They could probably just say the nazis are here with the freyists. It be enough justification for a docile Warsaw Pact

They don't just need the Warsaw Pact. They want something to use as a political ploy to force wavering nations in the West to sit out the war.
Plus, "Fighting against Nazi aggression" would also make the political decision to use nuclear weapons even harder by the West
The thoughts of everyone reading this. And Semichantsy and his allies, for that matter.
And I suppose you think Armageddon is a masterpiece in comparison?
I think the war may be somewhere along the lines of the TL Lions Will Fight Bears, won't spoil anything for those who haven't read it.
11th commandment, Any thing that michael bay does in cinema is crap.And I suppose you think Armageddon is a masterpiece in comparison?
I'm interested to see where this is going. It is very rare indeed to see a story that is not specifically about the Third World War to actually have it erupt.
Eh, the world won't end. Small detals of this TL say if it were so, the historical accounts of Newt Gingrich ITTL that really IMO seem to have been made from the 1990s would not have been created. And JFK would not have been able to live a long life until the 2000s ITTL.
It may be interesting to see how a non-nuclear WWIII can unfold. Or, it may be interesting that yes, maybe the Soviet Politburo has voted for war, but they won't actually do it, since they can't acquire any cassus belli.
In both cases, the West has to be PRETTY careful about what they'll do next.

The use of nuclear weapons is always political, and the Soviets are moving in such a way to make that political decision as remote as possible. The entire rationale of the war is to cripple their enemies and secure a stable economy for the USSR. They can't do the latter while ruling over a pile of ashes

We'll meet again
Don't know how, don't know when
But we'll meet again
Some sunny day.

So was my dad he would have been in collage around now maybe doing antiwar protests or something.
Not that it matters much now, with a likely war, but I'd like to note that returning to pre-ww2 Polish borders would mean that Poland would take a sizable chunk of Western Ukraine. This would really piss off many ethnic Ukainians and would make Frey look like a neo-imperialist as opposse to a liberator. Better for Frey to jsut propose and independent Western Ukraine if he's gonna be so bold.
Then again Western Ukraine might just want to get the hell out of the USSR.
Not that this matters at all now.
