this seems to suggest the plausible hypothesis that the united states is selling egypt to saudi arabia. to speak crudely.

is that 'decolonization'? well, 'decolonization' was always somewhat of a misleading term. 'consolidation' maybe captures what actually happened better.

it fits the narrative of obama fulfilling the ww1 era promise of helping construct a united arab state, anyways. which is what al qaeda was really all about. i think there's a lot of truth to that narrative.
