Japan still loses, one way or another. The only likely change is that Japan retains Chishima (Kuril) and Southern Karafuto (Sakhalin) since I assume a Soviet collapse means no Soviet invasion in 1945, and I don't really see any incentive for the USA to hand over those territories to a rump...
Even better, so it's not as...ahistorical, at all. But, surely we can do better than OTL, with only five members. We should include as many of the former Soviet states, with the Baltics as lost causes. Extend membership to other, non-former Soviet countries with historical ties to Russia/the...
Likewise, even if it's always seemed like a long shot. Well, if that's the case, a compromise then? Instead of annexing Central Asia, the Caucasus, as well as Belarus and the Ukraine, why not form an EU-equivalent with them instead: The Eurasian Union (EU)*. The member states remain...
Yeah, pretty much. We basically center our new national idea not on a single ethnicity or culture but on the shared land our people live on: the Eurasian supercontinent.
Even better, it provides a neat geographic opposition to America.
I vote for the Tsarina Nabiullina, obviously.
Depends on the details, in particular, the role of nuclear power thereof. We should support any initiative with nuclear energy at its core, with solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources as ancillaries thereof. Otherwise, we should not...
Will it be enough to fix the institutional issues that are rotting the Royal Navy from the inside-out? Hell, not just the Royal Navy, but the British military as a whole?
Only one? Very well...I vote for le Pen, even without Brexit, Britain's a broken reed assuming things happen like OTL. Between a supposedly-modern carrier breaking down during its maiden voyage and spending the following year in the docks struggling to fix its engine, to nuclear submarines...
Outlandish suggestion for Russia to take: with America being all wishy-washy (if not outright opposed thanks to Evangelican opposition and influence in their decision-making), Russia could take the lead in Human genetic engineering. Imagine a future where no parent ever has to worry about their...
Well, if America leaves NATO we could probably win. We absolutely will if Brexit also includes leaving NATO ITTL, likewise for France under a le Pen administration (which we should totally support). Further undermine potential rival supranational institutions by bypassing them in favor of...
Personally, there's no way either would end without a nuclear exchange. But we'd probably 'win' any nuclear exchange against China. NATO, though? The best we could hope for is mutual annihilation.
Speaking of which, we need a tighter grip on PMCs like Wagner. For starters, they should never be in a position where they could even attempt a coup against us, and second, the Americans' willingness to let their PMCs run with less restrictions than the regular military is an opportunity. That...
That said, I would suggest we try and keep as much of the former Soviet bloc in our orbit. While Poland and the Baltics are lost causes*, the Caucasus and Central Asia less so. In particular, we should support Armenia as much as possible, not only as fellow Orthodox Christians, but also...
I vote no, as it would weaken the central government, and potentially lay the seeds for secessionist movements and provide opportunities for our enemies to take advantage of.
The S-300 would certainly be a nasty surprise for the Israelis if Gaddafi decides to restart/crank up his nuclear ambitions, especially if employed in a combined arms approach with MiG-29s and Su-27s. They do have a thing for preemptive strikes...shame if those F-15s of theirs ran into...
