Here's my question - is it possible to create a situation, with a pod either during or after WWII, that leads to Soviet and American soldiers fighting a war together, either conventional or not, against a third party?
Perhaps a scenario where the Sino-Soviet split occurs but there is no corresponding detente between the Chinese and the US could lead to this situation? China seems like the most likely option for a post-WWII opponent of the USSR and USA - I don't know if anyone else really has the power or motivation to create a sufficient threat.
I got the idea when I was looking at those pictures of Russian and American soldiers shaking hands in Germany, and I thought, "What if they were shaking hands on the banks of the Yalu?" or wherever.
So, what do you think?
