The success of the military industrial complex is that it convinced everyone that it makes sense to plough hundreds of billions on a war that will never come and that would destroy us all anyway if it did.

- entity345 8y agoThis is not the same as deterrence theory. Deterrence is achieved. No-one is going to try to invade the USA or start an all out war against them. This is FUD for power and money.
- zeveb 8y agoNuclear war could come (and honestly probably will, someday), and it wouldn't destroy everyone, just many, many people. And of course, if we weren't prepared for it, then anyone who did prepare for it could do as he pleased: someone with a conventional army and nukes will make short work of someone with a conventional army and no nukes.
