In his latest interview with Judge Napolitano, Colonel MacGregor continues to get Egypt wrong. It's unbelievable to me the degree to which he is uninformed about Egypt. For instance, he stated, again, what he has maintained all along, namely, that the US did not want the Muslim Brotherhood in power, when it patently foisted the MBs on Egypt and forced the Egyptian Judicial Council to declare Morsi the winner of the presidential election of 2012 ahead of schedule: Despite H. Clinton's machinations meant to ensure that the MB candidate would have no viable opposition in that election, thus paving for him a clear path to victory, Morsi won with only a razor-thin margin, that's if he actually won, which is debatable. Indeed, many Egyptians believe that Morsi lost. However, due to the US intimidation of the army generals and support for the Muslim Brotherhood, the transitional Military Council (put in place post-Mubarak) had no choice but to do the US's bidding, declaring Morsi president. The ousting of Morsi in 2013 angered the Americans and the EU, a period I remember very distinctly: daily emissaries from the CW would arrive in Cairo to threaten the Egyptian government and state, demanding the release from jail of prominent Muslim Brotherhood leaders, etc.

During the rest of Obama's time in power, the White House and the State Department were at war with Egypt, and American think tanks like the Brookings Institute and its hack Shadi Hamed, along with every Western NGO under the sun, spent $$$, time and effort to demonize and destabilize the Egyptian state and Sisi. Western politicians, even ones no longer in office, homesteaded on Twitter campaigning against Egypt, prominent among whom were Carl Bildt and BHL.

Weeks before Biden assumed power, he made an outrageous public statement saying that one of his first actions once in office would be to oust Sisi. Remember that the Obama administration and the H. Clinton staff were swarming with self-avowed Muslim Brothers and/or their affiliates, like Huma Abdin and Co. The same happened in Canada once Trudeau became PM. [In passing, I'll just add that the Minister of Transportation in Canada during Covid, who slammed on millions of us, unvaxxed, a travel ban, was a Syrian-born, Saudi-bred weasel from the Brotherhood.]

Trump was less favourable towards the Muslim Brotherhood. However, the antipathy towards the Egyptian army remained. And what did Biden in the dying days of his administration do in terms of actions against Egypt? As of yesterday, the US has levied sanctions on the Egyptian army, claiming that Egypt has revoked the Camp David Accord, a claim being repeated ad nauseam in the Israeli press, probably paving the way for a war aimed to take over Sinai and the Suez Canal, a dream the colonial powers never relinquished.

Here is a CNN article from 2012 that takes us back to the real US schemes in the aftermath of the "Arab Spring/Nightmare" of that period. The CW wanted Egypt to end up in the tight grip of the Islamists whom they have aided and abetted everywhere else in the region, as the latters have always been traitors to their respective nations and willing accomplices to the Neocolonial powers. A few months prior to his ousting, Morsi drove around the Cairo Stadium in Nasser's historic car and made a speech in which he declared that he would send Egyptian youth to fight alongside ISIS in Syria to topple Assad. That was what the US had asked him to do. In the opinion of many, that speech and that intention ultimately proved his undoing.

"For years, Brussels screamed:
“Russia is breaking international law! Violating sovereignty! The rules-based order is dying!”
They never mention that Russia acted to stop the genocide against Russian-speaking people in Donbas
and to prevent NATO’s endless eastward expansion right up to its borders.
Now Trump sends troops into Venezuela, grabs Maduro, talks about “running the country”…
and suddenly the outrage is on mute.
Now Trump threatens tariffs, demands Greenland from Denmark, bullies half of Europe…
and the loudest moral preachers in Berlin, Paris and Brussels?
They whisper complaints and call emergency meetings.

Alice Weidel didn’t hold back. In her sharp speech she said it plain:

> “We’ve heard years of loud outrage about Putin violating international law.
> Now those same critics are strangely quiet when Trump does what they criticized Putin for:
> violating sovereignty in Venezuela and with Greenland.”
And let’s not forget Gaza.
The same EU that ...
