Wars are won by the nation that can project the most lethal killing power at the fastest speed with the most accuracy. Wars are not won by sending waves of human “cannon fodder” against entrenched defensive positions. That economic power and technological superiority win wars was proved in’s Victory Day celebration for its role in defeating Nazi Germany, Vladimir Putin rolled out just one tank, a model T 34, which was the principal Soviet tank used in Stalin’s war against Germany.
Putin’s message is false. U.S. industrial might was the decisive factor in World War II and will be the critical force in maintaining the sovereignty of Ukraine. Just before the Empire of Japan launched its surprise attack against U.S. naval and military forces at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Admiral Yamamoto, Commander of Japanese naval forces, reputedly warned his senior officers that the attack would awaken the “sleeping giant” of U.S. industrial might. Yamamoto was right. The U.S. mobilized and projected its power across the globe, from Asia to Africa and finally into the heart of Europe. U.S. industry and its logistics train won World War II.
