Agreed. Russia is now in a more influential position in the ME than the US is, in spite of all the blood and treasure we have spent there.
Another sterling performance by Obama and Kerry in the international political arena. (sarcasm)
I suppose you can't expect better from a community organizer and a liberal elitist.
Heya Eorhn that's what the minister of Egypt is talking about.
Egypt: FM - Russia-Egypt 2+2 Talks Allow Coordinating Positions On Int'l, Regional Issues
"Russian hospitality is sufficient reason as it is for this visit, but I would like also to note that this format of talks involving the foreign and defense ministers reflects fully positions of negotiating parties on regional and international issues," Fahmy said.
Fahmy noted that Egypt and Russia have many issues, which should be discussed at talks on Thursday, including international problems, primarily the situation in the Middle East as well as different aspects of bilateral relations, including ties in trade and economic, cultural and humanitarian spheres and development of military-technical cooperation.
The minister also noted that ongoing meetings in Moscow "reflect Egypt's support to Russia's position over preserving stability in the region of the Middle East and North Africa and averting attempts at destabilizing the situation.".....snip~
