Well, he's not just dead. Or dead. Or mostly dead. He's dead-dead.

Captain X summed it pretty well. :devilish: Possibly....?

Another thing to bear in mind, the Middle East is already pretty explosive (no pun intended) as not only did the USN just recently visit the Iranian Navy with Operation Praying Mantis, the "First Intifada" is going on in the West Bank/Gaza Strip...with the twist in this timeline that the PLO...

Along with quiet backing from "interested parties" in the form of quantities of things that go BOOM...and possibly training from certain men wearing a particular beret when things really do go south...

Thanks for the feedback. The Spetsnaz assault on Jamaran was a bit "make it up as I go along" until I was able to find a bit more info. What I really needed was an idea of the general layout of Khomeini's residence, which is surprisingly small, and the Hussayniya. I thought the...

================================================== Writer's note: This Chapter 6 is actually a part 1 detailing the events in Iran in May of 1988. Some of you may have already read the preview, but as I kept writing this chapter it turned out a bit bigger than expected, so I broke it down...

Some very good observations and points here. The main Soviet strategy in the 50's and 60s was to use the entire NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) arsenal in the event of invading Western Europe. This approach was reputedly heavily pushed by Marshal Grechko (at least according to Victor...

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm almost done with this next chapter, I know I said I'd have this posted last week, but had to get through some ugly details in it first. SHOULD have it up within the next day or two. Just be aware, this chapter's going to be an ugly one. Then again, most...

It's been that long since I made an update to this story, huh? Sheesh. Well, with everything's that gone on, I admit I was a bit discouraged. Oh hell, back to it I guess, lemme see if I get the next chapter with Iran finished this weekend. I did have to make a tweak in the chapter with...

Nope, she's an original character I made up for this timeline.

I know, I apologize folks, it's been a while. I hope to complete "Persian Twilight" chapter of hte story this week or weekend.

It seems the vote was 54 percent Mitterand, 46 percent Chirac. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_French_presidential_election The Communist party had a rather poor result in this election cycle IRL. In this alternate timeline? I would wager they might fare even worse, trying to make...

Heh, well, I'll try to squeeze them in if I can. They will though, play a bigger role in the Stranger Things 1988 story I'm working on and getting reedited (another project I need to hop on) if that helps? I have a favor to ask though. I'm trying to translate English to Farsi, but with...

OH, nothing wrong with sexy Russan woman in that regard. 😁

I appreciate the sports details but we might want to keep that to another thread? The info should be quite useful though, as I said, it's given me an EVIL IDEA or two...

As I said, all in good time...

I have bad news for you. An Evil Idea (TM) may also come visit a certain sports game, or two, in 1988. I won't say more for now... "Twirls mustache evilly"

So many questions! All will be revealed... The Miss USA of 1988 was Courtney Gibbs. I may have her doing USO tours with Bob Hope, among other things. Oh dear....I fear you may have given me an Evil Idea (TM). :devilish:

The South African Border Wars are still raging around this time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Border_War Would there still be interest in pushing for something like the 1988 Triparte Accord in the original timeline? Maybe. South Africa had incurred a lot of casualties from the...

1: I am going to say, yes. The June Democracy Movement was in full swing around this time, don't forget, and the ROK's hosting of the 1988 Olympics is still set for this timeline. Of course, whether it actually happens is another question... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Struggle Neither...
