"I don't know if Egypt is prepared or not to defend Syria against Israel,"

Egypt is on the U.S.A. gravy train. Who would pick up the ladle if we drop it? Russia? Iran?

Egypt might say some words but they got whipped (badly) by Israel twice before.

So do you think they would unhook from the U.S.A. gravy train, risk losing the income from the Suez for two years, risk having their airport cratered (lose of tourism), risk a destabilizing internal situation, risk loosing Gaza (again), risk loosing a large part of their air force (again), etc, etc

Remember, before you answer, there is NO USSR any more.
