Yep, they can stand on their own two feet without us propping them up. Shoot, they improved the avionics in the aircraft we sold them a significant amount.. of course, they were then reluctant to share the new stuff with us until threatened with a cut-off of aid.
I figure if the US withdraws from the entire situation politically and with respect to aid to both crazy sides, it'll simply deteriorate into a Balkan-like slaughterfest.
If the world-renowned fighters of the Arab League then take action... and somehow manage to get the upper hand... then we'll see the first use of nukes since WW2.
It's a great place and a great situation, isn't it?
