“Egypt is reportedly considering a deal to host up to 100,000 Palestinians displaced from the Gaza Strip in exchange for US debt relief.
“Cairo was said to be on the verge of allowing Palestinians entry via the currently shuttered Rafah border crossing in return for the financial aid, Egyptian media reported, citing 21 government and diplomatic sources.
“In return for hosting the Palestinians, Egypt was expected to obtain financial support and debt relief from the US as the north African nation struggles with a severe economic crisis and soaring inflation, the report said.”
Well, they are nothing else than Egyptians without Egyptian passport after all.
And even the Egyptians don’t want them, because Hamas will take over the eastern Sinai and shell Israel from there. Would you?
The only reasonable solution is to force the Hamastanis to swim for it. Any of them who make it to Greece or Italy alive will become the EU’s problem, not Israel’s.
Fortunately for Europeans who have begun to tire of their rulers’ celebrations of cultural diversity, not many are likely to.
Wherever the so called “Palestinians” go they ruin the lives of others. Just ask Lebanese, Jordanians or Kuwaitis. Although Jordan is as much to blame as Egypt for inventing “Palestinians” after they lost another war to Israel (the war that they started) and thus claiming that Israel has since then been occupying “Palestine” as opposed to Israel claiming the lands that Arabs lost after they started the war.
Coincidently the greatest mass murder of the “Palestinians” was committed by Jordanians and Kuwaitis after they had enough. It is the poor Lebanon that is suffering from their presence ever since. Talking to Lebanese about “Palestinians” is enlightening, and shows how enormously patient Israel was with “Palestinians”.
And of course it’s the blood-and-soil Ukrainian who gets all snooty about invented nationalities. Frankly, if my national identity had been stitched together out of Taras Shevchenko’s old underpants, I’d sit this one out.
A quote Kahane’s comment: “In return for hosting the Palestinians, Egypt was expected to obtain financial support and debt relief from the US as the north African nation struggles with a severe economic crisis and soaring inflation, the report said.”
Hmmm… interesting proposal. Egypt will benefit from the debt relief. I’m not so sure that dollars hot off the press are worth all that much.
Well, if it ever does come down to negotiations, I’d say, go for the debt relief and get hard assets in trade goods, particularly razor wire to keep the Palestinians in Sinai. Get a food supply guarantee so you can feed the Palestinians and bargain for some extra to take the edge off the rest of Egyptian citizens affected by the current economic woes.
My 2¢, which will be summarily dismissed as crazy talk
You can be sure. That so called (debt relief) will go on forever.
Six of your moral and intellectual superiors at the BBC have been sacked for openly supporting Hamas on social media.
Just in general, if you want real news from Israel and analysis by people who know what they’re talking about, forget the mainstream media of the Anglophone world. They have nothing to offer but Hamas talking points recycled by hacks half a world away. Go to an Israeli news source like Ynet or Israel Hayom.
But orcs may try again. They’ll send in penal battalions and some poor alcoholic conscripts from central Asia, see where Ukrainians are defending from and after initial meat sturn ends will try focusing on those positions with better troops. They have not tried meat sturms since Wagners in Bakhmut and their defense has proven rather competent lately. But it appears that Shoigu was ordered to achieve some offensive success and the results are apparent. I really hope they keep Shoigu as long as possible, he is a modern day Kliment Voroshilov.
Indeed, a lot of that is mentioned at the link provided. A few paragraphs that stand out are below.
“The question – why Russia launched this offensive in the first place – is justified and I speculate that those are primarily of propagandistic and to a certain extent narcissistic nature. Ever since Wagner’s announcement of taking Bakhmut the Russian Ministry of Defense and in particular Shoigu and Gerassimov have been yearning to present something similar to the Russian people. Avdiivka is at the gates of Donetsk and has always been a painful thorn for Russia in this sector. Taking the city even when it would mean to lose countless of resource – similar to Bakhmut – is sometimes more preferable than a (perceived) stalemate. I believe Avdiivka has been selected for this very reason by them.”
