The recent visit of the Lebanese President Michel Aoun to Moscow, especially those close to any American delegation coming to Beirut regardless of its importance or status, has not longed for many. It is important to them that he is from the land of Uncle Sam, the source of the excessive democracy he is trying to spread throughout the world.
However, there are great difficulties facing these objectives through direct and indirect obstacles that are practiced in various economic, political and military sectors to keep Lebanon out of Russia by all means available. The United States has historical relations with influential Lebanese figures who can, whenever they want, obstruct everything for the United States and its influence. In the region.
Over the past ten years, Russia has been able to regain its role in the Middle East through the Syrian window next to Lebanon. This has upset the Americans and made their role recede and the pressure tools are shrinking and weakening despite their strong presence in the region.
Lebanon is absent from the exhibition "Jeremiah 2019" Russian
Lebanon was supposed to have a large official presence during the "Jeremiah 2019" forum, but something happened to keep Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Boussab and his accompanying delegation in Beirut. This is not the first time that Lebanon has failed to fulfill its duties, but it is constantly being repeated as if it were a planned process to disturb all the recent successes of the Lebanese presidency with the Russian leadership.
Lebanon is delaying the signing of a military cooperation agreement with Russia. Since September 2017, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has evaded the matter despite his various statements and arguments about procrastination and failure to implement the order.
Lebanese sources pointed out that the Lebanese absence in the person of Defense Minister Elias Boussab was forced because Hariri did not give a formal government authorization to the minister to sign the treaty with Russia on the pretext of travel of the Lebanese Prime Minister abroad. Consequently, the Lebanese Minister of Defense boycotted the event to avoid being embarrassed by the promises he made. To President Michel Aoun.
There is no doubt that the political behavior of the Lebanese Prime Minister came to obstruct again. The sources considered that Hariri's absence came at the right time to evade the responsibility of the signing, and thus attempt to put Lebanese President Michel Aoun and the defense minister in an embarrassing situation for Russia.
The Lebanese website also revealed an incident that alarmed Russia and was the source of Saad Hariri's adviser for Russian affairs, George Shaaban, who according to the site bypassed the Lebanese government by informing the deputy defense minister that the military cooperation treaty would not be signed before the budget was approved. Which considered that the body authorized to speak on this issue is the Lebanese Ministry of Defense exclusively.
These details are the biggest proof that the outcome today is deliberate thanks to the policies adopted by a political team trying as much as possible to provide service to his American ally at the expense of his country and its army and security, by ignoring the specific weapon of the Lebanese army instead of getting armored vehicles to transport troops and old helicopters capable only To extinguish fires.

Lebanon…. A fertile American land
Historically, Lebanon has been a country under American political influence. This was reflected in the American foreign policy strategies of the last decades, in addition to the nature of the Western-backed Lebanese regime that fought the socialist and communist axis in those periods.
Lebanon is also an important country for the United States, where Washington is building the largest US embassy in the region on the Lebanese Ookar hill, in addition to using Lebanese airports for the landing of various military aircraft in agreement with the Lebanese side in the framework of joint military cooperation agreements.
This is in addition to the military ideology of Lebanon, which relies on the American system and the officers acquire scientific and combat expertise in military institutes in the United States of America.
