Nyquist is saying that with economic collapse we could not afford to keep up our military any more. Actually if we had a competent dictator in place- like FDR in his time- and a formal Declaration of War(suspension of the Constitution), by the same semi-slave labor and full employment poverty of the WWII era, we could again prevail. The size of the government going in this time as opposed to the size of the government in 1936 might preclude any material improvement ofsociety coming out of such a war, though.

I wasn’t talking about the military. Even without a military, America is armed and dangerous. Let them come, then our enemy’s masks will be off and Americans will have no more illusions about who is with us, and who is against us.
