War
---
At the Russian War College a general is a guest lecturer and tells the
Class of officers that the session will focus on potential problems and 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 Sir?"

"Yes comrades it looks like you will" answers the general.

"And who will be our enemyComrade General?" another officer asks.

"The likelihood is that it will be China." The class is surprised 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 the key. For example in the Middle East
5 million Jews have been fighting against 50 million Arabs and the Jews
Have been the winners every time."

"But sir" asks the panicky officer"Do we have enough Jews?"
