Yeah, otherwise the USA would have been invaded by Cuba, Iraq, Vietnam, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen and a hundred more, and they all would have a fight over who can have it. Thank god the US defended themselves against those terrible guys. Especially the WMDs were quite the close call, the Iraqis were minutes away from nuking the land of the mart.
- JumpCrisscross 7mo ago> otherwise the USA would have been invaded Yes, invading Hawaii was part of imperial Japanese planning. If you don’t understand that defense spending is still worthwhile even if you don’t blow anything up with it, I’m not sure how we connect.
- Finbel 6mo agoBut... you ARE blowing things up with it?
- Braxton1980 6mo agoYou haven't shown the value. There are multiple countries that have a very low defense spending and since WW2 haven't been invaded.
