Military Coup in Egypt...right now

[MVike28]

Btw anyone thinkin this is a simple islamist vs liberal thing is an idiot


Saudi Arabia's defense minister prince nayef once said he'd rather destroy the Muslim Brotherhood before Al Qaeda


And King Abdullah today sent the fastest congratulatory note to the "new" interim president i have ever seen

Finally that little punk Sheikh Abdallah from the UAE..tweeted his elation at the new developments

Egypt is the only country where a coup doesnt result in US aid being suspended

Bashar in Syria celebrating today poppin champagne n shyt


Watch this transition period stretch for 2-3 years. Masr lauce

Leahy: "our law is clear: US aid is cut off when a democratically elected govt is deposed by military coup or decree"

Patrick Leahy - United States Senator for Vermont: Release

not shocked i thought he would make it another year though

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

how much longer can the instability in region last.
i'm really curious how the middle east is going to look in 20 years.

 

[Robbie3000]

Terrible precedent. Couldn't they have worked this through the political process? This just undermined their election process.

for throwing Morsy in the bushes

But, now what's in store for the people

I was going to up this, but it's getting no reaction. I guess people don't care

They don't hate Americans, they hate American foreign policy. I don't understand why people can't see the distinction.

nobody takes that seriously though because of the almost genetic propensity of arabs to be a blatant hypocrite.

*sigh*

I want to see the Pyramids one day. When will things settle down over there?

Yeah because that's more important than the lives of 90 million people

You ?


Need I remind yall that since the military coup of the 50s that is since the Nasser days..the military has had a choke hold on Egypt.

Let's review the presidents dating back to colonial Egypt:

Gamal Abdul Nasser (military general)

Anwar Sadat (military general)

Hosny Mubarak (military/airforce general)


The sheep in Egypt think the military is there to preserve their interests

It's classic case of different figurehead, same old structure.




Moral of the story...don't fukk with the SCAF(Military) they have and always will run shyt.

Morsi fukked up.
Being elected in a democracy doesn't give you license to do whatever you want (change the Constitution, install a semi-theocracy, fail to protect minority rights, etc)... The next step woud've been scrapping elections all together.
Dude was on his way to become another Mubarak

the funny thing is that they voted his azz in

whoever they choose next will do that same shyt

 

[FaTaL]

I don't care how bad Morsi was, the Egyptian Army is not the fukking guardian of liberty and democracy.

anyone celebrating today is a fool.

u know one of those generals is gonna try to take control and make things worse

people of Egypt are fuked

I guess it really depends on what happens next.
IF they hold another election then wow this might be one of the few (if not the only) time the military has stepped in and done the right thing..

if however...
They just install themselves as the leaders then well that's a dictator.

I hope for the latter and honestly based on how galvanized the population got I wouldn't be surprised if this ultimately ended up a win for the people.

I hope.

u know thats whats gonna happen

whose in charge of the military? hes the leader now
