I wonder who is the guy with the ID badge and the "come hither look" on Sisi's left?
WNU,
"what is noticeably absent is the presence of the U.S.. "
I would ask this: If Putin is the big bad threat to Europe as we are informed by NATO, then why is a key member sending critical air assets (with support tail) all the way to Egypt now to fight Islamic militias in Libya? Cairo is a long way from Orly airport.
James .... Putin has already won (my 22:00 EST post) .... so it is now off to the next war.
"Putin has already won", Yeah I know. What a bunch of blowhards run the West. Now we basically have to rely on the hope that Putin isn't that bad a guy. Who knows, I don't and even if he is he won't be in power forever and what about the next one? Reliance on possible good qualities of the next strong man isn't a good way to make a living in the affairs of the world.
