I want to remind everybody about that time Israel and Syria had the biggest dogfight the world had seen since MiG Alley
And virtually the entire Syrian air force was wiped out because it turns out making MiG-23s engage F-15s is like making a baby fight Mike Tyson

And Syria responded by simply going to the press and proclaiming "Yep we destroyed the whole Israeli Air Force, Israel doesn't have an Air Force anymore, it was pretty easy really, MiG-23s absolutely mog F-15s"

Why the fuck are they like this, what do you even gain out of a lie like that past the 90 seconds it feels good saying it?

France could have simply proclaimed that Hitler didn't make it to Paris and the Maginot Line held.
