Triumph of Nibelung's Ring: Cooperative World War Three Timeline Planning and Gauging Interest.

So for a while I've been pondering a World War Three timeline but the scope of it is beyond my capacities to create.

I was hoping to gauge interest for a cooperative timeline with some broad outlines:

  1. The war starts between 2028 and 2030.
  2. The war is a result of several conflicts snowballing into each other and becoming one conflict later on.
  3. The United States President from 2024 to 2026 is Donald John Trump. From 2026 to 2028 it is JD Vance.
  4. A Democrat wins the 2028 Presidential Election. Undecided on who.
  5. Russia defeats Ukraine with a conditional surrender in 2025 or 2026 after breaking the last of Ukraine's defenses in the Donbass.
  6. The West largely abandons Ukraine by 2025.
  7. Putin dies in 2026 and Russia has a ultranationalist and militarist take charge after a few years of power jockeying.
  8. Iran has nuclear weapons by 2025.
  9. Kim Jong Un dies before 2028 and is succeeded by Kim Yo Jong.
  10. The sides are roughly the stereotypical Eurasian powers of at least China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran vs at least NATO + South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Israel.
  11. The war is NOT a repeat of World War Two; neither side can force an unconditional surrender on the other.
  12. NO generalized nuclear exchange.
 
I mean, if there's no largescale nuclear then there's the issue of pretty much all of the potential combatants on both sides in at least the European front don't have the demographics to fight an attritional war the way Ukraine, or Gaza, has been fought. Conditional surrenders might come quick up to at least the Rhine due to that of the Europeans' part, but Russia's ability to put sufficient boots on the ground to enforce it's will after that is going to be stretched thin long before that point, regardless of whatever propaganda about comparisons to the Napoleanic Wars and WWII the ultranationalists might sell
