ok, Gary. note sure what is happening with the quotes. ill try again sine I'm not finished with that isis dude.
The quote html code works like brackets as you know so you have to check there are not extra brackets around the place causing mischief or your text will get all messed up.
Just copy one paragraph or line of text at a time and reply to that before copying the next comment and replying to that rather than copying everything and then putting your text inside the quotes.
Anyway if Egypt is as strong as you pretend thry wouldn't hide such thing.
Who are they afraid of ?
The US normally threatens to cut trade or prosecute some Egyptian businesses.... the sort of shit they pulled to get France to stop the Mistral deal which would have been very profitable for them.
Yeah some pilots were over confident.
Most fighter pilots are arrogant pricks... it is really part of their job description... you don't join a duelling club if you think you are second best because second best ends up dead.
Just say thank you to them and buy whatever they present you instead of kissing US ass.
I doubt they want Egypt to grovel at their feet, but mutual respect is a necessary thing between countries before anything else.
Their is no big powerful country that can do as it pleases and all others who have to do as they are told.
Egypt is a country with an awesome history, and deserves respect no matter who is talking to it, whether it be Russia or the US or New Zealand, but that respect must be
neutral mutual... no one got a free ride.
@GARYb NOT SURE WHY MY POST ARE ALL INTERMINGLED. Any FIX?
When you cut and paste things around in your reply I think the quote html is getting mixed up so things that are not quotes become quotes and things that are appear to be by other people.
Can I suggest instead of quoting an entire post and then putting comments into it that you just quote lines or paragraphs at a time.
There is no anti-Egyptian rethoric. Egyptian are under the dominance of the USA. They can't do anything without their aproval
But France and all of Europe is free to do as it pleases....
What did Egyptians do to help Russia who saved them from Israel plenty of times ? Nothing. They can see how friendly Egypt is.
Russia does not need Egypt to send weapons or money or verbally support them... Russia does not like war either and given the choice there would not be a war in the Ukraine... but there was no choice... the purpose of both Minsk agreements was peaceful settlement of the problems without any fighting but Kiev kept fighting anyway and building up its forces so it could invade. They lied to Russia and the west helped them. Russia prefers talks and negotiations but Kiev cannot be trusted, they have proven untrustworthy... as has Germany and France who pretended to want peace and really wanted Kiev to be stronger so it could take what they wanted.
None of this is Egypts problem... they are not part of the western sanctions, which is the wests punishment for Russia doing what had to be done.
Russia is not demanding its so called allies help them and send weapons and money to help them fight Kiev, they are not rallying BRICS or demanding sanctions against Europe despite all their bullshit creating this conflict.
If Russia had not invaded then Kiev would have attacked on March 8th 2022 and who knows what damage they might have done and what things they might have destroyed in the hours they attacked before Russian forces could respond.
Apparently Egypt sent munitions/weapons to Ukraine.
So there is that....
Until there is actual evidence of that happening then I call bullshit propaganda on that... remember the US has claimed everyone from Iran and China and North Korea has been supplying them weapons and ammo and it has all proven to be untrue.
(Those Iranian designed drones are licence produced in Russia... they have been testing them in Syria and set up production for them in Russia before this conflict started... they will also have upgraded their navigation systems and communications systems to be compatible with Russian equipment which could not happen over night.)
It is all the same Russia is running out of weapons BS propaganda which has been proven wrong time and time again.

Your meltdown isn't helping you.
El Jizz is a western propaganda site and it quotes the Washington Post for fucks sake... it couldn't be any more western propaganda bullshit if it came from Kiev.

Even Alexander Mercorous also mentioned this.
Quotes the Washington Post again as the source... I got a virus just visiting that news site...
@Gomig-21,
I don't know whether these guys are winding you up on purpose or they just don't get it, perhaps you might want to take a break from the forum for a couple of days... just for your health.
I am not banning you, but making the recommendation that you ignore the idiots for a couple of days.
Pretty sure plenty of idiots think countries are losers for folding to the US and think everyone elses country does the same... makes them feel better about their own country taking it up the arse... I mean France and Canada can hardly throw stones at Egypt, except in this case they are using rather poor information sources and running with that like it was true...
Take it easy.
