โ€” By the way, try to curb your expectations for tomorrow's speech. The world is not a playground and wars are more likely avoided than initiated.

I'm not saying we won't see an unprecedented announcement tomorrow, but the chances are quite slim. That being said, I do expect justifications for significant further escalation, just not full scale war.

Hezbollah does not need the advice of keyboard warriors and armchair generals, so keep your comments to yourself. They have saved Lebanon from occupation two times in the past, they know what's up.
