Damn you must be fun at parties..... Do you see the bright side to
anything? Ever?




self-delusion is nopt a good thing.

if true belief was enough then the germans and the japanese would have
won WWII

Change a few things and they would have.



more han a few things.


A few tech developments, loss of the Uk, some bad leadership keeping
their jobs. Change those & reduce US production ability; things favor the
bad guys more.



not very realistic or minor changes.
yeah sure, if the U.S.A had the production capacity of mexico and if the
germans had had a real navy with amphibious capacity and the landing craft
and russia not have designed better tanks and made more of them sure the
germans could have won
its a "and if cows could fly" type of changes.



it reminds me of an article i read in smithsonian years back
to prove that professor langley's first design could have flown some areo
engineers using computers and a wind tunnel tweaked the design
until it would have been airworthy and then proudly announced that it could
have been the first heavier than air flying machine.
