Not a huge deal but it makes good press and probably looks good at night.
I’d guess the agitators felt they weren’t getting their way so have to throw additional tantrums.
Tear your country down so you can rebuild it! That’s a plan. Make it so no one will want to do business or invest- sure fire deal. Hard to eat sand, I think.
What's next for Egypt? Will they stop exploring and drilling for gas and oil next? Will the next step be nationalizing their industry? Massive regulation of their banks and health care?
When they completely stop their energy industry in the Sinai, maybe they can rename it Anwar (sic).
The one thing the Egyptians had better start asking themselves is:
The Radical Islamist are destroying Egypts sources of income, food etc.
Ask the Islamist HOW they intend to re-establish that source of income?
I would be willing to bet they will hold the Suez canal as hostage. Pay a huge fee or go around.
I think you’re wrong in this assessment.
Terrorists can never win a stand-up fight with a modern military on a battlefield, or even in an urban house-to-house environment.
But terrorists could bring a nation to it’s knees by attacking infrastructure instead of blowing up cafe’s and sandwich shops to kill a few dozen people. Blow up oil and gas pipelines, take down transmission lines, blow out dams, levees, hydro installations, etc.
Pretty soon, the mass of the population is in the dark, perhaps freezing, (or baking) and they’re hungry. The government has to turn resources inwards to deal with infrastructure failures instead of chasing the terrorists, or the government falls as people riot. There’s a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie that says “An empty stomach makes a poor political advisor.” That’s very true in this case.
A small groups of engineers turned terrorists could bring the US to her knees in about four weeks.
In the middle east, a smaller group of engineers could bring the region to it’s knees in about the same amount of time. They’re overly dependent on “bigger, fewer” pieces of infrastructure. Lots of that infrastructure runs through areas of desert with no security or supervision. Easy, easy targets.
Someone is getting smart here. A few more IQ points and some follow through and there’s going to be Real Big Problems.
