Alex, you’re a good guy and I appreciate the effort you’ve put into the alternate history community over the years, but I really have to question your judgment. As a fellow person with a very minor administrative role in the internet alternate history community, I am aware that decisions I...

Turns out my take on Lloyd Austin as black Eisenhower was on the money.

I just want to talk about Olympia, okay? Like a Colin Powell, but more up to date? I like the idea but you'd probably have guys having alternate military careers if politics are this different. If you want someone super hip you pick a guy who OTL didn't make a big splash in the Army...

I would normally be a big fan of any TL that mentions Bill Yellowtail as a national political figure but as this President list is a weird intersection of things I am personally connected to I should point out that as far as I know McChrystal being a Democrat wasn't a Bush-era thing but his...

Wait, do you/biaggi go to Evergreen? Because I have a lot to say about Olympia.

This is the skeleton of something really funny. I actually cracked up when I saw the Klan Hood vs Jesus vs Charlie Sheen wikibox, so I suggest you make some more wikiboxes and really flesh this out. I was picturing you posting this on the other site, and starting out acting like you're being...

I don't think it's worth arguing at this point. He's said his piece, I've explained what I understood Skinny to be talking about, and that's all fine. For what it's worth, I read his blog a few pages in and the impression I got wasn't far-right, just that he's cranky neocon who's annoyed with...

I have no dog in this fight and never heard of you until I saw this thread, but the first thing I find when googling your name is this: https://inforos.ru/en/?module=news&action=view&id=111012 I wouldn't use the terms "alt right" or "fash" lightly, but here you are writing on a literal GRU...

I thought about something like this in a France Fights On scenario. With a stronger Anglo-French bond postwar and a weaker Anglo-American one, this isn't really impossible.

I think all of these presuppose a POD before or early in the war. The specific one I mentioned has a POD in 1940.

I played around a little bit with the first one as part of a France Fights On scenario. I thought about making an alternate 1989 NATO overview like the one that's migrated from MicroArmorMayhem to Wikipedia to give an idea of how different Europe and Euro-American relationships would be.

That could be a review of every full-length Turtledove novel.
