Hmmmm.... But there are some vital factors we must always take into thought, which are, the concepts of collective will of the populace, and spirituallism-the determinate councel of the powers that be-the cosmic orderliness of events. These two factors are chief-way ahead in any war before weapons and size of armies can come in for consideration. What does this mean? Just take for instance the Isreal vs Arabs gang up in the six day war of 1967, which Isreal decisively won. One may wonder how it was possible for Isreal to so prevail, but that would only be because such is forgetting the Biblical position (for those who believe in God) of God's convenant with Isreal---the promise unto Abraham and Solomon viz the temple building: a typical example of the spiritual orderliness of things. Again, the Principle of determinate will and collectivism of the people was fully in play in the Vietnam vs American war, in which the far more inferior Vietnamese overwhelmingly beat the all powerful USA right, left and centre, not minding the USA busy killing off innocent villagers-women and children. The same was seen in the Afghan vs Soviet war, wherein a bunch of riff-raffs Afghan soldiers stood firmed and shamed the Almighty Soviets. Not forgeting Serbia, which single handedly stood up against the US-led NATO empire war machine for whole 77days, though it finally succumb to the enemy. Nevertheless, collectivism was there, visible and standing tall. But the same can not be said of Iraq vs USA/NATO where top Iraqis Generals were bribed not to fight back. The same also goes for Libya, Afghanistan, places where the government as at that time doesn't enjoy the full backing of the people. But it is the opposite in Ukraine where the Eastern seperatists (though covertly aided by Russia) are standing tall, and have twice defeated the Ukrainian army which do not enjoy most of the support of its own people in the ongoing war, unlike the seperatists, despite not having air power which the Ukrainians have at their disposal. No doubt that weapons, size and capabilities of a nation do plays important role in a war, especially one of a larger scale, but its main determinants are the two concepts as described above. Just take World War1 into consideration. Why did the war ended in the 11th month, on the 11th day, and at the 11th Hour? It is simple: THE COSMIC ORDERLINESS OF THINGS! Thus, we can say that if these two factors stand for you or against you, it would not matter the nature of your size, weapons or capability, depending if they are for you or against you! 3 Likes |
