Twlight 2000 starting with a 2020 timeline?

Hello Folks,
I'm curious - much of the original T2K material stems from projections of a cold war that suddenly changed temperature so to speak. That it hasn't happened as written - well, I'm GLAD.

However - suppose we look at things a little differently, and adapt other "stories" or even look at the idea from a different temporal viewpoint (ie today's time line).

In THE LAST CENTURIAN, we have a sort of T2K'esque setting, with a nice Ice Age approaching kind of thing plus an unstable political background making life interesting. Has anyone tried to gear up for something like that?

Today, it seems that Russia is becoming territorial again as it engages in activity designed to not only weaken the NATO alliance, but also set up smaller border nations to fall and possibly become absorbed into a Russian sphere of influence. Turkey seemingly joining Russia or at least disdaining the NATO alliance might be the beginning of what can be described as a free for all in that region, coupled with certain Russian ruthlessness for its own affairs.

How, would you imagine the clash between Russia and the United States and other NATO forces - in such a way as

"You're on your own - Good luck."
