Not very long to be significant. Algeria could probably keep going for a while longer since it has the larger economy and more overall stable economic liquidity (from its energy industry)....but I doubt it will be enough to make any headway into Morocco core areas. It will be punitive limited...

If the PRC/CCP truly believed that, they would have simply had one of their state banks open a bank account with Carrie Lam when she came under US sanction. Instead she had to be paid with briefcases of cash in a most humiliating way. Same thing happening again w.r.t Russia right now.....what...

Typical 50 cent spammers copy paste one liner and graphics without actually reading the underlying reports (and analysis/discussion) they are from...including their actual applicability. This is why you get dissonance between what they spam post and what their own Premier Li Keqiang said about...

Simply put, Morocco main cities/population is concentrated (to coastline mostly) compared to its total landmass....compared to Ukraine. This also is the feature for Algeria too (and extends into libya, egypt etc as well). Putting a critical node of something further away from...

Both are equally potentially dangerous. The high water mark of danger is the male elephant in "musth" as there are huge amount of hormones pumping in such a large animal (testosterone can be 60 times higher than normal....and we are talking about a multi-ton animal). The word musth...

In my case, 65 always had equal prominence w.r.t 71 in my formative years (my dad was the near singular bridge to most of this, so thats pretty different to popular media in India I suppose, something I am in large part removed from still). In fact it was nearly a continuous story arc of...

Was it really this number? 3000? Reports in late april (about 2 months later) state about 1300 launches or so till that point....so definitely in initial phase it was not this number then. The issue with Ukraine is its very different context. It has a very large array of nodes (for its...

Agree with you on most points here. Yup I forgot about the MTCR control to <300 km range. Looking at map, this puts most of Morocco's western seaboard and critical nodes out of reach of Algeria (from initial starting points).

This new star wars stuff, constantly tries to provide filler bridge material and it ruins parts of the canon IMO. Vader is very specific (in a New Hope) in saying "I've been waiting for you Obi Wan.....We meet again at last, the circle is NOW complete, when I left you I was but the learner, now...

Nice picture captured: @Ryder @crixus et al.

Azerbaijan was in very close proximity to Armenia range wise, so there was little benefit to iskandar compared to say regular rocket artillery. It ended up being more nominal deterrence value at most....and Azerbaijan called it out (especially given the specific tactics Azerbaijan developed in...

Never underestimate how little neo-marxists actually trust in people (they purport to support) to discuss, debate and vote upon things. They deeply hate: - the legislative process - clear definition of branches of govts in the republic's founding and why this is important to preserve -...

Countries should never fight each other....period. Muslim or not is irrelevant on this (what about a, b , c other identities?) There is basic human identity and existence we all share and we all know what life and death is in the end....what basic good and bad are.... War is antithesis of this...

As good as F-16s are and lot of other gear Morocco has....... ...... how does morocco make them survivable past an iskander strike on the (few + known) airbases (and naval bases for ships) that hold them? The opening moves of the wargaming overall favour Algeria heavily IMO....till Morocco...

yeah same here..... though for highway driving truckers are most clear on it since they are more visible over the medians we have here.

Still we would need to know what are the Moroccan AD like around its harbours as this is where crucial ships can be sitting ducks often....and smaller/medium force countries often dont have these assets hedged in multiple bases/harbours etc. Same to model how Moroccan airbases fare against...

Yes certainly. Look at the reserves versus production ratio for all these countries listed in the table. Very low.... as nuclear energy demands quite a low profile of what Earth has in raw uranium ore spread around. Can subtract kazakhstan, uzbekistan alongside Russia and add these numbers to...

Apparently Algeria has iskander ballistic missiles (I didn't know this, just googled). So yeah right now thats a pretty serious advantage over morocco.

What time frame are we talking about here? Right now or down the road X years later? Looking at critical weapons tier (and working way downwards)....neither side has ballistic missiles, but Algeria has some cruise missiles. i.e Algeria holds a serious first strike advantage on opponents...
