I don’t think people in the Middle East really “get” this. We used to bitch that the Rooskies had more nukes than we did. Well, the truth was, you take out 20 cities in the USSR and the country would be effectively no longer exist. It really would take much more to knock out the US.
You take out 10 cities in the ME, that’s basically it for 6,000 years of Arabic civilization.
Agreed.
Arabic civilization is an oxymoron....
