>Fear of russian aggression gave us the internet, nuclear weaponry, jet engines and the space program.
This isn't quite true. Jet engines were already being developed during WWII, including in Germany. The space program in the US was partially a by-product of the German rocketry developments.
So yes, wars and conflict have driven many technological developments, but some of them go back farther than you think, or are not just because of "fear of russian aggression".
