also worth pointing out that *three* of these "wars" all lasted less than 3 weeks. only the first one is an actual war that lasted longer than 6 months.
>During a summit in Cairo on 6 November, Kissinger asked Sadat what King Faisal was like and was told: "Well, Dr. Henry, he will probably go on with you about Communism and the Jews".[51] King Faisal's two great hatreds were Communism and Zionism as he believed that the Soviet Union and Israel were plotting together against Islam.[52] was he wrong?
@awl >Faisal told Kissinger: "The United States used to stand up to aggression-you did that in World War Two and in 1956 during the Suez War. If the United States had done the same after 1967, we would not have witnessed the this deterioration... Before the Jewish State was established, there existed nothing to harm good relations between Arabs and Jews. There were many Jews in Arab countries. When the Jews were persecuted in Spain, Arabs protected them. When the Romans drove the Jews out, Arabs protected them. At Yalta, it was Stalin who said there had to be a Jewish state...Israel is advancing Communist objectives...Among those of the Jewish faith there are those who embrace Zionism...Most of the immigration to Israel is from the Soviet Union...They want to establish a Communist base right in the Middle East...And now, all over the world, the Jews are putting themselves into positions of authority".[54] kek imagine being Kissinger sitting there listening to this shit
>Sadat expected as a reward that the United States would respond by pressuring Israel to return the Sinai to Egypt, but after his anti-Soviet move prompted no response from the United States, by November 1972 Sadat moved again closer to the Soviet Union, buying a massive amount of Soviet arms for a war he planned to launch against Israel in 1973.[30] For Sadat, cost was no object as the money to buy Soviet arms came from Saudi Arabia.[32] they did this and then they shut off oil to the West over its support of Israel. it's impressive that Israel is still standing.
>every Arab nation bands together to fight Israel >they lose anti-semitebros, what happened

augustus pugin ๐dream I had last night: Elon Musk's SpaceX was unleashing some new technology that had the ability to artificially dim stars in the night's sky. I watched as one by one the Pleiades flickered and went out. Then a huge quadrant of the sky started going out like lightbulbs being turned off. This region turned off all stars except for a select number left behind such that the remaining stars made up a detailed picture of someone's face, he looked like Pinhead from Hellraiser, staring down at Earth. they added some dynamic module which could alter the stars near his mouth to simulate animation as if he was talking. loud booming audio was piped in as if this god's head made of stars was speaking specifically to us. I heard the reactions of humanity to this star head deity that most people assumed was God, but I knew was just some reddit fuck's dumb magic trick. The possibility of a new form of government based on this deity opened up to me.
@lain as my good friends Simplicius the Thinker, as well as Brian Berletic of the New Atlas, has repeatedly pointed out, these new weapons are unlikely to have any effect on the course of the battle whatsoever. though I must stress I am not a military man.
