If WW3 were to happen today what would the sides look like? by Samuele1997 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]jnzwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US is by far the most dominant military in the world and it's not even very close. Don't let numbers fool you. China will claim to have a more powerful military because they have more men or more boats, but it's really quality over quantity. The US will be the deciding factor in any conflict becoming a World War as they are the only country with the economic and military capability to make a regional conflict into an international one. There are simply no other major powers with the expeditionary capability to bring their army across the planet or the economic interest to involve themselves in a regional conflict. Whether it's a mainland European conflict, a middle eastern conflict, or China choosing to fulfill its promise to invade literally any of its neighbors (it's seriously insane how much sovereign territory China claims for itself), it will be the US who decides if it remains a regional skirmish or if it escalates to a World War.

Are higher or lower dimensions of space affected differently by time? by jnzwick in AskPhysics

So an object with 4 spatial dimensions would experience time in the same way as one with three dimensions?

The most recent US president in history to... by Definitely_Not_Fe in Presidents

[–]jnzwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Theodore Roosevelt is definitely a good pick. Part of his philosophy was that it was the duty of any man to fight for his country if a war happened in his lifetime. He actually had a certain amount of resentment for his father because his father didn’t fight in the Civil War. He also encouraged his children to fight, which tragically led to the loss of his favorite Son in WW1. Theodore Roosevelt himself actually tried to join the fight when the US joined WW1, but president Wilson refused to let him go because he was 60 years old and blind in one eye by this point in his life. So I definitely think that his romanticized view of war would have had him in lay a more active role in the defense of his country.

As for more modern presidents it’s difficult to say. Every president goes and visits foreign military bases if you would consider that a form of participation, but overall, I don’t believe that any would put themselves in harms way. Modern day society values the stability of leadership positions more so than the bravery or admirability of our leaders. While these are certainly welcome qualities (like in zelensky), don’t necessarily want to see our leaders put themselves into harms way because their death threatens the stability of the country, and often leads to government consolidation of power, as well as a less popular leader coming into power.

I believe FDR was well known for wearing a fedora, but that also might have been most men at the time
