  1. Napoleon Wins Decisively at Waterloo...then what?

    I don't really think it would have mattered long-term to be honest. The rest of Europe was DETERMINED to get rid of Napoleon. Yes, Napoleon winning at Waterloo would have been a setback, but I'm not sure how big of a setback it would have been long-term. France doesn't have the ressources or...

  2. WI: Hitler Wins the War - How Many People Die Before the Reich Collapses?

    Another possibility is that the non-Aryans, instead of being exterminated, are "merely" (please don't read that wrong!) enslaved, leaving the Reich with a substantial workforce...

  3. WI: Hitler Wins the War - How Many People Die Before the Reich Collapses?

    Well, yeah, the regular army is one thing, but the SS? Even Germans had to prove "racial purity" several generations back. Ah, yes, THAT makes a certain kind of sense.

  4. WI: Hitler Wins the War - How Many People Die Before the Reich Collapses?

    :eek::eek: Really?? I'm not saying you're lying, because that would be a pretty silly thing to lie about, but I've never heard THIS. Baltics, yeah, but I thought that Hitler considered Russians about the same as he considered Poles and Jews: As little more than animals?

  5. WI: Hitler Wins the War - How Many People Die Before the Reich Collapses?

    In this creepy TL, what's to say that the Reich WILL collapse? If Hitler wins the war as thoroughly as he needs to in order to implement this madness, I do not see that Germany's downfall will necessarily come in any forseeable future....unfortunately. And yes, the death count will...

  6. WI: A Pagan Emperor during the final revival after Theodosius

    After Theodosius the Great, it's too late. Heck, even Julian Apostata had his work cut out for him, and I'm not entirely sure it wasn't too late entirely for him, either. I think in order to see a pagan revival, you're going to need to remove Constantine the Great from the picture, or, at least...

  7. AHC WI:Protestant Italy

    What Emperor Julian (oh the irony! :D ) said. It isn't ASB in and of itself, but in the OTL setup, I can't see how it could be done. Maybe if the whole "I'm the pope", "No, I'm the pope!", "You two are wrong; I'm the pope"-thing had lasted longer than it had, enough people would eventually get...

  8. Could the USSR win the cold war?

    As the headline asks. And if so, how, and what constitute a victory?

  9. WI: Germans invade the Middle East in WWII

    Now, why didn't I think of that instead?! :D

  10. WI: Germans invade the Middle East in WWII

    I don't see this happening without the intervention of what I have come to learn the forum calls ASBs. The Axis had enough trouble in Northern Africa as it was. Altered circumstances, and luck, MIGHT have resulted in an Axis victory in Northern Africa, and occupation of North Africa and the...

  11. Alternate McCain Running Mates

    That's exactly it right there: He was/is a great public speaker (at least with teleprompters and pre-written speaches), but it takes a lot more to successfully lead a country than being able to give teleprompted and/or prewritten speeches. My opinion of Obama in 2008 was, that it was like taken...

  12. Alternate McCain Running Mates

    We agree that Sarah Palin could definitely be better educated, and that she was a horrible choice as a running mate, but do we have any kind of actual basis for saying that she is unintelligent, or is that simply the old "He/she disagrees with me, therefore he/she is stupid!" rearing its ugly...

  13. Alternate McCain Running Mates

    Am I the only one who remembers McCain as polling decently against Obama until the Palin-fuckup (not one particular incident involving Palin (though there are many), but picking her in the first place)? And, some of his comments later in the campaign on the economy didn't help him. My point...

  14. AHC: Christian Socialism popular in the USA

    If you change definitions, anyone can be anything. We can then make Jesus a liberalist, a conservative, etc. You assume incorrectly. I live in Denmark. However, there isn't a single socialist/communist state left in Europe. The last one collapsed in December 1991. For sure, Europe's systems...

  15. AHC: Christian Socialism popular in the USA

    Ok. I was half-way expecting the "Jesus was a socialist!"-claim, which always grinds my gears. I'm not sure, though, that you can take some precursers to the ideas Marx came out with and say: "The idea of sharing property existed before Marx, therefore socialism is older." Just because certain...

  16. AHC: Christian Socialism popular in the USA

    How....how is socialism older than Marx?

  17. WI : Libya managed to hit Italy with a SCUD in 1986 ?

    NATO's article 6 could be invoked by the Italians, requiring all of NATO to come down like a ton of bricks on Gadaffi. The only way for this to NOT happen, would be for Gorbachov to threaten retaliation, and that won't happen. The guy was interested in easing tensions with the West. Protecting...

  18. AHC: Christian Socialism popular in the USA

    Communities, yes. Which is also why modern America is very much about "communities". What I meant, was that there was very little government help. I should have specified that more, my bad :o But there is no tradition for it. I am not a full-blown "DOWN WITH THE GOVERNMENT!!!! TAX IS...

  19. AHC: Christian Socialism popular in the USA

    Christian socialism is a non-starter in itself. I'm not talking about the "Christian Democratic" parties of Europe, but of the full-blown socialist parties calling themselves "Christians". Socialism has an in-build contempt for Christianity, and all other religion, as the famed "opiate of the...

  20. High Treason In The UK

    Maybe it's because I'm tired, but exactly what does one have to do to be guilty of treason, if attempting to assassinate the Head of State doesn't count?
