>>511172044 (OP)26 years later, and this is the still best article on why Arabs can't fight for shit. No one has been able to make any meaningful retort to it other than "dat's racist"

Leonid Brezhnev also gave one of the best summaries of Arab military and political incompetence in the aftermath of the Yom Kilpur War:
>We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War#Response_in_the_Soviet_Union
