    USS Hornet Sets Sail Destination Tokyo

    Admiral Yamamoto was the one that drew up the plans, but at the same time he was not overly optimistic. He thought that the US would be demoralized from the string of defeats they had suffered, especially losing both the Yorktown and Lexington at Coral Sea. However, he was also aware that...

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    Everybody with half a brain that was not allied with Germany was very worried about them. So that is kind of a non-issue to even bring up in the first place to be honest. Germany was a hyper-expansionist nation that would attack anybody if they thought they could get away with it. Case in...

    The joke of academic journals

    And for the most part, AI is pretty easy to recognize once you know what to look for. But you are right, there have been AI written papers accepted by "peer reviewed" journals. Far too often, all that matters when it comes to getting published is that what is written is what they want to see.

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    It was called "Lend-Lease". And we offered it to many nations, including the Soviet Union, Mexico, Brazil, France, China, Peru, Belgium, Turkey, Poland, Ethiopia, and in total over 30 nations. And as we were neutral prior to December 1941, if Japan, Germany, or Italy had asked they would have...

    Fallout, the series

    It is not all TV, just that on streaming services. And it is largely for cost reasons. But it has to be remembered that in cases like this, is is not really "8 hours" like it would be on a broadcast TV show. As broadcast episodes are really only 45 minutes of content, those 8 episodes would...

    Fallout, the series

    Well, remember the game essentially started by Interplay as a clone of their game "Wasteland", which is similar but "stolen" by Electronic Arts (that was in the era when EA was going from good company to bad company). And was created by none other than Ken St. Andre and Michael Stackpole. Now...

    Fallout, the series

    I suspect there is also something generational in this as well. I come from a generation where huge amounts of our pop culture from books and movies to pop music was post-apocalyptical in nature. And I have unquestionably noticed that for the most part that is not as common as it once was. I...

    Fallout, the series

    Oh, it's there. But like in the game, it's also often subtle. -spoiler- I admit, I laughed out loud when the BoS character came across a farmer beating the crap out of somebody, and he forces him to stop and let the guy he was beating on get away. And after the guy made his escape, finding...

    Fallout, the series

    Well, they have already confirmed Season 2, and it will likely be released sometime in 2025.

    Fallout, the series

    Well, it is largely an almost absurdist post-apocalyptic game. In short, a world that diverged from ours after WWII. The transistor was not developed until roughly the 2050s, and culture and imagery remained as if it was stuck on the 1950s. Lots of dark humor, lots of blood and gore. The...

    Fallout, the series

    As if that has not happened in the game itself? High luck stat and the right perks will have that happen in the game itself. I just recently decided to restart a session of 4, and had that happen an hour or so back. Two turrets opened up on me, I took them both out and only got hit a single...

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    Actually, he would not. However, Pearl Harbor was also not the actual goal of Japan. Their actual goal in regards to the US was the Philippines. Japan could not have taken the Dutch East Indies and the British colonial holdings with a fortified and growing US presence in the Philippines. It...

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    Lots of doublespeak and projection, and nothing else but that. And you should not project onto me, that is pretty much guaranteed to be a failure. But when most of your argument is trying to project your beliefs onto me, it confirms that you actually have nothing to your claims.

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    Actually, he was an opponent and was strongly against war with the US. He actually spoke fluent English, and lived in the US for many years (such as his 3 years at Harvard). He knew that going to war with the US was folly, and told the leadership as much multiple times. And he had a damned...

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    They were not "antagonizing" them for no reason, and in fact were doing all they could to not do that. Every step was one after another related to the Second Sino-Japanese War. You know, that sounds a hell of a lot like what some people are saying about now. That the UE, US, and other nations...
