So OTL, the US dominated western Europe, but the USSR tended to do better in Asia. What if this was reversed?
My idea is that TTL Warsaw pact would extend all the way to Brittany and Northern Italy, maybe via numerous bungled offensives by the Western Allies?
This scares the US, who then heavily supports the KMT to prevent the Soviets from gaining traction outside Europe. With China as a US ally, Korea and Vietnam are guaranteed US victories.
With mainland Europe under Soviet domination, the US decides that a "North Atlantic" Treaty Organization is basically pointless, and thus goes for a Pacific Treaty Organization, including Japan, KMT China, united Korea and united Vietnam. Britain may be in it too, since there is no way the Soviets could or would take the Island, though they may not want to join for fear of being pulled into an Asian conflict.
Is this scenario even possible? If so, how would this affect the Cold War? Could it help the Soviets last longer, possibly even keep the Cold War going indefinitely, or would it hasten their fall? How would this effect the economies and politics of the US and Asia?
Apologies if this is ASB or poorly thought out, this is my first post.
EDIT: When I say Asia, I mean East and South-East Asia.
