You don't build tanks and planes without them. Nuclear bombs without them.

Look at south korea. Plenty of military, no brain.

I'm genuinely curious - what did you mean by this?

I think he meant North Korea. But they did build a Nuclear Bomb (or rather got the tech successfully loaned from China)

According to some high-ranking North Korean defectors, they actually built it themselves with no direct assistant from China or Russia -- which explains why they are so crappy. Their nuclear program is still young and poorly funded.

That's why I mentioned intelligence. You need proxy wars, coups, espionage, state-funded terrorism, etc etc in other countries to maintain your power. The US excels at that.
