Sure -- the military makes things happen, and the private sector maximizes the economies of the military ideas.
I've proven my claim that nationalism has caused wars in the past, by listing several historical examples. World War I: Serbian nationalism,...
All true. FDR's stated support for "neutrality" was a fiction, a fig-leaf covering his intent to help Britain in its time of need. Noble, sure,...
Legally speaking, it's an act of war, as was LL: The Avalon Project - Laws of War : Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers in Naval War (Hague...
My point is that Germany wasn't driven to declare war on America out of fear of the treaty with Japan falling apart, as the Japanese showed...
