Vicious tables

Political relations between countries, political blocs or political rivals are used by many of them to make their own gains, and at the same time, delude the public that they are antagonists. Listening to them, one could almost swear that they are enemies and on different sides while they are not in reality. Such relations greatly resemble what we used to watch in old Egyptian movies, when, for instance, a scene showed Egyptian movie stars Soad Hosni and Roshdi Abaza sitting at a table with a vase on it and it seems like nothing suspicious is going on between them.

However, when cameras go below that elegant table, we sometimes saw them barefooted and touching each other’s toes without anybody else noticing them. Well, so many countries that may appear to be quarrelling use similar tables to cover up what is going on amongst them underneath. This has been so often proved by Western policies that claim to be against terrorism in Arab territories, while they in fact go along very well with those whom they had created and claim to be fighting, simply because we cannot see what is going on between them underneath such vicious tables.

How come, then, could Russian troops destroy 29 IS training camps only a few days after joining the international coalition? How did Russian fighters locate those camps while the coalition ones, including the Americans, failed to do so? Long live witty minds that can differentiate between what goes on above and what goes on beneath tables and down with any vicious tables anywhere!
