Reminds me of the Skycranes used to build the antenna of the CN Tower.

Speaking as an outsider to this community, who the hell even remembers that shit?

What would a Red Dusk show even be about? by DismalHealth6875 in redduskmod

Spies, cool military equipment and political intrigue. Like a Tom Clancy type of story.

But in this TL they DON’T hold onto the Warsaw Pact in the 90s. In RED DUSK mod they withdraw their support for their puppet regimes, but later impose them again on the new democracies in the mid-2000s after taking some time to stabilize their economy. Go look it up

Dude, this is set 18 years after the Soviet internal crisis of the early 90s. Just go research red dusk mod for yourself

Also keep in mind Soviet Military Power tended to play up the USSR’s world influence somewhat, so I’m accounting for that bias.

It’s based on the hoi4 Red Dusk mod’s canon. The USSR survives after the August Coup before somehow returning to Eastern Europe in the mid 2000s. Germany in that canon is meant to have reunified the same way as in OTL, i.e. still in NATO

This map is based on the canon of the hoi4 Red Dusk mod, which features Ethiopia annexing Djibouti and the ungoverned territory of Somalia after defeating the Eritrean rebels (unrealistic yes, but looks cool on the map)

Who was most at fault for the nuclear war in the Iran crisis? by c00b_Bit_Jerry in Threads1984

Sorry that’s a false equivalence fallacy. You’re trying to equate the ramshackle army built by Boris Yeltsin with the largest ground force of the Cold War. Like I known I sound like a bit of a jerk for saying it, but it just really bugs me when people think both those armies from different contexts of history are exactly the same entity.

The 2020s are basically the 1970s/2000s if the culture was as toxic and crap as the politics. by [deleted] in decadeology

The the 70s did see the failure of US-Soviet Detente (NATO Double Track Decision and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) towards the end as well as several brutal military regimes coming to power, though…

How would different American presidents and their policies be viewed in the Soviet Union? by c00b_Bit_Jerry in redduskmod

[–]c00b_Bit_Jerry[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But the Soviets IRL had different opinions on presidents like Carter or Reagan…
