  1. Challange: Biathlon Big in the US

    Biathlon, ie skiing and shooting is a fairly nice sport to watch according to my mum. The shooting events are game changing so it become exiting. So just randomly, your task is making this sport big in the US.

  2. Possibility Check: Ho Chi Minh in the American Camp

    The Vietnamese declaration of independence was a copy of the American and OSS supported his group during WWII. Some have said it's American mismanagement that drove him into the communist camp. Is it in any way possible to having him joining the American camp or beeing neutral enough to avoid...

  3. Nigeria and the Cold War

    I never figured out how the Cold War affected Nigeria, if it did and if it didn't, how they avoided it. They where pretty ecclectic during the Biafra thingy for example, with both Brittish and Soviet support or at least weapons.

  4. No ICBMs, More or Less Stable World?

    I'v been rereading some Tom Clancey books and it got me thinking. It features a world where Russia and the US got rid of their ICBMs. Still, it features some pretty strange wars. I dubt any of those will happen, nukes or no nukes. Let's say the US and Russia do get rid of their ICBMs for...

  5. WI: Lenin Jr?

  6. WI: Simon Wiesenthal Killed by Revolutionary Cells

    Reading up on the German terrorist group Revolutionary Cells, Wikipedia told me that they planned to assasinate Simon Wiesenthal. While this sounds a bit wacky, what if they did? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Cells_(RZ)

  7. Possibility Check: Cool Things Emerging in South Vietnam

    I think the decolonisation was this huge shift that really changed things that at places created a power vaccum that could be filled with interesting things. I find that interesting, especially if it can avoid the cold war conflict. I read up on the first Indochina war and found that it had...

  8. Possibility Check: Gorby tear Down the Wall?

    The events surrounding the fall of the wall is pretty random. And Reagan's "tear down this wall" speach is iconic but it wasn't Gorby who teared down the wall. What are the odds he does it or at least have somebody do it if the wall don't fall?

  9. DBWE: Soviet Forces Are Evacuating Embassy in Bukarest?

    (Double Blind WhatEver and a world where the Soviet Union survived to pressent day) Journalists are reporting that Soviet helicopters are at the Soviet Embassy. It appear that they are evacuating their staff and possibly loyalist communist party leaders. This is the theird day of the riots...

  10. Posibility Check: Imperial Overreach of Soviet post WWII

    Soviet payed a huge price in lives and destroyed property during World War 2, afterward it took control over half of Europe. At places dispite guerilla wars. So is it possible that they reach a point with to much tasks and not enough resources, say due to larger and more sucessful Western...

  11. More Blekingegadebanden-like Groups?

    Denmark had a fairly professional criminal gang specializing in robberies and sent money to PFLP. They make their opinions known and kept their secret long. What if more groups like this where active. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blekinge_Street_Gang

  12. Possibility Check: Lucky Congo

    I have just picked up King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild and I got more interest then knowledge about it. Where the Congo basin destined for bad things to happen to it due to geography, slave trade and etnic diversity or could things have turned out good?

  13. The Nobel War Prize

    Somebody made a DBWI about Obama winning the Nobel War Prize. It could happen. Well, maybe not for Obama but had Nobel been so inclined or more realisticly, the Swedish army/king/whatever payed for it, we would have a Nobel war prize. So say the Swedish army establish the prize in 1901, who...

  17. Sanya Sink at Sea

    I have been reading Gunnar Ekbergs interesting book, De ska ju ändå dö, so I did some research. Strangely enough, I had a hard time finding information on the incident mentioned in the quote. Anyway, what if the bomb explode at sea...

    Reading a book by a Swedish infiltrator into the leftist movement around 1968, he mention some discussion about setting up a international brigade fighting the Israelis on behalf of some of the Palestinian guerilla groups. Recruiting a whole brigade might be hard but putting together a...

  19. WI: No Bomber Gap Fiasco?

    The Bomber Gap, the belif that the Soviets had more bombers then the Americans, was in some ways funny. The Soviets flew each bomber over the Red Square multiple times during parades thus making the Americans belive that the Soviets had more bombers. However, cold war logic dictated that the...

  20. 9/11: In Iran

    I'm sorry about copycatting but all the earlier posts got me thinking. Al Quaida and their affiliates haven't avoided killing Shia muslims, even attacking their holy sites. So what if the 9/11 gang make a similar attack on Iran? Would they still train in the US? Would they try frame the US?
