Russian President Vladimir Putin called an extraordinary session at the Kremlin Saturday to "discuss the situation in Egypt and take the necessary steps to the put Russian military facilities at the Egyptian military's disposal," said an announcement in Moscow, without elaborating. Putin said further that "Russia will arrange for joint military exercises with the Egyptian army." DEBKAfile: Moscow's steps directly conflict with Western condemnation of the Egyptian military's crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. They were taken shortly after President Barack Obama cancelled a joint military exercise with Egypt as a mark of US disapproval.
I don’t see any body language between both of them when they are in public compare to other US President
Reagan adore Nancy George HW adore Barbara and George W adore Laura
NSA contractors are also happy Snowden will tell the Russkies everything. Now those contractors will dupe idiot congress critters on “oversight commitees” to fork over new tens of billions to fix the situation. To build anew
Ed Snowden was honest and wanted to live in Iceland or any other of ten nice places, Obama and the NSA made sure he would end up in Russia
Obama has screwed over the American Government NOW he wants to screw ovwer the Egyptian Government.
He’s a Muslim Brotherhood community organizer.
A point which I wish were more generally acknowledged. It really makes me ashamed when (some)FReepers respond with the equivalent of, "Well, just nuke 'em all." As if that didn't put them at the same moral level as the bloody-handed savages they hate.

But for Christians in particular, Russian is going to be an important language.

In Egypt Crisis, Russia Sees Opportunity
http://thediplomat.com/the-editor/2013/08/16/in-egypt-crisis-russia-sees-opportunity/
“On Thursday afternoon President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. would be cancelling a joint military exercise with the Egyptian Army over its violent crackdown on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Shortly afterwards, Egypt Independent reported that Putin had called an extraordinary session in the Kremlin to put “all Russian military facilities ‘at the Egyptian military’s disposal.’” The report, which cited several sources without providing any further details about them, also said that “Putin will discuss Russian arrangements for joint-military exercises with the Egyptian army.”
Hours later Egypt Independent took down the report, although Google is still returning searches for it. A number of websites and forums had already republished the article in full before it was removed.”
I have been thinking for the past year that Israel has turned to Russia to help solve the Obama problem. There was no way Israel was going to let Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood come in and undo 30 years of relatively good relations with Egypt. If Israel is smart, they will dump us as an ally and work with Putin. I wouldn’t be surprised if that has already happened.
Putin only cares about power. He is just trying to set a precedent in case he ever has to overthrow a Russian President or PM to stay in power.
The Chinese have also taken to fighting the Islamic radicals. They have been attacking Chinese interests in Africa.
He will play it to the hilt as a platform to show the world, and especially Arab Muslims, that he alone of the world's five leading powers is openly committed to fighting radical Islam and ready to assist any Arab leader sharing this commitment.
Putin hopes to come away from Cairo as champion of the war on radical Islam in two important Arab countries and the most reliable ally of forces for moderation."
Go Russia! Go Putin!!! Could we adopt you as our president as well?
And while you at it, would you kick 0dumbo's ass from one side of a room to the other side....and video tape it so we can all enjoy it?

This is a surprise. Why would Putin do that? Does he want the favor of the winner? Or doesn't he like terrorists?

Obama is clearly on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood — but he doesn’t want us to know:
Senator: Obama Administration Secretly Suspended Military Aid to Egypt
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3056460/posts
“The U.S. government has decided privately to act as if the military takeover of Egypt was a coup, temporarily suspending most forms of military aid, despite deciding not to announce publicly a coup determination one way or the other, according to a leading U.S. senator.”
The denial of aid forces the MB to act...and to win at all costs, if possible. We don’t have a coup. We then have a caliphate.
