I'm thinking something involving a lot of heat (the temperature type of heat; not the type associated with the feelings that a typical sand goblin feels toward a camel).
It wouldn't surprise me if, before this business is over, nukes have been used.
And, if they are, it'll finally lay to rest the post-WW2 communist inspired myth that these weapons are genies possessed of some preternatural power that can never be allowed out of the bottle.
There have been any number of conflicts which could have been ended, with far fewer casualties in the long run, by the judicious use of a nuclear weapon early in the struggle.
It's time we gave the third worlders a choice... Live well (as we define it) or die badly.
After a few choose poorly those remaining will do better.
