Document Summary
O not just superpowers who were manipulating: me states, such as egypt, were manipulating the superpowers to get what they. They were willing to supply some states and aid but not as much as the. Me states wanted so alliances would shift i. e. ussr gave egypt enough to pride them out on national armies but not as strong as they could be. Us was cautious in the amount of aid it gave especially in arms, in. The us had particular interests in the region and was trying to stay particular during the 50s and 60s neutral with specific actors. But both the ussr and us wanted to avoid an arms race in the region: tail wagging the dog phenomenon for example, instead of ussr driving. Egypt, its actually egypt driving the ussr: cold war was not static with its alliances. The middle east & the cold war: who"s manipulating who? want, in general.
