You seem to forget that if we go to war, we can't drop information bombs on people or overwhelm them with our blogs.

You need to be able to make tanks and other weapon.  In the whole of history of mankind, no nation has survived without being able to make things.

That is a fact, whether it  is socialistic or capitalistic.

After all, the communists have always said give the capitalists enough rope and they will hang themselves, and your comment pretty much backs that wisdom up...
