Nope. I was and am one of those who believe that our military can never be big enough.
Their tenacious pirating of our technology points out their Achilles' heel: they can't do any large-scale R&D of their own.
Oh yeah sure. Just like how Japan's copying of our technology got them into many of our now past industries, which they have advanced tremendously. Are you one of those that think Japan is a forever washed up industrial giant? LOL.
Let me tell you something that even an 8th grader would intuitively know, when a country cedes industry after industry to their overseas "competitors" without anything but trade deficits in return that country will most certainly reach a point where it loses the critical mass and technical know how to invent new industries. Common sense is obviously lost on you.
Look where it got them.
China's merely copying them.
BTW, Japan's one major R&D effort was the "fifth generation" of computers that would completely demolish the US technology lead.
It went...NOWHERE.
Are you one of those that think Japan is a forever washed up industrial giant? LOL.
Until they're willing to write off a few trillion dollars of their bad debt (imagine the US simply walking away from about $100 trillion of debt), that's EXACTLY what they'll remain.
