Alternate History / Timeline: Invading the US

[tanksoldier]

The way in happened in the original Red Dawn was an invasion from the south from Mexico thru Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. The initial troops were airborne units dropped from aircraft mimicking commercial flight paths. The initial troops are Spanish speaking with Cuban and eventually Soviet advisors.

The fluff at the beginning of the movie specified that the US had been politically isolated. I imagine that communism might have been more successful in South and Central America, NATO May have collapsed or simply have been powerless to intervene. NATO has always relied on the US for logistic support and mobility beyond Western Europe.

The US getting troops to Germany is very different than Germany getting troops to the US especially if the US is busy redeploying all the troops in Europe in 1985 back to the US to fight on home soil... especially if the Soviet’s tell Europe to stay out of it or face invasion once US troops have left Europe.
