Actually, after seeing this interview, US has done a lot .... but it cannot promote that to the Egyptian people ... while seeing all hostilities in US media and blocking top notch military equipment to Egypt .
I personally think it's ok for them to block any equipment to us, especially when we get most of those items for free based on the treaty. It's their prerogative since they're the ones paying for all of it. They're more than entitled to pick a chose what we get and what we don't get for whatever reason they have. I don't think that should be contested.
The problem is telling us we can't go and buy other equipment from others and then sanctioning us. That I have a problem with, but never to someone who gives you free stuff. Either we tell them we don't want any more military aid and we'll buy the things we want from them (which then they can really tell us to go to hell if they want) or stop the aid immediately and move completely to the east or to others and buy their stuff.
That's why I said "it's tough to balance the narrative of frustration without sounding ungrateful at the same time."
