One Trident submarine's strategic weapon system is more than capable of liquidating all Arab real estate assets in the world within 15 minutes of the CIC's "GO !" order... but the aftermath would be felt globally.... &
it would be rough on the world's population .... maybe fatal.
....like another extinction event - but human this time !
