My WW3 scenario

[Anarchy666]

I think my future wiki article on WWIII has finally reached its final stages if anyone wants to review it:

Most people can barely keep track of current events. I think you've put everything in a blender and poured it out on a table, like trying to read tea leaves.

Good. That's sort of what I was going for.

During that theatrical event, Khrushchev agreed to remove Soviet missiles if JFK agreed to not invade Cuba.

I wonder if the same outcome might apply to Taiwan: Might the US withdraw its military presence if China agreed to not invade Taiwan?

Doubtful.

Does the US believe in "self determination"? Nope. It believes in "do what we tell you to do".

Plenty of dictatorships were on the US's side in the Cold War.
