if we assume a grand european conflict is more likely than not(Probably the case since this is the post 1900 forum), probably germany since it nearly happened twice OTL.

TNO subreddit will soon be destroyed by the next DLC and the arguments over counterfactual railroad development.

NPP don't win a single election. RD's basically become the only party ala the PRI in mexico and end up winning the cold war but enlightened centrist rule leads to a heightening of the internal contradictions of capitalism so the United State's star begins to wane as USSR and a Socialist India...

Counterpoint: The USA has funded and armed regimes complicit in genocides during the cold war for its own geopolitical advancement and is doing so right now by providing military aid to Saudi Arabia.

Can't doctrine give a trickle back bonus?

If you haven't already, read Robert C. Allen's factory to farm for an orthodox economic analysis of the Soviet Unions industrialization. The author's main takeaway on the early stalin period was that Collectivization was an unforced error, which was probably not even necessary to begin, but the...

Did the devs fix the glitch that forced them to cut england off at the five year mark?

Damn rip to those who have died.

Define too much for US to handle. From a marxist point of view, I don't think any possible cold war would actually end with either party subjugating the other via soft/hard power but rather someone winning by default when the contradictions of their system become too much to handle. I think an...

It's on brand for nazi-larpers that for sure.

Are the student movements actually liberal in the sense they want liberal governance and lassiez faire economics? Or are they just pro-democratic with wildly varying views on how the economy in the reich should be organized?

Also DSR lore is being heavily reworked ATM.

Enough to know that's the information given did nothing to stop the soviets conventional military superiority to slowly dissipate over the course of the 70s and 80s. The USSR could have espionage'd its way into building six nimitz rip offs and that wouldn't change the fact that their...

dear god the levels of boomer in this post are off the charts. How could the soviet union have been at it's strongest after twenty plus years of economic stagnation and lagging technological development compared to the west?

Yeah because sudden surprise attacks by a hated outsider never cause people to rally around the flag. There were people arguing for it OTL. I think you're just falling prey to the just world fallacy.

with one kick the whole rotten structure will come tumbling down, right?

You're only going to dedicate a single throwaway paragraph to the nuclear war? boo

Not really. Extra CAP might butterfly away the sinking of a carrier or two but midway was basically all of the IJNS problems coming home to roost simultaneously.

The Soviet Union's economy didn't start stagnating till the 60s my man. They were doing incredibly well for a country that had essentially been in world war I for 8 years (since there was basically no reprieve between it and the civil war). With the extra twenty million people not dying as they...
