  1. Mercy for Canada?

    Post 1900 the U.S. was pretty much over its expansion phase. By the time the U.S. was really in position to defeat the UK, or could have been with some serious effort (call it 1920-25) the U.S. wouldn't WANT most of Canada outside of maybe some fishing grounds, there was no reason to covet it by...
  2. Super F-111

    With all due respect to the Australian military (who has spilled blood with the U.S. in more muddy places that can easily be listed, and done it with great professionalism) if the PRC decides to have a go at Oz, all that can be done is try to keep them at arm's length until USPACOM can get some...
  3. Map Thread XI

    Trust me, the Banhammer was seriously considered.
  4. What if... Lenin didn't die?

    I agree. I mean he was born in 1870, be one old dictator.
  5. Super F-111

    Pure ground based bomber interceptor? Absolutely. It would need considerable avionics upgrades, especially in the radar and missile department. Better engines would be nice as well, likely the F-101 which was in play for the F-111G/H, giving it around 1/3 more thrust on burner. Best way to...
  6. A Lone Star Above Them All

    Locked for reasons that are obvious to all.
  7. A Lone Star Above Them All

    Again? Really? You can't add a few words or change a couple and have it be alright. You are likely in technical violation of U.S. copyright law. FFS, what does it take to get through to you? How about this - This is the LAST time you will be warned or kicked, at least by me...
  8. Super F-111

    Be better served, by a variant of the F4 or the F-106 with an upgraded radar and longer ranged missile, probably the AIM-47. The missile was the problem, not the F-106. If you need more speed than a F-106 than you need to see the YF-12 into production.
  9. Super F-111

    I don't know if the proposed "H" model would have been reasonable or not. The 'Vark's airframe was already quite stressed, even in its original form, and the addition of extra length would hardly help. More powerful engines would certainly be a nice addition. The real question is what the added...
  10. Could a smart Hitler take the world?

    I'll admit that no professional ever examined Hitler at length, but stating he was was afflicted with serious psychosis isn't going very far out on a limb. I'm not at all sure that his hatred of Jews and Slavs was insanity related, only that is was remarkable in both virulence and intensity.
  11. Could a smart Hitler take the world?

    A sane & sensible Hitler is no longer Hitler. Hitler was sociopath paranoid, who despised Jews and Slavs with almost unimaginable intensity, with a gift for public speaking and remarkable personal magnetism who attract a group of same minded lunatics.
  12. WI Nazi Germany vitorious what would todays world be like

    The Reich winning WW II is exceptionally unlikely. It is barely possible if a series of POD occur, but is a very low order of probability event. However, assuming the Reich won the war - Virtually every Jew in Europe, excepting those who made it to Switzerland (this assumes that Hitler...
  13. Treaty of Versailles and World War 2?

    Folks, seems like how would be a good time to remind all & sundry to argue points not snipe at each other. Word to the wise.
  14. Non-indoeuropean icelandic natives

    It is truly a rare thing when someone creates a thread solely to troll a single group. It appears, although it is remarkably difficult to follow, that you are: 1. Condemning Icelandic fishermen for killing whales while ignoring the vastly greater hauls from a variety of other nations. BTW...
  15. Super F-111

    The F-111 was a bomber. It wasn't a fighter bomber or an interceptor. It was a bomber. The only person who didn't see that was that idiot McNamara. An F-15E may not be a fighter, but it can play one on TV. There are very few 4th Generation fighters that can match up against it and in the...
  16. Chamberlain stays out

    Well, that's that. I had hoped you would turn out to be simply ignorant, but it now seems you are actually apologizing for the Nazis. We divorce you. To Coventry with you.
  17. Treaty of Versailles and World War 2?

    I would disagree. The Versailles Treaty set up the conditions that not only allowed, but effectively assured that Germany would wind up utterly hostile toward the Entente nations. The decision to end the war based on Versailles rather than drive through to full victory ensured that the hostility...
  18. Treaty of Versailles and World War 2?

    Versailles was the direct trigger for WW II. As I have stated in other threads future generations will not call things WW I, WW II, or even the Cold War. The 20th Century will be marked by the 80 Year War or the Long War. What started in Sarajevo didn't end until the Berlin Wall fell. The end...
  19. Treaty of Versailles and World War 2?

    That genocide was necessary, even though it would have been impossible/unsupportable in the real world, to prevent all that followed WW I? No. The only genocide I would say was necessary was when we wiped out Smallpox. If we can do the same with Polio I would support the intentional...
  20. Treaty of Versailles and World War 2?

    You have no idea how fortunate you are that you made this post. I literally had the Ban screen up when I saw it. I would strongly recommend that you consider the content of future posts.
