  1. Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    Exploiting cultural identities as a means of maintaining power did not help either state as well.
  2. Surviving Huguenot American Colonies

    I assume King Louis XIV still bans the Huguenots from settling in the New World in 1685 but by then I think the population of the Huguenot colonies would be healthy enough so it could grow naturally in significant numbers.
  3. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    That I don't have a problem with. As long as the story is good I don't care how long you milk it. If Disney handled the SWU as well as it does the MCU I would be fine with it.
  4. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    It's Clancy world. Bush's Russia policy is friendly as he works to help cement liberal democracy there and bring the vanquished into the global economic order.
  5. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I was watching movie 7 in a large, crowded theatre (remember those? Sigh) and the scene came on about smoke and poison gas and I laughed out loud. And was the only one to do so. Not the crowd I should have watched that movie with. OTSH, did not care for it.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    If you derive profit by milking your cow's udders until they bleed, are you effective? Sure, you are. You're also a stinking piece of shit for abusing your cow and then blaming it for its pain and outrage.
  7. WI: No Drug War

    Can you give a definition of "War On Drugs"? The phrase is usually associated with federal drug policy during the Reagan years, but of course the criminalization of recreational drug use predates that by decades.
  8. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I can go with that description. Seems like the bar for a 'woke' movie in this case is being set low enough to trip on though.
  9. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    I like that idea for a match.
  10. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    It’s not an alien Pocahontas. It’s an alien Dances with Wolves. And not having body shames woke. Off the bad guys. That’s how you know they’re the bad guys. To exploit the indigenous people, sure. But then the brother, his buddies - and the scientist running the Avatar program, all refigure...
  11. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Pretty much anything with a Star Wars name slapped on it was going to get a lot of people to see it, particularly since TFA had some intriguing ideas that could have gone somewhere such as "Who are Rey's Parents?". "Who is this Snoke guy and how does he fit in?" , "What is the First Order and...

    If You Can Keep It: A Revolutionary Timeline

    Woohoo! Keep the content coming this is brilliant!
  13. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Or they could just disband the Navy and not pay the US knowing full well the US will have to defend them anyway. This was Canada's naval policy before WWII anyway, with the US defending their west coast and the RN the east coast by keeping the nasties on the other side of the Atlantic.

    A New Millennium

    First time seeing this style, I dig it. With an Empire this big, I can't wait to see them realize their potential and then their interactions with the Muslims...
  15. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Its more Alien Gone with the Wolves, and shares a lot of its "woke factor" with that movie. "The natives are good and should be left in peace without any Americans/corporations trampling all over their lands" seems a pretty "woke" narrative (anything railing against corrupt corporations is...
  16. Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    Yugoslavia under Tito was an equal opportunity destroyer - play nice or *all* involved in a dispute might suffer. Afterwards it startes favoring the Serbs, leading to its breakup. Better management might have seen it survive as a loose federation but some level of at least autonomy compared to...
  17. WI: No Drug War

    So what if there was no War on Drugs? This might be a Chat topic, now that I think of it.
  18. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Depends on what you mean by Woke . Of the top ten movies I would say only Avatar is truly woke.
  19. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    IIRC they were ordered on D-Day to delay the drop for I think it was 30 seconds they were so worried about Blue on Blue They might have well have not bothered - I mean who in their right mind thought that was a good idea? 30 seconds in an aircraft explains the complete missing of the targets...
  20. Charles the Bold born a women

    England would be bad with Henry vi being developmentally disabled or his insanity was inherited from his grandfather Charles VI. There is also the fact Henry VI was probably the weakest King England ever had in terms of character and competence that is saying much since Englands had Kings like...
