Is there a science-fiction r spiritual author in OTL who is self-righteous enough to create their own religious movement. Currently I am thinking along the lines of Deepak Chopra.....

After re-reading 1980s graphic novels Baker Street and Watchmen, one item we need for the ATL is the idea of riots at punk and/or heavy metal concerts. This crackdown started in 1976 and continued until roughly 1986,,,

June 8.th 1992 The Norwegian army decides that it needs a new Rifle. Instead of using a foregin design choosed they a design by the Norwegian arms manufacturer Kongsberg Våpensfabrikk's Ag-92 a new version of the Ag-3, using the new Norwegian 7,91x32 milimeter rounds.
(i Have the idea that Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk becomes one of the largest weapons manufacturers and start to design their own weapons.)

Interesting, any ideas for the escalation of weapons for the region? I can certainly imagine the other Scandinavian countries and certainly the Soviets being concerned....

Definitely put together some PODS along those lines. Something tells me that this would create a very different Northern Europe than OTL.

Looks great!! What is going to be the reaction of American and European leaders? They probably won't be too pleased considering the intervention in Spain....

The only thing my mind says to me now is that the us would support the Norwegians and the Danes.

Definitely go for it!! My guess is that the Soviets would attempt to bring the country into the Warsaw Pact. This would certainly outrage the United States and Western European leaders....
