Matthew Duss (The Center for International Policy, Un-Diplomatic (podcast)) and Michael Hanna (The Century Foundation)

On Foreign Entanglements, Matt and Michael discuss the Egyptian military’s crackdown, which Michael contends is aimed at dissolving the Muslim Brotherhood. Who is responsible for killing Egyptian security officers in the Sinai? Are neoconservatives turning into realists over Egypt? Should the US suspend aid? Is Egypt still the center of the Arab world? Has the military completely alienated political Islam? Is there any constructive role the US can play in influencing Egyptian politics? And how have these developments affected Iran?
