  1. Japanese invasion of Russia 1941

    Why? The U.S. was the world's largest oil EXPORTER in 1941, and not by a small margin. Yes there was considerable interest in obtaining leases in the Arabian Peninsula, but the Caucasus oil fields were on the ass-end of nowhere, and the considerable oil from near the Arctic circle and in...
  2. Japanese invasion of Russia 1941

    Japan runs out of oil around September of 1942, almost the same time as the Heer blows its last faint chance of winning the war along the Volga. The IJA had, at most, eight months of oil (and this requires that the IJN surrender a significant part of its strategic reserve). The DEEPEST...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    That is possible. THere is no real understanding of the man's thought processes, especially as the war started to turn on him IOTL. The U.S. would accept them, but getting OUT of China is not a simple thing (ATL's DPRK as mentioned before). Bad place to be a traitor, or the relative of a...
  4. Why do people keep saying the Ludlow Amendment "almost passed" the House?

    The vote was actually on a discharge petition, a procedural move to get it out of committee over the objection of the Committee Chairman, not the actual Amendment. As such it would have required only a simple majority.
  5. 1940: American Preemptive Strike Against Japan

    With what? The U.S. military in 1940 was somewhat less than robust. Good navy, albeit in the early stages of replacing the older Treaty hulls, AAF was just starting to get some useful aircraft, and the Army was under 270,000 men, and that was a HUGE increase from 1939, when the entire...
  6. Post war world if Valkyrie succeeds?

    There would be a much less interesting Nuremberg Trials. That's about it. The plotters wanted Germany to WIN THE WAR. There is considerable evidence that they wanted, as a end result of the war, to restore, as nearly as possible, the July 1914 borders of the Reich. There were also, it...
  7. What if Beria stopped Khruschev's coup?

    Beria was a sociopath AND a serial rapist and, in all likelihood, mass murderer entirely separate from his NKVD responsibilities. He made Stalin look like the Priest that Iosif Vissarionovich's mother had hoped he would become. There is NO ONE in the 1930s-40s Soviet leadership who would be a...
  8. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II

    I think y'all need to keep politics out of anything that isn't Chat.
  9. Filipinas: La Gloriosa y Más Allá (Full Version)

    Probably would be a good idea to post a visible link to a discussion thread if you don't want comments.
  10. I was watching C. S. A. . .

    Seriously? Worthy of having Mass murder committed against every man, woman and child? Don't think so. This is the second time in six months that you stepped into the Mass Murder arena, except then it was as a Stalin apologist. Doesn't work any better in the advocacy role than the...
  11. Nazi Germany Starts with StG 44

    For cris'sake, you see there are sharks in the water and you decide to hang over the side as chum? Don't do that.
  12. Nazi Germany Starts with StG 44

    I have no idea why the hell you two want to seem to be the same person, since one of you is in Nebraska and the other is in Arizona, and really don't much care. You WILL cease and desist with this juvenile BS. I will help you out by giving you a week to practice. One damned inch out of...

  14. What if a World Leader was assassinated by Goat

    Ya' know... we locked the last one for a reason.
  15. WI: Cold War w/out nukes?

    There wouldn't have been a "Cold War". There would have been a brief rebuild by all sides, followed by a major land war in Central Europe by 1960/ That would have been followed by another around 1990, and the next one would be gearing up right this minute. Nukes kept the peace because the...
  16. WW2 German military

    What are you basing this on? Hitler sent him to Africa three months before Barbarossa was scheduled to begin (May 15, 1941 was the scheduled implementation date). He was only a Lt. General at the time (3 Star), not even a full Colonel General (Generaloberest), much less a Field Marshal...
  17. Without the 22nd ammendment, how many terms can Bill Clinton get?

    Well, I turned 40 just after he was acquitted, not sure if that counts.
  18. WI: the United States hadn't intervened in Iraq in 2014 against ISIS?

    Current political issue. Active threads in Chat cover this in great detail.
  19. Without the 22nd ammendment, how many terms can Bill Clinton get?

    Reagan would have been elected until he couldn't form a coherent sentence. That would likely be in 1996, two years after he was formally diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Same thing goes for Clinton, assuming he is ever elected (he benefited greatly from the reluctance of many in the Democratic...
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Hitler might have used the WMD, but in all likelihood he wouldn't have. It is worth noting that IOTL he had absolutely nothing to lose by Mid January of 1945, yet he never authorized the use of any CW (there is some evidence that small amounts were used, probably by accident, on the Eastern...
