Eh, even if it wasn’t destroyed, the atmosphere of fear these types of news creates is still desirable, especially if it leads to record lines at airports for flights booking it to NYC

Could be that after the airbases were attacked they just don’t have the means to do that ATM besides scrambling a bunch of fighters from Cyprus to raid Beirut. I guess we’ll see.

FWIW, their SG was also assassinated in 1992 and occupation papers were saying that Hezbollah was finished.

Welp, what’s done is done. The question is what comes next. All out regional war tomorrow?

The guy was already retired for over 7 months so assassinating him was pretty pointless. If Xi was worried about him restraining power why not do it during the 10 years where he actually had influence? Yeah, there’s conspiracies about his death floating about in the country but that just means the assassination hypothesis is even more absurd. Why would anyone risk a public backlash for essentially no gain?
