If the map is correct, it looks like it could be bypassed by entering through Jordan or Kuwait. I wonder if the designers know about the Maginot Line [0] (extensive and costly fortifications on the Germany / France border, which the Germans simply bypassed by invading through Belgium)?

- csomar 10y agoIn my opinion, it's pretty tough to go through Kuwait. They have had lots of issues with Iraq, so I suspect they have good border measures.
- CapitalistCartr 10y agoThere is no love for ISIS in Jordan after they burned a Jordanian pilot alive on television. Going through Jordan is not likely.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThe question really is, will Jordan border defence be stronger than this wall? Somehow I don't see ISIS shying away from taking the way around if they really want to atack Saudis.
- airesQ 10y agoIt might well be. Jordan's military leadership is surprisingly competent, with lots of forward thinking, preparations and plans for eventualities.
- dopamean 10y agoWhy is that surprising? I'm not particularly well informed on the matters and for some reason thought for years that Jordan was militarily competent.

- vacri 10y agoThe Germans had an industrial powerhouse and a large population with a coherent, relatively united culture behind them, plus a solid dose of air power.
