Navy Tests Incredible Sci-Fi Weapon

So how viable would it be to launch a nuke with a rail gun so that it wasn't detectable until it exploded ala Metal Gear Solid?

I did

• The US did not seem to care to much about Europe until Pearl Harbor
• Answering to the idea that "others" rely on the US to "do the dirty work for them", I am referring to events after WWII, when, for instance, France left the direction of NATO precisely not to rely and depend on the US

And I knew it was provocative.

Again, the US vs. the Soviets.

The US cared, but the huge losses of life in WWI had spurred an isolationalist movement that gave the politicians an up-hill battle in arguing for intervention.

Q: Why do the French have their roads lined with trees?
A: So the Germans can march in the shade.

Continental dynamic have given rise to regional conflicts. The poor economic conditions in Germany after WWI gave rise to rabid nationalism and the rise of the Nazis and Hitler. Economic aid and cooperation might have staved off that development. I am sorry to say that the current administration in the US is devoted to engaging in economic sanctions, embargoes, and diplomatic isolationism directed at nations they don't like. That is the PRIME recipe for supporting nationalism, radicalism, and reactionary movements in one's enemies.

That's a good one

Another aspect of the problem, claiming you are tired "to pay for the others". Most of this money invested in the military system is certainly not lost into thin air. Actually, this is a pretty good way to sustain economy. Even a good war on someone else's land is an excellent investement, despite local claims from people such as researchers, whom we can safely (temporarilly ?) ignore.

I certainly do not agree that "other countries" consider the US as a good back up plan to protect them and therefore would lower their own military budget. Such a strategy would be insane, especially now.
