    Ideal British deterrent

    I think Tridents and say ALCMs would be my idea. Alternatively, the threat of sending Piers Morgan out again or bombarding a nation with "You're Beautiful" and hordes of Morris Marinas might be equally effective?

    Does not having Louis Johnson as SecDef reduce chance of Korean War?

    Considering the effect the cutbacks made by Johnson had on American forces in Korea, one might say the North Koreas saw an opportunity to invade. If say a more moderate Secretary of Defence, one that doesn't cut the military down as much as Johnson, was in charge, might North Korea have had...

    AHC/WK: Dedicated AA capital ships?

    Considering how carriers proved to be the key to allied victory in the Pacific during WWII, would it be feasible to use a heavy cruiser-sized or larger hull design and just mount as much AA guns on the ship as possible, dedicated to carrier protection? Like say a Baltimore class hull that trades...

    WI: Complete Collapse of Russia after fall of Soviet Union

    What if say the coup by Soviet Hardliners caused the complete Collapse of order within Russia, with various factions of political and military figures turning on each other? For the purposes of the scenario, most of the nuclear arsenal were perhaps disabled by troops unwilling to use the...

    In Perpetuity: The War for Hong Kong

    There is one simple way things turn sharply in favour of Britain. It involves Li Peng, the Chinese Nuclear Arsenal, and idiots in the Politburo/PLA commanders.

    Égalité ou indépendance: a Canadian TL

    So it looks like Canada overall is doing rather well. I wonder if there are however more trouble around the world.

    The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Some city ruins may be used as monuments to firmly remind citizens of why Germany should never ever be allowed to reunite.

    In Perpetuity: The War for Hong Kong

    Considering that China just attacked and sunk a Royal Navy ship, that might be the first of many incidents that may cause more nations to step into this clusterf%#k. Considering what we know of Li Peng, it's only a few steps away from him doing something utterly appalling, or doing something...

    WI: Second Korean War over ROKS Cheonan sinking?

    I think the Vietnamese soldiers who posted on Facebook may not be aware of the state of the North Korean Weapons. Vietnam has had the ability to continue to keep its equipment running and likely still gets some stuff from Russia and other nations. The North Koreans haven't had any external...

    In Perpetuity: The War for Hong Kong

    My thoughts: In this Timeline, perhaps there is still fears in Hong Kong of the Belligerent Mainland, leading to some of OTL's migration of Hong Kong era to Canada, Australia, Britain, the US, etc. I can see Canada joining the efforts, with their spanking new Halifax-class frigates...

    WI: Second Korean War over ROKS Cheonan sinking?

    To be fair, I think a war would have been more likely if a full out frigate or even one of South Korea's missile destroyers were attacked (even if they weren't sunk).

    Best Looking Fighter of All Time .

    The Length is actually close to that of WWII heavy bombers like the Lancaster, the B-17, and B-24 bombers. :eek:

    Égalité ou indépendance: a Canadian TL

    Looking at the initial appointments for Cabinet, I'm thinking DND may focus a bit more on the RCAF, due to their Defence Minister's background.

    Best Looking Fighter of All Time .

    While the usefulness and costs can be debated, the Avro Arrrow is definitely an attractive aircraft:

    Égalité ou indépendance: a Canadian TL

    I wonder if the Liberals are going to keep or cut defence spending.

    The NOT-so-best looking fighters of all time

    Dem fighting words. (Ironic considering the LTV A-7 Corsair was a shrunken, one-engine derivative of the Crusader)

    Illegal immigration from U.S. to Canada

    I can see it happening if say America started to turn into Drew's Rumsfeldia.

    The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Another horrifying aspect is that the Nazis helped turn the A4 into near-knight templars. To use a DC comics analogy, this is like the Justice Lords of the DCAU at best and at worst the Regime from Injustice.

    The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    What is arguable worse is the fact they intended to do so and delete every bit of history, culture, and language of "sub-human" races. They wanted to remove every trace of those they felt beneath them. They also discussed these plans with chilling casualness. As Calbear PM'ed me once, the...
