The reconciliation of Baabda is at the expense of Jumblatt

The recent reconciliation at Baabda did not take place at the expense of the March 8 forces, but at the expense of Jumblatt

He was trying to revive the March 14 formation with American support to besiege the Aoun era

Jumblatt withstood the pressure and Washington intervened to support him, creating a balance

The country had two options, either to collapse or to seek a new settlement that would save the opponents face to Jumblatt

This does not resemble other compromises that consolidated their victory and conceded the elements (March 14).
