So I was reading @Riain Australian TL https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-bureaucratic-reorganisation-tl.393933/page-1
And I noticed a crisis i had never heard of before.
In the early 60's west papua was still on the hands of the duch and Indonesia wanted them out and did several things they would latter try in the Malaysian confrontation (air dropping solders to try starting up a garila war mainly, not really any more successful then during the confrontation to). But Indonesia was aperintly ready to launch a 13,000 man invasion gust 2 days! After the duch agreed to give up the island after strong pressure by the US government.
So here's the idea what happens if the invasion happens a week earlier, or the duch government decides to dig in there heals ithere or.
1) do the Australian/ duch forces have the strength to beat back the invasion (i assum they do they had 2 light carriers in the area, then again Indonesia had some new Soviet fighters and bombers)
2) if the invasion is a complete fiasco what happens with Indonesia, dose this butterfly the Malaysian confrontation, can sukarno survive a huge defeat. What happens in the very nations in the area, like Australia, UK, Netherlands, USA.
