Secretary of State Marco Rubio has waived a restriction on $320 million in military aid to Egypt that had been previously withheld over human rights concerns, citing Egypt’s help in dealing with Iran since the conflict began earlier this year.

        They control the Suez canal and are critical to stability in the region. Do you have an alternative where a deal is not reached and someone the US gets a better outcome?

          Yes. No military aid, no financial aid. Pay Egypt to use their canal, free trade.

          the region has no stability

              Egypt isn’t in a war but it’s surrounded by conflict created by Israel and the US.

              Can’t take that away in an instant but over time sure…

        That may be true, but the republicans are the ones who usually make a stink about 1) any sort of aid to other countries and 2) brown people existing

        And now they’re the ones sending money to brown people.
