Egyptian soldiers killed in armed attack in Sinai: Army

As Sisi continues to violate human rights throughout Egypt, including his brutal campaign against militants in the Sinai, it's important to remember how he came to power. Ultimately, Sisi is a US and Israeli stooge whose primary job is to repress democracy in Egypt and maintain Western geopolitical interests in the region. The only way to save Egypt and stop the horrors is to end support for Sisi and the Egyptian military.
Though it would be great if the US got to pick global leaders — something it is often accused of — the reality is that the US has to work with what it's got. In Egypt, though Sisi is likely a tyrant, he has kept the country stable, especially in the face of the post-2011 chaos brought on by the Muslim Brotherhood. To preserve regional stability, the US will have to grit its teeth and deal with an authoritarian in the Egyptian presidency.
