The Biggest Threat to America's Future Is the Media
By Rick Hayes
The United States of America is by far the most powerful nation on Planet Earth, spending about as much on defense as the entire rest of the world. According to a report on globalization from Credit Suisse, the U.S. has maintained its position as the world's strongest military. As an example, although Russia has the most substantial number of tanks, approximately 15,000, with the U.S. coming in at around 8,000, the U.S. tops the list in military aircraft with approximately 14,000, submarines at 72, and ten fleet aircraft carriers and two more under construction.
There is just no realistic way for any outside entity to physically take over the streets of a country whose known weaponry is capable of incinerating the globe many times over. You will never see an Iranian tank rolling down Park Avenue in Manhattan. The reason many Hollywood sci-fi movies have the invading extraterrestrials focused on taking over and destroying Washington, D.C. and not Rome or Caracas is that much of the movie-going world realizes that if the capital of the world's superpower goes, it's pretty much game over for the rest of the big blue marble.
