If they have to worry about starving, then food should be priority #1, and not shipping munitions to the Iron Triangle via Laos and Cambodia in any great quantity Guys pushing bicycles carries a fraction as much as the trucks, which is why they bother to put pipelines from the North all the way...

Like South Korea was in 1954 Most of the problem of '74-'75 was lack of fuel. Every other US client could maintain US gear, and M41 Tanks and F-5 Fighters were not high on the complexity scale in any case Problem One Solve Internal Security They had gotten that fairly well sorted out by time...

If the French are flying say, twice the Sorties of OTL, they should experience at least the same ratio of Lost/damaged in Combat to enemy aircraft Lost/damaged in Combat from AAA Lost/damaged from Friendly Fire Lost/damaged from Accidents Enemy aircraft destroyed/damaged Enemy ground forces...

Stalin should be pleased, his plan of ' Let's You and Him fight' is working with the Fascist and Colonial powers stuck in a grinding war against each other. Rather than a fast Knock Out of France, that not even the Germans really expected. What is the status of Operation Pike? OTL planning was...

oil/water separation is trivial at the refinery level. That why salt domes are popular for storing oil

The South was already one, but hardly perfect. But better than the North, that was not a republic, and isn't to this very day.

Submission? No, just unable to receive any cargo from the WP or USSR. No cargo, no supplies to continue the fight in the south. By 1969, the Trail was truck based, not bicycles of 1963. Truck need fuel, and in 1969 onwards, that meant Haiphong as the only place that could recieve fuel in the...

Navigation is a problem, and gliders aren't cheap, and are limited in the amount of gear carried. Next proble, using higher altitude to launch, or glider tugs, or even ground slingshot/catapult to get them into the air Probably easier using ground infiltration

Oil molecules are almost entirely without a charge, they won't mix with charged water molecules that carry the sodium chloride Na+ and Cl- ions That's why Oil is used as a dielectric fluid Separate the Water, the Salt goes with it. Simple.

Linebacker II Bombing and Pocket Money mining in 1968 after Tet. And don't stop the bombing keep hammering anything military related, as permitted by those relaxed RoEs North Vietnam can't supply the Troops in the South, Laos or Cambodia . Wait for a peace Treaty where the North vacates all...

there is a chance for one, but not both to be part of an expanded Conrail

Why? They know what they did, and were too cowardly to face justice

But kills the trains and trucks needed to support them

Not really. Put a hole thru the cylinder, it loses efficiency or stops, same for piston. Hole in the output line? Vents steam to the of volume of the cylinder, but without engine rotation that's all that goes, as demand pump is no longer turning either. Water and flame are cut back. Its a very...

They screwed up in not refreshing the Hornet, pretty much unchanged since '48, and blew a wad of cash on the compact market, just as the sales were plummeting, like with the smaller Studebaker Champion and Henry J

If basing from the Henschel flash boilers, not much would happen, same for the Sentinel, also a water tube style boiler. Fire-tube boilers are the ones that go *boom* when run dry or punctured

Probably would have been fine for the originally planned 30 ton tank, but not for 45. Now the US got away with the Jumbos, but that was at limit of what the US would accept for reliability

They could do Buick or Olds, Chrysler too, but not Lincoln as it was in the '50s.

Does the US still do emergency military shipments into Israel, and block direct help from the USSR for Egypt when they were on the ropes? Kissinger was the right man at the right place to have kept things from spinning out to WWIII
