I replied to your message and moved it to the bottom of that page. Most talk pages are not sorted in such a way that the newest additions are at the top. RunnyAmigatalk 20:47, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

@RunnyAmiga thanks for your quick response, I went over many of the previous edits re:victory, with all respect I think you turned down every logic, many points like "how things really ended on ground versus intended objectives" are actually missing how things really ended; in fact I agree with you that we can't base a "third party judgement" on one side's intended objective so I am not debating this at all, but to your argument "what happened really on ground" is: 1- Compared to land before 6 October 1973; Egypt occupied 2000 Km.sq on east side of the canal versus 1600 km.sq occupied by IDF on the west side of the canal 2- Threatened situation to significant parts of both armies: 2.a. Egyptian third army deprived of supply by the IDF units on west of the canal and 2.b. those very IDF units completely under mercy of Egyptian airforces, you can easily find these facts in Kissinger's recalls of the war. I really think you should review your position otherwise if I am missing any deal breaker point here please let me know. And about intentions and objectives you have all the rights to debate wether Egyptian army's military objectives were achieved but I am equally shocked you entail in your article that Israel saw the opportunity in this war to establish recognition and peace, firstly you are denying Egyptian intentions on one side yet claiming fulfillment of Israeli intentions in a different point, secondly you are ignoring simple facts and things that actually happened; please go and review your resources, you will find that Sadat offered Israel in 1971 peace and recognition versus return of Sinai and they refused,without this 1973 military victory that you deny, nothing would have made Israel change their minds.

Another point.. one of the reasons you mention... "when Egyptians fail militarily they turn to diplomacy," this is completely misjudging history since Egypt was pleading for diplomacy 1970 to 1972 with no response on Israel or US sides. Latifmwiki (talk) 00:13, 23 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
