Miqati is hezbollah's nominee for PM. This is going to be Aoun-Hezbollah government just like Miqati's first government.
It will be a bridge to float the ruling mafia until the next elections in the hope they will renew their legitimacy.

Yup and the international community is not stupid. This means no rescue and a very dark period for Lebanon. Get out while you still can. Welcome to Hizbullahstan.

Wonder how long the military and security forces will remain loyal and following orders? They might rebel and split because they and their families are starving and suffering as well. The return of a sectarian dark period indeed. An armed revolution and brief civil war followed by a western coalition international intervention might be the only solution. History always repeats itself.
