*chuckles in ex-kgb agent* y’all want any oil?

korean reunification happens under the kim dynasty. the pacific becomes beijing’s lake.

now nobody will bat an eye when vulnerable minorities are brutalized and eradicated to achieve some cishet white christofascist utopian fantasy

i hope i’m wrong

i hate this timeline

the parts of europe that aren’t already under far-right governments fall under moscow’s influence by winter to avoid freezing. china fills the power vacuum left by the US’ reckless feckless withdrawal from the world stage across the global south. of course taiwan falls to the pla

russia has exhausted its forces in ukraine and is not an effective ally to iran, but ukraine is lost as the little remaining attention on supporting kyiv is gone. russia gains because was in the middle east destabilizes oil supplies far enough that sanctions on russian oil are flouted or dropped
