Bingo.
Although I don't know if I agree with the concept of nation-states getting involved in a new arms race. Personally, I think nations are losing more and more importance to corporations, and it'll be the corporations in the race with each other... corporations unbeholden to any particular legal system or people, and who are developing armies of their own (vis. Mercenaries).
Yep, it's a brave new world.
