How could the Buck Rogers timeline come about?

I'm thinking of something like this:
Britain gets out of World War 2 around 1940. Hitler dies in an automobile accident and some saner leader-Goering-takes over and doesn't launch Operation Barabossa. Goering also wisely gets out of the Axis just as the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor and the US declares war on it. Without a two-front war the US doesn't bother to fund the Manhattan Project (though nukes are still discovered by the 50s) and crushes Japan through blockading and bombing. The Soviet Union joins in the war and satellitezes China and Korea while also occupying Hokkaido. The British Empire collapses and the Soviets satellitize India while Pakistan (or some equivalent Muslim state) dallies with Germany). Thus a three way cold war of an Anglo-American alliance, the Third Reich, and Comintern takes place. China eventually industrializes, abandoning Maoism, and begins building economic links with the US and the Reich. The Third Great War happens in 2008 when the Third Reich attacks the Anglo-American alliance with a decapitating nuclear strike. The US responds in kind and a bitter war takes place over the British Isles as the US pushes into Europe. Meanwhile Comintern joins in and destroys the German puppets and invades the Eastern Reich. Berlin falls to Comintern and the war ends with the US devestated. Sometime in the 2030s China breaks away from Soviet control and defeats the Soviet Union in a bloody war with American support. Soon an America-Chinese cold war happens and in 2109 China invades the United States......
