I am honestly not sure if it is Biden’s decision after I saw how cooked his brains were. More likely he just read whatever his party/vice president decided.

How so? This was much more common in the past. It’s become much less of the norm since we have international instituations like the UN.

So it’s not the norm, it is becoming the norm. you answered it yourself.

right, but this isn’t [email protected]. And I don’t think it’s onion-y.

My comment is not the post, the post is onion-y

They are funded by and acting in the interest of Iran. But it wouldn’t really change anything if they were local. It still means the government is only partially in control of the country.

This makes no sense.

It is not the norm, it is becoming the norm. Nothing to shrug about, it is quite dystopian.
And how is Hezbollah not a local military? As far as I know, they have existed before the Iranian revolution.

It is the US that has the military power. Israel has already tried going into Lebanon before and failed, so I think if they do it they must be pretty confident that America will come to their aid.

That is fair, although if you read some of the newest Onion articles it definitely sounds like them.

I mean it is the same with Putin, saying Ukraine is not a real country, he is not going to stop at Ukraine. Something similar might happen in Armenia too, things are becoming ugly.
