Holy Rebooted Sequel, Batman! Poked my head in here and what did I see but this. :D

The rice crop of 1945 failed. Distribution of food was utterly disrupted. Atomic weapons were coming on line - 1 more in August, the infamous "third shot", yhree or four more in September, and three per month from October onwards...

And the US.

Typo.

You mean as opposed to Myanmar for the 2009 Rambo and Mexico for this year's upcoming Last Blood?

Indeed it was a pack of lies, which is my point. What exactly makes you think President Wallace is any less susceptible to them than VP Wallace was? He was predispositioned to believe the best of Stalin and the Soviets, and there's no indication that his positive opinions would change ITTL.

Remember that that we're talking about a guy who visited two Gulags in his May 1944 trip and praised them as a cross between the TVA and the Hudson Bay company OP specified April 12, 1944. ;) Regarding renomination, considering that he's now the incumbent, it's almost a sure thing. As it was...

Rather than the Beirut model of surreptitious action, I'd expect something more along the lines of an Entebbe style assault to get into Tehran followed by a Storm 333 style storming of the embassy. The assaults against the Moscow Theatre seige of 2002 and Beslan Seige in 2004 would also be good...

I love it!

Bringing up Osamu Tezuka again, I have a few questions... OTL, Kimba the White Lion aired in 1966 in association with NBC. You haven't mentioned it yet, other than saying that ITTL The Lion King doesn't exist. Are we looking forward to a Disney redub of the NBC 1966 dub? And whither Hayao...

Here's another to add to my Utopia... George Markstein has a clearer hand in the creation of and thus more creative control over The Prisoner. Patrick Mcgoohan still stars and gets enough of the weird psycho-drama in, but with Markstein's writing we get an initial run of 26 episodes.

Yalta will have very different results, depending on who wins in 44. If Wallace wins, Stalin gains. If someone else wins, Stalin will likely get less. De Gaulle may or may not get an invitation, but if he does, major wrinkles.

Bill Clinton signed off on regime change when he signed the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998. It's not going to be OTL, but an Iraq war is likely if he's elected in 2000.

Sorry, but utterly unrealistic about the yakuza. They stick to the vice and shifty stuff. Shaking down families and other innocents going to a Disney park is not only way outside their traditional MO, it's going to bring down the cops faster than you can say Nobu Takahashi.

Less sever Jim Crow would require a pre-1900 POD, as many of the laws were in place before the turn of the century (Plessy V Ferguson was 1896, remember.). There were - Booker T Washington, Marcus Garvey, WEB Dubois, A Philip Randolph (my personal favorite), and many others. Very complex...

Either the Shikan Gakko or Ni Ni Roku coup succeeds. The Kodoha takes control, with Araki as PM. In 1936, rather than attacking the Republic of China, Japan strikes north. The Soviets have yet to purge the Red Army of the deep operations theory commanders. The Soviets smash the attack and take...

Nope. You left that open and I established it wasn't.

9/11 probably wouldn't have happened at all without the crackdowns. Can't see a reason why a bunch of oddball kids from California would be involved in that sort of suicide pact without the harsh turn the US took. And Clinton's security measures just made Harris and Klebold's little fantasy more...

Dates are off from what actually happened, obviously with Fat Man having been used on the 9th and the so called demon core supposed to be ready by the 19th. Nuclear Secrecy, as usual, has the good stuff on it: http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2013/08/16/the-third-cores-revenge/ (The notation...

Don't need atomic weapons for a ghastly result. No Downfall simply means the US sits back and waits for Japan to starve. Downfall carried out as planned (including widespread use of chemical warefare) would have been far worse and more gruesome - I could easily see a 50% civilian fatality...
