<<After a few atomic bombs on their heads and devastated cities through brutal invasions, the samller nations of the world finally got the idea. After the Roman Empire demonstrated their power to the world in Carthage and other places, many smaller kingdom saw the handwriting on the wall and begged to become part of Rome. Ancient Israel was just one example>> Yes indeed, the US economy didnt exist before we dropped an atom bomb. And we werent the worlds greatest industrial power before WWII even started either. Its all because of the nukes, man. My eyes are opened. The world wants US goods because we have nukes. Is that why there was such an outrageous demand in Soviet Russia for contraband American goods, most of all blue jeans? The Soviets were really quaking in their boots were they? You havent picked up that elementary economics book yet, have you?
