Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
The Biden administration approved a $691 million anti-tank missile sale for Egypt last week

On Thursday, the Pentagon said the State Department approved a potential sale of CH-47F Chinook helicopters and related equipment to Egypt worth about $2.6 billion.
The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said the sale is for 56 Chinooks, which come with installed M-240 machine guns. The principal contractor for the deal is Boeing.
The Chinook sale is the second arms deal the Biden administration moved forward for Egypt this month. Last week, the State Department approved the sale of over 5,000 TOW 2A anti-tank missiles worth an estimated $691 million.
The sales to Egypt come despite concerns in Washington over Cairo’s human rights abuses and its harsh treatment of political prisoners. Egypt receives about $1.3 billion in military aid from the US each year, the second-highest of any country except for Israel, although Ukraine has surpassed both nations for 2022.
Last year, the Biden administration withheld $130 million in military aid from Egypt after pressure from Congress, but many critics said it didn’t go far enough. As a candidate, President Biden vowed to take a harder line on Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, but the arms sales continued.
The State Department’s approval of the Chinook deal begins a period where it could potentially be blocked by Congress.
What Zionist fail to understand is that all these wahabi Zionist loving government have Iran/Hezbollah spies in their governments. All those weapons being sent to Egypt, Azerbaijani, Bahrain etc. will eventually have the blueprints leaked to Iran, because Egypt has a lot of pro Hezbollah/Iran citizens. Everytime israel or USA make a deal there’s a chance that eventually Iran will get the know how on to make them, or even know how to counter the weapons.
Hopefully that’s one of Iran/Hezb big surprise
Very nice. Death to Zionists and Israel.
Just like all whitepriders, you are the same type.
You have revealed your jewish roots Anton.
By your logic, all people are jews after Noah and his son Shem (beginning of semetic ethinc group). Your lies don’t make you better and don’t change reality.
President Putin: “I Support Israel” Federation of the Jewish Communities of the CIS
https://fjc-fsu.org/president-putin-support-israel/
“Support for Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s military effort to stop Hamas’ incessant rocket attacks against Israel’s civilians, is coming directly from the Kremlin.
“I am closely tracking what is happening in Israel,” Russian President Vladimir Putin remarked in a meeting on Wednesday with a delegation of Chief Rabbis and representatives of the Rabbinical Center of Europe.
The purpose of the meeting, according to the Kremlin, was to discuss joint efforts to prevent the rewriting of history, the fight against neo-Nazism and neo-fascism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.”
2014th, almost impossible to check true or not. Title is false anyway, because ripped out of context. HAMAS leaders were in Moscow before and after that. DAESH (supported by Tel-Aviv also) was stopped in 2015th in Syria. Syrian army got S-300PM2 in addition to “Buk-M2E” and “Pantsir-S” to shot down israeli targets, if they attack Syria.
The Egyptian do not have their own national identity and they are by culture untrustworthy and liars. Indeed the blueprints of the weapons will be leaked to Iran.
Al-Sisi seems a little greasy.
Just another round of corruption money to keep the Egyptians in line. BTW, the ancient Israelites NEVER came out of Egypt. Exodus has been a big fat longstanding LIE. The ancient Israelites came from SW Arabia / NE Yemen. The ancient Egyptians were very precise with their recorded history. The western narrative and regurgitation of propaganda of Ancient Egypt and the pyramids is intentionally wrong. Organized religion has been playing humanity as bitches for thousands of years. Why do you think Zionist crypto jew Bin Salman of Arabia is so buddy buddy with Israel?
WATCH THIS VIDEO. Search on youtube: “Why the pyramids are not mentioned in the bible?” by Ashraf Ezzat.
Many people tried to argue with Bible, but failed. Don’t be one of them.
Too bad you failed to answer the question, “Why the pyramids are not mentioned in the bible?”. Cognitive dissonance and the refusal to see, hear, listen, and understand the truth will be your personal downfall. Be awoken and not “woke”. The AshkeNAZI fake jews occupying Palestine will be evicted and hopefully exterminated in the near future. Time to end the plaga judea.
At the root of most problems around the world you will find a jew. The smell of shekels and potential of power is like catnip to them.
The jews are the “Chosen ones” to be exterminated due to their own actions. Here are some prime examples: search: goyimtv.tv “A-History-Of-Ritual-Blood-Sacrifice—Jewish-Ritual-Murder”.
Please, fight against jews till death somewhere else, go to jewish (.il) pages and do it there, if you have nothing to do, this article is not about jews. Writing a spam makes you a personal with maniacal idea. Ukro-idea, white suprenazism, jew-fighting, sinophobia and russophobia, flat Earth — doesn’t matter, because it’s all insanity.
Maybe this is more on your level of understanding: Search youtube “George Carlin – Religion is bullshit”.
I’m totally sure Iran needs this pre-Vietnam war secret weapon. What you fail to understand is that biggest armament sellers never sell their top noch weapons.
Iran? It’s Egypt you blind retard. I mean Joe Biden and GW Bush mix up Iraq and Iran but Iran and Egypt? Only you braindead moron lol.
It’s a reply to the top coment, little green brain.
$140000 per each TOW?
“Egypt receives about $1.3 billion in military aid from the US each year”
Basically criminals from Washington DC give tax money to their own buddies from the military industrial complex, Boeing in this case. Dictator of Egypt dictator is just an intermediary (plus his own share ofc).
Official source says about 23 helicopters, 56 is number of engines, 46 installed + 10 spares. 100 million per machine! Is it made from gold, why so expensive? Who said “corruption”?
