I mostly agree with this but have a hard time digesting the fact that someone would invest going to war with inferior looking strategy and technology.

Future wars are likely going to be GPU driven, ML heavy entities where efficiency matters a lot more than brute force, blunt grenade throwing wars of the past.

A super power like US would likely want to be in the forefront of this if they happen to be in a tussle with a worthy adversary.

Bleeding edge efficiency doesn't matter as much as you think in those applications. A 20% or 50% energy efficiency matters a lot for datacenters or mobile phones. It matters less in a smart bomb, missile, or tank.
