If Germany had of built a working a-bomb first, what do you think would have happened to the world?
I'm saying the US had to come up with one first, and in order to preserve their way of life they also HAVE to stay on top of military technology, or I'm sure the have-not's and the dreaded axisofevil-onians of the world would have attacked them long ago.
It isn't the smog over LA or the statue of Liberty that protects America.
Hey, I'm not agreeing with the OP that it's the "best" country in the world, but I certainly am saying that they are definitely willing to defend the freedoms they do have and their way of life. You're saying no country that puts that much money into weapons development can be the best. I'm saying you are wrong. Being the best often means what you have is worth defending, and how does a country have defensive capability? Oh that's right...... via a MILITARY. WEAPONS. Hello?
Rush to be right. yeah. Nothing but time here friend. Take as long as you need to understand what I'm telling you.  |
Hey I never said that people or nations don't have a right to defend themselves but you'll notice the only time nuclear weapons have actually been used was to attack Japan. So you're probably going to say that it saved thousands of American lives and shortened the war by months and completely ignore the facts that Japan was on its knees by that time and that the American government knew that the Soviets would soon have the bomb too and they needed to be shown that America wasn't afraid to use nukes.
