Maginot Line anyone?
Something like this may stop one or two locos at the MX border.... but not a force of any size with mobility.
It would be cheaper for the US to put ground sensors in and add towers about 2 miles apart along the southern border with Marine snipers in each tower. A lot cheaper than a solid wall and probably pretty effective.
Also a good “Make work “ program for the saudis.
To quote the great - G.S. Patton, General, US 3rd Army
“Fixed fortifications are a monument to stupidity” But then again, so are most peoples indigenous to the Mideast.
Obummer building massive wall along border to keep illegal aliens in.
ther fixed it
The infantilism, or polymorphous perversity, of the elite class is on broad display in our culture. Borders may or may not be economic but they most certainly are nationalist, separating one nation from another.
The One Worlders want no borders. They claim to want a classless society but they lie. They want to be in their own elitist class with everyone else under their control. Their vision leads to tyranny of which the various manifestations of communism are obvious examples.
In their world a criminal cabal controls the masses with absolute power. Western culture broke that system down with the Magna Carta. And here it is again, more evil than ever.
Burn the ivory towers.
There is a growing problem with Saudi girls fleeing home and hearth for the great unknown. The sources I read gave estimates of 1,500 - 3,000 per year and attributed it to foreigners luring them with promises of lewd perverted acts...
A fence needs to be built around SA to keep whabbism in.
I wonder who the Saudis will hire to man this border security operation? To man the towers, installations, patrols and reaction forces would IMHO require at least 3,000 trained personnel.
And just remember, KSA is lucky enough to have an extensive border with Yemen as well as well as Iraq. Lovely neighborhood.
I was hanging out at a race with a buddy who is a retired Armor officer some years ago, and asked how he got the misc scars / burns on his forearms. Nothing too horrible, but it couldn’t have been fun at the time.
He was an adviser to the KSA’s King Fahd Armored Brigade, and he was on the border with Yemen at a time they were having border incidents. His vehicle took a round from a Yemeni T-55 and he lived to tell about it. Other vehicles from the King Fahd took out the T-55, it didn’t get a second shot off.
I’ve never traveled to the Middle East, but many images I’ve seen and descriptions of generations growing up in Muslim societies appear to illustrate that individual residences lie behind high concrete walls and fences. Perhaps in some cases this is by design to limit the damage of sand storms. It does however, give the impression of encasing ones property from prying eyes in a culture which covets possessions of non-believers.
And Israel. Don't forget about their fence that has been very successful in keeping the riff raff out.
