military strength comes from economic strength. That was lesson number one from the Civil War forward. From WWI WWII and the cold war 80s.

Provide me an example of a broke debtor nation that retained huge military power for any length of time.

Or to simplify it for your pea brain, say all of my neighbors have a 25 auto. but I have my AR, a rack of glocks and a shotgun.

Then say I have the deepest debt of all my neighbors, and I own money to many of them. I even owe serious money to some that dislike me.
To you this is strength? Go pimp for Hillary somewhere else.

In a World War that stays conventional, we will have a good first punch. In a long war of attrition we will lose because our industry will have to be rebuilt at the same time we are fighting, i.e. the CSA 1861 to 1865. The CSA govt. was constantly torn between fighting the war and industrializing an agricultural/service economy. Well they proved you can't do both at the same time.
