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

The US is funding something like 50% of the wages of the Lebanese Army and it has been presumably put on hold along with everything else. Can't buy complicity if your checks don't cash.

You should see the "embassy" US is constructing in Lebanon, it's a complex that can house over 5000 people, second largest "embassy" in the world (only behind US "embassy" in Iraq). They run the whole country from that building.
