Egypt Resists US Push to Aid Ukraine
Newsmax ^ | August 11, 2023 | Luca Cacciatore

Egypt is resisting calls from the Biden administration to arm Ukraine for its imminent counteroffensive, just months after Cairo dropped plans to help Moscow.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that although Egypt has agreed not to assist the Kremlin's invasion, its government is hesitant to help the Western effort to refill Ukraine's dwindling ammunition supplies.

Top-ranked members of the Pentagon reportedly asked Egypt in March to supply Ukraine with artillery shells, antitank missiles, air-defense systems, and small arms — a request they have still been pushing.

Not surprised after the Obama directed US attempt to put the Egyptian Government in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood, killing plenty of Egyptians in the process.

Egyptians have memories.

What balls it takes to ask these countries to continue supplying the war machine.

Our top military men are scouring the world for weapons they can buy, steal or cajole out of other countries that;

A) might think having their old stockpile is a handy idea in this world.

B) might not want to anger the BRICs for something they don’t really care about. IE..Does Egypt really feel connected to Ukraine or hate Russia like a neocon?

C) Doesn’t really have that much respect left for DC and doesn’t really like them very much.

--- "Top-ranked members of the Pentagon reportedly asked Egypt in March to supply Ukraine--- "

... because these same top-ranked members of the Pentagon have 1) the largest war budget in the world (at more than the next six nations down a list), and yet with all that, cannot supply some East European country with enough war materiel because WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OURSELVES.

Say one hell of a lot about "top-ranked members of the Pentagon and their inability to plan.

All those medals and all that idiocy shown on the same fancy uniforms....

Why the hell would Egypt care one iota about Ukraine?

Who wants to support a severely corrupted, losing nation? The whole world knows this, except for the US that sits 6,000 miles away, in la la land.

Obama was an angel of death. He had a hand, or direct role, in subverting and causing civil war or near genocide in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Ukraine - and on the streets of the good old USA itself. In particular, his Syrian adventure created the largest refugee flow in Europe since WWII

Oh, and how the urban leftists fell into line to cheer him, behind the state-run media, immediately after Bush and Cheney.

“Who wants to support a severely corrupted, losing nation? “


Does this refer to Ukraine, or the United States?

He certainly wielded much bad influence. I truly expected him to ascend to United Nations General Secretary - he may not be the Antichrist, but he does a fantastic impersonation. He is paving the way for the real Antichrist, whomever that may be.

You're not supposed to have seen that.
