SISI WINS… NOW…WHERE DOES EGYPT GO?
Did the congratulatory phone get place from DC to Sisi?
I’ve not heard, but my guess is it did not!
Is the US administration still upset over the tossing out of
the Brotherhood?
Well, that is most likely the opinion of those who have been
tacking this event.
So, where does Sis go from here?
Does he strengthen his relationship, on the slide of course,
with Israel?
How else would he deal with the resistance that will
continue from Gaza?
Will he reach out to Saudi and the GCC knowing the money to
help ease his pain resides in the bank accounts of these nations?
The answer rest with looking at Jordan…. The model for
learning how to reach out to the real money in the region.
Will Sisi put any effort to working with the Persians?
Only if the Tsar tells him it would be to his benefit.
What does that mean?
Does the Tsar get a majority vote on what decisions Egypt
may make?
Yes.
What is old is new again and who do we have to thank for
this?
Next question.
Is the new Egyptian
leader sailing into calm waters now?
For the most part……yes!!
Can a ground level insurgency begin in Egypt?
Can Egypt start down the road of Lebanon or worse Syria.
Perhaps, but my gut tells me it won’t happen anytime soon.
Syria is not going well for the Sunni radicals and all
efforts, shy of Yemen, seem to be focusing on turning the tide once again in
Syria.
Does the West understand the risk of letting Egypt slide all
the way into the Tsar’s camp?
I wouldn’t bank on it.
Something tells me the power that be in DC somehow see Sisi’s
rise as a Republican plot or worse yet… something that is GW’s fault!!!
