Atlanticist World By RvBOMally Watch

This is a quick one, comrades, showing a world where the Americans triumphed in the Cold War. The capitalist dogs in Washington have become masters of the world after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. NATO has moved all the way to the borders of the Soviet Union, subsuming even the former Soviet states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Germany has been reunited, which is starting to backfire on the Americans as they have formed what is effectively a Fourth Reich around the European Union, an organization arising from various Western European organizations but now takes up much of the former Warsaw Pact.



Of course, the Americans prove that their pigheadedness leads only to sorrow. The euphoria from triumphing over the Soviet Union in the 1990s was quickly banished by a demon of their own making: Islamic terrorism. Islamic terrorists attacked the United States on September 11. This led to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, locking the Americans in a quagmire similar to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan IOTL. This has transformed the Middle East into a charnel house, as several states have broken down into civil war. The ruthless Islamic State hopes to form a new caliphate, and has done so through the sword, killing anybody who opposes them and often videotaping it. It is up to Russia and its ally, Iran[1], to re-stabilize things. Wars in the Middle East and Africa have led to a major migrant crisis, which is filling Europe with millions of migrants, in turn causing major societal and economic stress.



The former Soviet Union has been broken down to its fifteen constituent republics, with some further breakaways from that. The Russian SFSR has become the Russian Federation, which has had capitalism and Western mobocracy forced on it. This led to a tumultuous 1990s, until former KGB officials took control to reforge the former glory of the USSR. Like the USSA IOTL, the Russian Federation is a shadow of its former self, not the superpower of yore. However, it is growing in influence, particularly in the mess the Americans made in the Middle East. It even showed that it could go toe-to-toe with the West after the Russians took back Crimea after a Western-backed coup in Ukraine.



America is currently led by businessman Donald Trump[2], who ran on a populist platform to overturn the Western order. Although he is no communist by any means, he is making more demands of NATO, such as payment, which may open up the field for Germany in the future. The Germans themselves speak of a European army. Populist uprisings are happening all across the capitalist world, a natural product of their decadence and their inability to listen to the plight of their people. The British are leaving the European Union and will likely side with the Americans, and the French may follow.



In the East, China has become de facto capitalist, although they are the last major communist power on Earth. They are challenging the West's lapdogs in the South China Sea, which fortunately takes their eyes off Russia. Sino-Russian relations have actually improved, and the two see themselves as backed against the corner of Western imperial dominance. The Chinese are also focusing on turning Africa into a major resource acquisition zone, as their economy grows.



[1] Allies of convenience, sharing a common enemy in America.

[2] While I did this mostly to be funny, I've seen footage of him speaking about politics before WWIII.
