Join Earth 2005 Alternative! What is Alternative in a time we live in? (URL is - http://s13.invisionfree.com/Earth_2005_Alt/index.php?)

I shall list it -

1.) Another Arab-Israeli Conflict occurs when Israel invades the Gaza Strip again. Now, the Arab Nations and Israel are at the brink of war.

2.) China and the U.S are also at the brink of war when the U.S sells weapons to Taiwan, especially nuclear arms.

3.) The Arab Nations Embargo the U.S because the U.S annexed Iraq.

4.) Korea suffered another Korean War. China and North Korea vs. US and South Korea with help of the UN resulted in a bloody victory of North Korea after it used Chinese support to move to Seoul, then place the South Korean President on gun-point to force him to surrender.

5.) The USSR and Iron Curtain are born. The World Socialist Movement is born with the USSR devouring Eastern Europe and Asia again.

6.) Germany is re-militarizing under the USSR's support, which the US decided not to interfere in. Germany, however, is fascist.

7.) Pakistan and India Clash over Kashmir. Kashmir becomes independent under UN conclusion.

8.) A Chinese-Taiwanese Conflict took place when Taiwan had air-raded the city of Guangzhou. China in responce bombed out the city of Chang-hua , and soon, the UN pressured both nations to sign a formal peace agreement before a war broke out.

9.) Chinese and Korean Nationalism in East Asia with Japanese Nationalism sparked a soon-to-be Japanese-Chinese-Korean Conflict, but the UN is pressuring all three nations to hold out.

10.) The World Socialist Movement is born and the USSR is activating Socialist movements in Africa.

11.) The Cobalt Bomb is introduced to the World as a deadly bomb. It was successfully tested by Britain secretly in the in a Nuclear Facility. The Bomb is preserved in an unknown island in Japan. However, with the Cobalt Bomb, Japanese researchers also had increased the range to it.

Bump.

1) Possible

2) China is far too economically dependent on the U.S. and its allies to go to war over Taiwan. The media looks upon China-Taiwan relations only in trying to make it seem like another nuclear war scenario between two major powers. Taiwan is so economically and culturally interconnected with China that they are practically one country.

3) The Arab nations do not care for Iraq, evident in the fact that they've supported the United States in the Gulf Wars. And there is no way in hell the U.S. will annex Iraq. That is just anti-Bush and anti-American propoganda

4) If China must choose between the U.S. and North Korea, it will probably pick the USA. This is not the same scenario as 50 years ago, and China stands nothing to gain from supporting North Korea. North Korea also does not have the economic or logistical ability to support their military for more than a few weeks.

5) Russia already has enough internal troubles. Considering how hard they fell last time, the communist support base is rather low. Also, most of eastern Europe has joined up with the EU and/or NATO. In any case, I expect to see Russia joining NATO in the next decade or two.

6) There is no way that a communist state will provide weaponry to a fascist state, and that the U.S. and NATO will do nothing about it.

7) Possible

8) Taiwan is in no position to launch a first strike against China. And China wouldn't listen to the UN if they were told not to invade Taiwan

9) Remotely possible

10) It doesn't matter if Russia backs it, socialism in Africa is going to fail, just like every other political, economic, and social idealogy that has taken root there. Even in its prime, the USSR couldn't even set up socialism in Afghanistan, let alone most of Africa. Now Russia is (comparatively) poor, weak, corrupt, and fiscally unsound. Their military is in tatters, their economy is a shambles, and their government is rife with corruption. That can't all change by 2005


Whoever first established this scenario needs to look beyond the common media in thinking up alternative scenarios.
