At the Russian military academy, a General gave a lecture on ‘Potential Problems and Military Strategy’.

At the end of the lecture he asked if there are any questions.

An officer stood up and asked: ‘Will there be a third world war? Will Russia take part in it?’

The general answered both questions in the affirmative.

The officer asked: ‘Who will be the enemy?’

The General: ‘All indications point to China.’

All the audience is shocked, the officer asks: ‘General, we are only 150 million, there are 1,200 million Chinese. Can we win at all?’

The General: ‘Just think about this. In modern warfare, it is not the quantity that matters but the quality.

For example in the Middle East we have had a few wars recently where 5 million Jews fought against 50 million Arabs, and Israel was always victorious.’

After a small pause the officer asked, ‘Do we have enough Jews?’
