With Europe and NATO’s uncertain future under a new American regime headed by Donald Trump, the majority of the world’s eyes are fixed on the White House, morbidly curious to see which soon-to-be former US ally is next on the chopping block. Trump’s wave of tariffs on his allies and China have been the largest shakeup in American foreign policy since Pearl Harbour.

The steadfast support of the US and other allies despite the risk of legal complicity seems at least partly attributable to the influential military-industrial complex.

Since 2019, the small eastern Mediterranean country of Lebanon has been embroiled in a major economic meltdown. For a country seemingly in perpetual crisis, this seems to be just another chapter in its long history of age-old rivalries and foreign interference.