“In an atmosphere like this one might assume that Russia would rather chose to further invest in an effective and “elastic” defense and allocate resource to deny Ukrainians to further advance or just degrade the Russian defense in Zaporizhzhia, something which Russian General Ivan Popov was demanding shortly before he got discharged by the Russian Defense Ministry. Instead, this stunt around Avdiivka gets approved and ends as other Russian offensives ended, in utter disaster. It shows that Putin does not reward competence. He only rewards loyalty.”
“In the end, I assess that the Russian Avdiivka offensive reflects everything what is wrong in Russia’s way to wage war in Ukraine. It is strategically seen a blunder and in the long run will certainly have a negative impact in Russia’s war effort, whether they take or take not Avdiivka. It also shows the absolute difference in how Ukraine wages war. In the first weeks Ukraine’s counteroffensive, AFU tried to storm the Zaporizhzhia front similar to how Russia storms Avdiivka, though at to no time to the same extent and volume as Russia. Ukrainian forces have drawn the right conclusions, stopped it, changed tactics and started to degrade Russia in a way how to degrade an entrenched enemy. This is not a spectacular way, but an effective one. It will bring the desired results when it continues this way and, more importantly, it will be persistent.”
Their defence worked reasonably well in the South and it appears to be the legacy of Surovikin, who has shown himself as a competent general, but was, evidently, judged not to be loyal enough (despite his reputation of being both servile and cruel).
And yes, this is, basically, a schweinie-lovers’ blog. Remember all those “Ruble Deathwatch Continues” posts when the their joke of a currency rebounded from 100+ per USD to 50+? I wonder where are the “deathwatchers” now with the wooden rubble again trading over 100 per USD?
Russia doesn’t give a shit about the USD moron.
Their country is doing fine. It’s the west that’s imploding on debt.
“Their country is doing fine”, o yes, and that’s why 100000+ population fled since the start of the war. Also, if you’re going to call someone else a moron, I suggest you at least invest some time into learning some basic punctuation, shithead.
Russia will soon unleash its T-14 Armata; the mightiest tank in the world.
All of Europe will be overwhelmed by the mighty T-14 Armata.
(Sarc)
That just goes to show how stupid Russia is. The USD as flawed as it is, is *the* currency that all others benchmark to. The world and reality itself care about good money even if Russia doesn’t care to care.
On that note, up to now, Russia’s central bank had done kind of an amazing job-hiked interest rates and resisted capital controls. CC are a short-term debilitating non-solution and along with printing oodles of money, it is the last refuge of failed regimes. That independence is over, the Russian CB has caved to capital controls. They will be pressured into printing the money soon. It’s all over. Spend your Rubles now.
“Russia doesn’t give a shit about the USD moron.
Their country is doing fine. It’s the west that’s imploding on debt.”
Ok dumbo, pay attention, I know they don’t teach economics in pisslamic schools but even you should realize that it does not matter if russia gives a shit about a dollar or not. The fact that the rubble is dropping relative to the dollar is a reflection of their inflation and the increasingly worthless currency. They have printed a lot of money and this money is increasingly worthless, their inflation rates on necessities is in the 30%+ range (John Hopkins analysis suggests 60% but I am not sure about their methodology). Russian economy is stretched like your grandfather’s track suit when he got to babysit you. And we all know how how this ended up.
As far as credit, russia is looking at the greatest wave of bankruptcies, personal debt in russia is at the record high. It is not uncommon for orcs to have a fourth or fifth loan to pay for the first three. Orcs going to frontlines get preferential credits with interest and payments frozen for the duration of the service. They all take it and few think about what to do with it if they return. In the end russian banking system will not survive what is heading its way. Bookmark this post to throw it in my face a year from now. I dare you.
I am under the impression that Russia suffered/is suffering worse losses in Andriivka are worse than the pile of wrecked Bradleys during the initial fiasco-ish stages of the Robotyne push. Which is remarkable because as well defended as Andriivka is, the Surovikin line is possibly the strongest static defense network outside the Korean DMZ.
