It is often argued that the safety of our
world
Use synonyms
nowadays is the best since a long time ago and policymakers should not waste the state's money trying to build a great
army
Use synonyms
. I completely agree with that opinion and think that armies are not important as they were in the past.
First
Linking Words
of all, I believe that the
last
Linking Words
world
Use synonyms
war was about sixty years ago. Even if there are some wars today on a small scale, those conflicts' styles are extremely different from old conflicts. Now governments are much more busy doing other things
such
Linking Words
as investing in infrastructure and education.
For example
Linking Words
, Switzerland has no military and it will never be invaded because it has very strong diplomatic relationships, so it can benefit from that money and become a better place to live.
That is
Linking Words
why it is more important to direct all of the
nation
Use synonyms
's capital to useful things rather than creating a useless
army
Use synonyms
.
Secondly
Linking Words
, I see that a
nation
Use synonyms
that wants to be strong and safe should invest in technology especially computers and communication systems.
In other words
Linking Words
, if a country provides advanced technological equipment to the
world
Use synonyms
it will not be threatened as it has a strategic thing that no
nation
Use synonyms
can live without.
For instance
Linking Words
, the United States of America has been the largest technology provider in the
world
Use synonyms
since 1930, so it can just protect itself by preventing other people from its advanced systems and it will not need to use its
army
Use synonyms
and waste all that wealth on it.
Thus
Linking Words
, a strong
nation
Use synonyms
is one that has the latest technology and not one which has a mighty
army
Use synonyms
. To conclude, I strongly believe that there is no need to waste our gross domestic product to have the ultimate
army
Use synonyms
.
However
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
money should be used to improve our quality of life in several ways.
