      Heat map Belt and Road and you’d see our activity happening. It’s where the targets are

      On that note: the day before the Beirut blast, there was a change in Lebanon's Minister of Foreign Affairs - from Nassif Hitti to Charbel Wehbe.

      Hitti was pro-IMF and wanted the government to take on their debts. The government repeatedly voted against it. Hitti resigned August 3rd and called Lebanon a "failed state."

      The new guy, Wehbe, is very anti-imperialist.

      He received some "Internal Hero of Venezuela" medal from Chavez, one of the country's highest honors.

      He wants to re-establish diplomatic relations with Syria.

      He supports Belt and Road, which was going to invest in Lebanese ports.

      His first day in office, the Beirut Blast happened. I have been wondering for months if the CIA paid someone off to do that.

          Sure, but you can intentionally "mismanage." I would imagine a lot of sabotage tactics could look like an accident.

              Yeah, if you know what CIA operations look like, there are big red flags. But no smoking gun.

              But to most people it sounds like conspiracy nonsense.

      Yep. The US government sees China as it's biggest threat to the imperial vicegrip it has on the world, and the B&R as the main thrust of that threat.
