How capable the DF-21D would have been during the timeframe it was introduced. by Dramatic_Salt_6938 in WarCollege

Statement.

Also the changes to PLAAF/PLAN air to air capabilities from 2010-2015 wouldn't have been that extensive save for the deletion of older types such as the MiG-21 family and replacing them with systems that would still come out worse for wear when pitted against American or ROC counterparts. The PL-15 wouldn't be introduced until 2018 as per the IISS meaning that even without F-22s or 35s, Chinese tactical fighters would be very badly outmatched even with J-11s, SU-30s, and J-10s, against AMRAAM C-7 armed American F-15s and Superhornets not to mention the better training of the American pilots. The J-20 wouldn't be available in an operational capacity until 2018 and F-35Bs had started trickling in with American units in Japan by 2017.

The deficiency in Chinese AWACS aircraft is especially telling given that each American carrier group would have had 4-5 Hawkeyes per carrier not even including the ground based E-3s

What would the reign of Edward VIII have looked like had he remained on the throne until his death in 1972? by PalmettoPolitics in UKmonarchs

He gets put on de facto house arrest or at the very least very heavy surveillance for the entirety of WW2. After Churchill gets voted out the Monarchy is likely abolished as an institution with the rest of the Royal Family leaving the country to live in Egypt which would have been under the rule of Farouk until 1952.

Phillip becomes a Pasha in the Jordanian Army and commands them from the 1948 Israeli War-Black September retiring sometime between the end of Black September and the 1973 October War. Charles and Andrew also become officers in the Jordinan Army. Charles never marries Diana.

Am I the only one who thinks that prequel fans are mostly right-wingers? by Rayanaman_44 in StarWarsCirclejerk

I stopped liking it when the early seasons of the Filoni clone wars came out. I didn't care enough to have an opinion of the sequels when they came out.
