At some point, having around 10 or 20 times the firepower of any possible adversary becomes a white elephant. Way expensive to build and maintain and meanwhile countries that don't spend such a huge chunk of their infrastructure on such gee gaws are running circles around us in consumer goods, the real backbone of any economy.
Eventually the contest between nations becomes lopsidedly unfair in the sustainable economy category.
