Russian War College
At the Russian War College, the general is a guest lecturer
and tells the class of officers that the session will focus on
potential problemsand the resulting strategies. One of the
officers in the class begins by asking the first question,
"Will we have to fight in a World War Three?"
"Yes, comrades, in all likelihood, you will," answers
the general.
"And who will be our enemy, Comrade General?" another
officer asks.
"The likelihood is that it will be China."
The class looks alarmed, and finally one officer asks, "But
Comrade General, we are 150 million people and they are about 1.5
billion. How can we possibly win?" "Well," replies
the general, "think about it. In modern war, it is not the
quantity, but the quality that is key. For example, in the Middle
East, 5 million Jews fight against 50 million Arabs, and the Jews
have been the winners every time."
"But sir, " asks the panicky officers, "Do we have
enough Jews?
