Egypt was very lucky to have someone like el-Sisi appear and take control at a critical time for and in Egypt.
He certainly *seems to be* against MB and pro fighting (Islamic) terrorism in Egypt. Then, we can argue that Mullahs in Iran have also been fighting ISIS, and AQ offshoots (aka moderate rebels in Syria).
el-Sisi is clever, plays his cards very close to his chest, is politically & diplomatically skillful (similar to Iranian mullahs), hard to read, and I don’t trust him (yet). If you do your own research, you’ll find out that el-Sisi has contradicted himself in words at least regarding his stance on Islam and Islamism (as an ideology).
All the above, IMO, doesn’t make him a ‘bad’ person. And, I acknowledge the situation in the ME and North Africa is very convoluted, complex, and fluid, with loyalties that can change at a drop of a hat. So I’d err on the side of caution and try not to pigeon-hole (including Israel and Bibi, they are a BIG player). We shall see how matters continue to develop and what happens...
Solidwood: I’m just including you in the conversation thinking you might be interested - let me know if you don’t want me to ping you here.
Sisi was an intelligence officer educated in the US by the military.
He is the real deal. He is an Egyptian patriot. The Egyptians (except for Islamist Terrorists) absolutely love him. Yes, he can seem brutal to those who seek to harm him. But this is the ME, need I say more.
I’m Pro Israel. End of discussion.
Erdogan is going to embroil the entire ME into a disaster soon unless our military and NATO can convince him “not to”. Turkey has an un-admitted history of genocide. And Erdogan is on the verge of doing it again.
SA is an evil kingdom with lots of money, bent on domination. Extremely brutal and capable of genocide.
Iran, which you defend, is run by religious fanatics who hate Israel more than life itself. As long as they are in power in Iran it will be this way. Iranian Mullahs are capable of genocide.
Jordan is not a real threat to the ME stability. It appears to me they are run by adult leadership. But do associate with SA.
Obama has created total chaos in 1/2 of the ME. He has left the crippled nations open for Islamists to take over.
The Globalist Bastards hands are all over this mess too. Their designs are even greater than the ME Despots.
We witness the convergence of the Godless Left, Globalist Fascists and the Islamists against the Christians, Jews and Freedom Lovers. Each of the 1st 3 believes they will win over the other 2 and rule the world. In the end, none of them will win, but it will be a great blood bath. In the end God will prevail.
Each time man has tried to “rule the world” it has failed. It will remain the same. Has been so since the Tower of Babel.
