Will there be a war like OTL's Six Day War with Israel ITTL?

Wasn't the US in HFR having a hard time in Kentucky against the CSA?

Do you think Dewey could be the one to start something like OTL's GI Bill?

Do you think Thomas Dewey will win re-election as US President in 1948?

Rubio/Kasich-275 Clinton/Kaine-263 Per US Election Atlas standards, blue is GOP and red Democrat. Here's what a Rubio win might have looked like. Is this ASB? I thought Rubio would get a much closer Electoral College win, but the popular vote gap would have been much closer.

Two basic questions: 1-What do you think the 2016 electoral map would have looked like had it been Rubio vs. Clinton? Some polls showed him beating her, but many polls also showed Trump losing convincingly in the Electoral College so who knows? 2-In general, what site/program do you all use...

Why Pence for his VP, out of curiosity? Since you were the other person to respond to my question, same question for you basically: Why did you have Kasich pick the VP you had him pick...wouldn't Brewer be too far right for him?

What do you all think a Kasich-Clinton matchup would have looked like electorally? I'm curious as to how other GOP candidates would have done against Clinton.

I would imagine no UK means no Canadian front in the North American theater. This likely means the US does better and probably annexes what they did from the CSA in TL-191 Great War+ Tennessee.

Would TR try to get more aircraft carriers?

He would at least keep a budget for US barrel R&D.

Anyways, do you have hope for book 3 when it comes out? I may check it out from my local library and skim the plot (hopefully less 'grunt' 'common' characters and at least one more perspective character added) but I'm not enthusiastically looking forward to it.

Also, shouldn't the Soviet strategy of "use B-29 look-alikes to nuke US cities" have only worked about once or twice before the US issued a shoot on sight order against anything that looks like a B-29 not specifically authorized to be in an area?

2 more points I thought of: 1-Shouldn't we be seeing the B-47 by now? I know about the B-36 but the B-47 was also coming into service about this time IIRC. 2-People have responded to questions like ours in other places by saying things like the Soviets have been bombed too. However, if we...

So would it be fair to say this series is a mild Soviet wank?

I don't know the exact numbers, but at this time (early 50s) didn't the US have a lot more nukes than the Soviets? I.e., if somehow the Soviets could reach cities on both US coasts (and I'm not denying the US would get hurt in this book)...then shouldn't the Soviet Union be absolutely flattened...

Honestly, a lot of the time I skipped through a lot of the POVs to get to Truman's sections so I could find out what was going on. Like the last one it had too many "common" characters. Also, if you thought the Soviets did too well in the last one, one will probably not like this book either.

I guess what I'm saying is that his de facto getting fired really hurt him and started his downward spiral early. If he had been allowed to stay on he probably would have been a little more healthy overall.

Was that before or after he was forcibly retired?

What did the settlement with Germany and the rest of Europe look like? Was it similar to TL-191?
