Hi Ralan:
That is correct.
BTW, I made a jump today to June 2009, and Kerry was president. It appears that he was re-elected. However, in this timeline Putin had become dictator, and was trying to re-create the old Soviet Union. He had absorbed several former Soviet Republics including Kazakstan and Ukraine. I was only there for less than an hour but I saw on a flat panel TV (Wide Angle) that Putin was no longer friendly with the US and had designs on obtaining additional land.
United Europe promised war if he invaded Poland. Putin claimed part of Finland as SOVIET territory, and he also was trying to install his puppets in former east block countries. He cracked down on any and all dissent. The US was trying to keep Russia from coming to blows with China. It seems that Putin was attempting to aid North Korea with new weapons. The new Premier of China was called Zhang.
Somehow things seemed a bit gloomy on this timeline. Not as many malls, and people were driving small cars.
The US economy was recovering, but nothing like the boom period of the 1990's.
Gasoline was expensive $5.50 a gallon, but no shortages. No talk about health care or social security, so I do not know about those issues. :huh:
McDonalds had an ad for the new McCheeser sandwich with three kinds of cheese, a new McBacon Deluxe, and McFritters. I also saw an ad for the new Volvo Turbo Magnum the 2010 model, it was fresh.
Kerry got the US out of Europe, Asia, & Middle East but new major problems were on the horizon. India was having a military dispute with Russia, (surprise) and PM Rao was able to target his 100 launchers at major "soviet" cities. :angry:
