The countries of Sykes-Picot are falling

Stockholm syndrome.

Don't worry, Atlas, I like your insight. And that Egyptian music video was pretty nice. Are those people in jail yet? Looks like quite a provocative video. I am sure General Sisi would not be happy if he saw it!

At least the Egyptians have Mubarak on trail.

I assume you meant "trial."

Yeah... that will certainly help the shitty economy, political dysfunction and no-where-to-go-but-down prognosis.

And if they stick Mubarak's head on a spike they can parade around for a day or two before they realize that they are back in the same shitter as before.

Then whose head will they want?

The Egyptians just changed names, but not the system. It's still Mubarak, only now he's called Al Sisi.

From a purely western perspective stability. For Egyptians, same shit, different day.

[Minimalist]

Bingo.  We have a winner!

How long until the Egyptians figure it out?


And when they do, half of them will turn to fucking allah to be their salvation because he has such a great track record in the rest of the world.

Ah, Mubarak is actually spending a long vacation in a 5 star hospital. The guy is still popular to so many citizens.

As for boot licking..well see the supporters of the military:







Minimalist's "Stockholm Syndrome" comment is a good description, really. You can see the case we have here: the country is literally full of cows, and anybody trying to get out gets shot and killed in the middle of the street, with millions putting the shoe of the killer on their heads; praising him and singing him songs with disgusting video clips.

Tunisian society is more civilized than Egypt's, less idiotic too, but counter-revolution won due to the terrible choice of electing "Muslim Brotherhood-influenced" politicians, who -as the case was in Egypt- failed miserably in leading the country; personally I have tons of problems with MB anyways. Ah yes; Saudi Arabia is indeed the best way out for stinky dictators; they love it!

David Cameron is a disgrace. I don't know why you guys keep electing him; I'm hearing good opinions from Britain from other politicians, there's that politician who I can't recall his name; he criticized the shit out of Saudi Arabia once, but Cameron gets elected at the end of the day; and I can't find out why.

They can't even afford justice and vigilance; neither economically nor ethically, the videos above give more insight.
They wasted their lives in 2011 to replace the regime with the same regime, in an act that points to a cultural and mental error in the essence of Egyptian mentality in precise, and Middle Eastern mentality in general. 

Eventually, the majority came back to the Army's boots.

Couldn't agree more, abaris.
Mubarak was mainly ousted because of the economy. Only few seeked freedom TBH. The majority thought that that the next president would bring them rivers of cash and gold. But that society will not abandon the sick nationalistic racist mentality of Jamal Abdul-Nasser so easily.

Even the French needed multiple revolutions... and that after chopping off far more heads than ISIS.  Most revolutions fail.  Welcome to the club.
