It has started.  It was over the past 3 months beginning to gravitate in that direction.  Possible misunderstanding and misinterpretation of what the United States was doing, in the U.S. being diplomatic, cooperating with other nations, gestures of mercy and compassion, the possible misunderstandings and misinterpretations in the form of questions being asked and framed.  The old saying, 'do not mistake our kindness for weakness', might be readily applicable here.

The U.S. has stepped up to make certain that the lives of innocent, such as in places like Syria, and Egypt, and currently, although not technically considered the 'Middle East', to the assistance of the Philippines in the aftermath of a devastating typhoon destruction.  The Pentagon has recently released, that not every iota of strategy insofar cooperation and making progress involves a show of military might.  That the fact upon us, the U.S. in dealing with the situations in Syria, and Egypt, and other locations undergoing intense strife, has performed with degrees of wisdom, illustrating appropriate amounts of give-and-take in the cooperation efforts that involve other nations.

News headline of the following, from <http://www.euronews.com/2013/11/14/is-russia-taking-over-the-us-role-in-the-middle-east/> has presented itself, the entirety a transcript of a translation of the conversation that was originally in Arabic, with excerpts from it:
Is Russia taking over the US role in the Middle East?
14/11 15:45 CET

Thursday’s visit by Russian officials to Egypt has triggered talk of a new era of defence [defense] cooperation between Moscow and Cairo.

To shed more light on the visit, our correspondent in the Egyptian capital, Mohammed Shaikhibrahim, talked to political analyst Samir Ghattas.

Mohammed Shaikhibrahim, euronews: “What is the significance of this visit to Egypt, involving both military and diplomatic officials from Moscow, at this particular time?”

Samir Ghattas: “The policies of the United States have caused serious unease and confusion in the Middle East and in Egypt in particular, especially after the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood regime. That led to new policies from the US towards Egypt like pressure on the army and reducing economic and military aid after a while.

“As a result, Egypt has sought out new relations or to be more precise, revived its old relations with different regions of the world, especially with the Russian Federation and maybe later with China, India and other rising powers.

“I suspect that there is also a need to develop economic relations between the two countries, given that Russia is a big exporter of wheat, which Egypt desperately needs.”

euronews: “Why is this new situation,..., not being considered as Moscow taking Washington’s place?”

Samir Ghattas: “I don’t think it could go as far as sharing functional, divisional roles because Moscow and Washington have totally different interests in the Middle East. The United States won’t allow Russia to establish itself again in this region. But if Russia, which already has a strong presence in Syria and close relations with Iran, nurtures its ability to invest in relations with Egypt, well perhaps that could lead to a new era between Moscow and the Middle East.”

YouTube video, that concluded with traditional 'thank you' in Arabic by the interviewer, URL that the transcript was of: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB4anaoPqZw>

Evident from reading the article, Dr. Samir Ghattas did not state word for word, of the comments on that webpage, that Russia 'is taking over the role of the U.S.'  The interviewer asks the reverse question of, "Why is this new situation,..., not being considered as Moscow taking Washington’s place?”  However, the article title is indicative that, that the question is being asked, ipso facto, "Is Russia taking over the US role in the Middle East?".  Additionally there lies the possibility that the trend could catch on, unless precluded.

Dr. Ghattas did say, that “the policies of the United States have caused serious unease and confusion in the Middle East..."  That comment gives rise to some concern, especially considering that since the U.S. has held diplomatic gestures in the region in recent months, the number of fatalities in the region has significantly dropped.

Is Egypt wholly seeking or 'has sought out new relations or to be more precise, revived its old relations with different regions of the world..', as a result of "pressure on the army and reducing economic and military aid"?

Reports are that on the 3rd of November, Putin signed a law which has in what it consists of, that the deeds of perpetrators of terrorism will also be administered to by means of payment from the families and associates of the terrorists.

Story on Serbia Respective EU, Excerpt
Serbia, Croatia join forces in military projects

29/10/2013

Co-operation between the Serbian and Croatian armies can help the countries to overcome past relations and create better stability in the Balkans, according to the two defence ministries, and will be important for Serbia's EU accession bid.

Maja Bobić, general secretary of the European Movement in Serbia, said closer co-operation between the two armies could help Serbia on its EU path.

"The EU appreciates efforts in solving all conflicts from the past, and I believe that could be a very important plus in Serbia's EU integration process," Bobić told SETimes.

The Serbian and Croatian armies participated in 15 joint activities this year. The framework of the joint actions falls under the 2010 agreement on defence co-operation between the two governments.

Events this past summer of 2013, such as marches, political parties described as associated with communism
Here are a few in the news, whether the crystallized intentions actually going on in there are fully or partially communist or not, here is what online news stories are describing as communist parties:
PSTU / PSTU-LIT
PSTU is reported to be equivocated with United Socialist Workers Party-International Workers’ League
PCdoB /[ostensiblyone in the same with] PSOL  is reported to be equivocated with ex-Maoist Communist Party of Brazil, or even "...Partido do socialismo"


There might be other events, this is given here as a roundup off the obvious at the forefront of news images.
Whether the events mentioned in the preceding paragraphs on this story post, insofar the baseline matter which allowed them to come about, warrants to be at the forefront is another matter.

Why is futile an issue?  These days and times, it has been made clear and manifest on a unanimous level, especially by scholars at high levels, philosophies of communism have many pitfalls, gray areas which elicit evils, an so forth.  Most of the world today, is not led by governments of communism.

The thrust of the news story:

There cannot be a loss in/of focus for making sure budget solutions are met in time, subsequent the recent October 2013 gridlock situation.  Effective, successful, viable solutions, have to be attained before deadlines.
Events like the recent Los Angeles Airport attack this past weekend, cannot be allowed to distract an effort that many are needed to work on.

In some cases, an overexertion of focus is not necessary, as the wheel has already been invented.
That axiom applicable or not to the following matter, there arises that there are some that might perceive that there is a dilemma concerning the leadership of Egypt.  There are aspects of Egypt leadership and history that there are no dilemmas, as the knowledge will show, what has been done is done, and already manifest.
Loosely described here, and without going into detail, especially respective to that Egyptian historians and leaders know themselves at high level:
Currently, Egypt has Morsi under some kind of removal and arrest status; and some kind of interim arrangement has been set in place.  Strategies to prevent further outbreaks of violence, intensity of violence which at times warrants international attention, as world leaders must show they have degrees of being the caretakers of their neighbors, are reported to be in process.
Kerry is interfacing with Egypt as we speak.
Strategies in Egypt whereupon transitions in Egypt government, is nothing new. It almost appears that in some ways, history is repeating itself.  President Nasser is described by many historians as placing the previous leader viz President Naguib under some kind of arrest.  And, Nasser is described as representing two political parties, wherein his span of leadership as President, he abolished one of the parties.  The referent is 1962, when after the breakup of the UAR, the National Union was considered obsolete, and there-forward, was the new Party.  For those that know the history, the timeline continues, and an interim leader was set, reference Sufi Abu Taleb, after the departing of Nasser, this is what occurred before Sadat stated as President.
