Don't forget Argentina as well, even though they have no direct land border with Peru, the Republic of Argentina has authored League of Nations Resolution 1604, calling for the "Democratic Tawantisuyu" to be liberated from it's "psychotic communist rulers" which passed the League of Nations assembly almost unanimously with Burma being the only country voting against such a resolution and they have taken in 50,000 Peruvian refugees as well. BTW, what do you think of "A Hohenzollern Germany" making Islamic Fundamentalism a major force in the Middle East instead of left-wing nationalism? I think it is quite implausible as the Saudi family was historically crushed by the Rashidis and the Hashemites which results in the current situation of the Emirate of the Hejaz under the Hashemites where their Emir is also the Caliph of Islam and a Rashidi Emirate of Nejd, which is oil-rich and relatively tolerant in it's view on Islam compared to what the hypothetical "Saudi Arabia" from "A Hohenzollern Germany" is described as.

Do not forget that the author of "A Hohenzollern Germany" also has a Islamic republic of Iran instead of the Empire of Iran at war at one point with the Republic of Iraq who we all know is one of the most democratic country's in the Middle East and who would never fight such a war describe in the "A Hohenzollern Germany" timeline. |

He also made Osama Bin Laden, one of the wealthiest men in the world into an evil terrorist who killed 3,000 terrorists in 9/11, that world's analogue to the recent 5/24 attacks on St. Petersburg.

A yes where terrorist fly their planes in the still WTC towers, i do not know if hitting a tower in the center would collapse it, it took a massive bomb in 1993 to destroyed the North Tower of the World Trade Center and killing 600 people. |

It was fortunate that the bomb exploded at 6:11 am, ensuring that most fatalities would be maintenance workers, if it exploded around noon, about 10,000 people would have died, making 5/24 pale in comparison to such a terrorist attack. BTW, so, what do you think was the worst warship built in WW2 by a power aside from France? Was it the Italian "Diocletian" class of Battlecruisers?

I think you can call them the worst ships in the war, they where both sunk when the Imperial Russian Navy entered the Aegean Sea and where they sank both Diocletian" class of Battlecruisers in the Battle of Cape Matapan of 1941 which allowed the Empire of Russia to land troops on the Italian Islands of the Aegean who by 1942 had fallen under Russian control and even today despite Greece attempts are under Russian control as it is a major base for the Imperial Russian Navy. |

Yes, at some points in their hulls, both of them were penetrated by 8 inch shells and the Russian fleet had only one Borodino-class Battlecruiser to Italy's two battlecruisers and one Littorio class Battleship in said battle. Less than 100 men were picked up from each Battlecruiser after they sunk with only 85 being picked up from the Diocletian and 66 picked up from the Constantine the Great and the third Battlecruiser was converted on the slips into an aircraft carrier, the "Aurelian", which proved to be a decent warship and survived the war, albeit in poor condition and was expended in a nuclear test on February 11, 1947.

As far as i know the Italian navy command wanted to have aircraft carriers but they where overruled by Mussolini who made it clear that Italy was a giant aircraft carrier on its own and that battleships where what the Royal Italian Navy needed, only after the Battle of Cape Matapan of 1941 did he change his mind and aircraft carrier where build but by then it was already to late, the Imperial Russian Navy already dominated the Mediterranean Sea and even the Aurelian while a decent aircraft carrier could not change that. |

Considering Mussolini's other decisions, that was unsurprising if arrogant of him to say that Italy was a giant aircraft carrier. And well, the Diocletian played a major role in Italy's sole major naval victory of the war, the naval Battle of Crete, which saw the Diocletian, along with the converted heavy cruiser Palermo, launched a combined air group of 100 planes which softened up the Russian 3rd Meditteranean Squadron, comprised of 2 Heavy Cruisers, 4 Light Cruisers, and 20 destroyers to an attack by the Italian fleet which sunk all but one of the cruisers and thirteen of the destroyers. Also, what do you think is the main threat to the world nowadays as the Silent Conflict peters out as the FWR liberalizes?

I think with the aftermath of the 5/24 terror attack we will see the second war of terror (first one was from 1993 to 2001) start, this will be a major conflict, i hoop not but i fear it will. |

Have you read the timeline "Decisive Darkness"? It's POD is Admiral Darlan dies when his flagship is torpedoed in the Lorient Attack on May 29, 1946 and it results in General Raoul Salan becoming France's leader after Doriot is killed in Marsailles and France fights to the bitter end there. I think it is a dark and great story on what could have almost happened.

Decisive Darkness also features life in France slowly falling apart as the Allies take more French lands, firebomb more cities and nuke Lyon and Caen in addition to Paris. Also, is it me or is concert security a bit lax nowadays with two singers being shot dead in meet and greets in 7 days?

I do not know if security is lax, depends on who the person is who sings, if he or she is ultra famous i would think that security would be super tight. |

Well, the fact that Justin Bieber was shot to death in a concert meet and greet even though he was one of the most prominent singers in the world suggests that there is probably something wrong with how concerts are secured and I think that the trio made the right decision for their fans to carry what they could carry with their bare hands with the exception of cellphones in the concert I attended along with my friend, making the task of the security personnel easier as it would be impossible to conceal a firearm or knife in your bare hands or your pocket. Also, so, what do you think of the fact Decisive Darkness features France break out WW1-era poison gas supplies to attack Allied Armies crossing the Rhine?
