Nothus posted:Too squeamish to include India, Rhodesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Burma but not squeamish enough to exclude South Africa? Did squeamish become a synonym for racist while I wasn't paying attention?

I knew the map seemed weird but it didn't occur to me that a reddit weirdo would include Alaska and exclude Crown Colonies.

Fantasizing about the white-ruled parts of the empire is one thing, but doing so with some conspicuous omissions is lol

It's a Redditor imaginary map of only the "Dominions" of the British Empire, excluding the "imperial" possessions of the British Empire. Also in this Redditor's fictional timeline, the southern states successfully seceded from the U.S. in the civil war and formed the CSA, but then they had another intra-Confederate civil war in the 1900s or something. Separately, Cuba revolted against their Confederate States occupiers. There is no Soviet Union, and Tsars still run Russia. Google reverse image search will show you some weird rabbit holes

So, if frequency indicates anything, it is easier for Redditors to imagine something like that, than to imagine the Dominions and Commonwealth continuing as a policy absent American influence?

Russia won't have gained experience in modern warfare and won't have time to retool its army?

The handful of Ukrainians I know in the US that aren't computer touchers express a combination of being upset their country got invaded and don't really give a gently caress if their country is joined to Russia in the long term.

The Ukrainians just had an article out bitching about CAESAR as well, and Nexter isn't making the much more reliable LG-1 because France had one factory that can make cannon, evidently.
