you are asking several separate things. Revoltnig earlier could happen in a number of ways - the inflation caused by the importation of silver was already crippling Spain and within 70 years of their actual loss of their empire, they were crushed by the United States ... simply having a few...

ZERO effect?! First, this is going to be a real problem for hillary if she tries to run in 16. Second, thanks to obamacare fiasco, it is off the radar, but obama and co took a polling hit that would/will continue.

I think this is spot on. With the string of attacks on the Dem watch, Gore likely has a single term. The only way this doesn't happen is if he puts all hisattention into afghanistan and "wins" by some measurable definition .... maybe stands up to pakistan and gets bin laden before the 04...

With the US allied with Iran as a pillar of its mid-east policy up until 1979 and Israel having close, thiugh somewhat clandestine ties to Iran ... and all threatened by Sunni regimes and extremists .... is there a scenario in which this triple alliance could continue to strengthen and continue...

what?! Rectangles? Ridiculous claims about Russia (which was conquered by the mongols and didn't even really exist until the late 16th early 17th century). What is this about?

This is the very reason that the notion of this being the causus belli is absurd ... thevery thing these coutnries claim to be fighting against Israel for could have been delivered on a silver platter decades ago. The truth is, no Arab naiton wants a Palestinian State, and in most countries...

That is a question for the ages ...

1824 POD. No Corrupt Bargain. President Wirt. So, no corrupt bargain. While some historians and mathematicians believe that sincere voting for their second favorite candidate dictated the actions of the members of the House of Representitives in electing Adams over Jackson, the outcome is...

NOT AT ALL Both countries have fundamentally opposing geostrategic interests. Russia requires strategic depth to overcome their lack of geographic security. The United States needs ot prevent any country from dominating the Eurasian landmass and thus being able to project power...

WHAT?! there was no constitutional change ... the General Assembly voted to recognize the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA as the successor government to the REPUBLIC OF CHINA. The Charter was not changed.

reality and precedent The UN Charter has the Republic of China - NOT the PEople's Republic of China - on the UN Security council ... this was made possible by a General Assembly vote ... so the precedent for successor states is there ... Also - ARE YOU KIDDING?! The nuclear backed government...

nothing much ... stories NOT involving transporter remain the same ... stories involving transporter malfunction are either scrapped or shifted to shuttlecraft malfunction ...

times change ... France was a traditional enemy and Prussia an ally. With the unification of Germany, however, German domination of the continent - NOT French domination, which was amongst the previous motives for their antagonism (see: Napoleon) - was the central threat. French and British...

ASB. They could barely fight in Ethiopia ... the Italian army and leadership was laughable.

The Balkans just finished an orgy of killing to separate. Multispeed europe is the first step in ending the EU project.

France was a counter weight when germany was divided and condemned with guilt. Now they are reemerging on the world stage, moving past WWII ( a little prematurely .... by a few centuries .... I believe) ..... and unified in a way that France cannot call the shots without the UK and poland on...

not happening. Any european entity without the UK and several other countries .... especially poland and spain, would be so dominated economicalky by Germany as to be wholly unacceptable to all .... the EU already doesn't function, in part, due to the vastly different interests and...

response still stands .... worthless hardware for $ loss. I responded to the thread WI.

?! Warsaw pact and soviet union were already defunct. And offering a few toys is not the same as throwing out the multidecade US Australia NZ treaty to ally oneself with a prostrate, bankrupt country with which NZ shares no social, cultural, economic or political ties of any significance...

Barring watergateesque scandal this is never going to happen. Presidents don't resign due to unpopularity.
