I see perfectly what you're saying and understand the point you're attempting to put forth, but you obvously aren't getting what I'm saying, but possibly I am the one who hasn't spelled it out clearly enough. I'm saying your argument is ridiculous when the entire picture of the historic period of nuclear capablity is considered. 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.
