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

    The main problem with most HSR proposals today is that their planners have ambitions for something that rivals the Shinkansen. When a more practical, achievable solution would be to use British mainline railroads, and apply their tactics to various selected regions of the country. Or, embracing...

    It has been discussed already on this thread, with different concepts thrown around.

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

    Did you actually think this was a functional counter argument? Yes, the existing interstate network makes a good compliment to the existing highways, the existing waterways, and the existing railways. They are all of immense economic value to America as a whole. The same can't be said of the...
  4. Israeli preempts the yom Kappor war

    So there where several chances in which the Israeli intelligence services could have figured out that syrea and Egypt where planning for a supise attack on yom kappor but dint do to a combination of legitimately good counter intelligence work by the egyptians and a huge amount of huberus by...

    In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Goering knew what side his bread was buttered on. He was intelligent and "cultured" but knew it all depended on the regime. His fingerprints, needless to say, are all over it in ways a lot of people don't realize - like being the one to form the Gestapo, for one. Though I'm not sure I'd call...
  6. Greece came close to become nuclear power

    what exactly do you expect Greece to do with these bombs? Can't use them, can't reveal you have them, can't make or buy new ones, can't use the cores for nuclear energy. I'd call that thrown away money, and thrown away nuclear material. Unsafely probably.
  7. After Spitfire: what should Supermarine be doing to remain relevant well until 1960s?

    The Attacker should be a clean sheet design, not reuse the wings from the Spiteful. This alone would have a knock on effect to the early 50's aircraft developed from it like the swift. With a clean sheet design and making use of German research it should be possible to have an early F86 / Mig...

    Asia's going to be a bit different (that'll happen with a surviving omani empire, and a collapsed china), but at least it's not africa also africa's because I wanted more nations in the scramble
  12. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    I didn't mean you in particular, I think there's a tendency on this site and in history generally to regard Goering as some sort of Nazi Lite and lump him in with the likes of Keitel or Schacht as opposed to Goebbels and Himmler which really isn't justified. Goering was there from the start and...

    What would Man in the High Castle be like?
  14. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    I agree with this sentiment, Pashtun would need to dominate Afghanistan for it to be stable, anything less leads to instability, Pashtun already have the majority in biggest cities like Kabul and Kandahar with huge populations across other areas in Afghanistan, there is no doubt a lot of racism...

    This one is a map I did for a now defunct Worldbuilding project. It depicts the growth of the Ava (Guaraní) Empire in South America.
  16. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Which is, guess what, why I pointed out not one but three alternate ways of moving goods, not people: the (existing) U.S. Highways, the (existing) railway network, or the (existing) water shipping network. All of which would have required much less investment on the part of the federal...

    Depends on how British respond Given their belligerence will likely start 3rd afghan war

    Could there be a follow-up poll on which of the Democratic candidates, if any, accept the Vice-Presidency?
  20. After Spitfire: what should Supermarine be doing to remain relevant well until 1960s?

    (perhaps not worded the best, but I guess you get it) IOW - have Supermarine make fighters that countries and their air forces/services (including the domestic ones) will be standing in line to buy. No need to play clean - copy whatever the aerodynamical feature is needed, while using British...
