  1. Successful British Car Industry 2006

    No. Just the $%#^@# positive ground electrical system!!!!:eek: :D :p :D :p
  2. WI No Brezhnev?

    You know Darkest, sometimes your statements seem designed to just get reactions. This a great example. You have been presented with a series of hard facts, backed up by a variety of well thought out arguements from different posters. You have responded to them with, effectively, nothing...
  3. Bubonic Plague Never Happens

    Huh? I enjoy the shows. I have even gotten past throwing the throw pillows at the TV every time some load of bullshit erupts from the speakers. (BTW: If we aren't supposed to throw them, why are they called that?:p ) But to call it accurate is appalling. I guess the Japanese DID come...
  4. A10 Warthog-introduced in WW2.

    There were a number of Aircraft in WW II that mounted what could be considered anti-tank caliber cannon. My personal favorite is the P-39/400 Airacobra and it's variant the P-63 Kingcobra, just for its mass of quirky design features (Starting with the little car door the pilot used to gain...
  5. Anglo-German Alliance

    And Canada when it lost the Seven Year's War. Prussia was not ready for a colonial empire in 1870. It had to invent Germany 1st.:)
  6. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    As we have wandered far from the thread's origins, I will end my posts with this: There are two ways to look at Strategic Bombing, whatever the era. The 1st is that you, to the best of your ability, with the tools in hand, do your best to destroy military targets, even if you know that...
  7. Anglo-German Alliance

    Hey, we are talking about TR here. He did not go for half measures or insults, real or imagined. Would he find a violation of the Monroe Doctrine, one of the Touchstones of American diplomacy, by his supposed allies in a rapacious landgrab following a war he imagined was about protecting the...
  8. Successful British Car Industry 2006

    You need to get together with Mists of Time. Maybe he can set this up when he goes back to fix Packard.:D
  9. WI No Brezhnev?

    With what? NO MONEY remember. Starvation on the horizon. You need hard currency to build more missiles. Built by people you can not pay. Operated by troops you can not properly feed. Missiles that you can NOT defend. The Americans have stealth aircraft, the Soviet Air Defense Zone can't stop a...
  10. Could mercenaries have prevented the Rwandan genocide?

    Sure. :rolleyes: Three or four thousand 1st world quality ex-para's/marines would have done the job nicely. All you need to Recruit them, equip them (they'll need LOTS of helos, country barely has a decent road & only 1 airport), insert them at choke points, supply them, and ensure that you...
  11. Anglo-German Alliance

    Only to the point of open war to prevent it.
  12. WI No Brezhnev?

    Actually, I have never seen, nor do I expect to see a true Communist state. Humans do not work that way, at any level. Communism is only practical in a species that has evolved to it. Any species that has a competitive atom in it's body or competition hard wired into its survival instinct will...
  13. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    I absolutely do no wish to offend the English members of the board regarding my position on Air Marshall Harris. If I have done so, I am quite sorry. Truth be told, even though I firmly believe in the concept of Strategic Bombing as executed during and since WW II, I also believe that you had...
  14. German Jets introduced in 1941.

    Again, I must differ with you. Any reasonable review of "Bomber Harris" and his record makes it clear that he had a stunning desire to kill German civilians, even to the point of hurting the military requirements of the allies. I would point you to he refusals to shift his attacks from German...
  15. WI No Brezhnev?

    You may want to expand your reading list. Bribery was widespread in the USSR since Lenin, rampant under Stalin, and continued unabated until the fall of the state. It is now rampant in the USSR's sucessor states, including Russia. Theft of supplies, everything from meat to building equipment...
