  1. WI: Sino-Soviet War in 1969?

    They won't occupy everything but I can see them taking Manchuria, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia at the very least IMO, if only to ensure a buffer between Soviet proper and the mess happening in the rest of China
  2. WI: Sino-Soviet War in 1969?

    Maybe Japan can even use this opportunity to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Chinese, if they help out with supporting the Chinese resistance movement
  3. DBWI - Could the Cuban Missle War have been avoided?

    Totalitarian ideologies like Nazism or Communism are completely untenable in the long run, so countries like Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia were doomed to collapse even without outside war. If dominoes fall perfectly, then there could be a 1/10000 chance that such collapse for the USSR would be...
  4. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    You still wouldnt want the CV to have access to the warheads though. Basically what I'm trying to see is this: If the CV occupies the lower 48 successfully, and all of America's strategic nukes were destroyed before their takeover, how long would it be before the CV are able to regain access...
  5. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Another thought: IF the CV were about to overrun the areas of America's strategic nuclear silos, could the operators of the silos (who seem to be still loyal to the old US government) destroy the nuclear weapons themselves to prevent them from falling into CV hands? Or if failing that, they can...
  6. Fate of Hitler and high ranking subordinates in a quick allied victory.

    I doubt the Allies would care about the Jews all that much if there wasn't anything on the scales of the OTL Holocaust.
  7. What would it take for OTL 2018 to still be in the pre-gunpowder era?

    Why didn't airborne syphillis get transmitted OTL then to the old world?
  8. What would it take for OTL 2018 to still be in the pre-gunpowder era?

    Or for progress to be stalled? I mean if humans had been living in the pregunpowder era for over 4000+ years since the dawn of civilization, what would it take to extend it by a few hundred more?
  9. What would it take for OTL 2018 to still be in the pre-gunpowder era?

    Considering 90% of human civilization existed before the advent of gunpowder, what would it take for human society today to still remain technologically as it was centuries ago? What would be the latest POD for such a situation to be possible?
  10. The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    Honestly, I just tell myself that it must be the work of aliens lending a small number super advanced, invincible aircraft and ships to the Germans and Japanese which allowed them to completely decimate the bulk of Allied resistance. ASB tech is literally the only way an invasion of the...
  11. [Man in high castle] What happens next for the sole woman who survived the travel?

    If she was dead in the alternate universe and is now alive again, it's gonna raise questions. It can very well be that the other universe's United States also knows about this and are completely covering it up from the public, with the anomaly being something like Area 51. Once she is in the...
  12. The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    But ironically, you'll be seeing many of the oppressed fleeing from the GNR to the JPS, since the Japanese for all their brutality did not have the genocidal racial policies of the nazis.
  13. The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    Hopefully there would be more interaction between OTL and TTL next season. It would be really awesome if some US and Soviet military forces from OTL accidentally get sent to TTL and aid the resistance.
  14. Sino US relations ITTL 21st century if the KMT won the Civil War

    How would relations be between a nationalist China and the US ITTL's present day? Assuming the cold war ends with the Soviets collapsing by 1990 ITTL as well, would there still be significant military and economic friction between the 2 remaining global powers ITTL? The South China Sea I can see...
  15. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    There should be some sort of international relief effort to ship supplies and keep Alabama afloat, as Alabama does have a small coastline, although from rummy horror it looks like whatever efforts would ultimately be not enough. I can imagine Soviet propaganda would have a field day comparing...
  16. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    What is the allegiance of the US Navy? If the US Navy was against the CV, then couldn't the remnants of the US as well as foreign countries can supply Alabama by sea?
  17. Great Britain and Australia conquered by Axis before US mobilizes

    Maybe the magical armada of flying fire breathing unicorns that the Axis used to conquer the UK and Australia would be used against the US. Which means America is DOOMED!
  18. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    The fact that the very people he once oppressed are now giving their lives to protect him (the scene where black National Guards took part in helping him resist arrest) was what moved me the most.
  19. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    That's basically the Handmaid's Tale
  20. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Hindsight is 20/20. I don't think Americans ITTL could've predicted a civil war until literally right before it happened, considering America is one of the most stable nations in the world for over a century. They let their emotions get the best of them and had no idea how bad the consequences...
