If Algeria and Egypt enter in all out war, which country would destroy the other?
does anyone have facts regarding military capabilities of the two nations, cuz in recent days there is tension between the two countries, flags burnt, Egyptian fans attacked by Algerian thugs. The two countries are reaching a head collision that might not result in militarily conflict in the short term but on the long run maybe? does anyone know the answer? thanx

On a recent ranking of military power (i found this online so i don’t know how reputable it is) Egypt’s army ranked as the 17th best in the world while Algeria wasn’t in the top 40. . .so I’d say Egypt. I’m not sure exactly what Algeria’s stats are, but the following is a list of Egypts stats:

As a result of this I would guess that the war would be won by Egypt unless somekind of alliances through the current distribution of power out of wack. . .I’d bet money that the winner between a war between only Egypt and Algeria would be AMERICA.
