Yeah I guess I just don't agree. But history can usually answer any questions about this. How many military-based countries have survived for extended periods of time without the rest of the world invading? The Roman Empire was around for a while... Are any still around today besides the emerging US? I can't remember a situation in a country where military might has led to international or long-term economic success.
