Canadian and Kuwait have just directed their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately.

1. Canadian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate family in Lebanon. You should leave Lebanon while commercial options remain available.

2. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait issued a notice tonight (Saturday) to its citizens staying in Lebanon to leave the country as soon as possible. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on anyone who cannot leave Lebanon to immediately contact the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in the Lebanese Republic via the embassy's emergency telephone number – 0096171171441.

Meanwhile…

The new U.S. Embassy compound in Beirut was finally completed at a cost of $1B as conflict between Hezballah and Israel continues and nations begin evacuating their staffs and encouraging their citizens to depart.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) alongside several U.S. Navy Surface Vessels including the Ticonderoga-Class Cruiser; USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) and at least a Pair of Arleigh Burke-Class Guided Missile Destroyers have now arrived roughly 150 Miles off the Coast of Northern-Central Israel, after Transiting the Suez Canal from the Red Sea earlier today.

Yep, me too thinks its not looking good up there in Israel's North. In a zone along the border the war practically already has begun months ago.

Putin, Xi and Kim will feast on this. More US ressources distracted and locked away, more of Europe's attention diverted away. More push towards overburdening the West.

If you think wrestling is just about weight and power, think again. Its a lot about stand and balance - or the lack of it.

I don’t know if it’s really overburdening the U.S. our carriers will be out there regardless. Eisenhower (CVN69) is just one carrier strike group and it rival the Air Force of just about any nation. On top of that I think we have like 8 more available to go around.
