The V2.2 timeline has issues with the war start in Europe - but in Asia totally believable

So how would you adapt a v1 timeline to the current world situation? I get that v4 is playing in 2000 so you can drop in the campaign stuff from v1/v2 with v4 rules, but it seems like they missed an opportunity for it to be Twilight:2025 by introducing two or three potential timelines... That is - a classic 2000, maybe a 2010 one where 9/11 ultimately led to WW3, and a 2025 or 2030 one where maybe China is a problem leading to WW3...
All that having been said, taking the Fallout/Wasteland approach to timeline and backstory might have been better...
