Belgrade ran its first joint drill with NATO, then flew straight to Beijing for an "iron friendship" ceremony, while Washington-imposed sanctions on the Russian-owned oil firm finally squeezed Moscow out of NIS and the streets refused to clear.
An Iran war on the eastern horizon, a Sudan war on the southern border, and a brittle Gaza ceasefire all pushed Sisi to convert Egypt's only growth industry, diplomacy, into hard cover for the economy.
