After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union's superiority quickly took away a lot of German equipment and, of course, its territory. The United States mainly plunders German scientists. As a result of the robbery, the Soviet Union obtained most of the equipment and territory, while the United States obtained far more scientists than the Soviet Union, and the top scientists in almost all fields were taken away by the United States.
Among them is the famous German V2 rocket designer von Blaine. America took von Blaine's entire research team. Later, von Bryan designed the launch rocket of the first American satellite and Saturn V rocket propulsion. America's Apollo moon landing program is inseparable from von Blaine.
Because of superior living conditions, superior natural mentality and strong sense of mission, the United States has stationed troops around the world, hundreds of military bases and more than a dozen aircraft carriers, posing as the world police. The main purpose of waging war is to carry forward values, safeguard fairness and justice, and safeguard international order. The reason of American military action after World War II and World War II is either the humanitarian crisis or the support for the invaded countries. So America has more and more friends and stronger credibility. Coupled with the encouragement of freedom and innovation in the United States, science and technology are also developing, and naturally they are getting richer and richer.
Russia's wars are mainly conflicts of interest with other countries, so the more wars there are, the more favorable the international relations and environment will be. The consumption of war can not bring positive benefits, and will naturally become poor.
Why is America getting richer? Because the United States is fighting in a proxy war, its troops and war costs are shared by its allies. At the same time, through the war, the United States can also sell a large number of weapons, so that the war consumption of the United States is minimized.
