Did I just spent a whole 15 mins on these two pages? Damn right I did. Jeez. What the hell man. I grew up being taught that you outta use the “fancy” words, which I absolutely hate. But I hustled cuz it’s a must. And now you’re telling me to use the term “ease” instead of “facilitate”? Like I can do that?? Where have you been all my life. Noooooooooo 😭🥲☹️

Ok, hold up, ok, I get we don’t outta use fancy word. But “counterforce deterrence” is a type of deterrence. There are various type of deterrences, it’s not a clutter. Unless, he meant the whole term is a clutter for that context? Well, if it’s that then it works. But if the “counterforce” is clutter then hmmm, I’m not with that.

I know it’s just 7 pages, but if this is what cont. on throughout the book then this book could easily be one of the best books I have ever read in this stupid life (of 25 years).

Searched on website “the five book” (as usual) looking for what to read about Iran (since I couldn’t do so on Saudi Arabia) and this book shows up twice! I got this book with me real random, at the price of somewhat 90 cent! I think I’m blessed with books find me randomly from time to time.

Dear lord, all one wants to do is to read some book about Saudi Arabia, it has to be this hard? I guess, in a way, not very surprising but still - 😔😔😔
