  1. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    As long as it isn't about the most recent election cycles in any country that might generate a flame war.
  2. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    Writer's Forum is the ONLY place where current political fiction won't get any sort of challenge. Chat may get some flak on it not be factual, but it is also an acceptable location for current politics.
  3. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    Wait... You PM me, I reply with where you can post this CURRENT POLITICAL scenario and you STILL post something that is SPECIFICALLY contrary to advice YOU ASKED for? Tell you what - Explain to me WHY I shouldn't kick you for this. Give you to tomorrow to come up with a reason(s).

    What the hell? DO NOT SPAM!
  5. America occupies the entirety of Korea after WW2?

    Stalin was ALWAYS insistent on getting his share of the spoils. Arguably the entire Soviet DoW against Japan was a pure land grab.
  6. America occupies the entirety of Korea after WW2?

    This pretty much covers it. Same thing exists as in the ETO. Both sides had agreed upon areas of trusteeship/occupation (in the case of Korea established after FDR made the suggestion in 1943) and both the WAllies and the Soviets followed them. Now the post war politics involving self...
  7. Bobby Kennedy Never Becomes Attorney General

    Well, that was useful. Please don't troll.
  8. Best Assault Rifle?

    Please don't do this.
  9. B-60A in production

    Well, each engine had 2,700 pounds less thrust (8,700 vs 11,400) than the YB-52 (same engine type was used but different variants, Convair CHOSE to use the lower power engine, even knowing the Boeing design parameters), so it had 21,600 pounds less thrust than the B-52. That is close to two and...
  10. US Financial situation in 1945

    As well as funds sent from individuals across the world. Stocks in American defense contractors, and especially in U.S. government Bonds..
  11. US Financial situation in 1945

    That line is what is known as "dramatic license". The U.S. was in debt, but it was also the only place on Earth for capital to flee to. Taxes were off the hook, top bracket for Federal Taxes was 94%. Countries go broke when no one will lend them money. The U.S. was in no danger of that happening.
  12. B-70 produced.

    Streamlines has no impact on RCS. RCS is a combination of size, materials, and design. The XB-70, as stated in United States Strategic Bombers 1945-2012, had a RCS 10 times larger than the B-52 (which as noted is a flying billboard), including on the critical forward aspect (which is the aspect...
  13. B-70 produced.

    Actually the true top speed of the Blackbird has, to this day, never been revealed. There is also the difference in the RCS between the two platforms. The B-70 was a steel brick with a airframe that was, unintentionally, just about the best radar reflector possible. The SR-71 had a much...
  14. B-70 produced.

    That sort of makes the deep penetration unnecessary.
  15. B-70 produced.

    The original version? Yep. The low level version that can fly under a jack rabbit? Not so much at the time. Now? Pretty much. These days stealth is the only way to survive deep penetration missions in a peer/near peer conflict
  16. Best Assault Rifle?

    All assault rifles have this sort of AP ammo. To the OP: Best is very much a matter of definitions. The AK is clearly the most prolific. It is also possibly the least accurate straight out of the box (although with some work it can be very accurate indeed) lending the the "spray and pray"...
  17. Best front for Germany to use nukes

    Go big or stay home.
  18. WI the US kept Columbia as its national figure over Uncle Sam?

    Well, this takes politics in post 1900 to a near record high and is flamebait in the bargain. So many nopes. Kicked for a week. EDIT: This action has been reduced to a warning for flamebaiting.
