  1. Rohingya part of Pakistan, does Myanmar join Indo-Pakistani wars

    Historically (and now) the Tatmadaw doesn't really have the competence to engage in other than COIN (read ethnic cleansing) operations.
  2. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Why? Its 1983. The black population of the US was around 12%. If NASA were to approach this from the perspective of “we need 12% of our astronauts to be black, then thats 24-25, depending on how you want to round.” Not only should a space agency not be selecting astronauts to fill a quota, its...
  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Please pull me into that PM!
  4. Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil isn't murdered?

    Goodness, that's pretty bad. Still, the purging could've been less detrimental to the Abbasid state, right? IIRC Iraq never really recovered from the damage caused by the Zanj Rebellion. How would a delayed anarchy affect things like the rise of the Qarmatians? Also, could the caliphate import...
  5. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    What he said with particular reference to the paragraph I have emboldened.
  6. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Even aside from supply line issues, the climate is much more wooded in Western Europe, and the nations in the West are the most populated. So, I agree very much.
  7. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    Well, at least TTL's America won't have to deal with Custer's son.
  8. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Ferdinand is so adorable. And I think he and Isabella will be very happy together as well.
  9. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Rearming the ships didn't break the naval treaties. It was done after the Washington & First London Treaties had expired and Japan didn't sign the Second London Treaty. Their Tone class half-sisters were ordered as light cruisers with 6.1" guns because Japan was subject to the First London...
  10. Northern Expedition: No Soviet Aid?

    I guess I just wonder how much aid they could provide. Especially given that, apart from Greece and Bulgaria, most would be under CP hegemony at this point.
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    TLDR of my thoughts on the Next British tank. Britain will want a universal/medium tank going forward. They wanted a Medium tank pre war but the treasury and the lack of a suitable engine meant that was not possible. The driving factors for this will be the changing British doctrine placing...
  12. Northern Expedition: No Soviet Aid?

    That is one possibility that occurred to me. How would Chen manage to hold onto power? I haven't been able to find much on how Sun returned to power but from what I can tell it seems that Tang Jiyao, a Yunnanese warlord, was the main force behind it. How would the lack of Soviet support hurt Sun...

    WI: Catholic Church splits apart in the 16th Century

    Originally, in my first thread about this, I had like a lot of anti-popes. But after thinking about, and discussing it, I decided to make most the churches more National and Anglican-style, where the monarch controls the church. The few exceptions would be: 1. Mainz Papacy/ Holy Roman Catholic...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    In America pedestrians should avoid the pavement In the UK Cars should avoid the pavement
  15. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    for all the use battleships will be they might as well be the worlds largest Submarine, a super Surcouf., only less buoyant.....
  16. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Firstly, fantastic TL. However in regards to the People's Republic of the Congo I don't see them dropping socialism simply due to Romanov doing bean counting. They maintained good ties with France throughout their communist period and also maintained the Central African Franc (it was one of...
  17. Delay declaration of war and entry of USA against Germany

    From an earlier thread I remember that the UK's original plan was an invasion more eastward, which may have been possible without US-troops. But anyway, torch was in november 1942. It's nearly impossible to get the US to stay out of the European/NA-theater until then. I really don't see that...
  18. WI: Castilian-Portuguese union instead of Castilian-Aragonese union?

    Would their colonies be joint or separate? Portugal will want them be separate, at least at start. Will the Kingdom be Portugal with Castille or vice versa? Where will the king reside- Lisabon or Toledo? Main port- Lisabon or Seville? Who will be more important- more numerous Castille or will...
  19. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    I have always maintained that you can never have too many Royal Marines Numbers wise its about the same when you take into account the attached units with 3rd Brigade
