Talk:The Philosophers

I hate to argue with canon, and I realise that this is all fictional, but this doesn't seem quite right to me. Russia, America and China? Working together? In the 1920s? That just seems ridiculous to me. At that time, China was still a rural, percievedly backward, low-importance state (i don't know if the Civil War had started at this point, though I suspect not), Russia was little better, and in the middle of a severe isolationist spell, partly (okay, wholly) due to its communist regime, and Americans are famous for their rabid hatred of communism. I just can't see these countries working together, especcially not at that time.
