Why would the USSR stop developing fighters in that case?

Why would they do that?

counterpoint: Millions more people are dead.

My other favorite stuart slade tidbit is how he's violently against the idea of ballistic missiles and has a borderline delusional view on the capababilities of anti-ballistic missile defense systems and an under-appreciation of surface to air missiles. Hence why by the 90's the us is using...

To illustrate the character and qualifications of the man, stuart slade, who wrote the big one: In later books he decides that all the countries in the middle east join up to form a single state known as the caliphate. A norweigan guy on the forums points out some historical issues with this and...

Wouldn't an F-14 be better for that purpose? Same amount of missiles but faster takeoff and climb performance?

The closest you're going to get is no Russian revolution and a bunch of democratically elected socialist governments promoting something like employee-owned firms. So somewhere a bunch of countries in the spectrum between modern day western Europe and cold-war Yugoslavia(The closest thing to a...

If you're familar with the development of the canceled game Sonic Xtreme it was going to have a mix of 2d and 3d gameplay. Of course if you are familar then you also know that Sega of Japan hated everything to do with that game by the end of its development for mostly unsound reasons and...

Do you realize how difficult it is to actually win a defamation case in the united states?

Yes our most trust worthy "Ally".

Except Soviet Doctrine was to use tactical nuclear weapons as fire support on day 1 with the expectation that the allies would do the same. edit: also you're forgetting the fact that chemcial weapons barely provide any military usage. Meanwhile nukes are very versatile.

no otherwise he'd say something you jackass

There's actually already a timeline going on about this exact subject right now. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=279199

Perhaps you could have the middle east break down into a regional war. Have Israel resort to the nuclear option(preferably in some sort of preventative strike gone wrong so you don't have to deal with the Jericho option forcing a retaliation from the USSR) and you could easily disrupt the...

The super mario bros film was a masterpiece. I don't think I've ever seen so many people be wrong before.

The war in europe was already over by May. There'd be literally no reason not to use it in japan.

The soviet union wouldn't launch a massive assault based on just three or five missiles though. The more likely thing is if they really thought it was legit they'd either wait to verify if more missiles were coming in or in till they had actually landed on soviet territory and since the missiles...
