we are still engaged in one border dispute today in Korea - I was meaning conflicts or threats of conflict
and the UN stayed in place on a major bullseye for 40 years during the Cold War - I forgot was it 50 or 60 nukes the Russians had targeted on NYC in the 1980's?
actually I like the one place I proposed in the Pacific - i.e. Tahiti
Its on neutral ground (French territory), good food supply, decent military presence (the French one), access to the sea for sure (since most communication will now be by ship of some sort), and you cant beat the climate
by the way I dont agree with a lot of what is in V2 for one very good reason - the butt kicking it gives the French which sounds much worse than what they took in V1
there is no way that they take that kind of hit from the Russians and not declare war on them - not without some kind of massive coup attempt by a lot of their military who would have thought their govt was insane to take that kind of hit and not go to war. At the very least some of their commanders and units would have probably said the heck with this and joined NATO to get payback, sort of like those who joined the Free French did when the rest of the French military surrendered in 1940.
I dont see a France as described in V2 being able to field in 1998 the forces they sent to the RDF - not when the entire southern part of their country is under mob domination and parts of it are in open revolt against the central government.
The FAR wouldnt be in Africa and the Middle East, it would be in Lyon and Corsica and Strassbourg.
