Yeah if there's anything the united states isn't involved with its large scale wars...

Which is irrelevant, because USA is not an illustration of my proposition. #2

You see the main weapon of war is capital. It's hideously expensive to wage war, that's why it's not for individuals. Whatever weapons you have you won't have the ability to wage any kind of war against your country of origin. Whatever weapons you buy.

You haven't been paying attention in the last few years. Most effective innovations of modern war (and that's not what Northrop-Grumman or IAI advertise, that's what Shia combatants in Syria, Ukrainian military in, well, Ukraine, etc actually use to fight their enemies) are very cheap.

Anyway, it's not unheard of in history of wars for a completely outclassed economically side to emerge victorious.
