| 2017-06-13 |
| [Iran Press TV] A prominent Egyptian rights lawyer has called President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi a "traitor" over his government's controversial decision to cede illusory sovereignty of two Red Sea islands to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Egypt's top benefactor. Khaled Ali, 45, who also ran in Egypt's 2012 presidential election, made the comment during a meeting of opposition parties on Sunday to condemn the ongoing review of last year agreement, which handed over the two uninhabited islands Tiran and Sanafir to the Arab kingdom. "The president is a traitor and the prime minister is a traitor," said Ali in his address before the meeting, a video of which was posted on social media on Monday. "Whoever will be content to lower the Egyptian flag on Tiran and Sanafir and raise the Saudi flag in its place is a traitor," he added. |

| #3 How many Egyptians would starve if the Soddies stopped paying for their food? Lots and lots, which is a quantity I suspect counted in the low tens of millions. Egypt is currently using new loans to pay off old bills; if I recall correctly inflation is running around 30%. When the Saudis run out of oil money it's going to get ugly, though not as ugly as it would have been before the new Egyptian gas wells opened for business. |

| #1 Wrong answer. This is the right time to establish their control there. Sisi is doing what is needed. |
