Happy May Day, comrades and oppressed members of the proletariat. As we celebrate this wonderful holiday dedicated to the workers of the world, I thought tonight would be the perfect time to discuss what May will hold in store for World War III 1987. In short, most of May will be dedicated to tying up …

The premise of The Next War, as I discussed in the introduction, was to warn that deeper cuts to US defense spending (in 1998 and the years beyond) could have disastrous consequences if the US military was called upon to fight a major war. Given the fact that this book was championed and co-written by …
Real world events from late last week through the weekend really tossed my posting schedule into chaos. Well, as we say in my Italian American family, ‘What are ya gonna do?’ Not much aside from pick myself up, figure out a new schedule and press forward. So, the entire point of this post is to …
Evening, everyone. I’m very sorry for not posting anything this week. I was hoping to rectify that today, but unfortunately, I am still not caught up fully with commitments in my professional life. Events around the world in the past few days certainly haven’t helped. 😊 I am looking to start the posts back up …

World War III: Alternative Endings- Scenario #1: Central Front, October 1980 Author’s Notes: For the duration of this scenario, I will use Blue to denote the United States and Red for the Soviet Union. Also, this scenario, though small, will require a Part II. That will be posted tomorrow. Sorry about that. By the late …

February has given us an extra day this year, so there are 29 instead of the regular 28. It all has to do with the leap year mathematical trainwreck that comes around every fourth year. Either way, whether it 28 or 29 days, February of 2024 is drawing to a finish. Another month in the …
For the week ahead I’m planning to build and post two scenarios that examine alternative endings to a NATO-Warsaw Pact conflict in Central Europe in or around 1987.
