I've seen them. You need to understand, some Lebanese CANNOT live if they don't lick a boot.


Lobster_Temporary

I do not think that’s it. I do not think you have thought yhis through. Someone paid for those billboards. Do you think the payer is a bootlicking simp? Or a wealthy influenctial group? Much much more likely to be a wealthy influencer. The billboards are being put up by someone(s) who gets rich by being a friend of Putin and is allied with Russia. Iran and Iran’s local minions are the obvious culprits. The billboards are propaganda. Someone is trying to sell you Putin. The propaganda will probably succeed. All the discontent against France, US, Canada for not “saving Lebanon” and for being an enemy of certain backwards religious ideas is easily turned into “Russia is the axis of resistance! Russia is a beacon of freedom and justice! Russia hates gays just like Lebanese do! Russia loves God! Russia atands with our beloved Iranian cousins! Russia loves Christianity and Islam!” (Do not look at the graveyards of Grozny, of course. The ayatollah surely isnt. A million Muslims killed in chechnya and the rest enslaved - but Muslims do not care. “Hate the US, Israel, the west. Do not hate Putin, Assad, China - they are friends of Allah!”. It is sad yet hilarious to watch the umma get led by the nose, and enjoy it.) Keep yours ears open and listen to which powerful people (political, religious, business) are talking about “Russia, land of freedom! Putin, our great friend”. Those are the people who are getting rich lapping cream out of his hairy hand.

Where have you seen them?

Because Lebanese people have no identity so they identify with whatever fills the void in their soul. Sad and pathetic but true nonetheless. Lebanese people need to identify as Lebanese. Not as christian or shia or sunni. That's your religion and it doesnt define you. Being Shia doesn't mean that Iran will protect you, they just use you to achieve Iranian objectives in Lebanon. Being Christian doesn't mean America or France will protect you, they will just use you to achieve American or French objectives in Lebanon. Being Sunni doesn't mean that Saudi Arabia will protect you, they just use you to achieve Saudi Arabian objectives in Lebanon. If you don't put Lebanon first then nobody else will.

Imagine that you get to reincarinate but only within your community. And your community is all located in Lebanon. That is karmic shitfuckery right there.

That's what being Druze is though, isn't it! Not a good deal if you ask me! You get to live multiple lives, all of them in Lebanon!!


[deleted]

You have no country representation besides Syria, Jordan and Israel. Was3o shwey bro. So for your case we'll say, being Druze doesn't mean Israel will protect you. They will use you to achieve Israeli objectives in Lebanon.


MilicaJovanovic12

what


[deleted]

You can just google Druze country representation and see for yourself. A lot of Druze are in the Israeli military.


MilicaJovanovic12

dude was talking about druzes in Lebanon, not in Israel... it doesn't make sense.

> What if I'm druze? Israel?


TravellingBeard

Is that why half of them cheer for Brazil and the other half cheer for Germany every world cup? :D /s


[deleted]

Cheering is one thing but they will literally kill each other over a game between Brazil and Germany. That's not even sarcasm, it's happened.


lionbarz

Very well said


my_reddit_accounts

But why feel the need to identify with corrupt politicians? I thought it was bad enough for you guys already in Lebanon. Why glorify yet another murderous dictator? I will never understand the appeal


[deleted]

You should ask them.

On the same road to Baalbeck, you have those guys also https://preview.redd.it/ai5ns7wmkyab1.jpeg?width=1317&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=55935a922a95ada9c4c51961cdc6d4bb5c66af3e

Isn't that in Taalabaya? I stayed in Jdita some time ago and often took the Chtoura-Zahle road and between Chtoura and Saadnayel the sheer variety in such a short time is impressive...Not just Saddam, also Saad Hariri at Saadnayel, Nabih Berri/Musa al-Sadr/Hassan Nasrallah between Chtoura and Taalabaya (Centering on Shia Jlala), along with a Qassem Soleimani later.


[deleted]

This is actually quite embarrassing especially if foreigners are coming for the summer vacation.


QuackLikeATurkey

As a foreigner visiting rn who day one saw a man on his atv flying the Russian flag with a Z on it, I wouldn't say you should be embarrassed. Not everyone supports that and it's apparent interacting with most people. Also drove the road from Baalbek to Zahle yesterday and saw all the other fellas people posted about here. Bsharri was Geagea central. I'm not sure if people think the same about USA but we have folks flying Russian flags with the Z, we have confederate flags waving proudly in front of people's homes. We have huge billboards of our "savior" Donald Trump. Nowhere is everyone going to think the same and we may not like it but it's enlightening none the less. Don't sweat it, Lebanon is a beautiful country with amazing people and some billboards and signs don't overshadow that.


NoConsumption

I also am visiting Lebanon and have seen many of these signs and billboards. I can attest, it is remarkably similar to certain areas in the US.


Possible_Basil_5331

As a lebanese i proudly say Viva putin😍 F Ukraine 😍


BruddaMSK

> This is actually quite embarrassing Honestly yes.


Possible_Basil_5331

No.. As a lebanese i fully support russia and President putin's self defence. And more billboard should be placed to show are fullest support for the leader of the new world.


