Russya's Dilemma in Sinai

      So, Mr. Putin decided to cancel airline flights to southern Egypt.  Quite a few Russyan tourists are now stranded there, after one of the tourist flights crashed in the Sinai desert killing all on board last week.  Quite a few British tourists are also stranded, but the Brits' PM, David Cameron, is going about the business of bringing them home(sans luggage).
      Mr. Putin has investigators on the scene, along with Egyptian and British teams who were accompanied by UN investigators.   The black boxes have been recovered; sounds of an explosion have been recorded.   No definitive cause has been identified.
      Welcome to the Middle East, Mr. Putin.   This incursion has come at a higher price than Mr. Putin has been asked to pay in Ukraine or Crimea.  He wants to raise awareness of Russya's international profile.  "Mission Accomplished", Vova.  Now all Russyans know about your new 'higher' profile".  Hmmmm?  How about the grieving families in St. Petersburg, where the tourists lost were from?  How do their families feel about your 'higher' profile?
     45,000 Russyan tourists need a ride home.  Maybe they can join the hoards fleeing your efforts in Syria to help your client, Mr Al-Assad?   Perhaps they can pay a smuggler for a ride on a donkey to Sevastopol in Crimea, then home to St. Petersburg?  Or a canoe ride across the Bosporus to Turkey, then a bus to Moscova, then a cab to St. Petersburg?   Maybe then they would be home to paradise on the Baltic.
      Has the FSB given their preliminary report to the Kremlin?  Or are they overwhelmed?  Call the FBI, they have all the information you will need to make your "informed" decision".
     Welcome to the Middle East, Vova.
