    Israel is the gun pointed at Egypt’s head over the Suez Canal. For all the bullshit Netanyahu is pulling, too many Europeans learned all the wrong lessons from the Nasser coup and assume a “Greater Israel”

    is necessary to maintain commerce between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.

      Egypt is fully under American control already.

      Sisi is a puppet that receives billions each year from both America and Europe to surpress his population and kneel for israel. Recently he got another 8 Billion IMF bribe.

      I don’t think there’s any strategy involved in the support of israel other than israel fully owning the majority of politicians.

        Egypt is fully under American control already.

        I’d say its not, as evidenced by the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The US doesn’t even have a military base in Egypt. The closest we’ve got are in Etrea and Tripoli, with our West African bases getting squeezed out by the recent wave of military coups. Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are fundamental to our control of the region.

        I don’t think there’s any strategy involved in the support of israel

        Think harder.
