Russkies like the situation like it is, and both the Egyptians and Turks are irredentists. I see the Russian angle here -- if they just let the chips fall and let this become a full on war between Turkey and Egypt, it'd be a bonanza for US arms...but with Russian intermediation it's a fertile ground for their contractors.
Gas a crowd so you can have a stupid photo op. Certainly seems to have shaken out those disloyal elements of the regime. We will see whether he is smart enough to do something about that or not. If not, I imagine an enterprising young colonel might just have the answers soon.
Good luck. The entire US army couldn't keep down the Iraqi cities, good friggin luck with American ones once they truly turn on their occupiers (which this is far from).
You may have noticed we haven't posted much during the lockdown or about these riots. That's because it's been very obvious this entire time both the protestors and the reaction are right out of the NED playbook; they're even using the OTPOR fist and other stupidly obvious crap. Which means titanic forces are at play; do not kid yourself, one can be run over by this machine easily if you don't protect ya' neck. Rubicons might be crossed.
