  1. Ho Chi Osama

    That would be a terrific way to get the U.S. anti-war movement to evaporate in an instant. Attack the U.S. on AMERICAN soil? It would make 9/11's reaction look like a hay ride That would be enough to get all the most Hawkish elements of the U.S. to become mainstream. Expect U.S. occupation...
  2. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    Actually, I hadn't planned to put you on ignore. I meant what I said exactly as it was written. I literally have no reply to anyone who sees the Stalinist USSR to be a reasonable alternative to the Reich (unless, of course, they are Jewish, which, based on all your previous postings, you are...
  3. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    Pretty much? Which wasn't present, the removal of all the FOOD and seed from a region that, prior to said removal was both fully feeding its populous AND still exporting large quantities of food or the troops surrounding the area and killing people who tried to escape? How was the difference...
  4. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    Well, the USSR itself, before it happily ended up in the dustbin of history admitted to a total of 11.4 million dead in that event. I did provide a scholarly source in my initial post, however, the University of Hawaii is well known to be a lair of SS hangmen in the employ of the CIA. Or...
  5. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    I will admit that I am not a student of Indian history, but when did the British go into an area, take OUT all the food, ring it with troops, and shoot anyone who tried to leave? Not that the British get a free pass, just ask the Boers, among others. Actually no country gets a totally free...
  6. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    Okay. Living in Stalin's USSR was better than living in the 3rd Reich. I truly have nothing that I can say to that. Best of luck on your Mission.
  7. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    This statement, again, illustrates your remarkable lack of understanding of Stalin. Stalin wiped out groups not because they opposed him, but becuase the MIGHT, at some future point, oppose him. He had no reason for his destruction of the Red Army Officer Corps beyond his own madness. The same...
  8. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    Truthfully, they were both pikers compared to Mao. He slaughtered as many as both of the other put together for political and ethnic reasons. Pol Pot gets a special mention for overseeing the murder of anywhere between 1.2 & 3 million Cambodians out of a starting population of SEVEN MILLION...
  9. What if Stalin was as bad as Hitler?

    For an amateur Sovietologist you sure haven't done much research, or even reading on this board. Here is something I posted here in December of 2007 Stalin killed two-three times as many UKRAINIANS as Hitler did Political Enemies/Jews/Homosexuals and that was just the start for him. Stalin...
  10. The Complete Military Fiction Collection (in my house)

    Did you ever play the original version of Harpoon? If so, you know exactly what Bond thinks of the French carrier fleet and its aircraft. IOTL it would also be a massive waste of time. The total strike from both decks would be able to loft a total of 30 Exocets, would have to get well inside...
  11. Japan wank challange: Japan actually able to win a war vs the US in 1941

    Only one real way to make this happen. Don't start the war. There really isn't any way to build Japan up enough to defeat the United States. A Japan that had full control of China could possibly fight the U.S. to a draw, but that would require a flock of ASB to make it happen.
  12. WI: A nuclear war in the 1960’s

    Again, if it is in the early '60s the damage, outside of the USSR which will be burned to the ground, will be limited. In the late '60s, it is a VERY different matter. There were a number of weaponized bugs available to both sides, and in a full exchange the chances of their use was quite...
  13. WI: A nuclear war in the 1960’s

    In the early '60s the soviets didn't have the resources to strike at smaller targets, so attacks in the Southern hemisphere would be limited, probably to locations where USN & RN vessels commonly make port calls, and maybe not even all of them. In the late sixties it is a very different matter...
  14. World War Three breaks out in April 1951

    The U.S. would survive even if all ten of the Soviet weapons made it to the CONUS, which is an impossibility. The Soviets simply didn't have enough weapons to be decisive.
  15. World War Three breaks out in April 1951

    Absolutely, which is where the 40% failure rate comes into play 200 nukes would be enough to destroy the main Soviet cities (Leningrand, Moscow, Kiev, Minsk, etc.) completely, along with the major ports, Army and air force bases, and the "closed" cities, along with tactical usage against...
  16. World War Three breaks out in April 1951

    Actually, a lot of the first day strikes would have been by B-47 operating out of the UK or staging out of the U.S. and refueling before entering the combat zone. The Stratojet was literally brand new and was just going into service, but it was almost a fighter in terms of performance (it was...
  17. World War Three breaks out in April 1951

    It appears that there is a little confusion regarding how 1950 era nukes would be used in a tactical role. While they might be be used against the Schaltpunkt of an advancing force, especially in the case of bridegheads or airheads, the primary use would be against logistical positions. We are...
  18. WI: A nuclear war in the 1960’s

    Anthranx, Small pox, Llassa Valley Fever, and some mutated versions of them. The actual list is of course deep classified. I doubt even the U.S. has even a reasonably complete partial list.
  19. A homeland for _________

    Guy I work with is originally from upstate Wisconsin. He e-mailed us picture of his brat lunch one day when he was on vacation last month, complete with a shot of some local beer bottle with a name about 23 letters long. Didn't even save us any.:mad: :D
  20. Hitler Dies 1939, no war. Modern day....

    Not off the top of my head. There was a fairly recent bio done on Stalin that has a lot of the information as part of the footnotes. I have it in a stack somewhere around here, I'll see if I can find it without causing an avalanche.
