NW11 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Egypt knows what good for them one administration or another. Once things calm down the UK will be looking back to being the same old. The riots are spectacular but nothing important will really change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gruffydd Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Because this destabilises the whole region - mass protests in Yemen, Tunisia, etc., Saudis in a panic. It's not rocket science. What happened to crude today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperduck Quack Quack Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 The worst case scenario is a whole chain of Iranian style double revolutions sweeping through the Arab world. The sequence being: - pro-democracy protests - popular uprising - repressive regime falls - civil unrest - weak democratic government set up - Islamic uprising - Islamic fundamentalist regime gains power.

Big Orange Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) The current band of thugs and thieves in charge of Egypt at the moment are in an untenable position, the US wetwork goons should concentrate on keeping the mad mullahs away from political power and guard the next batch of secular politicians who are on better terms with the Egyptian populace. Egypt is sitting on global chokepoints as well (the Nile and Suez Canal), more to worry about, but we should also worry about Pakistan's nukes as well when Pakistan as a country is one more major flood/earthquake away from being Afghanistan Mk. II. Edited January 29, 2011 by Big Orange Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperduck Quack Quack Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) I know there's a lot of people with much bigger worries, but the way things are going, the world's stock markets could go into free-fall on Monday, which could provoke another global financial crisis. Just checked Dow Futures on CNN Money - down 169 points. Edited January 29, 2011 by Hyperduck Quack Quack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperduck Quack Quack Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 What I see is people on the street want democracy and they dont want the son to step into the fathers shoes. They are also not happy with the price of everything so previous anger has been bought off with subsidies etc, but the simple fact is the people are poor people and I think they want a proper crack at democracy and capitalism. Agreed, but you can bet that Al Qaeda or others who share the same aims will seek to exploit the chaos to their own ends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ruffneck Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Well , 30% of the worlds oil goes through the Suez canal in Egypt. Maybe this unrest was a ploy by the big oil companies to push up the price of oil? Don't expect the price at the pump to drop anytime soon btw.

Democracy means nothing to the evil entities who rule us. Its aparently an offset for the support Armourdinnerjacket is getting from Vlad the Impaler (Putin). Its a game of East vs. West in the ME with the Russians supplying nukes to their friends* (Iran, Syria and other vile dictatorships) with the West supporting Jordan, Egypt and Kuwait. The irony is that Vlad is supporting the Islamofascists in Iran and at the samde time having to deal with Islamic terrorists blowing up their train stations and cinemas. Vlad needs to declare which he is supporting as Iran is ultimately on the side of Jihad against the infidel of which the Russians are part. ___________________ Russian foreign policy remains the same under Vlad the IMpaler as under the Soviet dictators: "any enemy of yours is also our enemy" (as said by Don Vito Corleone) Edited January 29, 2011 by Realistbear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Armourdinnerjacket may be Vlad the Impaler's puppett but I don't think he is working for Barak Hussein O'Bama. East vs. West, bin going on for thousands of years and is not going to change anytime soon. First it was the Greeks, then the Romans, then the Normans, then the Austrians, then the Brits and the US---and that is probably the end of the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
