Obama is bad news, but you are flat wrong about the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as being on the side of freedom. They swept into power with the emotion driven election of the Morsi government, but were soon reviled by the Egyptian public due to their incompetence at essential governing tasks like providing basic law and order, for their corruption, and for their Islamic extremism.

The result was a popular uprising that swept the Egyptian military into power, with retired General Al-Sisi then elected as President. For the average Egyptian, that provided a restoration of law and order, for Egypt's persecuted Coptic Christians it meant a curbing of Muslim Brotherhood inspired mob attacks against them, and for Israel, it meant a shutdown of the Hamas smuggling tunnels into Gaza. Those are all good things that make the Al-Sisi government more compatible with freedom and Western interests than the former Muslim Brotherhood government.

I never said that the Muslim Brotherhood is on the side of freedom. The Muslim brotherhood are Obama’s guys. The people there managed to defy Obama’s choice for them. Egypt hates Obama. Can’t blame them at all.

I would hope Ukraine doesn’t want this fate either.