“I am under the impression that Russia suffered/is suffering worse losses in Andriivka are worse than the pile of wrecked Bradleys during the initial fiasco-ish stages of the Robotyne push”
Obviously, much worse; it’s actually asserted in the analysis I linked to.
Worse by an order of magnitude. When 47th stuck their head in the meatgrinder at Robotyne in three separate attacks they lost about a company and a half worth of vehicles of all kinds from Leos to Brads to MRAPs etc. Recently at Avdiivka (not Andriivka that is a different place) orcs already lost more than two (possibly up to three) battalions worth of equipment. They lost more tanks than Ukrainians lost armored vehicles of all kinds at Robotyne. Orc loses at Avdiivka already eclipse those at Vuhledar by a considerable margin.
Finally among the tanks orcs lost the following types have been identified T-62 of recent mod, T-72 versions other than B3, T-72B3, T-80BVM, T90 (not the M variant). They are scraping from the bottom of the barrel, throwing everything they got. Their ability to conduct large scale maneuver warfare is severally degraded.
Also they are trying to capture Avdiivka for the last nine years (yes!)
“I wonder, how many Russians being sent into the meat grinder are enough for “Fred from BC”?”
Even one is too many, since I am one of the several posters here who have always opposed the deaths of both Ukrainian *and* Russians in this ridiculous war foisted on us to ensure that selected politicians and captains of industry make BILLIONS in profits. Thanks for asking.
But speaking of “meat grinders”, I guess this heralds the official end of the Great Counter-Offensive, huh? Now that the Russians are finished sitting back and allowing the Ukrainians to decimate their own forces against Russian fortifications and minefields for the past few months, they have decided to launch their own attacks and deplete the Ukrainian forces even more. It’s callous, for sure, but Putin knows that if he trades personnel one-for-one (or even two-for-one) with the Ukrainians he STILL wins in the end.
(because that’s how this ‘war of attrition’ thing works, for those of you still too dimwitted to comprehend it: the country with three times the population of their opponent wins every time)
Actually it’s Russian artillery that’s been getting destroyed across southern Ukraine.
“Actually it’s Russian artillery that’s been getting destroyed across southern Ukraine.”
All depends who is telling the story (love all this reporting peppered liberally with “may have”, “possibly”, “as much as”, “reports say”, etc)…and I was talking about human lives lost, not equipment.
Deep thoughts by Freddie from LBC based entirely on wishful thinking.
“I am one of the several posters here who have always opposed the deaths of both Ukrainian *and* Russians”.
Yeah, right. What you really always opposed is Ukrainian resistance and foreign support of Ukraine using you obvious crocodile tears for dead Ukrainians as a smokescreen. I don’t remember a single post of yours where you opposed Russia attacking (feel free to give links). As a matter of fact, you haven’t said a single word against this particular futile and wasteful attack on Avdiivka, in fact you you’re doing your best to justify it with claims like “Putin knows that if he trades personnel one-for-one (or even two-for-one) with the Ukrainians he STILL wins in the end”. In reality it’s more like 5 to 1 and old Poo doesn’t know shit, otherwise he would have waged this war very differently. If you disagree, please find me any justification for their initial assault on Kyiv and Kharkiv, areas they abandoned after losing their best troops and lots of equipment.
“(because that’s how this ‘war of attrition’ thing works, for those of you still too dimwitted to comprehend it: the country with three times the population of their opponent wins every time)”
When someone who makes such claims calls other “simpletons”, it’s an unmistakable case of projection. For starters, how do you define Russian victory?
“The same BBC that won’t call Hamas “terrorists” is happy to call scientists “deniers””
“Just view the BBC as the promotional wing of the Crony-Corporate Deep-State Cartel and it all makes sense”
Our problems reside in three cities, Toronto, Montreal an Vancouver. Lets not forget the last two.
Canada stands for nothing, which means it will accept anything. Wait for the next change in the national anthem. It will become unrecognizable. God will have his say, regardless, and it won’t be good.
