EU warns will 'urgently review' Egypt ties
France 24 - International News ^ | August 18, 2013 | Staff

Posted on 08/18/2013 10:46:35 AM PDT by yoe

European Union leaders Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso warned Egypt's army and interim government Sunday the bloc would review its ties with the country unless the violence ended.

Further escalation could have "unpredictable consequences" for Egypt and its neighbours, the presidents of the European Council and European Commission said.

"This path will not succeed. It is crucial that violence ends immediately," they said.

The 28-nation bloc would continue efforts to promote an end to violence, resumption of political dialogue, and return to a democratic process, the statement added.

"To this effect, together with its member states, the EU will urgently review in the coming days its relations with Egypt and adopt measures aimed at pursuing these goals."

They are not blind. It’s just that their plans are being screwed up by the Egyptian Military. The European socialists support the Muslim Brotherhood. Why do you think they sit silent while the Islamists take over Western Europe?

I am forced by the facts to agree with that. But comprehending it's basis comes much more slowly. I will never understand why in the name of political ideology a person is willing, even anxious, to give up his culture and cultural heritage.

I will miss Europe.

Putin who is being called upon to step in probably will

meanhwhile he needs to shut off Europe’s gas pipeline next winter and let them use windmills to stay warm

maybe the Egyptian military needs to set up toll booths on the Suez

Yes, they call it the U.S. military, and they are willing to put every last man and woman serving in it to achieve the EU agenda.

I’ll explain this as easily as I can manage.

Liberals of all countries have one agenda. Liberalism. We all know that. However most people will not accept that ti trumps EVERYTHING.

First, understand that the liberal believes in personal gain above everything BUT that agenda. And he thinks that his usefull idiotness will put him at the table of power when it all hashes out. He will be one of the kings.

They hate nationalism so no country matters. THERT country will be built. Utopia.

They look on any culture but liberalism as a cancer to be chemoed. It is to be replaced by the doctrines of Unicorns and college professors.

They have no God so men women and children are numbers to be subtracted.

With that in mind...

Muslims are and alwaus have been a sword. Period. They are easily led, easily manipulated so they are the perfect tool to hammer western civ with while libs remain blameless under the guise of respecting their religion.

Exceot all that is built on false premise. They won’t be kings, Utopia is a pipe dream and muslims are uncontrollable for more than the immediate future. they have their own plans and they coincide at the moment with liberals.

Linerals think they are smart. Muslims know they are sheep. Thats why over a thousand years of liberals b=have dealt with and died at muslim hands.

The libs think they can control them until the purges begin and their problem simply goes away leaving them in a right wing/and a muslim free world. They will continue to BS brown people as their worker bee class while they rule.

Look to the history of liberas for 3000 years. The story is always the same. History does not lie.

I hear ya, but it's amazing to see how many in this world have their fingers firmly implanted in others business... George Washington was correct in a lot of ways on this.

I see another world war in the making here....hope I'm wrong.

The Eurotrashes ought to mind their manners and shut the bleep up. If the Suez Canal has so much as a low tide they are the ones who will be demanding the old days when it brought their krap reliably. They help us a little with task force 150 but they will drop Somali pirates like syphylitic girlfriends if they need to help keep the canal operating. Imagine how tough things would get in Europe if suddenly they couldn’t get Indian underpants, flying carpets, and Chinese can openers?

I believe the Saudis already have stepped in. They are currently giving Egypt about 7 times as much aid as the USA. The royal family doesn’t want the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of Egypt.

Why?-—the answer is simple. As with some of us (USA): cheap labor. Next question is: why does cheap labor seem to over ride quality of life?

You are right about this of course and "useful idiotness" is the perfect term. But, despite this, I'm amazed that even a dedicated Liberal can look at how the Muslim/Jihadist/al Qaeda types conduct warfare and governance (all the same thing to them) and believe that they will somehow come out on top of this fantasy collaboration.

Schmucks would MUCH rather have the Muslim Brotherhood running a country a few hundred miles away armed with a modern army modern air force and a strong desire to kill them.

Why does the Left support the Islamists? At first glance, it does seem strange. However, when you peel back the onion, the Left has always been after one thing: absolute power. It was true (and obvious) in Stalin's time and it is true now. The best way to successfully wield absolute power is to totally subvert the individual to the State. To do that, one must tear down the attitudes, values, and traditions that the majority holds dear and replace them with a new, different set. This is a variant on the technique used in military basic training. That is part of the reason why the Left supports things like rampant immigration, Gay marriage, and radical feminism while eschewing traditional Western religions. Radical Islam fits the bill in two respects. First, like the Left, it seeks the overthrow of Judeo/Christian culture. Second, and more importantly, Islamic clerics have close to absolute power over their adherents. If the Mullahs can motivate someone to be a suicide bomber, convincing them to pay higher taxes should be a piece of cake. Many in the Left must salivate at the thought of having that much control over the individual. At some point, the Left will have to choose between radical Islam and the continued embrace of its traditional interest groups (gays, feminists, etc). I predict they will chose the former, because ultimately the Islamists will be more numerous (in 30-50 years or so).

Because they are superior intellects. They understand that it never worked for anyone in the past because they lacked the enlightened views of the modern liberal.

Seriously. Look at how they operate. They really believe this. And their inherent racism towards brown people and their ‘obvious’ mental superiority it us knuckle draggers ensure their coming victory.

They really believe it, Once you accept that, the rest falls into place.
