US cancels $130m military aid for Egypt over rights concerns

[dBSPL]

Nothing comes free when dealing with America. Always strings attached.

Does it come free with China?

 

[Ghostkiller]

or more accurately 'political differences.. ' lets not kid ourselves the US and "rights concerns" don't go in the same sentence.

The US government are the biggest hypocrite in the world. They are contradicting themselves. They criticize Egypt about human rights issues but not with themselves or with Israel. In Iraq they commited many human rights abuses like Abou Gharib Prison or in Israel agaisnt the Palestinians. Even with Amnesty saying that Israel is an Apartheid State they refused it. USA doesn't care about human rights at all it is just card they are using to criticize and create chaos in those countries.

Do you think it's possible for Trump to be re-elected?

Possible, but it would be close. The Democrats know they're in trouble so they might be preparing for a surprise like Michelle Obama. In which case Trump would be toast. Any mainstream Republican would beat any of the current Democrats. DeSantis would wipe the floor with anyone, but if Trump runs then I don't think DeSantis runs.

Anti-Trump sentiment is not about his policies, but about his personality.

That's my point America gave them for free i mean $130million

Free is better then affordable

Thats the point tho`,if it comes with strings attached,as this clearly does,then its certainly NOT "free".
Of course very little is truly free in this world,but on this occasion the "affordable" option certainly seems to be a lot cheaper than the "free" option.
In truth this sort of deal is a very old scam used by conmen,fly by nighters and national governments alike.
Ultimately I guess it all comes down to whatever costs the egyptian state finds is the cheaper,ie the political costs that come with "free" us weapons,or the economic costs that come with "affordable" chinese weapons.
Because one way or another you will end up paying.

America gave them $130million for military aid i doubt China will give the same. If you want to fill the vacuum then this amount must be paid.

China is more interested to give aid in infrastructure than military. For example, China will give Egypt a loan of USD 10 billion for HSR, but Chinese HSR must be chosen and end up only USD 9bilion are needed to pay back

President Trump with Vice President Dr Öz will be better for the world.

That sounds like a good deal.

Do you understand what no-strings-attached means?

 

[EAGLE777]

Do you understand what no-strings-attached means?

Yeah it means i am allowed to upgrade it myself or use my own munitions or sell it to 3rd parties etc

Clueless

GCC has realized who is the real friend in long term interest with China. But now Egypt is coming to terms with US foriegn policy of Biden Administration.

Proof?

Never heard of China disabling or denies maintenance of military equipment sold. Unlike the US.

Do you have proof Chinese military sales comes with strings attached?

All the more reason to provide proof, right? If other countries regularly do this, what stops China from doing so? In fact it probably makes it more likely.

They made the claim, so the burden of proof falls on them.

No dude, burden of proof doesn't work like this. If you accuse someone of commiting a crime, the burden of proof is on you. If you say "I've never committed a crime", the burden of proof is on the person challenging this claim.
