Could someone please remind me of who it was that was supposed to deal with NASA and massacred Clear Lake after the Johnson Space Center was found stripped to the walls?
Sergei Khvostov. None too tightly wrapped to begin with, and he went full Dirlewangr when he found the sign saying "Catch us if you can."
Not even Dirlewanger went Khvostov.

The pastor at our present church in Moreno Valley believes firmly that Khvostov was possessed by a demon.
Some people laugh at the idea. Roberta and I don't.

If you believe in the big guy above, you should consider his counterpart.
It would be nice to think demon possession was the cause, but humans can do great evil on our own.

Oh, I have no doubt that humans can perpetrate evil. But Khvostov did have the Devil's own luck in evading assassination attempts.

Perhaps we should take the In-Character stuff over to the General Discussion Thread?

This might be of interest, and not just for TTL: the first time a Western TV crew was allowed to follow Soviet soldiers in their four-week basic training. It's PBS Frontline from 1986.

Is it not time for a major event in the Red Dawn universe.
Think the Baja War was the last major war i can remember.
We have more things in the real words going on than in this universe.

The situation in the Ukraine is not possible in this TL, nobody in the Caribbean is stupid enough to pull something off… and our characters are getting old.
Matt, what do you say to using Tom Clancy’s short story about US Marines raiding a nuclear plant in Iran?

Maybe something is heating up in the Far East, and now we're all worried about our kids.

Lots of dissatisfied nations dealing with the leftovers of borders getting drawn by foreigners who didn't know squat about local conditions...

Don’t see that myself. Malaysia is part of the FPDA, which means it’s a Western ally.
