In the XIX or XVIII century they'd just made a little genocide, emptying the land from any living form capable of holding a gun or sword, and that would have been it all.
Before starting military campaigns, some politicians should be reminded that the rules have changed a lot from some centuries ago, and that you no longer have the "easy solutions" at hand. |
