Retired U.S. Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson just dropped a bombshell on the Tucker Carlson Show about the massive new U.S. embassy in Beirut. While Lebanon’s economy is in freefall and the country is being torn apart by war, the U.S. has spent over $1 billion to build a sprawling, 43-acre diplomatic fortress that is now the second-largest U.S. embassy in the world.
Wilkerson claims the complex was built specifically as a haven for the CIA, Mossad, and MI6. It’s designed to be a safe zone where Western and Israeli intelligence can coordinate operations across the entire Eastern Mediterranean.
According to Wilkerson, this isn’t just about Lebanon. The U.S. is using Beirut as a centerpiece to mount strategic operations against China and Russia in the region.
Why do you need a city-sized embassy in a country that’s falling apart? Because the people in the shadows aren’t there to help—they’re there to watch.

English Script:
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: What we’re doing in Lebanon right now is just unconscionable. West Bank is bad enough, but Lebanon, we’re killing 200 or 300 civilians about every 48 or 96 hours, and they’re just civilians. We’re bombing dry cleaners. We’re bombing bars, we’re bombing restaurants, we’re bombing hotels. “We” I say, I always say “we” because Israel couldn’t do it without us. And it’s…we built the most expensive, largest embassy in the world. Where do we build it? We built it in Beirut. Why don’t we do that? Well, it isn’t for diplomacy. We built it there because it’s a haven for Mossad, MI6, and CIA. And because we plan on, in that center piece, in the eastern Mediterranean, mounting our guns against China and Russia, too, if we have to, but we don’t have any respect for Lebanon. Lebanon could disappear tomorrow morning. Our embassy would still be there. Fortified to the hill, of course. We just don’t care anymore. And we’re lashed up with the wrong people in Lebanon. We always have been, really.
Tucker Carlson: Who are the right people in Lebanon?
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: The right people are the people that Hassan Nasrallah was trying to introduce to the political situation, cease his militaristic angle and become the politician in Lebanon who would finally, after years and years, consolidate the government and have a government that’s a majority of Lebanese could support. And Netanyahu, what did Netanyahu do? Of course, that’s what…he kills the people he needs.
