Our world looks similar to 1914 in a lot of ways, but it looks different in a lot of ways too. 1) Mutually assured destruction. 2) No major empires dissolving

Our world looks similar to 1914 in a lot of ways, but it looks different in a lot of ways too.
1) Mutually assured destruction.
2) No major empires dissolving.
3) Global news keeps everyone on the same page as crises unfold.
4) World powers separated by vast seas, neutral countries, and demilitarized zones.
5) The UN exists (not always effective, but at least it's there).
6) Less chauvinism. Kaiser Wilhelm II makes Trump look diplomatic and cordial in comparison.

Or Fox? > World powers separated by vast seas, neutral countries, and demilitarized zones. That's just not true. Where was the demilitarized zone or neutral country between Ukraine and Russia? > Less chauvinism. Kaiser Wilhelm II makes Trump look diplomatic and cordial in comparison. I somewhat doubt that. Again, you've heard of Putin?
- mikeash 8y agoUkraine is not a world power, but rather one of those neutral countries separating the world powers.
