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.

An academic who's apparently famous enough for a wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Cockshott

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.

This is kind of an interesting one because A) Where I was born was still pretty much the frontier 100 years before I was born. It was settled to some degree but there weren't small farms, which is what my family did. B) Neither side of my family was in the U.S. 100 years before I was born. So...

The Iranians aren't going to bend the knee like Qaddafi did. Even if they have the same interest in wiping out Al Qaeda and supporting the new Iraqi and Afghan governments they won't stop supporting Hezbollah, and the Israelis are going to have the same interest they did OTL in puffing up Iran...

I think it's an unfiled Washington Times article from April 2004 with an unnamed source saying something that would have been spectacularly dumb even at the time.

I mean, if we're just making things up rather than talking about things that actually happened, yes. But if we're confining ourselves to facts rather than wild supposition, no.

That's not at all why the Iranians supported the Iraqi insurgency. The U.S. had explicitly said that the Iranian regime was next on the chopping block, so it made perfect sense for the IRGC to do everything they could to make the U.S. occupation fail while the Iranian government was propping up...
