When will the Saudi money dry up?
Good question. What is Egypt without outside aid & money?
Tourism is drying up & they have no oil. Oh, for the glory days of Nasser when he just picked up the phone:
“Hello, Washington? I need ten billion dollars right now & if I don’t get it, I’ll go communist!! By tomorrow? OK, thanks, g’bye.”
“Hello, Moscow? I need ten billion rubles worth of tanks & MiGs & if I don’t get them, I’ll join the pro-Western Baghdad Pact! They’re on the way? Great!”
We’re still on the hook to give Egypt tanks & F-16’s. Some things never change. Uncle Sugar for one.
