In a recent statement via his official X account, former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to ongoing global military tensions by highlighting the difficulty of invading a large and populous nation, suggesting that such ambitions may be unrealistic.
”When 15k troops want to invade a nation of 90 million people covering 1,648,195 square kilometers,you can only pray for them,” he wrote.
In his post, Sani stated that when a force of about 15,000 troops plans to invade a country with a population of around 90 million people, the situation raises serious doubts about the feasibility of such an operation.
He pointed out that the country in question spans a vast landmass of over 1.6 million square kilometres, making any military invasion even more complex and challenging.
He suggested that the scale of the population and the size of the territory make it extremely difficult for a relatively small number of troops to achieve meaningful control or success in such a mission.
He implied that such a plan reflects either overconfidence or a misunderstanding of the realities of warfare, especially when facing a large nation with significant human and geographic resources.
He maintained that in such a situation, the only realistic response is to hope for the outcome rather than expect a clear or easy victory.
He suggested that the scenario highlights the limits of military power when faced with overwhelming demographic and geographic factors, reinforcing his view that such an invasion would be highly uncertain and difficult to achieve.
