And just how widespread is your interpretation? Widespread in Communist circles maybe. - Merryprankster
That isn't fair, as that amounts to discrediting his opinion based on his ideology. If you disagree you can put forward your argument. I'm communist, but I wouldn't belittle your replies to the thread if you put forward a very pro-NATO view. To accuse someone else of twisting the truth in their analysis due to ideological bias is counterproductive.
Anyways, it is impossible that Yugoslavia would intervene. While the Yugoslav army was a significant force, Yugoslavia had little to no war industry to fight the Soviets with (If we're saying that the Yugoslavs will be protecting the Hungarians from the Soviets), and have relatively little urban fighting experience, despite excelling at guerrilla warfare (mainly rural/semi-rural based).
NATO had already started shipping troops home and whilst the Soviets wouldn't really be expecting to fight the US, I believe the Red Army would push aside NATO ground forces relatively easily. I can even see the Russians occupying France, although obviously a Soviet Sealion is ASB.
The West still has naval and air superiority though, and the bombs of course, but I think its a common misconception on this thread that A-bombs are nation destroyers, especially for large nations like the USA or USSR. neither have the capability they would have in the sixties to annihalate every major city of their opponents at once.
But because of Soviet strength in Eastern Europe and the Suez crisis, I think its extremely unlikely that NATO would attack.