Libs under pressure (it wouldn’t take much) from the ndp?
I always read the SDA blog first, and I’m sure readers here do the same. But here’s a good source for the Israel-Hamas war, whereby the info seems to come in quicker and firsthand: https://www.timesofisrael.com/
‘Yellow card stock’. Why not yellow stars and pink triangles?
The first Jew to be denied entry to Israel? https://t.me/iEarlGreyTV/7697
I guess not – someone in the comments points out that it was Meyer Lansky.
The west is readying itself to pounce on Israel with both feet within days of moving into Gaza. It will be an ugly campaign and once the pictures of it are released by Hamus the western press will jump on with a withering assault demanding immediate cease fire. Israel will have a very short window before the world turns on them and Hamus knows it.
This past weekend was the best freedom’s had in years if not decades! The Australian referendum and elections from Poland to New Zealand to Ecuador all came out more or less pro-freedom.
You have no idea about Polish political landscape and you regurgitate headlines. You’re way out of your comfort zone FOAD.
LOL I know it better than you do. I know that Poland was on a path to illiberal welfare statism mixed backwards reactionary weirdness. Now they are off the path to autocracy. Another country off the ‘National Conservatism’ turnip truck.
Like I said, you got no clue beyond headlines. Just regurgitating mainstream German and similar press.
“Just regurgitating mainstream German and similar press.”
Much the same as you regurgitate semen, I’m guessing…
Well no, I am not doing that, I know someone who does though, but we’re not here to talk about your mother…
Regarding the Luton car fire. Why was the vehicle parked in the middle road of the car park and not in one of the parking spaces?
Looks like the car was being driven when the fire started. Someone speculated that the driver tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher but was not successful.
The world is united in it’s support of Israel….Israel is entitled to defend itself – unless it uses force.
The ‘lets support Israel’ meme will crumble like a sand castle once the Gaza border is breached.
I am not even sure that will happen. Bibi is a weak loser sellout who has made an art form of appeasement.

I wonder, how many Russians being sent into the meat grinder are enough for “Fred from BC”?
Yep, I have read it few hours ago. Most here will ignore as it does not fit russia stronk narrative. In most places it ended like this unit here: https://twitter.com/EdwardWeinert/status/1714038698814140431

I guess not – someone in the comments points out that it was Meyer Lansky.
The west is readying itself to pounce on Israel with both feet within days of moving into Gaza. It will be an ugly campaign and once the pictures of it are released by Hamus the western press will jump on with a withering assault demanding immediate cease fire. Israel will have a very short window before the world turns on them and Hamus knows it.
This past weekend was the best freedom’s had in years if not decades! The Australian referendum and elections from Poland to New Zealand to Ecuador all came out more or less pro-freedom.
You have no idea about Polish political landscape and you regurgitate headlines. You’re way out of your comfort zone FOAD.
LOL I know it better than you do. I know that Poland was on a path to illiberal welfare statism mixed backwards reactionary weirdness. Now they are off the path to autocracy. Another country off the ‘National Conservatism’ turnip truck.
Like I said, you got no clue beyond headlines. Just regurgitating mainstream German and similar press.
“Just regurgitating mainstream German and similar press.”
Much the same as you regurgitate semen, I’m guessing…
Well no, I am not doing that, I know someone who does though, but we’re not here to talk about your mother…
One of many examples here. In fact Poland, is one of the freest countries in Europe. They are just no Euro progressive hence demonized. The pro EU forces the will probably form the new government will reverse some of it.

Regarding the Luton car fire. Why was the vehicle parked in the middle road of the car park and not in one of the parking spaces?
Looks like the car was being driven when the fire started. Someone speculated that the driver tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher but was not successful.
The world is united in it’s support of Israel….Israel is entitled to defend itself – unless it uses force.
The ‘lets support Israel’ meme will crumble like a sand castle once the Gaza border is breached.
I am not even sure that will happen. Bibi is a weak loser sellout who has made an art form of appeasement.
