The bomb explodes when Jack Teixeira (21), a member of the US Air National Guard, posts hundreds of classified US documents on the Discord chat room. The newspapers also contain explosive information about the war in Ukraine. One of them concerns Egypt.
In February, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi (68) promised Vladimir Putin (70) the delivery of 40,000 rockets and artillery ammunition. That reports the Washington Post. The American newspaper quoted from a document from the Pentagon leak. Al-Sisi would have ordered the production and delivery of the missiles to be kept top secret. Even the factory workers were not allowed to know for which country the weapons were produced. Al-Sisi wanted to avoid problems with the West at all costs.
The US is Egypt’s largest donor
There was widespread outrage over the secret deal. Especially in the United States, for which Egypt has always been considered a reliable partner. At more than a billion dollars a year, Egypt is one of the largest recipients of US military aid in the world. In addition, there are arms deals worth an additional $2.5 billion. Good arguments for a 180 degree turn.
As the Washington Post now reports, US officials have convinced the Egyptian field marshal to bring the missiles and ammunition planned for Moscow to Ukraine.
Brazil’s president also recoils
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (77) is also hardly recognizable these days. Over the weekend, Brazil’s president railed against arms shipments from the West to Ukraine. They would only prolong the war. In addition, the left-wing politician wanted to offer himself as a mediator for peace talks, but at the same time had proposed to leave Crimea to Russia unsolicited. Statements that irritated, since Brazil actually wanted to expand its trade relations with the EU and the US. “Lula would parrot Russian and Chinese propaganda without looking at the facts,” said White House spokesman Jon Kirby, 59.
According to media reports, U.S. officials have reached out privately to their Brazilian counterpart, reporting the anger of the Biden administration at Brazil’s non-neutral stance. Lula da Silva crawled back. On Tuesday, his message sounded very different.
At a luncheon with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, 63, Lula said some neutral countries should help broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. Lula da Silva also stressed that he would condemn Russia’s violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
