Cutting off LAF funding is the dumbest thing we could do if we are trying to weaken Hezbollah. As stopping Ukraine aid helped Russia, here the hold empowers Iran to step into the vacuum. And it could lead to the collapse of the country which would be a national security disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Just like w the Ukraine aid, Trump has given Congress no reason for the funding hold. Some say he wants to cut off funding bc Hezbollah still has influence in Lebanon. This is true, but they have the least influence in the LAF, the counterweight to Hezbollah. — PolitiTweet.org

The bottom line is simple: (1) in a way this is Ukraine again - it’s not legal for Trump to hold funding that Congress authorized; (2) whatever his reason, defunding the Lebanese military does the exact opposite of our policy goals, and signals another abandonment of a key ally. — PolitiTweet.org
