Yes, sorry about that I'm a bit new to this. The US would theoretically restrain itself to a counterforce strike as per one of the SIOP doctrines, Reagan had changed the US policy to counterforce, mostly using the vulnerable ground based launchers. What Delta has been saying is that its likely...

That's pretty much my assumption. So what of Europe and China? I guess France and the UK would disappear under soviet attack. Were the Russians targeting China in the 90's?

Luckily in this scenario the Russians have a reason to unilaterally cease fire before they could throw everything and the kitchen sink...maybe. Reckon France and the UK would get involved? They probably wouldn't have enough time, same with China.

I believe he was sober in OTL but in TTL i'm gonna leave it a bit more ambiguous. I think its pretty plausible that he'd be tipsy that morning. As for the exchange, I'm limiting it to a counter force strike as the Russians would realize their mistake pretty quickly. I guess what I'm asking is...

Hello! This is my first post so yeah, bear with me. I understand the science behind this one is pretty soft but I've given it a shot. If anyone wants to start a discussion in the other forum to help hammer the flaws in the timeline. Anyway, let me know what you think. The Golden State: Chapter...

Hello! I'm new. I've been writing timelines on DeviantArt for a while now and I wanted to join. Sadly my old Toshiba Satellite died last week and took my original timelines with it so now all I have are the online PDFs. The file is too big to upload directly so here's a link...