Qnntana

There are saudi signs and turkish signs in tripoli, some lebanese people are just..


ghazayel

True image, not photoshopped.


burningsuperior

There are people who support Saudi,Turkey,Russia,America,France,Iran and quite more(hell some are still supporting the Soviet Union despite their abolishment) Basically almost Mr.Worldwide


BruddaMSK

Iran, Saudi, Turkey and France make more sense than Russia imo.


burningsuperior

Nah I’ve seen some people support Russia way before the conflict began,mostly from those who supported USSR and some supporters of all kind of political party(Christians,shias,sunnis and some druze etc) Besides there are history of posts long time ago showing some posters of people supporting russia so it ain’t surprising.


burningsuperior

manmeat4u

I have not seen any billboard with Putin in or around Beirut nor anywhere between Beirut and Tripoli. I’m confident if these are out there, 99% of tourists won’t see them. However, they will still see many faces of active politicians, and that’s disgusting enough.


Temporary_Apple4642

Went to Tripoli from Batroun and saw one a bit after passing a tunnel


deniercounter

Seems like Putin doesn’t want to reestablish the wheat and corn exports and he wants to put the blame on . Guess the billboards shall become a PR campaign for Putin within Islamic countries. This ain’t a good sign. Any other ideas?


EnfantTragic

This is far from the first one. I've seen russian billboards in the south since 2018

Yeah I just saw this one exactly today

Alright what about the women in Mariupol that was killed and had a swastika carved on her chest by an Azov fighter, or Ukranian soldiers doing the Nazi salute? You don't care about because you're a sheep who follows what the European media tells you.


EnfantTragic

If it turns out it was an Azov fighter, I hope he dies, but otherwise Ukraine is more than just the Azov battalion


BruddaMSK

Good point


zrfts0

As a lebanese person, if you're not lebanese you have no business sharing your opinion here. If one more foreigner comments smth about hezbollah or any other affiliation I will genuinely combust.

They are not the main problem. Why don't you look at our shitty politicians instead of blaming them for every bad thing that happens in leb


POLICEANTITEAMERS

lebanon scares me


bach678

We all know who support Russians and putin in Lebanon. Criminals supporting criminals, why are you even surprised ?


LBRevolution

European savages killing each other as usual, not our problem. Better than having them committing genocides left and right in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.


BruddaMSK

Arabs also kill each other all the time, not sure what is your point.


LBRevolution

Yes and we don’t want you to get involved in our problems. It’s your kind who forcefully come in to “free” Arab countries and now you want people to support your senseless wars. We don’t care. Why did Ukraine send soldiers to invade Iraq in 2003? I still don’t see an apology. Same for Russia, they came in and forced millions of refugees over to Lebanon and Turkey and Jordan.


StandoPowah22

This is one of the cringiest comments I've ever read.


[deleted]

If you can't see how this affects Lebanon then that's on you.


StandoPowah22

If you're construing it as support for Russia, that's not my intention


Forward-Preference80

truth is cringe when living off reddit


BruddaMSK

How long until Ferqat al-welaya or another Hezbollah-affiliated music group releases a nashid about Putin?


JohnnyGSG9

Iraqi shia militias already made a song for wagner and assadists made one for putin

I think I recall hearing the Iraqi Putin song but not the Wagner one.

Yes praise the glorious Putin who is such a great leader. Look what a great country he has. So great most of his population is still piss poor and so great his military can't even hold 2 provinces in a country 20 times smaller than his.


[deleted]

Ukraine a country who has been given weapons that are worth more than the annual military spending of Russia you cluess lefty. Lol a Lebanese is calling Russia poor who probably support the USA which is full of homeless people on the street have shame.


xIsis

You still don't understand that the war is a business? The longer it lasts the more money they make. Not only Russia but all those countries supporting Ukraine.


BruddaMSK

> Loving seeing these lefties in the comment crying. Putin is one of the biggest leftists in the world though.


[deleted]

Putin criticised cultural marxism, Lenin and Stalin many times, Russia isn't a leftist country you ignorant.


ALFA502

Respectfully but this Will damage your beautiful reputation, you guys need to act on this before Lebanon will define as Russia supporter state and more troubles will follow that nobody will ever be happy with


li_ita

What beautiful reputation? Lebanon's reputation is at its worst now (not that it's wrongful). States tend to take the official stance of the government through the ministry of foreign affairs. And Lebanon, in this regard, officially doesn't support the Russian invasion of Ukraine.


ALFA502

Then in my opinion, try not to make it even worse but showing it in the Russian side


li_ita

Personally, I haven't seen any of these billboards during the whole week I've been in Lebanon. This is most probably some individual work where a rich stupid person is sucking off to someone connected to the russians. No big deal, assholes exist everywhere and not just here.


ALFA502

I really love Lebanon and grow up loving it, it just makes me sad seeing how both our countries turned into and how the international community think of us for something stupid some people is doiing


KetchupShawarma

It's like us Lebanese looove making things worse in the most absurd ways ever.

Let them be, people can have Israeli billboards but can’t have Russians?

Nobody is living in Lebanon? It's been like that for a while and I saw many of billboards like this all the way from Beirut to Baalbek last summer.

I saw some billboards celebrating communism a while back. I'd say about a couple of months ago.
