I have always pictured the Tailgunner as an opportunistic latecomer to the anti-communist bandwagon. It should be remembered that in 1950, his own congressional career was nearly over and he was facing a big loss in the WI Senate race. Then, one day at a luncheon at Washington's Mayflower...
Politically, Bush Junior is toast. Ditto for Cheney. I can also see a massive purge and forced retirement of the Neocons who suckered Bush Junior as Dubya says "they lied to me and they could lie to any future Republican president". Meanwhile, Chirac and Putin both say "We told you so".
Any ideas for the further commercialization of space flight by the airlines, first use of hibernation on Mars space flights, and the development of AI systems for spacecraft use?
Eagleburger's connection with the Serbs was more closer, actually. He started out as an aide to Kissinger in the early years of the Nixon White House and was also ambassador to a then-united Yugoslavia and was acquainted with its legendary leader Tito (who was actually much respected in the...
Definitely ASB. Cheney never wanted the presidency at all, preferring to be in a position of power where he could pull the strings or control the levers, so to speak. Also, he already had heart issues, so no go for running for office.
I wonder what the former North Koreans now think of the Americans now? Do they still view them as "Yankee Imperialists"? I cna see the former Shinchon Atrocities Museum transformed from an anti-American museum to an anti-Kim family one.
Spain had the most successful F-104 safety record for overseas operators as none were crashed during their service in the Ejercito del Aire. Probably because the sunshine and warm weather in Spain, no doubt.
I have a soft spot for those Frank Capra Why We Fight films including Here is Germany, Know Your Ally Britain, and Know Your Enemy Japan (actually released just before the Bomb was dropped in Hiroshima in August 1945, believe it or not). How would a film called Know Your Enemy Spain be similar...
Should Ford wins in 1976 and messes up big time by 1980 due to the economy and also messing up the Iran crisis, there would be no chance for a Reagan victory in 1980. Instead, we can see one James Earl Carter making a second run for the presidency in 1980 and winning it.....
I was also thinking of the former JSA at Panmunjom. It was evacuated and then destroyed in the early days of the Second Korean War but has now restored as a museum village. I also can envision a massive monument dedicated to those who served at the DMZ from 1953 to 2002. The last line reads...
I remember during the 1976 campaign that Reagan claimed the Panama Canal Zone was sovereign American territory like Texas or the Louisiana Purchase. He said "We built it, we paid for it, and we're gonna keep it". This was strictly for domestic political consumption just to satisfy his...
