  1. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, we'd actually get more than Droopy in TTL's Roger Rabbit in terms of Tex Avery representation? Due to the sheer likeliness of Disney and Fox sharing the opening logo space, and because a good chunk of his characters are part of the Fox Movietoons. That, and because the film is the first...

    Sam Westwood's Hollywood

    ^^Would have been up sooner, but between having an absolute Hell of a time coming up with some films for 1974 and issues with my apartment building, there was a delay. As usual, thanks to @Guajolote for another awesome poster.
  3. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    Can it be possible without international retribution?

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

    there would be comedy, that one of the roles Zarkov had in the strips, beside mad inventor
  5. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    Zahir Shah was essentially an benevolent monarch who had power within the country but also listened and accepted the requests of population

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    I was thinking of more of a barebones move, with only some of the most important things taken along on smaller to medium-sized boats. You can cross the Bering Strait on boats, that's not a tech issue. (Natives did it all the time historically, it was a trade route). In Alaskan or Pacific...

    Threadmarks: AIP/ International Classics Filmography, Part One, 1971-1975

    ...Peter Brook helmed film, which featured an impressive cast of British stage performers met with extremely mixed reviews and divided the critics. * Murders in the Rue Morgue- Adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe story starring Jason Robards. House Of The Seven Gables- Adaptation of the...
  8. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    Having so much resources can be an hindrance as well, like Congo
  9. 1988 Republican primaries if Reagan resigned over Iran-Contra

    If Reagan is forced to resign that would put Bush in a very difficult spot. He really would not have had time to establish an independent record of accomplishments and legislative victories. He was clearly strong with the Republican establishment from his time at the National Committee and he...
  10. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    (not sure if this change is within the limits of the OP): Well, for higher oil prices, perhaps a greater Gulf War could help (and a very nice timeline describing this scenario: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/lines-in-the-sand-a-history-of-the-gulf-war.279199/). If the Iraqis...

    Become afghan SSR in 1920s
  12. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Holomodor was extremely bad but don't pretend it was unique to the Soviet Union. The British did it in Ireland and India, with several famines in India that were caused by their policies (and forcing farmers to grow cash crops instead of food) possibly killing over 10 million people each - but...

    Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Brezhnev kicked the can down the road, till he kicked off himself. His follow-ons made things worse, leaving Gorby to try and reform a mess that was beyond help before he took the job.
  14. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    I am not sure what you mean by that. The points are simple: a) NATO suspected that the Soviets would use WMDs in a Soviet attack going through the inner-German border. b) Soviet doctrine was quite "liberal" in the use of WMDs to either achieve a breakthrough or stop a NATO counterattack c)...
  15. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    I am also planning for Russian Alaska to be far more focused on by Russia and thus have far more people and area than OTL. Some main things involve the whaling and fur businesses being more focused on and successful (not to mention gold being found in some parts of Alaska and some of the rest of...
  16. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    Back to the original question, these small helicopters are too slow and too small to be survivable in a hostile environment. Vulnerable to machineguns they stand no chance in the face of light ack ack or hand held AA missiles, let alone any enemy aircraft.
  17. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Holomodor was 60 years before that, there were no famines after 1947 and the average Soviet citizen actually consumed more calories than the average person in Western Europe by the 70s. The USSR had many problems, but none of them were fatal until Gorbachev. GDP per capita continued to increase...
  18. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    He sold grain abroad at the same time as Holodomor, this shows malice. There is a big difference between malice and "Things happen". There is no evidence Yeltsin acted out of cruelty or malice. Stalin had little to brag about unless you call doing one thing after another that weakened you before...

    Into a vast graveyard? That's what happens when you confiscate the food and the seed corn from farmers. They die
