Who is taking advantage of the crisis in Lebanon?

 People in Lebanon have been demanding the exit of the corrupt leaders and political party as a government that is not associated with the current ruling party replaces the current order and tightens anti-corruption measures while implementing pending reforms.

Lebanon is in the worst state a country could be in. There is economic crisis, political order has failed, situation after the Beirut blast is out of control and there many other problems that the country is facing along with active terrorism in place.

Last month acting prime minister of the country, Mustafa Adib, resigned after failing to form a government despite warnings from European countries. In August, the public protested after the then prime minister, Hassan Diab, failed to address the beirut blast and take immediate measures for the public.

One of the prime causes of the situation is corruption. The level of corruption in the middle eastern country has increased to the extent that one can not even calculate where and when has the money been used or whose pocket it has filled. The currency has also depreciated by 80% due to which, there are interruptions in the supply of medicines, grain, fuel, prices and the number of unemployed are growing.

Lebanon along with Syria, Iraq and Yemen have become places to serve larger interests for Iran. Iran aims at taking over the middle eastern nations to dominate the region. Hezbollah has a great influence in Lebanon and it is a known fact that Iran funds the terrorist group. Slowly the group is capturing weaker nations and claiming territories to let Iran finally take over the charge of it,

Other Arab nations will be only helping Lebanon if a stable government is ensured by the order. That has left a lot of scope for Iran to fulfill its selfish needs. Even America has shown quite a lot of interest in Lebanon but stopped mid way after seeing that anything crossing the Lebanon border needs Hezbollah approval. China on the other hand is only focusing on the benefits. The total cost of China's projects in Lebanon was estimated at $ 12.5 billion. The rapprochement between Lebanon and China is approved by Hezbollah.

Turkey is another factor why the country is unable to sustain a government. One of the reasons why Adib resigned was Turkey’s influence in the region. It is also looking for power and squeezing out oil from Tripoli. So needless to say, this vulnerability of Lebanon is an advantage for a lot of other countries who are looking to use the situation to their convenience and create more trouble for the country.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

  Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
