Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

What role does religion actually play in the capacity for warfare? To suggest that faith is the primary driver of martial courage is to ignore the most striking examples of modern history.

Look at China. They are a secular, largely atheist society, yet their military and economic might is so formidable that few would dare to challenge them. Or consider the Japanese during World War II; while their culture was deeply traditional, their terrifying Kamikaze attacks were driven by a nationalist code of honor (Bushido), not a religious promise of an afterlife.

Furthermore, look at the historical resilience of Vietnam or the militaristic discipline of North Korea. Both are officially atheist states, yet are they any less capable as warriors? Clearly, the 'warrior spirit' exists entirely independent of a god.

The real divide isn't between the 'believer' and the 'infidel'; it is between the civilized and the hardened. History shows that people living in developed 'cities', surrounded by comfort and security, they naturally lose their edge as warriors. In contrast, those living in undeveloped, harsh, and unforgiving environments are forged into fighters by their surroundings, regardless of what they believe.

Those who insist on a religious explanation for military success need to undergo a 'mental recalibration.' They must abandon these comfortable delusions and confront the cold, hard facts of human geography and sociology.

Why you restricted yourself to quoting selective examples of modern history? Maybe your brain is not calibrated to entertain diverse examples across time and space that may weaken your argument.
 
During the last saudi houthi war, there was air superiority for the saudis of course but houthis managed to take down some of their jets like tornado or apache and even a moroccan f-16 ( it participated in the war).
And a Eurofighter and a F15... And no less than 10 AH64.
 
If Iran knocks out UAE for good that's will be a big favor for Egypt . UAE has been playing too much against Egypt whether it's in Sudan or the Ethiopian dam or even in Libya.

Ideally, Saudi Arabia should gobble up UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. Let there be only five countries in north Arabian Sea: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Iraq and Pakistan. That's the solution to the 'Too many cooks in a kitchen' problem.
 
Trump won't wait 48 hours.

He always lies.

Expect a massive attack as early as tonight.

Yemen needs to close Bab al Mendab ASAP.
Better to target only the ships of those countries who are actively involved in targeting Iran or Yemen….
