  1. The literate Führer

    Air support will decide this battle. Whoever gain air superiority over the battle zone wins. Keep it up I love this TL.
  2. How Could Communist China Fall Like the Soviet Union?

    I think you need the ChiComs to have the same type of satellite country system that overtaxed their control system to cause unrest and also act as conduits for outside ideas as the Warsaw pact did to the USSR.
  3. Russia stands alone: No WW2 lend lease.

    Another thing that no one has touched on is that the US supplied vast amount of RR rails and locomotives and such that kept the USSR rail system functioning during the war. Without LL the Soviet transport system would have fell apart and their war effort suffered greatly, Plus without LL maybe a...
  4. DBWI: Japan had attacked Pearl Harbour?

    It might have pulled the US out its pact with the French and British to keep attacking the USSR after its invasion of Finland. The Winter War saw the West attack the USSR in the Caucus at Baku oil fields and the overland support of Allied troops through Norway in 1940. The Japanese attack might...
  5. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    Sorry but,I have to post one last time. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with the government's right to have armed forces(whether Federal or State) but state that the government could not disarm the people. To do so would leave the power of the sword only in the hands of government .Which...
  6. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    So by asking that this possible idea should be discussed based on factual statements by the people who wrote the Constitution is not relevant and be ignored I will stop posting on it . Still i ask that you inform yourselves by reading their works.
  7. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    You do understand that the Amendments were statements of rights people are born with as free people and those rights were not limited to only those listed? The government has no right to interpret a right as they are not progenitor of that right. As Schumer and other Senators are trying to...
  8. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    No, Washington rode out with regular army troops( states militia ie today's national guard) under the control of the government ,not a militia. The ones they fought would at the time be considered the militia. That was the crux of the problem. Even very early in our history the government could...
  9. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    Again I remind you all to read the Federalist and Anti Federalist Papers to see what the Founders were thinking of when they wrote the Constitution. They clearly spelled out the the people on a whole could never be denied the right to carry arms as they felt that this God given right was the...
  10. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    No, Washington's response to the Whiskey rebellion was his first failing as President. The rebellion was a just response to an unequal application of law. The whiskey tax unfairly taxed farmers inland as opposed those near the coast as the only way to move their produce to market without...
  11. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    And here is Mr Mason's response , considered the true author of the constitution "I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason . That was the point of the right to bear arms. Not to have a...
  12. No 2nd amendment in the constitution

    If you read the Federalist Papers which were the founders explanations of the contents of the Constitution to the people of the US you will see that the 2nd Amendment was just stating a God giving right that all people had and was not given to the people by the government. Their thoughts and...
  13. Cro-magnons settle America

    History channel had an episode that posited that man from the Iberian area migrated to the American continent pre 12000yrs and were either assimilated by or exterminated by the Siberian migration. They base this on similar arrow point tech found in both America and Europe. Also the Siberian...
  14. George Washington as a Military Commander

    Washington was a great commander in that he fought the world's best military and won. He was the first to not defeat but out last a major power so his new country could be founded through guerrilla war. He didn't need to defeat the his mother country's armies but, only keep his forces in...
  15. Why did Lincoln care so much about preserving the union?

    Here is the quote I am referring to "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could...
  16. Why did Lincoln care so much about preserving the union?

    I am not trolling ,you can look it up Lincoln said he would let the southern states keep slavery if it would preserve the union.
  17. Why did Lincoln care so much about preserving the union?

    To me it was basically about the revenue that the south generated that would be lost if he allowed them to succeed. Lincoln made several attempts to let them succeed or keep slavery and stay as long as they paid the government the money. No high minded morals just the all mighty dollar.
  18. Was their any way to save the Dutch East Indies?

    I think the only to save Dutch East Indies is to become a loyal trading partner of the Nippon Empire. Other than that not much hope.
  19. Bush goes to Mexico instead of Baghdad

    His father would have a little sit down with Jr and inform him that the US govt. gets a huge supply of money through the drug trade and maybe Saddam is a better target.
  20. WI: Guderain heads to Moscow instead of Kiev

    Stalin ordered the forces to hold Kiev, they would not pull out for fear of AGS attacking and capturing the city. A small block force could have been sent Gomel to hold the flank.
