Egypt turns to Russia to combat terrorism
Yahoo News ^ | August 26,2015 | AP

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Wednesday called for a coalition to combat terrorism in the Middle East.

Opening a meeting with Putin in Moscow, el-Sissi said "the Egyptian people" are hoping for broader ties with Russia in all areas, particularly in fighting terrorism in the Middle East.

El-Sissi's Russian visit, his second in the past three months, highlights Moscow's attempts to expand its influence in Egypt at a time when Egyptian-U.S. relations have soured in the aftermath of the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The Complicit GOP has made an enemy of Egypt and Israel
and every other nation .... except Iran that murdered(s)
Americans without a hesitation.

Boehner, McConnell and McCain are complicit in Benghazi
and the crucifixions wrought by Obola and his Moslem
Brotherhood in Egypt, and the slavery and beheadings
everywhere.

Well, cant see this as a surprise. We launched the Moslem brotherhood coup on them. We opposed all their efforts to retake the country and evict and convict Morsi.
And now we are hostile towards their efforts at anti terrorism.

So they turn to Russia. So Obama successfully turned a decent ally in the Middle East, into an enemy. And he has turned back the clock to the Nasser era.

Good point. GOP has been up to their eyeballs in this too.

That's what he wanted anyway, isn't it?

Russia/USSR and the US have been back and forth with Egypt multiple times. It time to recognize that the damn Muslims in Egypt are playing us. They are the enemy. They are Muslims. We need some guts. Let the Russians sell Egypt into the poor house. Let the Russians take over every thing in Egypt. Let the Russians provide Egypt with military equipment and advise their military. Let Egypt adopt Russian military doctrine/centralized command and control. It will make Egypt weak and easier to kick their Muslim arses.

Do you really care which Muslims are in charge of Egypt? It doesn't matter. Israel can defeat them as long as we don't help Egypt. We need to focus on the traitors at home and not pick which Muslims are the lesser evil. If that peanut farmer back in the 70's had and testicular fortitude he would have told Sadat to pound sand and increased American support of Israel.

History lesson repeated multiple times since the 7th century: never give Muslims anything but death.

Obama's Muslim Brotherhood coup on Egypt seriously damaged their tourist industry and the safety of Coptic Christians, isolating Egypt from all the West.

Despite Obama, Egypt still actively cooperates with Israel honoring the peace treaty, and is pro active in suppressing terrorist and materiel infiltration through Siani/Gaza/Med.

Israel has excellent tourist relations with Russia, and all three want to end this near Century of MB terrorism and assassination in Egypt.

Protection from islamonazi terrorism means or requires protection from the current regime in wash DC which is promoting/ arming/ funding Islamic terrorist murder gangs ranging from Libya to Egypt to “Palestinians” (sic), to Syria to Lebanon to Iraq to now especially enabling the nuclear bomb arsenal and icbm’’s for the Iranian islamonazis ( perhaps the worst ones of all). Russia has been an historic counterweight to USA and Egypt especially has felt it necessary to seek Russian help visavis America before so now O has driven Egypt back into the Russian sphere of influence.

The Kremlin’s Troll Army: Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters:

A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”

“Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”...”

They do this only in an attempt to win the trust of anti-Obama folks -- a clever/sneaky way to add credibility to their pro-Russia, pro-Putin BS.
Yet it seems to work on some of us! In reality, Obama is the best thing that has happened to Russia in a long time.

I have trouble taking seriously any President who is named “El-Sissi”. Of course it is equally difficult to take seriously a President who is named “Putin”. What a combo!!!

I don’t blame el-Sissi at all.

After all, Obama and Clinton tried to install the Muslim Brotherhood throughout North Africa, and nearly pushed Egypt into a brutal Civll War. The Egyptian military pulled Egypt from the fire. The US MSM doesn’t say it, but el-Sissi probably sees Obama as enemy number 1.

And the USA has Wall Street and the US dollar to help destabilize Russia.

Not a fair fight.

We'll see, if he fires up the executions, inviting Obama will show the size of his balls.
