Sources told Egypt Independent that Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an extraordinary session at the Russian Kremlin to discuss the situation in Egypt and take the necessary steps to put the Russian military facilities "at the Egyptian military's disposal". Putin will discuss Russian arrangements for joint-military exercises with the Egyptian army according to source.
These developments come after US President Barak Obama's announcement that the U.S. is calling off joint military exercises with Egypt and threatening with further steps.

The Canadian government called the attacks on places of worship "unacceptable," following a day of deadly clashes between Egyptian police and supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi.
“We are concerned by recent attacks on religious institutions in Egypt, in particular the unconscionable attacks on Coptic Orthodox and Anglican churches and on Baptist and Franciscan institutions," the statement said

MOSCOW, August 1, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Vladimir Putin has urged the world’s political leaders to stop the violent persecutions against Christians that have erupted in many Middle Eastern countries.

Speaking at a meeting with Orthodox Christian leaders in Moscow last week, the Russian President said he noted “with alarm” that “in many of the world’s regions, especially in the Middle East and in North Africa inter-confessional tensions are mounting, and the rights of religious minorities are infringed, including Christians and Orthodox Christians.”

“This pressing problem should be a subject of close attention for the entire international community,” Putin said. “It is especially important today to make efforts to prevent intercultural and interreligious conflicts, which are fraught with the most serious upheavals.”
The State Department said Saturday's attacks bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida's Iraqi (AQI) branch. It reiterated that it was offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the killing or capture of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the AQI leader.

Egypt's ‘bloodbath that is not a bloodbath’ has shown that the forces of hardcore suppression and corruption reign supreme, while foreign interests - the House of Saud, Israel and the Pentagon - support the military's merciless strategy.
That pathetic excuse for a diplomat, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, at least was blunt: “Egypt is an important partner for NATO through the Mediterranean Dialogue.” Translation: the only thing we really care about is that those Arabs do as we say.

There is a phrase for it but it is against the rules to post it.

I really do hope Russia does stand up soon to the Muslim American President, he is so on side of terror groups, yet most people in Egypt hated being under Muslim Brother rule, but Obama wants the Brotherhood in all Middle East and UK I hear too.
I think Russia must soon give America a bloody nose and over the Middle East they can.
Well done Russia, lets kick those Yanks in the White House into touch, and do it today.

Didn't the US just cancel their military exercises with Egypt recently?
I wonder if the Russians are trying to fill that void?

Dunno, I've heard nothing about any Egyptian military casualties. Only Morsi supporters and police. Gotta wonder who's side the police are on.

Point taken but this isn't exactly what I meant. I meant the intent, the alleged cause we are supposed to believe are pitted against each other, but in reality are BEING pitted against each other because there IS no cause, just a need to get people fighting and eliminate them.
I'm talking about the top powers of the world and this suspicion that they are just playing a fun game of chess with each other... at the expense of the people.
No, I'd rather LITERALLY see someone like Putin actually go punch a US official in the face.
It would make me a little more certain about the changes we are seeing right now, because PLENTY of stuff is happening, but there's all this blocked information and tip toeing around the game so as not to spoil it. I'm tired of the game of lies and trying to be nicey nice and self righteous in the media among our lying politicians. I want to see some real resolve coming out of someone in high places. The people despair without a glimmer of hope from up top. If the top is just playing games with us, we are just in a rats maze... fighting for nothing... because we can't bring ourselves, even our top military who know their government is lying, to unite and be cohesive enough to take their power from them.

I have reason to think the UK & USA have been very anti Christian for the time Obama & Cameron have been in office, every time a Muslim is killed in USA or UK it makes news, our PM goes on TV to tell us how sad he is, yet Vicars, people leaving Christian churches getting stabbed no not a word from Cameron.
Yes I think the elite in UK & USA are trying to thin people down in number, maybe they think if all Muslims kill each other it's less problem when NATO start to get shut of the few left, okay yes it sounds crazy what I'm saying, but it just may be right, food and other things on earth are short, the elite may feel that not enough food will be there for all on earth.
