“Egypt’s economy is a basket case... Turkey does have a better economy.”
Qatar has deep pockets, and also funds Turkish and Muslim Brotherhood operations like this (e.g. the former Brotherhood takeover in Egypt, and the Civil War in Syria).
Against the Muslim Brothers/Turks/Qataris, the Saudis have deep pockets, and a mortal enmity against the Brothers. The USA and Russia are both on this side as well, able to bring resources and capabilities to bear.
If Joe Biden gets elected though, the USA will once again change to be on the side of the Turks, Muslim Brotherhood and jihadis, just like when he was VP, and they were running Libyan weapons out of Benghazi, to the Turkish-led jihadis in Syria.
Now the flow of weapons and jihadis is heading the other way, into Libya, from Turkey and Syria.
Yes and thats makes the economic imbalance for Egypt even worse.
