Are t9-style phones still in common use in ttl? Also good that blackberry is doing good ittl.
Can you please post the news articles as well as the president? I can see the ATL president of our home country dealing with pirates ruining the economy and Moro insurgents strengthening which is a bigger headache for them to crush the insurgents.Yes, the Philippines has seen a battering of deadly climate events in recent years, with many smaller settlements abandoned, but the central government has become too bogged down in a war against Moro insurgents and pirates to dedicate much funding to the issue.
Speaking of which, I wouldn‘t be surprised if the NPA is a stronger force ITTL which could have a serious chance of taking power.Can you please post the news articles as well as the president?

But it might have been prevented as it was in the OTL, given the Philippines still has a close military, economic, and diplomatic ties with the United States but there will be some changes when troubles would even hit home.Speaking of which, I wouldn‘t be surprised if the NPA is a stronger force ITTL which could have a serious chance of taking power.
as with everything else in the TL, yeesh. but very interesting and high quality nonetheless!!!!“而現在,鄉愁是一灣淺淺的海峽,我在這頭,大陸在那頭。"

Good evening. I’ve just gotten off the phone with President Zhang, where I candidly informed him that the United States will not tolerate China’s completely unprovoked aggression and hostility regarding recent actions in the Taiwan Strait. The United States will keep our existing sanctions against China and keep $200 million in Chinese assets frozen as punishment for such a flagrant violation of international law. I also reiterated that the United States would continue to commit to our defense treaties with allies in East Asia, and that U.S Navy assets in international waters would not be removed from the South China Sea.
Keeping this in mind, I believe it is in the best interest of all parties involved to prevent this crisis from escalating into a global war, and as such, we have worked out the beginning of a preliminary framework for peace in the region. While the intricacies and details still need to be worked out, I can proudly say at this time that Taiwan’s vibrant democracy will remain intact and the many freedoms and rights they currently enjoy will continue to be guaranteed for the Taiwanese people, even during the transition and under the new Chinese administration. In exchange, the Chinese government will end its current unlawful blockade and release all unlawfully imprisoned Taiwanese and American citizens from custody. An international commission will also be established in order to monitor the situation in Taiwan and ensure that Chinese authorities are adhering to this aspect of the deal, and the U.S will have permanent representation on this commission. I’ve also been in contact with President Hung of Taiwan, who has signaled her support for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
Under this peace framework, Taiwan will undergo a period of demilitarization and transition for five years before sovereignty transfers to China. All sensitive U.S military equipment, weaponry, and intelligence supplied to the Republic of China Armed Forces will be returned to the U.S, no questions asked, and American inspectors will be on the ground in Taiwan to ensure no American technology falls into the wrong hands.
Additionally, China has agreed to remove all of its military forces from Hamgyeong, end its unlawful occupation of northern Korea, and fully comply with the IAEA’s Comprehensive Plan for the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The Korean people can rest easy as the specter of war and occupation ends on their entire homeland once and for all, for the first time since 1910.
In these increasingly turbulent times, we must choose peace over war whenever possible. While China's depraved aggression in the region is unfortunate and detestable, neither I nor the American people desire the start of a disastrous war in Asia that would result in thousands or millions of causalties. The recent framework I've negotiated will guarantee democracy in the Taiwan region for the foreseeable future and create a lasting peace in the Indo-Pacific.
Thank you.
Yep, Israel in Christ is a country of Black Israelites and Black nationalists.Is "Israel in Christ" a country formed by Black Israelites? And that place down between Mississippi and Alabama labeled Firefighters.... are they an administration of firefighters?
Yes! It was inspired by that, as well as modern prediction sites like PredictIt and Metaculus.this timeline is so fascinating!! always excited with the updates, also just realized the clairvoyant website is a lot like the DARPA FutureMAP/PAM project, is that where you got this particular idea from?
Not really, they faded out in the mid-2010s, although the cell phone market is a lot less uniform than OTL. Touchscreen phones dominate the premium consumer market, touchscreen with additional buttons (like the Key2) are popular in business and government, while stylus phones are popular as a cheaper alternative.Are t9-style phones still in common use in ttl?

Also sports including FIFA and F1.Also, I just remembered I also asked for audience suggestions nearly exactly a year ago, and these included space exploration, geopolitical blocs, and non-US updates, so updates focusing on these things could come in the near future.

This does make me ask does something like this actually occur? Like in some areas I can see amphibian cars being all the rage as it would allow some ability to traverse flooded regions.Just make it like Mario Kart - part of the city you drive, part of the city your car turns into a submersible
