  1. How plausible is it that Imperial Japan decides to fight the USSR after Barbarossa begins

    That is not what the quote provided said. It said that forces were moved from the East. They were moved from the East, even the Far East, but any forces moved out of the Far East Front were immediately replaced. The individual units might have moved in & out (as the war progressed the Far East...
  2. How plausible is it that Imperial Japan decides to fight the USSR after Barbarossa begins

    True, as far as it goes. The reality however, and this is the part that seems to be missed here, is that the IJA had nothing capable of dealing with the BT-7 any more successfully in 1945 than in 1939.

    I assumed he was. Guard, prisoner, doesn't matter. Too high profile of an inmate to be able to kill and get away with it. In a state facility, or a holding facility, low probability maybe. In a USP, when he was single celled, which was the case from late 1992 onward? Not a chance.
  4. How plausible is it that Imperial Japan decides to fight the USSR after Barbarossa begins

    Why would they? Not getting enough curb in their diet? Japan couldn't handle the Red Army. They figured that out after getting stomped by Soviet combined arms at Khalkhin Gol and elsewhere in Manchuria.. The Red Army never dropped its force numbers for the Far East Front. Some senior officers...

    Uh... The USP system isn't a Third World lock-up. Noriega was held in a separate cell (despite his criminal conviction he was also covered under the Geneva Accords for PoW). Getting at him would be... difficult. Getting away with it would be impossible.

  7. Not Our Hour

    ...Combined with the earlier fatwa by the Grand Mufti of Mecca, this announcement effectively makes any Sunni Muslim who committed an act of terror a near apostate. Whether this will actually reduce terrorism is an open question, especially in Israel and the Occupied Territories...

    Actually President Aguirre does know about it. He had two conditions, no publicity and total deniability. Gutting the groups destabilizing Mexico (now that the Iranians and Cuban have seen the error of their ways) was, from Aguirre's perspective, worth the risk.

    The Juarez Cartel pulls in $200,000,000 a WEEK profit. The Medellin Cartel used to suffer a BILLION dollars a year in "shrinkage" from mice and rats eating money. This effort hit all the large cartels. They may have a bit of trouble meeting payroll.

  11. Best fleet of WWII

    The JNAF doesn't need to maintain a constant CAP over the target. They need to escort the strike in and escort the strike out. Zeros had the range to do that (this was actually the exact mission they performed flying out of Rabaul during the Solomons). Even if they do not mange to sweep the...

  15. Best fleet of WWII

    Of course the Japanese considered it. They planned for the USN to sail out across the Pacific, letting their light force attrit the fleet all the way to near Formosa. They they would sail out and win the Decisive Battle. They spent 35 years planning that one.
  16. Doppelzünder FLAK shell introduced in 1942, effects on air war?

    Thanks for the update. That makes a lot more sense. Makes it a doctrine issue, not a technology one.
