Maybe. But he was blamed for it and was made the fall guy. What is interesting is with him emerging it could force that convenient storyline (an Azeri terrorist shot him) to fall apart. We could we find out if someone else ordered the shooting, and that could be a bombshell for the UIS if it...
Thanks all! I won’t lie, Life sort of happened and I just didn’t revisit this site in awhile. But I always knew I wanted to come back to this timeline.
But with that being said, it is tough to pick up where I left off. After almost ten years a lot of the internal stories that I wrote have...
AFTER ZHIRINOVSKY- PART SIX: THE LIBERATION CLAUSE
People’s Republic of Azerbaijan declares independence as UIS attempts to force unpopular “Liberation Clause” on new nation
Much of Baku remains damaged since 1991 (WP)

I don't think the UIS has a preferred candidate. Maybe Tancredo but he isn't exactly a front runner here. Rather, they probably have an "anyone but Lazio" mentality. Engler is seen as a politician who feels that Al-Qaeda is the greatest threat to the United States. Sure he isn't seen as being a...
PM me an email and I'll send you a word document with the entire TL. I'm still working on the thread marks now. There are 151 updates in the original TL and I'm up to 66 so it may be awhile before I catch up

CNN interview with Dick Gephardt, Former House Majority Leader

CNN: Congressman, the announcement that President George W. Bush was suspending his campaign after a dismal third place finish in New Hampshire was a political...
You should still finish the original thread (I know, I'm biased for my own work). The thing is the original TL had a clear start, finish, and end. This post Zhirinovsky story is sort of a stand alone in some regards. Think of it this was: Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire is a complete story ALA...
Probably comparable if not identical unfortunately. Oddly enough, Zhirinovsky had a history in TTL of being seen as the one politician who supported gay rights in Russia (you know what they say about the broken clock). He switched gears on that only recently, and mostly to keep the long LDPR...
I don't want to give away to much here, but I will say this: Dubai will come into play but there is a "ripped from the headlines" feel to this TL and Saudi Arabia will fall into that category. Keep in mind, unlike OTL Iran is an established and legitimate regional power with moderate ties to the...
Thanks @5000 Cows, and welcome back! Obviously this won't be updated as rapidly as it had been before, and I'm trying to restart Bleeding Florida also, which slows it down as well. But I hope to keep things steadily posted with some new developments from the dystopian world we've grown familiar...
I think it is safe to say that France is very concerned about what happened in Dominica and may be pushing hard to get the Russian expats out while at the same time not pushing to hard. First, there is a possibility we may see in the upcoming updates where the Dominica Russian government might...
Thanks for the input @FlyingSquirrel. I'll be honest, I avoided talking much about British politics in here since I wasn't well versed on the subject and I knew many others here were. My main focus was on Cameron not being leader of the conservatives since his perceived ties to the UIS, which in...
