Obviously the best and only answer should always be neither!
But this is the price of being a tiny country like Lebanon..
Despite the fact that Lebanon is very complex ground for different regional powers but the US clearly still hold the biggest influence over the Lebanese state and its military, economy etc.
But now with the Russians taking more control over most parts of Syria they seems to be having their eyes on Lebanon now that Lebanon might be heading for oil and gas explorations. The latest Rosneft deal in Tripoli is clearly revealing this!
But what are EU's stances on all of this? Would they allow Russia to simply grow their influence gentility and slowly over the possibly emerging Lebanese energy sector?
Then we also have the so called Israel on the other hand.. wouldn't they have much bigger chances to sabotage the gas explorations by any means if Russia ends up having greater influence than the European/Western influence over the energy sector?
What are the Lebanese gov stances on all of this and what are they trying to do? Are they trying to balance it between the two? Meaning between Russia and the US (France-Total)?
To be honest with you I think Lebanon is not ready for any of this!
The country is to weak to deal with any of it and the smell of robbery with our puppet politicians that lead us to be in 80+ billions dollar debt will make sure the Lebanese end up with more crisis if not another "civil war" and ending up benefitin mostly their pocket!
Also more debts being added to our current masive debts seems to be overwhelming and makes me wonder if this is all a big scam coming upon us all..
These are just some questions and concerns i think the lebanese should explore despite being ignorant in this subject!
What do you think?
