Russia is out. Western Europe is out. The USA is out.
So who still has full armories? China, Iran and North Korea. Very comforting.
I keep reading this and yet there they are shooting away.
Well since we can’t be invaded or subdued in a war (nor could China, Russia, India, or really any nuclear power) the amount we spend on “defense” is a bit extreme anyway. We could topple China by simply treating them the way we did the Soviet Union. No trade and minimal diplomatic ties. The starving rural hordes will take care of them for us after their economy collapses. Why 6-7 billion people kowtow to 1 billion Chinese peoples’ every whim is beyond ridiculous.
