Now See The 11 Countries At Risk Of Becoming The Next Egypt
BusinessInsider ^ | 2/11/11 | Gregory White

So the question on everyone's mind is: who's next?

The Egyptian revolution is a challenge to state led authoritarian capitalism, but it is also a response to rising food costs and soaring unemployment. There is also the social media factor, which has allowed protesters to circumvent traditional state run media sources and organize more efficiently.

What countries offer a similar mixture to that found in Egypt? And what investments are at stake?

take Syria off the list

Assad is more than willing to obliterate
entire cities, if necessary,
to hold on to power

I wonder why Business Insider is leaving out the sperm daddy of them all—Turkey.

Too many business investments...

The inclusion of Iran, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan and China on that list totally removes any credibility it might have enjoyed.

The odds of islam taking over China is essentially zero.
I don't even want to know what idiot created that list.

The Saudis and the emirates are not going anywhere -— too much money and too much islam.

Egypt has gone down this path because they did not have enough money and or Islam.

No, but we should start making them put it into charred white oak barrels and let it age before use.

And when you do it that way, you can at least DRINK it.

Nice!!

I've been reading many of these posts and what comes to mind is a similar elation and positive conviction of when U.S. troops invaded Iraq and it appeared to be over before it started. It was referred to as "a cakewalk".

Well, that's how it appeared but that's NOT how it has played out. It's 8 years later and we're still seeing blood spilled

The Muslim brotherhood I believe is waiting in the wings and if I'm not mistaken things are NOT going to change as quickly as everyone seems to think.

If I had a wish.. it would be that my observations are incorrect and that freedom now prevails. I fear however, that much like Iraq, this is a first step down a long road. There is much more yet to come.

Time will tell.

Thanks Kartographer, in alpha they’re: China, Iran, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Yemen.

I hope Venezuela is next. All it would take is to shut down the US Virgin Islands refinery that is the only one that can handle V’s crude. Hey, it must need some EPA-mandated upgrades and systemwide maintenance. Of course, the jihadists who have been invited in to “train” by Chavez might be the ones to take over, and Zero would be 100 percent behind that. And if they weren’t, he’d be 100 percent behind Chavez.

Pakistan’s current state is a rickety government at war within itself, barely able to handle routine day to day administrative activities, while at least one faction foments jihad inside and outside Pakistan.

Syria? Good riddance.

Yemen? Who cares? There’s never been modern unity in that “country” anyway.

Libya? Hey, if Mubarak had to go, who on FR — other than trolls — thinks Ghaddafy should stay? He’s been the dictator for life since the late 1960s.

Morocco? The jihadists have tried to assassinate leaders and/or overthrow the gov’t a number of times. Some of the exiles and fugitives have fled to Scandinavia. One of them started the notorious “Radio Islam” website.

Funny thing that Tunisia’s not on this list, the festivities there are probably not done.

The Philipines should be on the list, the jihadists who are generally described as “separatists” — the goal of the jihadists is to splinter off lots of countries in order to control the UN General Assembly — haven’t been defeated. The way to do it is to annihilate the entire Muzzie population of the country, and put a sign on the beach, “ya want more, just c’mon back!”

China’s unlikely to just collapse, but it could happen if the jihadists decide to shut off the petroleum supply, which they can’t do without overthrowing the one important name on that list, Saudi Arabia. If the success of the jihadists in the Chinese interior becomes a priority, that’s just what the budding world caliphate will have to do. Want to talk about the US trade deficit with China? It would be solved in one fell swoop. And we don’t have the industrial capacity (particularly in electronics) to live without China.

And the fall of Saudi Arabia *will* mean another embargo, count on it. Embargoing China and the US will be close to the Muzzie endgame.
