Lebanon is Totally F*cked

Here, on home runs, we have something of an ongoing series for countries that are truly descending into crisis. Crisis that exceeds your average everyday level of madness, from Pakistan to Bolivia to even the Sahel region. They've all joined our club of nations that we believe.

For lack of a better term, I don't know. When it comes to Lebanon though, we've held back. The country has been in turmoil for so long, but if anything, it looked like it might be on the up in recent years.

Even after Hezbollah dragged them back into the war on behalf of Iran, the government took actions that would have simply been thought unimaginable previously. The prospect of Lebanon permanently breaking up with Hezbollah was, for the first time, something other than a joke.
