Liberals: Look at the hellhole we made of Egypt. You can't even operate a good CIA black site out of there anymore.
Liberals when asked where the Palestinian people should go after bombing their homes: Why can't they just go to Egypt?

Democrats stop demonizing Arab, and Muslim, people challenge. Level:IMPOSSIBLE
Putting on the thickest glasses known to man. What did they say? Demonize Arabs and level 'em. Sure can do you whipper-snapper.
"Where is Egypt now?"
North Africa. Next question.
Seems like a 
moment.
Remind me, which political party was in charge in 2010 when the Arab Spring kicked off?
The CIA
Girlboss pop feminism
she's right, dictatorships are where it's at.
TFW they only support the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie 
tfw 
Was arab spring bad? At the time I thought it was spun as generally good? I was a dumb er lib back then so I've no clue, but I could've sworn it was supposed to be a showcase or framing of the power of social media to organize and overthrow tyranny? Y'all got some unbiased non lib non 'tankie' (only to show a libber lib) source so I can read it through and make my own opinion
The Arab Spring was not "bad", it was just complicated. Egypt in particular had a lot of radlib "nonviolence" peeps that got sidelined fast after Mubarak fell because they had no party infrastructure and weren't really looking to build one. All the leftists in Egypt had already been killed or fled. The only viable alternative was the Muslim Brotherhood (right wing Muslim party), which the secular Egyptian Army (which also owns like 1/4 of the entire Egyptian economy) absolutely hate. Morsi won the Presidential election, the Brotherhood became the ruling party, and they were subsequently couped by the secular military that installed Mubarak 2.0 aka Sisi.
Ok ty for the quick synopsis.
Thank you very much
Bad. It led to even more pro us/ pro west dictators in power.
Ugh... I'm assuming it was because it left behind a power vacuum? And if that's the case wouldn't the ghouls be ok with it?
As a general rule I've come to a point where if libs like something it's because it's benefiting the US which is in turn probably harming the rest of the world. This is correct 99% of the time.
As someone else stated, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing when it had started but eventually devolved. I'll read more into it but it was a pretty quick synopsis to get the gist. And yeah the logic is pretty strong regarding what libs support.
No there wasn't a vacuum this time, they had picked many of the pro-democracy puppets.
Others already summarized it but if you want to read about it Bevin's If We Burn is a good book that addresses it.
Yeah look at sisi which we helped install and wholeheartedly support
Where is Egypt now
Licking US boot as you always wanted ffs
She looks like a racist white teacher in an inner city school
This is Fire of Gondor for the deep state. An unexpected power vacuum has left an opening and there’s a deep state civil war going on to decide who replaces Biden.
Harmon works for the Woodrow Wilson Center she actually does know a thing or two about color revolutions. “It’s easy to knock people off” that’s a threat.
Well, I guess Trump ending up like Morsi is pretty funny. I wonder who will be the USA equivalent of Sisi.
