25 year old article thats still relevant: https://americandiplomacy.web.unc.edu/2000/12/why-arabs-lose-wars-fighting-as-you-train-and-the-impact-of-culture-on-arab-military-effectiveness/

TL;DR: Without their retarded culture, arabs would have wiped out Israel 60 years ago already

25 years after this article was written, (1 year before Afghanistan, 3 years before Iraq) zilch has changed.
Why?
When Prussia was beaten by Napoleon they immediately started reforms and soundly defeated him a few years later. Where is the arab/persian Prussia, or rather, why does it not seem to exist?
