    Aw, Gondor is Mexico's ass.

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Congratz to Mr Takei - I hope it is a long a glorious political career! The 1974 Cartoon should be fun when we get there. Hopefully it does not have the colour problems of OTL, and things like the Bonaventure looking like a Connie when it is the 'first warp ship' are avoided. Nixon, esp out...

    WI: Free Italy - a.k.a. Kingdom of Italy in exile as an Allied nation

    I got your point. I'm currently simulating some things with a basic model in Python I've made during Christmas holidays that takes into account manpower, type of division and terrain, supply status and morale plus travel distances (quite a pain in the a.s using ArcGIS indeed) with loss ratio...
  4. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Yeah internet snark aside, he's probably not smarter or more relevantly more aware of the political reality than the combined brains aimed at this problem at the time. Especially when the apparent solution is so simple.

    A Lusophone World

    Yeah, it might. I can't see the US not coordinating with them anyway, to protect Straussner...
  6. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The government was but read the earlier posts it was also a military dictatorship with it's own issues even a nascent communist insurgency, and the US presence even as it was was not popular in the streets.
  7. Would an independent Confederacy have a national sales tax as its main source of revenue instead of an income tax?

    Going to be rough funding a Confederate military---they're allergic to tariffs, which is how the US mostly did things back in those days. I don't see them liking a federal income tax either. They'd probably be stuck making tax assessments against the states---like paying your dues...
  8. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    As said, British intell calculation was the max number of which Germany could build, assuming every trick possible, short cut and resource. A finite number! Independent Any U-boat hyper activity confirms with that. Britain had already diverted every possible before worrying about confirmation,

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Also if i am not mistaken metaxas in otl has bought a number of mules from abroad in order to improve the greek army's logistics in the mountainous terrain were trucks were difficult to use... Ittl greece has enough mules and mountain ponies? Or will she import mules as iotl? A mean sure there...
  10. Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    I say go with John Sherman.
  11. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    With regard to expecting Taft to do not merely slightly but *spectacularly* better in the South than Dewey did (whcih would be absolutely essential to counter the loss of New York) I find that very doubtful. Dewey was deliberately quiet in the campaign about civil rights, in part it was...

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    He probably is more Clever than Beancounter Bob was as SecDef. That a low bar that near anyone could better

    Would an independent Confederacy have a national sales tax as its main source of revenue instead of an income tax?

    They'd need to support a big military for decades at least so they'll need to find a way

    Sihanouk always felt closer to the Reds than the West

    WI: Larry Weiss offers "Rhinestone Cowboy" to Johnny Cash?

    [ On the other hand, his OTL cover of "Hurt" shows he's versatile enough to cover pretty much anything and make it his own ]

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Thailand was staunchly anti-communist enough to count, unlike the weak Laotian and Cambodian governments
  18. Would an independent Confederacy have a national sales tax as its main source of revenue instead of an income tax?

    The Confederate constitution says that the only direct taxes the national government can impose are ones proportional to state populations. Which is basically what the US Constitution says, too, down to slaves counting 3/5s. Neither a sales tax nor an income tax is legal under those rules. Of...
  19. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    It looks like the Kasich-Richards administration is up to a very rough start... Perhaps this will be a boon for the reform party in 2004.
