Tucker Carlson had suggested that Trump would announce that the US would declare war on Venezuela, but it turns out Trump only called this public address because his supporters are angry about their economic prospects.

There was a weird moment when 'Ambassador to Vatican City' became a 'fuck you' job for the Egyptian regime. Morsi tried to appoint the anti-Muslim Brotherhood AG to this position (Abdel Meguid Mahmoud) Then Sisi made Morsi's former VP the ambo. That's what "Shield of the Americas" is becoming.

Also Obama's "support" for the Arab Spring didn't include Egypt,
where he refused to certify that Al-Sisi's coup was a coup
(which would've triggered US laws against military aid),
because he didn't like Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, the only popularly elected government in Egypt's history.

I remember meeting this Egyptian violist once - I was teaching him at a summer program in the middle of the 30 June revolution that toppled Morsi's government. And listening to him very intelligently and cogently defend a military coup that would end democracy in his country was very instructive.

True, but it's because Morsi's overreaches and blunders, absent security state backing, would have led to ruin, discrediting political Islam across the Arab world for a generation. This is what Sisi took from Egypt and the region.

Shater would have definitely been savvier about keeping the Saudis/Emiratis happy, but he was still very much a tanzim guy, and I can't imagine that Morsi's policy decisions were that different from what Shater had in mind (per his speech on the nahda project in early 2012).
