BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Dan Boylan, National Security reporter at The Washington Times, pointed out that the absence of former US President Donald Trump from the Republican Party debate is "unique" and "shocking".

Boylan told Al Mayadeen that by refusing to participate in the debates with Republican candidates, Trump was able to "throw rocks and criticize his party from the outside," adding that the former President is playing "the outsider" among his own party. The US reporter recalled that Trump used the same strategy in 2016.

According to Boylan, many Republicans call Trump a "cancer" due to his actions. He noted that some Republicans are also afraid to criticize the former US President, recalling that when Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney wanted to unearth some truths about the January 6 Capitol Storming, she was "voted out" by Trump backers.

"It's been shown that if you are a Republican who goes against Donald Trump you're going to get yourself punished by his people," Boylan indicated.

He believed that "the Republicans right now have got a small group of people that hold the party hostage and they're the ones pushing for this government shutdown."

The American reporter explained that behind the scenes, the Republicans made a deal to launch an investigation into US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, who had drug problems and was involved in overseas business dealings in Ukraine and China, adding that those Republicans think that if they can investigate Hunter Biden, it may damage Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

Boylan's statement came after Trump skipped the second debate held by the Republican Party, saying that he had no need to waste time on his distant challengers.

Participating in the debate were the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, the former Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, the Governor of North Dakota, Doug Burgum, and former Vice President, Mike Pence, among others.

The CBS News network reported that most of the candidates focused their criticism on incumbent President Joe Biden and Washington officials, avoiding directly targeting each other.
