  1. WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    it couldn't have been worse than Mcado's proposal for a disability, African American homeland in Alaska. Marshall could have been a moderate reformer or an benign dunce.
  2. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    I don't really disagree but, I am curious has anyone seen a primary source that speaks to nuclear armed land based Sam's being primarily intended for use against formations of aircraft ?

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Look after yourself mate, RL issues always take precedence and health issues doubly so, especially now.
  4. How would Woodrow Wilson be remembered without WWI?

    He embodied the well meaning, arrogance of some progressives. A place for everyone, everyone in his place.

    No G harder then Kenny G

    Is Kenny G like this IRL, too? :D
  6. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    I've often believed the survival of the monarchy would prove vital. Nasier Shah, was a moderate, but not a figurehead. Gradual democratization, and benign capitalism, would make success possible both politically and economically.
  7. The Concert of Earth: A Multi-Polar 20th Century

    Early Filipino independence huh? That's interesting. Let us see if Japan can avoid the hurdles of the 1920's that send them down the path of near 3 decades of gamer moments. I can see the Philippines thing actually causing a big upset later on in Africa and the rest of Asia with the people's in...
  8. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    This doesn´t make much sense. After all, NATO expectet the WP to do the same and NATO also assumed, that it would be mostly in the Soviets intersst, to keep the war conventional.
  9. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    As previously noted, Russia is a lot bigger than Norway, not just in land area (relatively unimportant) but also in population--it has about thirty times more people. Meanwhile, Russia seems to earn about four times as much from oil profits as Norway (from a few years ago, to eliminate...
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellaview Yes, Nintendo basically made a lower-tech version of an XBox Live or PlayStation Network service. This is one of those OTL obscurities that could have gotten a better rep in an ATL.
  11. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    Peters early works had some interesting twists and insights. It's a pity he wound up descending into extreme rightist insanity during the course of the 90s and 2000s.
  12. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    1) Fair enough 2) Its manufacturing base was out of the 1930's-1940's for the most part, its population was educated to be sure, oil will only get you so far. The Soviet Union wasn't Kuwait or Abu Daribi with a tiny population.
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    And I forgot to mention... Since 2011 IOTL, New Line's movies have had both the WB shield and New Line's Ladder. So that could count as co-branding right? Plus, many of the newer prints of pre-1994 United Artists films start with both the MGM lion and the UA marble stone logo. And for those old...
  14. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    There are a lot of people in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia who would beg to differ. One afternoon some friends in Slovakia took me to see the bullet holes left from the suppression of the Prague Spring and where one of their friends died in 1968.
  15. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    So you switched from a claim about Russians selling their shares for vodka to what precisely? To comparison of average income to the vodka prices? Firstly, your figures are off. Half a liter of vodka was about ten rubles in the 90s, so average salary of 300 rubles was getting you 15 liters, not...

    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Yup, can confirm. Because they're all owned by the same parent company. One thing you won't see anymore though are Taco Bell/Pizza Hut; they decided that didn't go together for some reason and pulled the Pizza Huts out of the Taco Bells. I know this because I used to frequent one, and people...
  17. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Which is why virtually all the East European Communist countries fell within a year of it being clear Moscow would do nothing if they got rid of them anymore. There is nothing that show fraternal friendship like being told to "get the Hell out" the moment someone can get away with telling you...

    AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    1. The failure of the American air staffs at Midway is legendary with Miles Browning and Marc Mitscher turning in performances worthy of courts martial, with Stanhope Ring being someone I would have tossed to the sharks, and with the entire air department of USS Enterprise I would have rotated...

    How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    Having just recently read Red Storm Rising myself, I really do agree Clancy messed up Soviet deception doctrine. Other than their political covering attempts (and the attack on Iceland) the Russians kinda don't use large scale deception at all. They mostly just stick to the playbook of running...
  20. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    No just the Baltics, Moldovia and Armenia/Georgia voted against the continuation of the USSR, especially the 'Stans didn't want the Union to end, which is why most post-soviet dictators where important dudes from the Soviet time.
