  1. Most unlikely OTL and ATL wars/combatants

    Consider yourself sued and with jury judgement against you. Please do not Necro.
  2. WI Ortega allows the annexation of Nicaragua as an SSR

    Annexation? No. Global Thermonuclear War? Probably.
  3. WI: California seceded during the Civil War

    Every time someone here acts like a jackass a baby sealion cries. Don't make baby sealions cry (again).
  4. Plausibility of Governor Howard Stern (L-NY)

    Probably not good. He would have to step away from the mike while he was in office and Stern doesn't exactly strike me as someone who would leave that sort of money on the table for four years.
  5. FALN kill Carter, Mondale, and George H. W. Bush in 1980

    Lets not forget that, had the POTUS or candidates been present the offices would have been robustly protected by Secret Service and swarms of local law enforcement. In all the odds are beyond astronomical.
  6. USA annexes Cuba after 1945?

    Possible? Sure. Sensible? Not really. The U.S. had more troops under arms than there WERE Cubans (population in 1945 was around 5,000,000) so annexing the place is child's play. Pacifying it is something else. Getting it to a condition where statehood is reasonable would require...
  7. WHEN would an young officer just miss WW1

    Is he American? Or British? Or German. Different countries had different ways of doing things. The German in the end days were taking officer cadets, 16-17 years old, and plugging them straight into the line. West Point's Class of 1920 & 21 was graduated on 11/1/1918 (almost two years...
  8. What would the USSR look like today if it hadn't dissolved?

    If it is still the USSR? The parts of Detroit they show on TV.
  9. WI Barbarossa delayed

    The difficulty is that GDP, while a reasonable predictor, is that it ignores certain, rather important, factors, especially in the run up to WW II. German GDP was artificially inflated since it was essentially on a full war footing whilst the UK and U.S. were still recovering from the Depression...
  10. WI Barbarossa delayed

    There is literally no reason for the British NOT to embargo Japan. Part of the problem this argument, namely that the Reich can build up a fleet, cut off the UK with submarines, and the British would still want to send oil to Japan is that it is contradictory. If the British Merchant Marine...
  11. AHC: US Troops fight at Waterloo

    But... Andy Jackson! Tennessee Rifles! Buckskins!
  12. Who would be a Soviet Petain?

    Molotov in a walk. He was the consummate survivor.
  13. Why is JFK assasination conspiracy so unpopular here?

    You have an absolute right to your own opinion. No one has ever claimed otherwise. What you are not entitled to is to post whatever you want, where ever you want to do so. This applies not only to privately owned sites like this, or to brick and mortar private property, but to government...
  14. Is Niall Ferguson right about World War 1?

    That's where the Money is.
  15. Is Niall Ferguson right about World War 1?

    While it was a good plan, assuming one endorses the concept (which I do not), the Entente states never even pretended to enforce the restrictions. Both France and UK were played out, arguably they hadn't recovered by the time WW II started either economically or manpower-wise, the U.S. had...
  16. Why is sealion such a sensitive issue on this forum?

    Just as a general note: You argue points here. You do not insult other who disagree with you. I don't care if they are RAF fanboys, RN fanboys, UK fanboys, Red Armyu fanboys, Reich Fanboys, USA fanboys or any other flavor of fanboy, debate the points or walk away. Insults have gotten out of...
  17. Why is sealion such a sensitive issue on this forum?

    ...and just like that you lose the argument and get a week off. Kicked for a week for an utterly pointless insult.
  18. Disasterous wars averted

    10 Years, 10 months. Ya. Not even a zombie. Walking skeleton sent back to local high school and replaced on display hook. God help us.
