"With so many countries producing under solid economic conditions, can you appreciate how many products will flood the world markets?"

If they compete on an economic basis, you have a point. But power blocs don't do that. They compete on a different level. Competing on an arms level is very different. Realize that much of the money spent on the arms level is recycled inside of the country. That, combined with the propaganda about dealing with an "outside influence", means that it plays to the jingoism level.

Ok, I am genJones. Cynicism, especially about international politics is innate. If I am wrong, so much the better. But history is on my side.
