Hello there!
I'm considering a timeline inspired by SargentHawk's A Man is Finished When He Quits and Gonzo and Nofix's No Southern Strategy. As I've been doing research, I've come up with a question that I'm unsure if it has been answered or not. This specific question is the fate of the Sino-Soviet split that completed IOTL's mid-1960s.
While the U-2 incident in 1960 was a major point, am I wrong for being under the impression that the Cuban Missile Crisis was the last straw for the Sino-Soviet "alliance" or would they take a longer amount of time (I imagine with Nixon most likely intervening in Cuba in 1961 a la Hungary in 1956) to finally break the Sino-Soviet bloc? Furthermore, how would this impact Nixon's attempts at a 1960s Cold War détente?
