This story is on the front page of every major news site in the world right now. They're not providing an "in-depth analysis" because there aren't yet sufficient facts to analyze. Even the authorities don't yet know what actually exploded, or what caused the explosion, or the number of dead, or the number of wounded, or the number of missing. Get off your high horse.

> Get off your high horse. President Trump(And other world leaders) commented about 3 hours ago on this issue. So the fact it's now made a headline is I guess your horse not mine. And authorities do know what exploded, and have made statements. The initial fire is still uncertain. This story was also on HN earlier and Flagged, because of complicated reasons, but it still probably shouldn't have been.

  President(*) Trump just suggested the explosion was an attack. Do you believe his "authority" and "credibility" in the matter, over the "fake news" media? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-05/donald-trump-suggests-beirut-explosion-was-an-attack/12525738 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-05/donald-trump-suggests...

    +1 I would bet my hand that Trump wouldn't be able to roughly point on the map where Lebanon is. But for sure he is the expert on their internal politics and struggles. I am surprised anyone on HK is considering him as source of any info (unless a bot).
