While Turtledove's failures in believable world-building in Europe and America have already been gone over let's not forget about Asia.
Remember that in his books Japan took the Philippines before the First World War and and then took Dutch and French Asian possessions immediately after the war...
It looks like Elon may be serious about his absurd third party idea.
I hope he changes his mind. Even splitting the ticket slightly could give the house to the Democrats in 2026, especially with how thin the majority is.
I know that but the meme implies that the leftists who hate Israel want us to fight for Israel for some reason and I responded that the idea is inane.
I am perfectly aware that at the moment there is no expectation or need for us to get involved.
Considering that the leftists who have been trying to destroy the right for years are the most anti-Israel people in the country I have no idea where this meme is coming from.
Hell, many of the same people who tore down our statues are now the ones protesting against the war in Gaza. Do you...
It's no so much what they have done as much as what they believe. Most Muslims believe in a figure called a Mahdi, a messiah figure who will bring paradise and Islamic rule to Earth though the details depend on the sect. The Iranian Shia, who are of the Twelver variety of Mahdist believe that...
I think Israel made the right choice. The madmen running Iran can't be trusted with nuclear weapons. The moment they got them the whole region would go up in flames anyway. At least this way the destruction will probably not go nuclear.
I also don't care that they did it while we were...
This sounds a lot like the kind excuses leftists use when they persecute Christians.
"You can't bake just one cake that celebrates homosexuality? You're an extremist! No first amendment rights for you!"
"You won't say that men can become woman? Why can't you bend your doctrine just a little?"...
Reign of the Fire Lady Dowager by SnakeStaff.
This is an AU of Avatar the Last Airbender where Ursa, the wife of Ozai, murders her husband and takes control of the Fire Nation as regent for her son Fire Lord Zuko. While she is a better person than her husband she is still a warmongering...
Please don't get yourself booted from the site. The Sietch would be lesser without your vigorous criticisms of modern Fallout. I don't want to see the Bethesda shills have everything their own way.
If you feel so strongly about this maybe you should just avoid this topic in the future. No one...
I don't really see the issue here. It's been made clear that you can condemn individuals for their actions. Like George Soros, Doug Emhoff, or whoever.
You can still criticize Israel for actual bad decisions they have made, like how their army and intelligence agencies screwed up October 7 or...
I think Andor works fine where it is. It shouldn't be a main story, but as a side story it does it's job. I like the grit but I recognize that the main movies shouldn't be full of it. But again that's why you have side stories. And it's not like we didn't get stuff like this in the Legends...
I've been wondering, are you planning on rewriting The Eagle and the Bear as well as Autumn Morning? I hope not considering that we're one chapter off from Kimball's big speech but the decision is yours.
Also, Eden and Richardson wanted humanity to be "unburdened by what had been." I see what...
As an American I have to admit that our food sucks. While I hold Europe in great contempt they really are better with their food in some areas. It's one of the few things where we should learn from you. And while RFK jr. is trying to make moves in that direction it's not easy. The entrenched...
While I see the need to use tariffs protect our industries from being hollowed out, the way Trump is going about it is utterly stupid.
We should be basing tariffs on whether other countries tariff us or violations of our intellectual property. Which is what he said he would do. But deciding...
