Vladimir Putin to visit Cairo in support of General Sisi’s move to outlaw Muslim Brotherhood, while Obama fumes

President Vladimir Putin is set to visit to Cairo on the advice of Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan. The prince told Putin that Saudi King Abdullah was in favor of the Russian president going to Cairo as soon as possible and did not rule out the visit occasioning the signing of a large Russian arms sale to Egypt, bankrolled by the oil kingdom.

DEBKA  The prospect of a Russian presidential visit has fired Gen. El-Sisi with redoubled energy and impetus for his crackdown on the Brotherhood. Putin hopes to come away from Cairo as champion of the war on radical Islam in two important Arab countries and the most reliable ally of forces for moderation. (While Obama is arming and funding the radical Islamists including the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Libya, and al-Qaeda in Syria)

Putin will play it to the hilt as a platform to show the world, and especially Arab Muslims, that he alone of the world’s five leading powers is openly committed to fighting radical Islam and ready to assist any Arab leader sharing this commitment….in striking contrast to Washington.

Putin will find Egypt’s strongman, Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, in full cry with his next steps against the Muslim Brotherhood, after unseating its president in a coup on July 3. El-Sisi is holding urgent discussions with the heads of the judiciary to have the movement outlawed. The unwritten pact between the generals and judicial system is the most potent political force in Egypt today, which the Brotherhood will find hard to beat.

The Obama administration is already seething over the Kremlin’s decision to grant the fugitive former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden temporary asylum in Russia for escaping trial in the States on a charge of espionage.

Even more painful knocks are in store for Barack Obama’s Middle East policy and prestige when Egypt’s military strongman proceeds to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood movement in defiance of his wishes and Putin turns up in Cairo with more provocations.

I never thought I would live to see the day that I had more respect for a Russian leader than I have for an American president. But I certainly do. barry has made us the laughing stock of the world! The gutless two faced little weasel.

[SUSAN MARIANO]

I'M WITH YOU ON PUTIN.  OBAMA IS PISSED AND I AM SO HAPPY..

I THINK THEY ARE LOVERS ( YOU KNOW THEY WILL GET BACK TOGETHER ) JUST IN TIME TO GO AFTER ISRAEL .

[Barbara Marrs]

Russia has just as much concern about the destruction of radical Islam as do the rest of us.  Since this makes Oboho upset it makes me happy.

I just pray we (the U.S.) don't come down on the wrong side of Biblical history when it comes to supporting Israel in the final battles. I always envisioned the U.S. defending Israel when all her neighbors come against her, as predicted per the book of Revelation.

[Harry Riley]

Putin and everyone else with a brain the size of a pea understands the weak-knee in the White House as well as the Flag officers now in positions of authority.  The Middle East is wide open for Russia to enter and enlarge their operating base and proxy elements.

Agree with you Harry ..
