Could I, for example, Offer really cheap labour to your companies with few environmental regulations...have a ready labour force of about 500,000,000 people...send my youth to your country to learn all the latest technologies in industry, military science, computers, and manufacturing, as well as send intelligence-gathering experts to blend into your society to get the information you don't want to share? Could I then negotiate a "most favourite trading partner" agreement with you so that the cheap goods we learned how to make can now be sold to you duty-free so that it will be a really smart idea to relocate all the major industries in your country to ours? Could I then spend many of the dollars I took from your economy to build a massive military machine to intimidate you into doing whatever I told you I wanted you to do?
If I did this in this way, could I not win the war without firing a shot, and have you finance the entire thing. Hmmmm. I think I'll do that.
