How could the Arab forces have won the 1967 war?
fighting it
Since the end of ww1 no arab nation has ever won a conventional war against a non arab nation.

iran-iraq?
>>1987481
that was a stalemate, Iraq failed to accomplish any of its war goals
>>1987493
Even with western backing, mind you
>>1987493
And in the end the stalemate was slowly unravelling in Iran's favor.
>>1987467
Lebanon - Israel
>>1987563
That doesn't really count because Hezbollah carried the war rather than the government.
>>1987574
Still an arab military entity which defeated (or at least repelled) a non arab country

Iraq had the advantage of not just having a revolution where the military strongly opposed the new government, along with their supplier of military equipment suddenly cutting all access to everything. They had to re-arm and largely re-man most of their military while being invaded.
In short Iraq picked the optimal time to attack but fucked up to the point that even Egyptians thought they were dumb. Something about how the Iraqis were soft from not being neighbors with angry Jews.

Iran;s suffering had little to do with the war and everythign to do with being aligned against the US

Also WOW the side with access to combined arms warfare and tanks killed more than the side which basically relied on infantry alone who would have thought?
You're as pathetic as the wehraboos who still cry about the russian babies born after the soviets occupied berlin
Arabs have a perfect storm of several small issues that add up to them being shit at modern wars.

To win the 1967 war it would've needed to have been a non-arab army.
Why are you nerds actually talking about war instead of just posting MEMRI caps

lolwut
Iraq was left with a badly drained army and a mountain of debt, not to mention the Kurds rebelling 24/7.
They invaded Kuwait because the Gulf States refused to cancel Iraqi debts and were slant drilling Iraqi wells on top of that.

Iraq was in so much debt that they had to invade Kuwait just so their economy wouldn't collapse Venezuela-style.
>and yet they still retained far fewer casualties
Perhaps that had something to do with Iraq having all the chemical and conventional weapons that they could buy?
Back to Yemen with you, diaspora.
