At which point in history should we have gotten rid of all of our boom?
The point where America stopped defending itself and started becoming a global empire (roughly after WWII).
I'm sure the Soviet Union would have disarmed in response, as seen by their holsum reactions to democracy in what-would-become-the-Warsaw-Pact
You do realize that the Warsaw Pact was created in direct response to NATO?
Did you miss the 'what-would-become' in 'what-would-become-the-Warsaw-Pact'?
You... do realize that NATO was founded after the Soviets couped democracy in Czechoslovakia, right?
... right...?
