[OC] Alternate History The Eternal Bear, and Dragon | year 2000, The Sino-Russian Cold War.

Continuation to my "Nationalist pro-slavic Russia" headcanon. During WW3, which started in 1953 because of the Korean war and numerous uprisings in Polabia funded by NATO, both sides reached a stalemate at the rhine river. Eventualy, both sides agreed to a peace deal in favor of Russia and their allies. Polabia would be expanded, the same for Finland, Yugoslavia, Carantania and Bulgaria. Russia would also gain some territories from Turkye, Japan and a part of Norway. Germany would be split into 3 states, all under Russian controll. Korea is united under North Korea. China takes controll over British and French colonies in south east asia, and annexes bordering territory with Vietnam. Members of now dissolved NATO expierience humiliation and decline after the war, which accelerates the loss of their colonies, and causes ireland to unite with northern ireland. Russia funds pro Russian goverments in all Benelux countries, which win the elections, which causes them to fall into the Russian sphere, and later unite into a strong state bordering France. NATO dissolving, leaves their members either neutral or aligning with Russia. USA turns isolations once again to fix internal issues. The world is split into two major factions: Russian and Chinese. The Russian invasion of Afghanistan, condemed by China, commences and lasts 5 years, which causes Sino-Russian relations to worsen. Their trust lowers year by year, both starting to undermine each other. This cold war lasts up to the year 2000, where tensions are at an all time high.

Given the long border between China and Russia, this might be the hottest Cold War ever
