  1. Coronavirus pandemic strikes in 1960

    "Taking advantage" would likely entail the incapacitated side spreading the virus as best as they can to the other side to deny them an advantage. Everyone loses.

  2. It's A Sad, Cruel World- An Alternate 1930s Timeline

    I would expect multiple states seceding as a result of the coup. Yes, fascism was becoming attractive to many IOTL as a result of the Depression ("Gabriel Over the White House" is a 1933 film that is a good example of this) but it wasn't that popular.

  3. Maximum Japanese Victory

    The only way that would ever happen, particularly in the Western Hemisphere, is if the United States collapses. Japan doesn't have the logistical capacity to mount a large scale invasion of the West Coast and can barely occupy Hawaii with really stretched out supply lines, if then. And unless...

  4. AHC: Have the leader of Aum Shinrikyo become prime minister of Japan

    Exactly as it says in the title. Have Shoko Asahara, the leader of Aum Shinrikyo, a doomsday cult, be elected the Prime Minister of Japan, at any time in the 1990s or later. The Sarin gas attacks never happened exactly as it was in 1995. The challenge is to have the Japanese legislature, the...

  5. The North Star is Red: a Wallace Presidency, KMT Victory, Alternate Cold War TL

    The only way the states plotting against Beria-ist reforms can succeed (if remotely) without getting nuked a la Stockholm is by developing their own nukes.

  6. The North Star is Red: a Wallace Presidency, KMT Victory, Alternate Cold War TL

    All the Soviet Union needs to do is try to destabilize relations between all of the other blocs and cause war. Maybe a false flag attack is in order?

  7. AHC: Have the Symbionese Liberation Army launch a successful coup against the US government by 2010

    Or a revolution that overthrows the US government. Coup or revolution, whichever

  8. AHC: Have the Symbionese Liberation Army launch a successful coup against the US government by 2010

    Exactly as it says on the tin. I recognize it takes many butterflies to do so, but I've more or less given a 40+ year interval in which the Symbionese Liberation Army (tiny but infamous for capturing Patty Hearst in 1973 and brainwashing her into robbing banks) can get powerful enough to launch...

  9. The North Star is Red: a Wallace Presidency, KMT Victory, Alternate Cold War TL

    I would expect everyone will want nuclear weapons to guarantee national security and prestige. Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Ethiopia, Saudi, Iran, Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia, you get my drift. Everybody builds bombs.

  10. The North Star is Red: a Wallace Presidency, KMT Victory, Alternate Cold War TL

    Called it with Sweden! (although I didn't know it was gonna be with the unnerfed Tsar Bomba, Jesus). I'm guessing serious attempts will be made to make Project Pluto fully operational and developed.

  11. The North Star is Red: a Wallace Presidency, KMT Victory, Alternate Cold War TL

    I'm going to put my money on Sweden because they're technically "neutral", yet launched air strikes against the Soviets and made their conquest against Finland excessively bloody. Besides, what better way to keep the other neutral nations in line?

  12. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Nope. The Soviets are busy focusing on their MBA style communism and withdrew from Afghanistan (if I remember correctly). Why even bother to invade the now-CSA? There's a gun behind every bush, it's just going to be an all-out bloodbath. In terms of realpolitik (not in terms of morality), it...

  13. The Twin Vipers: A TL of the Berlin-Moscow Axis

    ‘Divine Wind’ series of airliners- I see what you did there. ;)

  14. Would you have lasted in 1983?

    Yeah I'm pretty sure my dad would have been atomized and I would never have been born since he was stationed at a Strategic Air Command base in 1983.

  15. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I wonder if faith healing has a significant presence in the CSA instead of actual medical care.

  16. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    If there are literally no jobs because of completely automated production, production is pointless as no one has the money to buy your products.

  17. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Be told that their lack of jobs is a result of lack of faith and God will provide. And if they can't find a job soon enough, they're clearly Satanist, filthy, no good sinners and will be hauled off by the local Holy Battalion to the nearest work camp for "spiritual cleansing".

  18. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Well, that, and it looks like nukes were deployed in Florida, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philly and Trenton

  19. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Yeah, you're right. I can't really say that Wallace is going to live for long... but he will be known as a martyr.

  20. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Sheezus... well, here's the first divergence from the Rummyhorror update a long time back: Pat Robertson dead in an "accident", and Steve Symms as the President now. When will we see the Pershing missiles deployed against Capitol Hill?
