Today’s podcast is delayed, but I wanted to talk about the rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Although Hezbollah is a designated terrorist group, it is so much more in the sense that it possesses an arsenal that even Israeli commentators claim is more powerful than 95% of the world’s militaries. In addition to Iranian patronage, the group operates a vast multi-billion dollar criminal syndicate that is global in scope. If Israel opens up a second front to its current war, the whole world could feel the results.
