Carter's closing statement in the debate really makes me curious as to how US-Soviet relations will develop if he wins the election. Will the earlier part about the Camp David meeting between Carter and Brezhnev be brought up as canon again? If so, then the consequences of the decisions made...

At the very least, not in the capitalist bloc - not in the same form, anyway. The Soviets would definitely try and make the most use of whatever West German industrial assets remain intact after the war. Then again, these auto companies would likely try and move as much of their operations as...

CONTINUITY ALERT!!! I was just re-reading earlier parts of this story when a potential plot hole emerged. Back in part 69, Tikhomirov and Pulikovsky were mentioned as being among the many UIS officials on trial in the Hague. And yet now they're apparently executed well before those trials...

Although maybe this isn't what OP had in mind: Make Latin America into an active theater of combat. In a scenario where Vargas gets overthrown by Plinio Salgado in Brazil, the Axis gets a significant foothold in the Western hemisphere. But the POD for that to happen would probably be the US...

Pretty much this scenario. It's hinted that Western Europe is essentially a capitalist fortress whose colonial empires are being slowly chipped away by the combined Soviet-American push for global communism - essentially a reversal of the OTL Warsaw Pact situation. America going Red is very...

To really make Pyongyang into an East Asian Amsterdam, don't forget to add the legal prostitution into the mix. Oh, and a little more racial diversity could work as well towards building up such a perception. Even so, if yours is a scenario where the North reunites w/ the South and makes this...

With more and more American troops now getting deployed into a quagmire in the making (Seems like Vietnam writ large to me), and your hint at increased Soviet-Yugoslav tensions, is Uncle Joe going to have the Red Army head in the direction of Sarajevo? Also, how are the Italian elections getting...

This scenario is set to happen in Jello_Biafra's Reds! TL. An Integralist Brazil signs a defense treaty w/ the Nazis and forms a New World Axis w/ Venezuela and Peru, all in response to the southward spread of socialism from the UASR. Not sure if there'll be any combat in Australia in that TL.

Damnit guys I thought there was an update! Anyway: Methinks immigration from Western Europe to the UASR will be particularly difficult in this world, since it'll pretty much amount to a one-way trip due to Cold War travel restrictions (at least in non-Detente periods). For intellectuals...

Possibly, but there were other factors which led to Khrushchev's ousting, ranging from his other erratic moves in foreign policy (i.e. the Sino-Soviet split) and resentment towards his domestic policies (some of which was understandable, esp. re: Virgin Lands).

That could work, except for the part about the west coast sliding into the Pacific (that's not how the San Andreas fault operates). But in these kinds of scenarios, it's more likely that the US will bear much more resemblance to Latin America than to Africa or continental Asia.

What do you have in mind when speaking of making Florida fortified? Are you talking about the US military having a strong presence there and always on high alert? If so, here are a few ways to do that: Have the Cuban Missile Crisis get resolved in a manner which allows Castro to keep the Soviet...

Maybe in a scenario where Chairman Mao's regime sinks down to Khmer Rouge levels of brutality (which it could have, as depicted in Fear Loathing and Gumbo), the Soviets would be able to "liberate" China. If North Korea loses its Hermit Kingdom mentality (read: deposes the Kim Dynasty) at around...

Have the ringleaders of the Business Plot put their trust in somebody who's decidedly more sympathetic to their interests than Smedley Butler (who later went on to write War is a Racket), like, say, MacArthur. What - how and why would that happen? As if the guy who wanted to drop nukes on...

Well, the last board member who mentioned that source was a white nationalist nutcase, if that helps you understand why we don't take it seriously. As for OP's subject: Maybe in a world where the Cold War continues to this day, complete with a US that had its Civil Rights movement go downhill...

Indonesia could use a segment or two. After all, they had the world's third largest Communist party up until they were thoroughly slaughtered by Suharto's forces. Perhaps a US intervention there instead of Vietnam? (esp. considering the strategic importance of the Straits of Malacca) I could...

Well, it is later.... The problem with Canada trying to stand up to the US is that it just can't do so effectively. And even if they choose to side with Evil-UK, it's doubtful that the whole country will be up for a fight - especially the western provinces. Regardless of the sensationalist...

I'd like to know how the rest of Europe is reacting to the German revolution/Civil War, and if there's groundwork emerging for a second world war. Also, how is the US viewing Europe's developments? And beyond the industrialized world, how are things developing in the Global south (Latin...

But given the nature of TTL's Cold War, it's doubtful as to whether or not Christian Bale's Reds!verse counterpart would be able to star in the Newsies. But judging from what TTL's AH.com board members say about cinema, that might still be possible. Speaking of Batman, there are a whole...

Short answer: Dystopia Long answer: Well, let's first take a gander at the logistical side of things, shall we? the three big players in the Comintern - the UASR, USSR, and RoC have the advantage in terms of manpower and domestic resource supplies. Besides that, they also have allies in...
