An Egyptian friend of mine first exposed me to the joint exercise between Egypt and Russia this morning. It was via RT which is not considered reliable, because of propaganda content.

So I asked where else I might look. He Referred me to AHVAL, which I was already familiar with. But I did not previously know that UAE was supporting AHVAL.

Now the relevance. President Sisi's Egypt is trying to be intermediary with others (they have troops on the ground) to negotiate a cease fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Now this I think is intended to send a message to Turkey that they need to pull out of Azerbaijan.

Turkey's Erdo, is not know for being reasonable. Possibly, this might be what is needed to bring a group pressure on Turkey to move away from what they now are.

Well, according the this article, it is much better than that of Turkey. smile.

Quite frankly I like Egyptian President Sisi and respect him. It is the Middle East and I understand how many feel about that. But I have a number of friends in Cairo and a few other parts of Egypt. Over the years I have learned to trust their opinions and how they see the reality of that region.

They could have used one about 3500 years ago.

Smile.

I’m not an Egyptian, I’ve not been on board many ships.

I do know that the Egyptians, that I have come to know, are pretty smart people.

We keep you alive to serve this ship.

(Change "this ship" to "us" and you have the Democrat platform in seven words.)

This is the image given me for the one I posted:

I have no photo’s of the ships going through the Strait.

That might come later. This is just happening.

You are aware that Egypt built a 2nd Suez canal, parallel the existing one. Allowing larger ships and ability to bypass bottlenecks problems. Greatly increasing the capacity

"Egypt has a navy? How cute."

After the whole Moses thing, they recognized the problems with trying to march their forces across the sea.

I have a number of friends in Cairo and a few other parts of Egypt.

Are they in Cairo practice, or just a den of Thebes?

FWIW I have had acquaintance with some Egyptians over the years (mostly Copts), have found them to be generally saner than others in the Mideast.

Great illustration. Thanks for the laugh.

I spent a week traveling around Turkey before that pig Erdogan was elected. Very few veils in the streets, well-dressed men and women with jobs. People loved having Americans visit them. Out in the countryside, more women wore veils, but they were happy to see Americans too.

I feel so sorry for the sane people there now too.

Well, interesting that you post that, my friend in Egypt that referred this article to me is an expert in Ancient Egyptian archeology and what ancient Egyptians were able to do.

https://twitter.com/EagleShery/status/1314574029697802240

If you read his Twitter feed, he posts something almost every day related to ancient Egyptian history.
