Its a space of 1meter×1meterx1meter, basically a cubic meter where the matter replicator works on. (So, no replicating cars, since its too big)

How do you min-max this?

    Mujahideen in Afghanistan or on the front lines of Korea or any of a dozen other proxy wars.

    I do not count these as the Cold War.

    Proxy wars have their special funding and maybe false motives, but they are hot wars. Real wars.

    The Cold War consisted of threats. Piling up weapons, bombs, nukes, and counting and comparing who’s got more of them. These threats were made mainly by politicians. Maybe I was wrong in saying they “fought” it.

      …okay. Historians do, though, so I hope you understand if I go with them on this one. Also those were just examples, if you don’t like them there are plenty of other proxy wars you can pick from to see my point illustrated pretty much everywhere.

      That’s fair though, it was more than just one thing, and like most things in life it’s far more complex than it seems on the surface. I just take particular exception to any suggestion that politicians in any way risked their neck for literally anything ever.
