Complete road and rail infrustructure;
a fully armed civilian population;
thousands of the best jet fighters;
thousands of nuclear weapons;
at least 20-30 delta submarines that cruise the oceans of the world, their location not known by anyone in the world other than the people on board the submarine all armed with about 20 nuclear warheads each;
10 operational or near operational air craft carriers - which has been up to 15 at one point;
thousands of the best tanks;
military training vis-a-vis their troops esp. special forces, delta, rangers, navy seals etc.
I think it's funny how all that stuff in your list runs on petroleum that will, in 20 years, only be available in the Middle East..
