🇪🇬⚽️🇹🇷 Football diplomacy brought Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan together in Doha for the opening of the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

Years of tension between the two were broken with a friendly handshake 🤝

The big differences between the two large countries centered on Erdogan's support of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization banned in Egypt, Syria, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, but not banned in America.

🥴🇪🇺 It’s probably far-fetched and overzealous to think about doing away with the EU altogether.

But ditching the parliament might be a good idea 🤭

Here we go again. Another graft scandal in Brussels. Another EU boss caught with her fingers in the till. And the usual lame copy from euro hacks based in the Belgian capital, some of whom even believe they are journalists. But the arrest of a Greek socialist MEP, suspected of fraud, breaks a few records even for the most ineffective assembly in the world.

🕌 The Middle East has long suffered from Western intervention and U.S.-led regime change adventures, such as in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Syria.

The result has been catastrophic and left those countries devastated, most notably in Iraq, which has never recovered from the U.S. invasion and occupation. Syria needs billions, and perhaps decades to recover 🇸🇾

The Arab League is just a meeting place to be used as networking tool bringing those with money to help Syria together, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Syria’s economy has collapsed and needs cash influx to rebuild infrastructure damaged and ruined from years of fighting against armed terrorists supported by the U.S. and its allies.

The Obama-Biden regime change project in Syria depended on massive participation of Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Emirates. Once the Crown Prince came into a leadership position in the Kingdom, he changed course and withdrew funding of terrorists following Radical Islam, a political ideology.

U.S.-EU sanctions on Syria are an obstacle to helping Syria to rebuild and end the suffering of the people, including bringing home refugees from abroad. The UAE and Saudi Arabia hope to work toward lifting or easing the sanctions in order to help the Syrian people recover.

The Crown Prince is an independent leader and making decisions in the best interest of his country, which is not always aligned with U.S. directives from the Oval Office. He has taken several steps to let Washington know that the Kingdom comes first, writes Steven Sahiounie.
