14:40 I think your analysis of Hezbollah is totally wrong and you have not considered who they are and what’s their position in Lebanon! They’re not like Iran or Houthis in Yemen! They’re part of a government in country with multiple minorities and the Shias are one of them. They’re part do not have full autonomy and free hand to do as they please! They’re considering that if they unleashed a full scale engagement with the IDF, it’ll bring the full wrath of them and the US and they’ll slaughter Lebanese civilians in every part specially the Shias and they’ll pump weapons to Christians, Druze and Sunnis to fight Hezbollah for starting the war and it’ll become a civil war like 1980s and destroy the whole country and so many people will die! And remember that Lebanon is next-door to Israel and can be easily hit. Yemen is far away. So the considerations of the consequences for their political position and popularity in Lebanon as well as welfare of Lebanese citizens is a big issue for them. That’s why they only attacked military targets in a tit for tat style conflict. They responded to the IDF attacked and no more, yet IDF went on to kill thousands regardless! So, please consider the context of their situation and the consequences they will suffer as a result!

12:39 I have to correct you there! To say that Hezbollah missile capabilities is not impressive, because they didn’t use them, is like saying Iran’s missile capabilities are not impressive, because they didn’t destroy enough stuff, it’s like saying Russian military isn’t powerful, because they haven’t flattened Ukraine!! Having the capability and opting not to use your full capability are two different things! That’s akin to mistaking patient, prudent and responsible response as a sign of weakness!! It’s a big mistake that gets many people killed when you underestimate your opponents! Iran, Hezbollah, Yemen and other Axis of resistance forces never wanted to start a full scale war, but to create difficulties for the Israelis and make harder on them destroying Gaza. It was add a cost to their actions. Unfortunately, the US and the west stood behind Israel and all the Sunni countries stood silent and left the axis of resistance out to dry!! Please consider that if you start a full scale war with Israel, you’re basically accepting the possibility of them and the US violently destroy your country and then you unleash all that you have and destroy Israel and you get nuked!!! These people don’t have a death wish, so they don’t want to start a full war and risking getting nuked!! Because the US and Israel don’t hesitate!!
