WI: US has to look for new Allies

Yes actually, who says the Soviets have to stretch themselves? They'll probably just make puppets out of Europe, making it cheaper to control, and allowing regions to sort out their own issues.

With that in mind, this TL could be quite interesting, to say the least...

the Soviets ended up funding a lot of it's puppets, simply because their economies were so inefficient. Not to mention, if the Soviets don't garrison some of those nations, they're likely to break with them and go their own way (like Austria and Yugoslavia). Given the choice between Soviet controlled leaders and anyone else, they'll go with anyone else...
 
Perhaps, although that will probably lead to a much stronger Third Block if things go a certain way, which would be much more interesting.
