Turkey Warns Egypt That They Will Deploy More Forces To Libya If Egypt's Military Enter Libya



Al Jazeera: 'Dangerous adventure': Turkey warns Egypt over Libya invasion

At Istanbul meeting, Russia and Turkey agree to push for a ceasefire but Ankara says eastern commander must retreat.

Turkey and Russia agreed on Wednesday to press for a ceasefire in war-ravaged Libya, but Ankara said the leader of the eastern forces was illegitimate and must withdraw from key positions for a credible truce to take hold.

Moscow and Ankara are among the main power brokers in Libya's conflict while supporting opposing sides. Russia backs the eastern-based forces of renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar, while Turkey has helped the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) repel Haftar's attempt to storm the capital.

"The huge expense of the Libya operations has already caused Turkey to send several thousand of its Syrian mercenaries back to Syria and lower paying jobs."

The Turks are better trained than the Egyptians, but the Turks have sent over half their soldiers home.

If it does not break the Egyptian bank, the Egyptians should deploy for the experience and top break the Turkish bank.

Egyptians will get road march and logistics experience.

The have more time to train troops, whose mind might be more wonderfully concentrated.

They do not have to make it to the front to start draining the Turkish treasury or break the Turk bank.

Turks lose abut 10% of their Arab mercenaries in a 3 to 6 month deployment. If they lose double that, their system may break.

The Turks have played the up the ante game - it's time to call.

Cyprus punked out. So did Greece and France.

Egypt - it's time to lead the Arabs again.

Bust their nuts.

They ain't all that.
