No more illusions, no more pleasantries, and no more poetic rhetoric—just the harsh, undeniable truth. President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam have utterly failed to take decisive, sovereign stances that align with Aoun’s inaugural oath and Salam’s pledges. Instead, they have disgracefully plunged into a swamp of submission and servitude to Nabih Berri and Hezbollah.
Every move they have made thus far in dealing with Berri, Mohammad Raad, the two Khalils, and the rest of the so-called “Resistance” faction has been a catastrophic blunder—100% wrong, or rather, a fatal betrayal. Their miscalculations expose appalling shortsightedness, a total inability to grasp the Iranian project and its destructive Lebanese proxies, and a dangerous blindness to Berri’s mafia-like stranglehold over the country.
A truly patriotic and sovereign government would have been formed without Hezbollah, without Berri, and without the corrupt political class that has bled Lebanon dry.
Instead, Aoun and Salam have chosen the disgraceful path of submission, appeasement, and power-sharing with the very forces responsible for Lebanon’s destruction. The result? No one dares challenge Berri’s tyranny, Hezbollah’s armed occupation remains untouched, and the so-called “new Aoun tenure” has collapsed before it even began. Along with it, every hope of restoring Lebanon’s sovereignty and breaking free from Iran’s grip has been crushed.
If Aoun and Salam do not immediately correct their humiliating course of submission, then resignation is their only honorable option. Lebanon’s true sovereign and patriotic forces, in coordination with allied nations, must act decisively to declare Lebanon a rogue and failed state and demand its placement under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. This would pave the way for international intervention to dismantle Hezbollah’s occupation, crush Iranian control, and restore Lebanon’s independence.
The time for hesitation is over. Lebanon must be rescued now—or it will be lost forever!
