  1. Khalid you are right on all counts except that Egypt is particularly vulnerable, regardless of it’s army. The Aswan Dam holds five years’ supply of water. Which,, if bombed, would flood the Nile valley and most of the country’s infrastructure, completely submerging the major cities. Egypt does not have the air defenses to counter hostile aircraft. See why US bases are in the dunes away from that path? Mighrt also explain why they play along.

  4. Is there conformation on the ground of the downed aircraft? Crew killed or captured? F16 or F35?

    I presume this was diversionary, Bibi has some legal issues in Chosenland.
