4e Alternative Twilight War Trigger Points

[Raellus]

The following assumes the same starting point as that laid out by the official 4e timeline, until...

The Soviets move to retake the former Baltic SSRs by force (but before any of them can formally join NATO). At that point, understandably shaken Finland and Sweden make serious overtures to NATO re joining the alliance. The Soviets see this as a red line and decide to take preemptive action. The USSR attacks Finland and Sweden, eventually triggering a NATO response, thereby kicking off WWIII.

I came up with this almost a year ago, months prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I certainly hope life doesn't imitate art.
