4) Don't bother with Afghanistan, it's just not worth it.

5) if you supply weapons to anyone other than that country’s armed forces, don’t expect it to go well in the long run

The three rules of war:
1) Never go to war without the Americans on your side
2) Never go to war with the Italians on your side
3) Never march on Moscow

With regards to rule 3, probably best if they stick to causing mayhem around the border area.

No3 third time lucky??

Crimean Tartars as well (Ukraine), burned the whole city but the Kremlin. So eight time lucky, wasn't thinking Napoleon, didn't think he'd gotten that far tbh.
