So when you look at cars the ones that seem to last the longest are Japanese.
So WW2 ended and we said that they couldn't have a military any more, and they went into other industries.
But the largest battleships ever built were Japanese. And you have to wonder about that. How they could mobilize all of those people in industry to make those?
the largest battleships ever built - Search
How many Yamato Class were built? Five were planned and two were built. And one was converted to an aircraft carrier.
They were 839 feet long and could do 27 knots! ~31mph. That is pretty fast! (The displacement, in tonnage made them the largest ever 72,000 long tons!)
The United States sank all three of them!!!
But again, it wasn't the same as the war effort in the United States. Japan used slave labor! Slavery in Japan - Wikipedia
And they had conquered great swaths of Asia! So sometimes I just think we should not have gotten into WW2. But when you look at what was going to happen. So they enslaved to help with the war effort. They even enslaved women as prostitutes. What would have the world been like if they had won WW2? Not likely they would have given that up.

I don't really know what to say about what all Trump is up to today.
Something seems unprecedented.

And so they got really good at making cars.
But how did that come about? Because the cars that they made were always smaller? And the trend became that all cars became smaller? So they had a lead in that?
But what about engine technology?
Perhaps a lot of people living in a small space lead to a conservation of materials ideal that worked is way into this product? Conservation of engine compartment space? Maybe better engineering organization in small space? Idk, just thinking out loud.
How much oil can you drill on Japanese islands? So there you have a conservation of fuel idealism working its way into their designs? Just thinking out loud.
You are engineering a smaller vehicle to have the same capacity as our bigger vehicles? You know essentially 4 seats.
I really haven't studied it to make a fair comparison.
Perhaps after failing at engineering the largest items they could, Yamato class for war, they went smaller?

So I will comment on Trump. The gestalt of these people go here and these people go there.
Anybody understand this but me?

Ps According to this site the largest submarines today are the Russian Typhoon class that displace 48.000 tons of water fully submerged.
Unveiling the World's Biggest Submarines and Their Secrets
The Ohio Class are the United States biggest and they have 18750 tons of displacement.
So hopefully if we get into it ours will be more "tactical?" After all the largest battleships ever built in World History didn't fair too well against the United States.
And what would the world be like if Russia had applied itself in the Auto industry as Japan did?
I mean what is that Russian mindset that builds all of those weapons and wants to creep in and dominate us? For what? For what idealism? Tell me, g dammit for what idealism of human freedom? What do they have to fight for? What do they think they are fighting for? A sense of what? Just a sense of dominance? To graft that onto the entire population of the world, a sense of dominance?
And Putin used to say how we had everything in the United States? But secretly he has palaces too? He isn't out there with the hammer and the sickle is he. He isn't on the farm with the shovel and hoe. They are about War and horror?
Oh heck, I said too much again.
Idk, better to go out with swinging fists than battery cables connected to you.
I mean pull the symbolism out of that act of horror they committed and compare it to their general comparative frustration as being a failed industrial civilization? Yeah, I do believe Imperialist actions, essentially thiefdom of other nations and people, represent intrinsic failure.

Comparative State. The Titanic was 52,310 long tons.
