Another modern timeline

[pmulcahy11b]

Nice, an interesting read. My only wait...WHAT moment was US special forces supporting Shining Path geurillas wait... WHAT

I don't know much about the Shinning Path movement though I do know some reprehensible things the US government has done in the past but surely they wouldn't give aid to Shinning path would they (must go off and do some research)

Otherwise I liked it.

What really makes me wonder about this is -- would the Shining Path even accept help from the US

No disrespect but history would suggest that the US would support just about anyone under the right circumstances and if it provided some benefit.

THANK YOU!!!

I've been wanting to work on an updated more modern version of the collapse of the world and this is fantastic. Any chance you will updated it with the latest changes including the Nuclear confrontation with North Korea and the Pakistan battle in the SWAT valley

Mohoender has been MIA for a few weeks (He was our third most active poster and his presence has been missed.) If he does not come while this is near the top of the forum I will try to remember to remind him to look over this thread.

I was not convinced myself but after reviewing this I jumped to the conclusion that this was simply the fact of circumstances. After all the shining path is almost dead nowadays (or so it is stated) and a renewed one might have built some new political bases.

Good work. Don't know how I managed to over look it back in December, other than RL was rampant then and all.

The only item I really raised an eyebrow over was the POTUS with congress approval not holding elections in 2012. We were not fully engaged at the time (meaning the nuclear genie was not out of the bottle yet) so unless the POTUS was curtailing all powers and disolving congress, I would see a major civil uprising in the US. We have ALWAYS held elections no matter that we are at war. WW2 is a prime example as the 44 elections were in the middle of the greatest war we've fought. I would only imagine a very unpopular president trying such and it would only make him/her more unpopular. It is unconstitutional, though that does not seem to sway the present POTUS and his cronies in congress. Just a thought.

Good Point. I overlooked this but I'll be interesting in any alternative suggestion.

I'll try to think about it over summer.

Thank you everyone

I have seen some interesting comments.

Grae what would you think of that one instead

In the U.S., the presidential elections are most unusual as both Democrats and Republicans support the president in Office. In the outcome, opposed only by a dozen petty candidates, he is reelected with over 80% of the votes. In the meantime, the heavy losses endured by the navy truly chocked the population and, just after the votes, the secretary of defense is arrested on charge of treason while an unknown Admiral becomes the new Secretary of Defense.

I'm not really sure that it could happen but after all several things in that timeline never happen.
