otherwise – in the states submitting to this global order. According to them, they doubt that

This group says to the
remainder of the people of religion and the masses: “O people! The viciousness of the
Russian soldier is double that of the American (soldier). If the number of Americans killed
is one tenth of the number of Russians killed in Afghanistan and Chechnya, they will flee,
heedless of all else. That is because the current structure of the American and Western
military is not the same as the structure of their military in the era of colonialism. They
reached a stage of effeminacy which made them unable to sustain battles for a long period of
time and they compensate for this with a deceptive media halo. O people! The center in the
Soviet Union was, to a certain extent, close to the countries in which there was opposition to
it. They even shared borders with areas that opposed it, so supplies, motorized units, and
armored vehicles used to pour in with ease and without much cost. The matter is different
with regard to America—the remoteness of the primary center from the peripheries should
help the Americans understand the difficulty of our continued submission to them, their
control over us, and their pillaging of our resources if we decide to refuse; but only if we
refuse and enflame opposition to its materialization.”
