  1. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Yeah 1939-45 clearly a period of time where the words of politicians had no actual ramifications in real life:rolleyes:
  2. The Plantagenet Succession

    Yep. That's the good thing about the second season - I have to recast and age characters. So Andrew fits really well. I had forgotten about him until I saw him in a Doctor Who rewatch.
  3. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    A rough draft of a Plantagent tree where Edward IV lived longer and the Plantagenets got two generations of rich heiress instead of the Habsburgs. I'd love any thoughts or feedback you have. Edward IV Plantagenet, King of England married Elizabeth Woodville Elizabeth Plantagenet, b. 1466, d...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    I agree with Joe Bonkers here as well, but the reason I think California's HSR will work (assuming its completed) is because for the most part the mass transit systems of California's largest cities aren't nearly as bad as they once were and are continually expanding, particularly in Los...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I get the principled stand based on the teaching of Thomas Aquinas. It is somewhat irrelevant to the legality of war and presuppose Christian morality is applicable to the situation. Which would be a wonderful thing if all agreed to it but was not the case in WW2. But then the logical...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    That might be difficult considering only a few hundred bomber variants of the Mosquito were ever built. When your claim is that they wouldn't make moral arguments, the fact they DID is a perfectly valid rebuttal. Your basically just saying, well they made moral arguments, but they were just...
  7. Austria-Hungary consulted italy.

    Exactly what makes that an extreme reading? The myth of unfaithful Italy is obvious. Austria agreed not to occupy territory without a prior agreement. Even temporary occupation required Italy's ok. Nor can Austria support any territorial change injurious to Italy-which giving Serbian...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Francis and Henry conquer the Incas... YES.
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    OK lets look at them 1.) The object must be morally good, or indifferent, as to object, motive, and circumstances The object was to stop the Nazis so in overall terms = good. More immediately it was to reduce the length of the war which means not a only shorter war = less people dying in...
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Hitler wanted to attack France in November 1939, didn't make it possible. Roosevelt wanted to launch Operation Roundup in 1943, also impossible. There were various German Generals who were all for invading Britain in July 1940, likewise not possible. Grandiose plans have a habit of foundering on...

    The Plantagenet Succession

    That works brilliantly! He isn’t the never aging Henry VIII in the Tudor show, not that it would be an issue (Andrew would look more or less the same when the series ends).
  12. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    I mean, if you think about it the US has finally pulled smoking rules up to alcohol rules (minimum age 21).
  13. Little Rock Nine Massacre

    They used another n-word Such a massacre would have advanced civil rights drastically.
  14. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Words are wind, especially in the mouth of a politician.
  15. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Attention spans
  16. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    This occurred to me back during season 1, in particular when thinking of Danielle. First black astronaut from either country on the Moon--not a peep about that. That should have been at least as important given the racial justice social upheavals of the 1960s as Mollie Cobb being the first...
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    i think you can atleast do my proposed flank guards for the bulk of the greek army in albania wich in otl was cut off by like a battalion sized force since there isnt a chance of them retreating before the germans come . Here i propose the flank guards slow down the germans enough that alot of...
  18. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Manchestershire?

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Yeah, trying to make the H2 tank into a shirtsleeve airlock is a bit much. Just thinking about the kind of air pumps you'd need to suck all that air out for each work cycle is worrying. I've no idea what repeated pressurization cycles would do on Hubble, but I doubt they'd be good. Turning the...
  20. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    The death camps run until the surrender in 1945. Why shouldn't they in your proposed scenario? The "Cold War" was after all a cold war because the USSR didn't go Red Alert on europe. And what does the repression of eastern Europe has to do with this? I mentioned that the USSR tried to ensure...
