    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    ...something. If the President insists on going it needs to be 110% secure and mostly indoors. No sudden route changes, no open topped cars, no walkabouts, no public meet & greet. Photo Ops inside or if something *must* be outdoors with every vantage point or overlook covered, and air corridors...

    AHC: no nationalism

    Political ideology is a good example too, especially in nations where partisan politics isn't neatly divided up along racial/ethnic/religious lines. I, for example, may feel a closer sense of community with someone half the country away (or even in a completely different country), who shares...

    The US adopts the FN Model D in 1937 after a more successful Axis intervention in the SCW

    Hunh? How does a Belgian designed auto-rifle SAW ITTL adopted by the US, support Franco sending more Spaniards to Russia? I mean, I am in favor of doing something about the BAR and this upgrade would be a step in the correct direction, but why not just fix the Ruger and develop squad fire and...

  19. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    Sounds like that’s what OP is thinking based on an earlier reply.
