Why Egypt doesn’t care if we cut off aid
You may have read in the media that President Obama is about to cut off up to a billion dollars of aid to Egypt. I’m sure that Israel doesn’t like the cuts, as they foolishly think we have influence with Egypt and will help stop their enemy to the west. So what do you think Egypt’s reaction was?
Yawn.
Why? Because Saudi Arabia (and others) has committed to match dollar for dollar any reduction in our aid. I’m sure that the Russian Federation is anxious to supply fresh military equipment, to block future State Department blackmail influence, including the feared SA-300VM rockets and help to permanently sever our government’s ties with Egypt.
With friends like Saudi Arabia, who needs enemies? Even Senators McCain and Graham got nowhere when they visited, as they didn’t have any cards to play. Egypt had the Saudis covering its back.
All the Saudi’s have done is undermine us. Will President Obama finally call the military coup in Egypt, a coup? Probably not, as he displays weakness. He prefers to give speeches as if he’s perpetually running for office rather than lead.
They can kill as many of their citizens as they like, and we’re afraid to say a word. Why? Because they can block our access to the Suez Canal. We don’t want another Suez Crisis, like the British had in the 1950’s. I wrote about this in a prior article. It’s proven to be true.
Where is Mr. Obama’s courage to do what’s right? Don’t ask me, I don’t see any.
