Putin acts in support of Egyptian military
Debka ^ | Aug 3, 2013 | DebkaFile Exclusive

Posted on 08/17/2013 11:35:27 PM PDT by Innovative

Russian President Vladimir Putin called an extraordinary session at the Kremlin Saturday to "discuss the situation in Egypt and take the necessary steps to the put Russian military facilities at the Egyptian military's disposal," said an announcement in Moscow, without elaborating. Putin said further that "Russia will arrange for joint military exercises with the Egyptian army." DEBKAfile: Moscow's steps directly conflict with Western condemnation of the Egyptian military's crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. They were taken shortly after President Barack Obama cancelled a joint military exercise with Egypt as a mark of US disapproval.

It must be hard for journalists covering world events to decide which "governments" to question in these tense times.

Taking a risk of angering the wrong entities would be an odd choice between getting blown up or having an instant heart attack the Chicago way, getting poisoned the good old fashioned KGB way or getting decapitated by the "brothers" or being totally ignored and then just financially wiped out by the your local money handlers (IRS).

Lay down your bets ladies and gentlemen...this is a deadly global game of chess.

Most women will be angry and jealous of female competing for their husbands time and affections. Less so for guys doing it like Reggie Love.

Egyptian Islamists target Christians as security tightens ahead of protests

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/08/18/egyptian-islamists-attack-christian-churches/

“In the four days since security forces cleared two sit-in camps by Morsi supporters, Islamists have attacked dozens of Coptic churches, along with homes and businesses owned by the Christian minority. The campaign of intimidation appears to be a warning to Christians outside Cairo to stand down from political activism.”

Did anyone hear Obama condemn this? Me neither...

Nobody has to play us as fools, look who "we" elected as our President- twice.

And how amazing the difference would have been had America chosen differently in 2008...

Sen. John McCain slammed the Obama Administration on Thursday, saying the president did not go far enough in responding to the outbreak of violence in Egypt.

Debka has good information in it, you have to read between the lines.

I see it as Israeli pysch warfare with some stories crying out with fear over Israel’s vulnerability to its enemies and others proclaiming the strength of Israel in the face of its enemies.

Debka articles often arouse sympathy for Israel and also appear designed to intimidate and confuse enemies.

They put out stuff that they hope folks like Assad, Hezbollah, Iran etc. etc. etc. are reading and worrying about.

Debka is frequently way ahead of the rest of the media, I think they have really good sources.

They talked about Iran having centrifuges to enrich uranium years ago, when most people scoffed at the notion and thought it was just fear mongering — now it’s all over the place and it’s accepted fact.

Iran has 18,000 uranium centrifuges, says outgoing nuclear chief

My vote's for El-Sisi.

He said he was not just going to rebuild all the Christian churches and schools which the Muslim Brotherhood supporters firebombed, he's ordered his military engineers to start now clearing the rubble and certifying which building are structurally sound so Christians can worship there a.s.a.p. with the Army protecting them.

He's saying the Muslim Brotherhood will be made to pay for the rebuilding.

Meanwhile, Putin swoops in to conduct joint military exercises with El-Sisi (after the Obamunists pulled out) AND Putin reiterates that Russia's anti-gay-propaganda-to-minors law will be enforced during the 2014 Olympics in Feb. --- thus emerging as the most powerful defender of Christian values now on the world scene.

Strange, is it not?

El-Sisi and Putin. God bless 'em.

Russia’s working with Iran is very easy to appreciate if you remember back a half century or so. We supplied war material to the back door of Russia using the Iranian railroad. It’s how we got aluminum and Studebaker trucks to them. We actually sent some of our railroad guys there early on to modernize the line and as I recall they were able to very quickly triple the line’s capacity. To this day that line is a major supply route to mid-Russia. It’s enough of a benefit to Iran so that you do not hear the Mullahs pushing Islam krap in that direction.

Debka doesn’t vet its stories as well as it might. Often the just means they are first to report, but it also means that frequently the news as reported in the Debka files is inaccurate.

They also, as an Israel based source, tend to very reasonably view the news through a “the whole world is out to get Israel” prism.

Just recognize those facts when evaluating Debka as a source (and keep in mind it was The National Enquirer that broke the Monica Lewinski story!).

Are you positive about that? I would think the legitimately elected President of the United States of America would be all over that -- condemning harming even a single Christian or Christian property in the strongest possible language -- making clear the dire consequences f they continue -- standing up for what's right. And I'm sure POTUS would do the same for any Jewish interest in the region. /sarc

i have to admit, i was completely wrong about putin. he’s now the greatest foreign defender of the Faith and America’s geopolitical interests. i should have realized much earlier how wrong i was about him when when mccain said he hated him. live and learn.

Ummm, what if the Mooch isn't getting any, ‘cause the spouse isn't interested in women? She certainly wouldn't be so understanding and accommodating to the bozo's toyboys if that were the case. He had the two daughters for the “cause” which is to present his union with the Mooch as a normal family. You can bet he was at his play-acting best when he had to “do the deed” with the Mooch. The body language of the Mooch and the bozo, when they are together, is telling. They appear as a couple who are awkward with and not really attracted to each other..what togetherness they reveal to the public is staged..they go on too many trips without each other. Actions always speak louder than words. Nor is he close with his daughters, and they do react to him in a suspicious, critical way, from the pics that Ive seen of them together, although not as of late...the kids are getting older and they don't hold back on their feelings about bozo and his relationship with them and their mother, and I'm sure that's one of the reasons the kids are kept from the public’s sight..it ain't all about security.

So, why is the Mooch sooo understanding of the fact that the bozo brings along his toyboy on trips, such as South Africa recently? Maybe because she has something on the side going for her as well? Can't believe she's celibate. Has there ever been any talk or innuendo about the Mooch and someone else? Or is it that power and money is the acceptable solution to the sexless problem? Questions, questions..
