ENGLISH PREEMPTIVE

A very weak UK government, beset by riots and worker uprisings discovers a serious Soviet plot to stage a coup of their government. 100s of "Soviet agents" are rounded up and executed and thousands imprisoned. UK suddenly becomes significantly more belligerent on the global stage, and one spring morning the UK government goes superalert, spools up every ounce of military effort and launches a massive premptive strike on Soviet emplacements in central europe. The rest of NATO is along for the ride. NATO achieves strategic surprise, destroying much of the Soviet fleet in port. Red Army in Germany falls back in the face of an aggressive, unexpected attack. Berlin is a mess.

The soviets detonate a series of nuclear weapons as a spectacular show of force (intentionally doing little damage) and issue a nuclear ultimatum. Both sides back down.

tell me about this one: HAWAIIAN ESCALATION
198X, Due to escalating tensions, West Berlin is once again under siege. Tanks stare eachother down at Checkpoint Charley. 'Accidental' gunfire results in a small limited street fights, some intentionally incited by both sides, some unintentional.

The crisis stretches on for a few days, both sides unwilling to step down, but also unwilling to take the next step towards war.

Civilian productivity drops worldwide due to tensions, a few thousand tired soldiers in Berlin hold the world's rapt attention. But nothing happens, nothing major.

Soviet and NATO navies set sail, B-52s circle like vultures outside of Warsaw Pact radar. Super-ready.

Stalemate. A very expensive stalemate.

Suddenly a civilian non-US flagged container ship off of Hawaii is sinking! Reports of torpedoes, crews are reporting submarine sightings everywhere. A few more sink near the Hawaiian Islands, nothing big, nothing vital.

A cat-and-mouse game commences off of Hawaii, US forces hunting Soviet subs. Efficient/quality weapons are withheld from use (nuclear depth charges, etc) and the 'game' continues.

One way to achieve a high over-all level of escalation and still keep each separate act as an act relatively low on the ladder is to retaliate or escalate in a completely different theater from the one in which the primary conflict is being waged, and at a time when the primary crisis is at a fairly intense level. This may be especially escalatory if the second theater is sensitive or potentially vital.

IRAQI SOVEREIGNTY?

198X, Saddam Hussein the newly minted President of Iraq is embroiled in scandal. Ethnic and religious differences in Iraq has lead to serious protests against the Baathist government along with the horrific Iran-Iraq war. An islamic revolution, much like in Iran, burns through the country. After accepting significant US support, Hussein flees the country for Florida and forms a government-in-exile. The (US-backed) Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) is formed out of Sunni hardliners and ex-Baathist officials vs the (Shiite, Iran-backed) Islamic Republic of Iraq.

The Iraq Civil War starts in earnest.

US/UK forces mass in Saudi Arabia, USSR-backed forces mass in Iran (thousands of 'trainers'). Turkey arms up heavily, but refuses to take sides.

Daily air combat US/UK forces vs Iranian (really, Soviet) aircraft over Iraq.

Who will rule Iraq when the dust settles?

the THAI SWITCHEROO

197X, Thailand

The Vietnam war is winding down, USAF forces operating from Thailand continue to pound the hell out of Vietnam/Cambodia. Nixon is Nixoning as hard as can be.

Due to a number of high profile instances of very, very bad PR from US forces stationed in Thailand, Thailand's military is slowly becoming anti-US/pro-communist.

And Thailand's military coups the civilian government with the blessing of King Bhumibol of Thailand who was in secret negotiations with USSR / Vietnam / Burma and retains his title as King even though the government is a military junta with communist characteristics.

US forces are blindsided by this change, and evacuations of US held airbases commence, though 100s of Americans are killed (by thai mobs) and thousands are imprisoned.

Two carrier groups fresh from blowing up Hanoi are steaming towards Bangkok.

197X Mao is Dead! China takes a giant leap backwards (market reforms, significantly less communism!) and the Sino-Soviet conflict blows up and a limited conventional war erupts across the entire Soviet / China border. Mongolian People's Republic stays out of the war at first.

"Communist" Chinese forces are supported by US arms, then US trainers as the war expands over half a year. A lightning strike through Mongolia is sold to the Chinese leadership, supported by limited nuclear arms. The thinking is that if all nuclear weapons use is limited to Mongolia then the soviets will also limit their nuclear weapons use to Mongolia.

A massive Chinese armored attack driving through Mongolian territory triggers a USSR response to also invade Mongolia to counter and support their (light) forces stationed in Mongolia.

Over the next month it really really sucks to be a Mongolian.

VIETNAMESE RETALIATIO

Vietnam, 1969

An enterprising young US marine corporal figures out how to 'fall through the cracks' in the paperwork. He lives on a base, but doesn't fall under any specific command. Since he has nothing to do, he starts a side business pimping girls on base. Viet cong infiltrators catch wind of this and sneak in a number of highly skilled communist woman operators with the next group of girls the sergeant traffics.

The next morning the entire regiment is disbanded and songs of that night are still sung to this day in USMC barracks around the world.
