Things change, countries can tell combat forces with cannon to load up and then deliver them across the world in 18 hours, and at the same time have submarines, and Aircraft carriers following them, while home based missiles are landing on the enemy’s military bases and ports.
Benjamin Franklin 1784
“And where is the Prince who can afford so to cover his Country with Troops for its Defense, as that Ten Thousand Men descending from the Clouds, might not in many Places do an infinite deal of Mischief, before a Force could be brought together to repel them?”
Wise points including a reference to my favorite Founder, Benjamin Franklin.
