Ah I didn't know that. Western media made it look like Morsi sent that dusty old bucket Tantawi packing himself and that he hand-picked Sisi because he was more reserved. So much for how that worked out lol..
By the way. Does the military ruling the country make it more or less likely for...
Yes but it's more of an issue of how United States Foreign Military Sales work. I'm a bit spoiled by living in the USA so we're more face-to-face with how this stuff is handled. It's my understanding that first either the DoD or the State Department (both part of the Executive/Presidential...
The USA wouldn't even sell Turkey Predators, let alone Egypt who borders and is an enemy of the USA's protectorate Israel.. so.. not an option.
Egypt might as well buy Herons, is what you're saying lol.
Guys. I found a solution to all of this. Why don't we donate our very favorite Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Egypt? He's great at removing military power! And we will be rid of him! It's a win-win! You're just gonna have to worry about him afterwards... but hey, we'll worry about it one step at a...
Oh I'm talking strictly post-colonial Egypt. The Albanian leader of the time, Mehmet Ali Paşa, and the military which was probably disbanded and reformed is of little relevance now.
Surely he did do some very stupid things, like the judicial "reform" you speak of.
By the military letting...
Well in all fairness it was quite a few more than a few thousands of protesters.
I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic, but if you're seriously asking when early elections happen, think of it like how they have votes of confidence in parliamentary governments. If it's not clear who is...
Hmm. Is it possible though that Morsi was unable to accomplish anything because the full reins of power were never really handed over? I don't really have much to support it but whenever I would read about Egypt it always seemed like the government was working in restraint and didn't wield...
Civil Wars never fully destroy the old order nor do they fully institute a new order. Look at Libya. Look at whats happening in Syria. What happened in Lebanon. Also, that new order might be Sharia Law, which would not benefit Egypt. Also, countless people will die and many functioning...
Eh. Not really. First of all as much as many Turks do not like Erdoğan, he's a domestic enemy, not a foreign one. I think it amounts to treason to back Israel instead of the government in this sense.
Plus again, it wasn't an issue with much domestic sway. Backing Israel wouldve been...
You've just uttered the golden words everyone needs to understand to get Egypt on track. He's gone legally or illegally, it doesn't matter anymore.
MB supporters need to give up, he's gone. Yes, the Turkish government needs to give up, he's gone.
Now is there, similar in Turkey, a concept of...
It's tough to explain. First things first Erdoğan has and never will be the flag bearer of Turkish nationalism, rather populism. Think about it. Foreign country kills 9 citizens, what's the automatic response? "SCREW [insert any country]! Let's attack ____!" So really he's just riding the...
First off, thanks for being mature and not deciding to fill this threat with insults, as you easily could have and nobody wouldve blamed you.
So you're saying that Egyptians don't respect the military, moreso it's like "Hey, that our people, they just have guns." That's pretty similar in Turkey...
Haha. Yeah man, we're nationalists about everything. Go win the World Chess Championship for Turkey and I'm sure us nationalists will put together a State Celebration in honor of our son who brought us glory lol.
Oh, in terms of economics, yes. We're not saying though, that Egypt being classified as a "Poor-Country" by an economic institution cause unrest. We're saying that the people being poor caused unrest. So at that point, economic terms shouldn't be the number one indicator but the situation on the...
Hold on a second, you're not arguing about the topic. You're arguing about Mavi Marmara again.
Before I go ahead, I do not agree with your assessment of the Mavimara event but I don't want to talk about that, just the article you posed so I'll just answer your question anyways.
Yes. It...
