Nobody "wins" without overwhelming power. Perhaps you would prefer the
massive
battle of attrition (something with which the soviets have had a great deal
of
experience) over tactics which minimize your own casualties.


Depends on definition of "overwhelming power" if you understand overwhelming
power as overwhelming numbers you can find many examples in history,for example
during Civil War and during WWII.


You clearly know less about the present-day US, than you do about the USA of
1865. Perhaps what you really require is a slave- or peasant-class in the
background before you can imagine a modern equivalent of your so-called
"aristocracy".


Unlike your assertions,I know present day US very well.
If you want draw comparisons between present day US and other advanced
nations,just watch and compare live TV apperances of our president,a graduate
of an Ivy League elite university,with the live apperances of the leaders of
other nations,for example Mr.Blair.
Or just watch late night Shows.

Aristocracys tend to spend their energies in pursuit of the past, and we are
well rid of them, and their apologists.


Surely we got rid of them in 1865 and thats the main reason why US is not a
sophisticated country today.
Lets look at Europa,they toppled aristocrats after French Revolution,but with a
difference they toppled Aristocrats not Aristocracy.On contrary European elite
who toppled Aristocracy embrace many malues of Aristocracy and more opened more
elite schools like French Lycees and German Gymnasiums so that their childred
could be edecated like Aristocrats.
In other words Europeans made Aristocracy more accessible for general
population,whereas US terminated aristocracy without any replacement.

Thats the reason why even Graduates of Yale are only good to become
laughingstock every night in Kimmel or Leno shows.
