“... Another example of how countries like Syria & Iran can play a long game, knowing that we can’t.”

"... After taking command, Suleimani strengthened relationships in Lebanon, with Mughniyeh and with Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s chief. By then, the Israeli military had occupied southern Lebanon for sixteen years, so Suleimani sent in Quds Force operatives to help. “They had a huge presence—training, advising, planning,” Crocker said. In 2000, the Israelis withdrew, exhausted by relentless Hezbollah attacks. It was a signal victory for the Shiites, and, Crocker said, “another example of how countries like Syria and Iran can play a long game, knowing that we can’t.”

My guess is Dexter Filkins is an asset of the Zionist Entity. Yeah, I suppose it is a good idea to keep an eye his/their propaganda since the demographic is the so-called sophisticated Manhattan urbanite. But when I forged ahead into that article, into his description of the Hariri assassination, i lost interest cuz it was such hog wash(hog wash is an Indiana colloquialism, apologies it is pronounce hawg warsh in Indiana)
Very frustrating to see the level of intense Zionist propaganda.
