AN OVERSIMPLIFIED HISTORY OF EGYPT'S DESCENT INTO INTERNATIONAL DISRESPECT

✍️Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️

The meme this article links to on Pepe Escobar's channel makes a point that needs to be considered. The government of Egypt keeps saying it's going to huff and puff and blow the house down but, unlike in the story of the three little pigs, it never attempts to do so. Since October of last year, red lines were constantly announced by the Egyptian government and constantly ignored by the Zionist state—and nothing ever happens, making the Egyptian government an Arab disappointment and a non-Arab laughing stock.

One is reminded that this was not always the case. During the Nasser era, Egypt was the object of many destabilization efforts and, together with its leader, was constantly vilified in the Western press. But, Egypt, for all of the vilification it endured as a country, was respected and it survived the destabilization efforts it faced, stronger rather than weaker.

During the Sadat era, realizing that Egypt alone could not defeat the Zionist state due to the overwhelming help it received from the West and due to the fact that the Arab world, then as now, worked to support the Zionist state's survival, President Sadat decided to bite the bullet and make peace. In return, Egypt's original boundaries were restored in the Sinai. Vilification largely ended and destabilization efforts, to the extent they continued, were not reported on. Egypt remained respected.

Sadat's successor, President Mubarak, seeing no other choice, worked with the West and with Israel—and was largely successful. He was personally corrupt, but did not allow personal corruption to cause national economic ruin. He promoted Egypt's economy and the prestige projects of his era, such as the Biblioteca Alexandrina, were meaningful. Egyptian cities were overcrowded and people everywhere had to hustle to make a dollar, but the cities were clean and people were well-fed. Neither homelessness nor begging was visible. By and large, he played his political options with the skill of a master violinist playing a Stradivarius. However, the Arab Spring came and the Obama administration, fearing an increasingly stronger Egypt on the borders of the Zionist state, cooperated in engineering his overthrow. And, with his overthrow, Egypt no longer needed to be respected as a nation.

After a short period of instability, President El-Sisi rose to power and has since kept it. A man with military training in the UK and America, with good English, and with Israeli support in Washington, his rise was fast. He tried to make his name with largely meaningless vanity projects and has never felt secure enough to consistently deter the destabilization efforts made against Egypt which, increasingly, are not being hidden. His way of managing relations with the Zionist state is to threaten to blow the house down and then do nothing. His budgetarily uncontrolled military now is mostly used to control the Egyptian people and not outside enemies. His one major diplomatic success is BRICS membership. With it came a certain amount of respect for the Egyptian economy which had hitherto been completely lacking. In the end, though, it does not make up for Egypt's loss of respect as a military power in the Muslim world among ordinary people and elsewhere among foreign intelligence agencies.

Egypt faces no good option. A coup d'etat seems counterproductive, but so does maintaining the status quo. All that can be done is to expect the unexpected and hope for the best. Destiny, destiny alone, will roll the dice.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Wait,what happened to as long as it takes? 🤔

Germany's military aid for Ukraine will be cut by half next year, according to a draft 2025 budget document reported by Reuters on July 17. Berlin will provide Kyiv with around 8 billion euros ($8.7billion) this year but will only give 4 billion euros ($4.35billion) in 2025.

From Kiev they report:

It is better not to buy meat and dairy products in Kiev at all.

Due to power outages, supermarkets often neglect generators, refrigerators do not have time to cool (abnormal heat and light for 4-6 hours a day), for this reason , poisoning and intestinal infections have increased in the capital.

People encounter mold on sausages and other products right in stores.

Video: People Kiev celebrating the return of power after 6 hours.

Asbery's Opinion: I'd temper this with the likelihood that some supermarkets would have generators. It is 36C today in Kiev though and there is supply chain. I suspect food safety is dodgy at times given the temperatures.
