What would happen to a nation's economy if countries stopped buying its war material?
It would wreck that nation's economy. A country heavily dependent on war-material production—like Czechoslovakia, which reportedly received over 80 percent of its basic production income from such exports—would face severe economic devastation if foreign nations suddenly stopped buying its tanks, guns, rockets, and other war material.
Les explains that if any nation suddenly stopped buying another nation's war material, it would wreck that nation's economy. He points to Czechoslovakia, a small Eastern European nation, where over 80 percent of basic production income came from war material such as tanks, guns, and rockets. He notes the same dependence may exist in America through defense contracts. The constant flow of arms to the Middle East, funded by oil money, illustrates how economics drives this trade, though Les adds that more than economics is involved: the sovereign God is still in control.
