That post shows how little you know about war. It isnt a game, you dont play fair, you get the best technology you can to protect yourself and fight another nation should it come to that. While doing that you do everything to stop a nation you know will attack you from getting superior weapons and technology. This also means sharing your technology to make your allies as powerful as possible. Holding a powerful fist is everything in that matter. Should you see another nation gathering weapons to attack you, you dont sit there and say fair is fair, you stop them. Do we give the terrorists in iraq fighting our marines training and better weapons to be fair? No. We kill them as quickly as possible in the most one sided way possible.
