Have fun Russia! Its your mess now!
If Russia wanted to engage in yet another open-ended military conflict, this time in Egypt, I suspect that the West would accept this. Let Russia overextend itself, and see what happens.
Wow, I expected more from AH.com then this. You know you're doing something wrong when you're just regurgitating Ukrainian prop-... er, sorry, Ukrainian media articles on Russia's involvement in the M.E. and replacing the word 'Syria' with 'Egypt'.As about reaction of other states, the rfmcdonald is generally correct. The idea of Russia participating in Egyptian conflict is so obviously silly what any enemy/rival of Russia will rejoice.
Proof?The opposition inside the Russian military to any operation on Egyptian soil would be severe.
Have you been living under a rock or something?It is easy to say whom to fight, but Russians will have no significant local group to support them since the revolution of 2011.
For all of its problems, Egypt has the sort of functioning state that Russia lacks.
No real proof. Just personal experience. During last period of my service in Russian military (back in 2006) i actually discussed with several officers the questions like "my reaction if i would be sent to country X". The common opinion about Egyptian military mission was "too risky because cannot rely on locals military". Also, i was a part of Russian military-technical mission to Egypt in 2006 (helping to repair some Egyptian radars). Well, on top political level, the Russian technicians were welcome. On the ground level, the Egyptians (or at least Egyptian Arabs - did not have a much contact with other ethnic groups) were unenthusiastic to say the best. Cooperated because they were ordered to do so.Wow, I expected more from AH.com then this.

Proof?

Interesting. Most Egyptians I have spoken to have had very favorable views of Russia. The vast majority of them were Copts so maybe that had something to do with it.Also, i was a part of Russian military-technical mission to Egypt in 2006 (helping to repair some Egyptian radars).
