Yeah, those air shows are really good, but I enjoyed the millitary parade better; especially the part when they rolled out SGW-era tank replicas before their modern sucessors.
Tank exhibition was very cool too, but I suppose dad infected kid-me with his airplane enthusiasm. An especially fond memory was the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Pact in 2000, when the various AP national aerobatic teams staged a combined exhibition: the EL Euro Arrows, the US Blue Angels, the UK Red Devils, and the Canadian Showbirds. In hindsight, it was especially meaningful to see all of them performing together since the AP was soon to flex its air power muscles (again) in the coming Second Gulf War.
I agree, but I would also put Israel up there behind Britain. An interesting thing to note in your post is that Canada is the only country named that isn`t a member of the Superbomb club.
Agreed about the place of Israel in the military pecking order. I was just oblivious of them.

Israel has been relatively off the radar since the Fall and the Iran-UAR War aligned the UAR with the West and put an end to Arab-Israel armed clashes. It shall be decades before Arab countries and Israel may be true friends, but I do hope integration for the so-called "Palestinian refugees" minority eventually works in the UAR with Western help as it did in Egypt, and the main remaining source of Arab-Israeli bitterness may abate.
After all, Egypt did successully integrate those refugees (and all the ones that fled Europeanization and the failure of the Arab nationalist uprisings in the Maghreb) long ago, thanks to the economic boom jumpstarted by the Aswan Dam, Qattara Depression Flooding, and New Valley hydroelectric projects (too bad that resettlements helped destabilize the South Sudan area, and turn it into a running sore for Egypt). The UAR has had the usual post-Communist socioeconomic mess to clean up, but they have their oil revenue to rely upon.
Not that the Middle East would become an oasis of peace and stability even if the Arab-Israel feud is put to rest for good. If three wars and a difficult pacification involving Iran were not reminder enough of that, there is the Saudi Revolution.
Honestly, Canada would have had little justification for joining the superbomb club. The USA, EL, UK, Russia, China, India, Japan, Israel, South Africa, and Pakistan all had their own good motives to become SB powers and the Brazilian bid was a wide stretch (also because it pushed Argentina's own SB program). The Iranian ambition was of course squished. IMO the Burmese SB program is a fake from top to bottom, if it were not, the AP and the Pacific Pact would have invaded (or at least bombed) already, China or no China, the Western powers ill-tolerate SB Pakistan enough already. It would have been interesting if Ukraine and Kazakhstan had kept their SB arsenal after the Fall, in all likelihood there would have been no Crimean Crisis and Russia would not have re-annexed Kazakhstan.
I believe you would have to avoid the battle of Khalin Gol for the army lobby to win; even with most of everything thrown in Europe and the Middle east the Siberian army seemed reasonably powerfull.
Well, the "Zhukov dies in the purges" PoD may be a little cliche, but IMO it would have been enough to make Khalkin Gol a tie, and give the IJA lobby the upper hand.
OOC: Make it France, then. So Free Greece, Portugal and Czechia are the only republics in the pre-fall EL.
OOC: Good for me, but in all likelihood Free Greece is not a republic either.
This could be because the incidents happened between what could be called proxy states. If the incidents would happen between, say, Chinese and Japanese military units, the threat of escalation would rise considerably.
Well, some air-naval incidents have involved US and Japanese units.
An East German. They are mostly shown drinking votka for some reason.
As a rule taste in alcoholic beverages may be a mark of political affiliation for Eastern Europeans in SGW and Cold War movies: Communist stooges of the Soviets drink vodka (even if they don't really like it) to ape their masters just like they mouth broken Russian, dissidents and Resistance members proudly quaff beer and wine and pretend they don't know any Russian even if they do. Strangely enough, the stereotype had some basis in reality.
Greece could fit; there was no place from which the Euros could have undertaken a land offensive there, and the Danube offensive never even envisioned the liberation of Greece.
Heh, if the British and the Continentals had made a constructive strategic compromise to combine the Vistula-Danube land offensives with a amphibious landing in Greece, it could have been the best plan of all. With some luck, the Euros could have liberated all of Eastern Euope (except unlucky Finns and Baltics of course), or at least the Soviet block in Europe would have likely been restricted to Finland, Serbia, Bulgaria, East (Old) Romania, and Turkey. Was that option ever seriously discussed and planned back then ? If it did, we might put it in the PoD map instead of the one with the landing in Dalmatia I did.
OOC: Was there anything in OTL we could re-use as a name?
OOC: I dunno if the word would somehow manage to become known to the West early enough, but otherwise 'Holodomor', with an expanded meaning, to encompass all Communist atrocities from 1917 to the Fall, seems like the obvious choice. It is concise, ominous, and easy to spell enough to catch on like wildfire in TTL Western popular culture as a universally-known symbol of evil, just like 'Holocaust' IOTL. Alternatively the 'Scourge' like lukedalton suggested seems quite good too (esp. given the obvious strong parallels the West shall make between the Soviets and the Huns/Mongols).
