  3. The Second Mexican-American War

    42 BATTLESHIPS?:eek: Does the Royal Navy know about this?:) An interesting scenairo. A couple of points: Germany was NOT planning to start WW I. Nobody was. Even if they had been, North America wasn't the place they would want one to start. The only thing the Kaiser could send was...
  4. Anti-intellectualism as a totalitarian ideology in and of itself?

    Well Fred Smith (of FedEx fame) proposed his company as his IIRC master's thesis. He only got a "C". Lots of stuff gets written in thesis form that is done just as paper exercises. The maniacal laughter, however, should have been a clue.
  5. WI: Monroe Doctrine applied to the Falklands War

    You think it's that likely?:eek: I'd expect to find one of Chris' TL "G" dragons perched on my car before any of this actually happened.:p Interesting thought exercise though.:)
  6. Germans on the Volga

    Stalingrad became critically important because both sides decided it was important. It also demonstrated to both sides that Soviet troops could do more than simply withdraw or die in place, that the Red Army could & would take the best that the Wermacht could deliver and still come out on top...
  7. WI: Monroe Doctrine applied to the Falklands War

    Is is only every couple of weeks?:)
  8. WI: Monroe Doctrine applied to the Falklands War

    I think we are on something quite close to the same side here, but to answer your points... In 1982 the average was 94 +/- depending on the specific mission . Once the F/A-18 came into serves (84-85) the number dropped to 85 or so. Today it varries between 75 & 85 as the new Super Hornet has...
  9. WI: Monroe Doctrine applied to the Falklands War

    I alsolutely do not dispute your position regarding the difficulties of the American military in any Anglo/American war (as my previous post makes clear). Regarding the relative strength of American Carrier Air Wings vs. the RAF I would tell you that the Carrier Air Groups match up very...
  10. WI: Monroe Doctrine applied to the Falklands War

    It is true that in a straight up conventional fight that the U.S. is a severe overmatch for the UK (although only the RSF & PRC would be a tougther nut to crack), the Nuclear deterrent is somewhat different matter. RN SSBN's & SSN's are near equals for American designs, this means that RN SSBN's...
  11. No zionist conspricy published

    Please tell us that you do not believe a single damned word of the Protocols.
  12. No gun control in US

    NUNCHUKS! Are you INSANE!!!!!:eek: Simple possession of 'chuks outside of a dojo without a license (which is HARDER to get than a concealed firearms permit) sends you straight to State Prison in California for at least five years. I believe a 1st offense on any other the other ones (except...
  13. No gun control in US

    Applause! Non-gun users seem to think that a firearm is, in & of itself, magic & the path to either Nirvana or Hell (in Kurt's case, maybe both). It isn't. A gun is a useful tool, that's all. You never draw it unless you are ready to kill, point it at anything that you are not willing to...
  14. No gun control in US

    Ironically, the penalty for carrying such a weapon is the same, if not higher, than simple possession of a concealed firearm.:eek: No one ever said that Nanny society laws have to make sense!
  15. No zionist conspricy published

    Jews had been scapegoats for 2,000 years before the Protocols of Zion were ever printed. I doubt that anything would have been different.
  16. American Union

    Wow! Mark the date. I can only say I agree 100% with Tielhard! (Never thought I would type that:p )
  17. Challenge a UK Monarch vetoes Bill

    Isn't the Monarch's right to refuse assent somewhat similar to the American Congress' power to Impeach the President? More of a threat than an actual tool? In the U.S. it's only been pulled out of the holster twice (once in circumstances that both Congress & the President's actions would...
  18. British avoid massacre at Omaha Beach?

    The British were not assigned Omaha for a reason. Partly it was where their Airborne forces would land, but a good part was the Omaha site itself. I believe that they would have faired worse than either the American or Canadians. Not, in any way, due to the courage of their troops or the...
  19. WI: Monroe Doctrine applied to the Falklands War

    I have to ask; do you have any idea what the Monroe Doctrine actually states or who agreed to it BEFORE Monroe announced it? Here is the key sentence - "With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere." The Doctrine pleged...
  20. So What Would You Do If...

    Hate to break it to ya'... Guns no longer work.:eek: Neither do engines, electricity, explosives, steam engines of any kind, including sterling engines, or any technology invented after about oh... 5,000 B.C. Torsion power (e.g. catapults), rebound power (bows), water power (from wheels)...
