I suggest that there are good things that some others may offer for the future. The important word is "offer" as opposed to western do it my way or we will crush you to dust.

There is, in my opinion, a difference.





You are correct the alternate countries continue to utilise their wealth carefully and obtain greater value for expenditure. One only needs to review the amounts of it's citizens money one faraway country spends on "defence". More than the next 7 largest countries expenditure added together.

One would assume it would make it immune to all other threats. Unfortunately their military planners have concluded that without employing nuclear tipped missiles they would lose a war with China, Russia and even Iran. If nuclear tipped missiles are employed they don't win against China or Russia. They are walking back invasion plans of Venezuela, due, allegedly, to a Russian detachment of 50 soldiers and Cuban doctors and nurses....... I don't know how much Russia charges for a few soldiers and a transport plane on standby, but presumably it is much less than a faraway country spends, in an afternoon.

Luckily, historically one faraway country has been able to borrow money from abroad or steal resources under the barrel of a rifle

The days of a faraway country's ability to borrow wealth or it's citizens and military to stamp around the world and slaughtering/subjugating Jonny foreigner have, thankfully, greatly diminished.

Russia would not be able to withstand the attrition of war with the US and would ultimately succumb to a much superior foe. With regards to Iran the US would utterly decimate that country almost as fast as it bulldozed the Saddam regime. Nuclear weapons would not be needed and the US has a strong doctrine of using them under mutually assured destruction only.

I think military strategy is another thing that you seem to talk out of the side of your mouth about.
Time can change a good wine into a great wine or a fine cheese into a classic one. In your case however BSNOT, time has only turned you from an intellectual pygmy into a complete f#king imbecile.
It was a quote from OHOH you dribbling idiot. I have re posted it for you as you are obviously too intellectually disabled to attribute a simple passage to the correct individual.
BTW If you wish to Troll me, may I suggest you make it little more credible than your Tesla ownership... err story?
I do find correspondence with someone of such low intellect such as yourself although oddly amusing on occasion, becomes a little taxing at times and it is probably extremely stressful for you as well, continually having to communicate with your intellectual superiors.
Maybe It would be best just to pop me on ignore.
