I remember when I was in high school some exchange student from Israel was asking me who would win in a hypothetical war between Israel and the USA...

I was so flabbergasted that I was reluctant to answer at first since I personally had nothing against Israel at the time (not being wise to the JQ back then.)

Finally I told him Israel may have a good regional military but they're not a global power. The USA would just bomb their critical infrastructure with stealth bombers and blockade their ports until the economy was totally ruined. I personally found the whole conversation so distasteful that I ended it shortly after that. Knowing what I know now, the absolute hubris of this guy still amazes me.
