These sure will come in handy when Egypt goes to war with Israel. And note the U.S. justifications for this at the end of the article: “The U.S.-Egypt defense relationship has served as the cornerstone of our broader strategic partnership for over thirty years.” No recognition whatsoever that the situation in Egypt has radically changed, […]
