Live from Egypt: Watch now while you can

[Yiddishpilot]

Doesn't it all come down to our support of Israel? I mean we like Israel, Egypt doesn't want to blow up Israel so therefore Egypt is our ally. We can't really stay out of the middle east unless we withdraw our support for Israel.

If we withdraw support for Israel, they're completely and utterly fucked.

Well, I don't know about that. They have a better military than any of their neighbors, and their government's more stable. Egypt can't exactly conquer them in their present state.

Egypt? Add Palestine, Iran, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia (at the very least). Then tell me Israel has a fighting chance.

Israel really shouldn't have been giant pricks if they wanted to live peacefully. That being said, they don't have anything to be afraid of, cause they play a very important role in keeping our trade routes open (and they say colonial empires are dead). But I really don't see what this has to do with Egypt's freedom. I doubt the first think the people will want, after being freed, is to go to war.

And yeah I was talking about Europe's 1989. It's really sad that China didn't manage to overthrow their regime. The Chinese get such a bad name cause of their government, but they are really very nice, hard working people. And it's not like they support their government (although there have been much worse regimes out there).

Also

That would be nice, but it probably won't turn out that well. North Africa and the Middle East have trouble with staying peaceful.

Yeah but Europe had problems like that as well, and with the exception of the Balkans (who the fuck thought making different ethnicities who hate each other live in the same country, was a good idea?), it has been really peaceful ever since 1989.

Hopefully this will turn into Africa's 1989

If he meant that 1989, and not Europe's 1989, then yeah, Africa has a good chance of having theirs.

Yeah that was China in 1989, when the cold war was ended and the Chinese government wanted to deal with protesters in Tiananmen..

Almost a half of the way down you can see the exact picture.. Obviously a very famous picture of the 20th century..

i just didn't understand the european and african references. i thought china was in asia. i know there were lots of uprisings the world over in 1989, but i didn't post a picture of the berlin wall coming down and have someone start talking about the fall of the PRC or something.

my brain hurts.
