Considering the Japanese population in Chile at the time wasn't insignificant, it is entirely possible that the Japanese government would have a presence, and extracting the sister in law of the Imperial Princess (ok she has some other lesser title for the Westerners) would be a no brainer deal...

That's cause Ben is trying to call a bluff. Problem will be if the powers that be don't blink first.

I mean, you are assuming that the security detail was told the truth about why she was being recalled, or isn't inferring something. If all they were told was "Blood test results came back, she is to be brought home by all means necessary" it would be reasonable for them to assume she's...

Well it would kill Kat. Cause she'd go feral, but her mental health isn't surviving going feral again.

India is gone. No if's but's or maybe's. So if we can agree to move past that point: Basically the only way that Britain is holding on to its empire post 1945 would be if the British politics took a hard turn to the Right and it decided to just go all in on hardcore repression and...

Good job Ben, Freddy will remember that for a long time to come.

And that's after the John Carthy lessons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_John_Carthy

Ok, this I can speak on. Gardaí today learned a lot of lessons that wouldn't be around in the 70's. Hell the old story about a detective tripping on the way into a shop and dumping an Uzi mag in the ceiling comes to mind. And I still wouldn't trust the majority of Armed Response with a hot...

My "favorite" one is that in a CP victory all of Ireland becomes independent. And trying to point out that at the least you should have a very bitter civil war lasting a couple of years between the Unionist and Nationalist communities tends to just get glossed over with "But German Support" as...

So long as they are doing it far away from the front lines, it should avoid any embarrassment. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if there was an expansion of the French and British embassies too. Friends close etc.

True, but again, they shouldn't be sending too much that requires a lot of assessment. Maybe Santiago gets a couple more "Cultural Attaches" for a while.

One would hope they would have learned their lesson on that front. Unless a bunch of "advisors" are being sent south (which the US should not do) the only stuff being sent down there should be the things the Germans already know about. It'll lead to some angry letters from Berlin, sure, but...

It would be very smart for the US to stay out of the mess, sans some supplying of arms to the combatants naturally. I promise it will stick in some senators throat to ignore the Monroe Doctrine like this, but direct involvement will only end badly, whereas for the price of a few manpads and AT...

*shrug* Punishing a person for the things they haven't done is up there with blaming the child for the sins of the parent. ITTL all we know is that he's a smarmy 17 year old, and let the first person here who wasn't a little shit at 17 cast the first stone.

It'll be even worse when they are deployed on a strict RoE assignment and basically can't even knock over a fence. I think even Jost would blanch at the level of cruelty a suitably motivated and empowered civil servant could do with a clipboard under the right RoE.

Goal isn't to hit the enemy. It's to make the enemy keep their head down.

Oh this is a topic I've thought about before a lot. To the point I do have some stuff planned out for one of my stories and honestly I don't mind sharing an album listing I came up with. Will spoiler tag the context just incase anyone who follows it sees this (also story might change between...

That's ok man, it was notable but it's not like you've been gone a month.

War ended. Was planned to be put into service for the 1919 offensive. Jerry threw in the towel a bit early and so it was scrapped, just another in a very long line of equipment that missed out due to one of mankind's stupidest wars ending when it did.

It's called Imposter Syndrome and someday an autobiography of her is going to be required reading on a Psychiatry Course.
