On September 24th, 2008, McCain announced that he would not attend the debate (September 26) because of the financial crisis, but Obama called him out. What if he had not attended anyway, and the first debate just turned into an interview of Obama with McCain's post empty?

With the earliest PoDs after WWII, but preferably the latest possible, improve the economic power of both the US and Japan without damaging each other (i.e. Japan still takes over the automobile industry, and thrives in information technology). It can be through anyway, whether trade deals...

A challenge to have Nazi Germany and Hitler be even more infamous than OTL. A few things from WWII and before I was thinking was: - Albert Einstein executed - Large purges similar to Jewish Holocaust of more people deemed inferior; targeting more ethnic groups - Some cities razed because of...

You're challenge, should you chose to accept it, is with a POD no earlier than the Fall of Saigon April 30th, 1975 make the US and Vietnam have a military alliance. If you think an alliance by the present day with a Post-Vietnam War POD is implausible or outright ASB, then you are welcome to...

I just got a great idea: Military Olympics. Every 2,4,5 or 10 years most of the worlds nations have some of their best soldiers compete with other nations in an Olympic-like competition. The competition is a major part of considering the quality of the world's militaries. Scenario 1: Friendly...

How do you get Christians and Muslims view each other positively by 2014? POD can be before or after 1900. If necessary Christianity and/or Islam can be changed.

I have seen a lot of threads about a Sino-Soviet War, but I have not been able to find one about the US fighting on the side of the USSR. This starts with the Sino-Soviet border conflict becoming a full war, then for some reason the US decides that China is a threat that needs to dealt with. And...
