I think I can finally relate. I just had a Civilisation VI game last night where I was trying to win by the domination method (I'm still pretty tame, waiting for a casus belli to start a war), but suddenly three civs got way ahead in culture, science and military, so if I still wanted to win by dominating, I had no other choice but to just surprise buttfuck all three at the same time. The aztecs had been working on the space race already.
...so yeah, I guess Israel just realised that they need to chop chop before Iran builds the Mars base.
(obvious /s, it's disgusting how such aggressors can just get away like that)
I used to play Civ III a lot and one of my favorite strategies was to borrow a bunch of money from a neighbor and then attack and destroy him, which would of course wipe away the debt with the only consequence being that everybody else hated you. It was amusing to learn that this was actually Hitler's strategy with his invasion of the Soviet Union (minus the "destroy him" part, of course). Part of the nonaggression treaties between Germany and the USSR was actually a massive loan to Hitler, adding to the debt that Hitler had already racked up to achieve his "economic miracle".
Wow, you have yet another thing in common : ). Jokes aside, it's crazy how many things games can teach you about.
