Um, they've started to try to reverse the sequencing on this.
So Lebanon has done a lot more to undermine its confidence in uh our confidence in Beirut.
And we should, we should act accordingly, right?
We should start with a realistic image of what we can expect based on the social, political, and military dynamics in the country.
And we should also treat each actor based on.
Now they've proven to us they shouldn't be treated.
And I don't think treating Israel and Lebanon equally uh is is is uh justified by the fact.
It's certainly not justified to treat Israel as if it's the naughty, you know, the naughty child where Lebanon is treated as if it's the the upstanding part US partner.
That that even makes you know that that makes the uh uh the approach even more problematic.
Look, I mean, we've been their largest backer uh since two thousand five at least.
We've trained and equipped the LAF.
We provide them with uh you know millions of dollars annually.
I'm I'm trying to remember the total we provided them um overall.
I think it's somewhere you know, don't quote me on this, it's somewhere on the five billion uh number close g give or take.
Um sorry, the the the number's not coming to my mind exactly right now, but and we're promising more.
That's that's what's more important.
Lebanon is coming to us and saying
We you know, this argument that we just simply lack the means to do what's necessary and we're promising more.
There are proposals to even kind of have line items where we uh or bills where we whereby we pay the LAF salaries where the Lebanese armed forces or the Lebanese government is unable to pay the salaries of the Lebanese armed forces and the internal security forces.
So they're asking us for something.
