you run into a few problems that exist in nations like Belarus and russia.. 70 years of being IN and APART of the SOVIET UNION... thats 70 years of benefits and a culture and way of life that even if not perfect ( or very far from) is hard to erase .. also they saw the shock therapy taking...

i think the real thing would be more easterward expansion so that their is more earlier continental mix / trade.. create a real russian / byzantine connection where the russians feel fully engaged as a part of the byzantine empire. have them stop the ottoman's together.. and retake italy...

I would like to think it would be something good.. However .. I somehow doubt it... Maybe if they remade conquest and battle ... I would much prefer something more dystopia and dark.. I loved conquest .. I actually liked parts of beneath .. And escape was light hearted fun with...

Stasi win.. However for brutal.. Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria were not exactly the kindest bunch .. The real interesting thing is that they were all interconnected yet independent .. Even as far as to spy upon each other and all.. Stasi win by taking the best of the gestapo and nice...

This thread still has a beating heart? Not doeable or feasible outside of pissing the USA off even more .. Or outside of the Germans having an undersea army that breathes water and swims with fish.. They couldn't even invade England ..melt alone make it over the Atlantic ... Missiles ...

No 9/11 This keeps American spying more secretive .. It's going to happen.. The technology and temptation are just to tempting .. However it may not be so utterly invasive on the domestic front. Recession continues for another year or so.. But rebounds ... Bush is one off and done...

The Soviet Union had strength in certain areas.. However you need to get to the 70,s when they are on par.. Then discover they can't afford it.. And most of thnwarsaw pact I don't think would go along with a war of aggression against the west ..

While I find Israel quite powerful.. It's neighbors are quite week and disorganized .. They look cool on paper but in reality not quite effective ... Israel also has turned itself into a fortress .. The lessons of ww2 and of course the subsequent Arab israli wars intensifies this mentality...

Naturally the Union of soviet socialist French republics

didnt say it would be easy ... :) Three Mile Island could have gotten ugly though.. reactor type or not.. so maybe not full on Chernobyl .. but bad enough to look like fukashima and thats state of the art.. on the soviet side.. There were those that advocated change.. you just...

Considering the U.S. Military is already there .....:eek: And the soviets in the east.. And France at the border .. And we'll Britain as Britain ..

Biggest problem is we weren't sfopping anything ..

And the soviet constitution is quite liberal and very full of freedoms and rights .. Shame like in America no one reads it and it's worth an issue of Pravda at the end of the day.. But hey at least I have toilet paper

It might.. No Afghanistan.. Better leadership .. Hell say Brezhnev goes to that great red banner in the sky earlier.. ( the man was a walking medical disaster after 76-77 ) (as was most of the old guard) They basically had a doctor with him 24/7 I wouldnt say the USSR was doomed.. but it...

yeah just a little sideways stint with that whole national socialism thing .. butt yeah.. good times with the germans ;) but I also look forward to this! American Socialism was quite the thing .. even thought highly of by their peers over here :)

or what if Iran becomes a second Vietnam for America? USSR finally gets some sane leadership who moderate some what .. I will not say just go socialist.. but lets just say that they moderate... America is pissing off the middle east and going into debt yet again.. trickle down economics...

not so sure.. America was licking its wounds.. Reagan was a strange diverse cookie after all you know.. but lets just say for giggles.. things go normal at first.. you have some cuts .. but nothing to serious.. but then say towards the end.. Iran happens.. and it turns into full...

Gorbachev is still a bit away... I'm not sure you get an isolationist USA out Dem rule. economic policy take time to kick in... So the 80's are still the 80s Iran and Arab discontent is still likely.. Some one needs to bridge the soviet gap not sure it would end as well with a soviet...

In a thousand years or 2 thousand they might consider now the Middle Ages :) On a less smart ass note, maintain the balance in the east.. Maintain the trade routes.. Honestly your going to get some form of advancement .. The Middle Ages went so dark after all .. More travels to China...
