  1. SS:

    A Lebanese source familiar with the decision says the funding includes $190 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces and $40 million for the Internal Security Forces.

    “For a small country like Lebanon, that’s really, really significant,” one of the aides says on a call with reporters, requesting anonymity

    The funding was released at a time when the Republican president’s administration has been slashing many foreign assistance programs

  2. I feel like the only way to disarm Hezbollah is to fix Lebanon sectarianism 

  3. Trump can’t fund health insurance subsidies for Americans but he can send 230M to another country.

    America first, what a joke.

  4. Sounds good to me. Have we been funding the Lebanese military previously or is this a new precedent?
