It has some merit. Sweden built an entire system based on road bases to deter any invasion attempts from the Soviets, including aircraft able to operate out of them. Still happen upon them to this day, just notice the road get straighter and a tiny bit wider.

- CydeWeys 6y agoI'm not saying it doesn't have merit or isn't true of other countries, just pointing out that it's not true of the United States. The US is a lot different from Sweden in two salient points here -- we're much bigger, and we're protected by entire oceans from potential enemies on all sides.
- Gwypaas 6y agoCompletely agree with you. Just pointing out that the idea that I guess many technically minded people come across actually exists, although in a completely different environment. In contrast to oceans there's 600 km by air from St. Petersburg to Stockholm which leaves minutes to respond.
