One only "needs" to go to war when you're trying to protect the past.
If one is moving to the future, other countries trying to get in on it
will assist and even open up to you. The Soviet Union didn't fall
because it didn't have enough smoke stack industries.
How many tank factories are in Switzerland?
When all the competent men in a country are armed trained soldiers
both the foreign enemies and the domestic government treat the
citizens with respect. (that was the logic behind the second
Amendment if I recall correctly).
Would the North Korean or Canadian governments treat it citizens with
such contempt if they knew the citizenry had the means and the will to
remove & replace the whole government structure? (Yes, I acknowledge
the Canadian problem is one of will power).
PS if there's ever a war between China and the US a hundred tank
factories wouldn't make a bit of difference, Tanks are somewhat
ineffectual against ICBM's
