“If you look at the Gulf War or new military technologies, they are moving towards cyberwars. Most video-technologies and technologies of simulation have been used for war. For example, video was created after the Second World War in order to radio-control planes and aircraft carriers. Thus video came with the war.

“Actually, the phrase "national security" is barely used until the 1930s. And there's a reason. By then, the United States was beginning to become global. Before that the United States had been mostly a regional power - Britain was the biggest global power. After the Second World War, national security is everywhere, because we basically owned the world, so our security is threatened everywhere. Not just on our borders, but everywhere - so you have to have a thousand military bases around the world for "defense."” WorldWarStatesReasonUsedUnitedUnited StatesSecurityMilitaryThousandBasesDefenseAround The WorldBordersPhrasesWar Of The WorldsBritainThreatenedNational SecuritySecond World War1930sMilitary Bases Author:Noam Chomsky

He communicated through words, but more loudly through his actions.” WorldGivingWarActionLeaderMilitaryCommunicationLet MeBe GoodServantWar Of The WorldsSecretarySecond World War Author:John Baldoni
