I had this thought when looking over some recent wars. What would have happened in a world where Yugoslavia had developed a nuclear program similar to Libya's in the 1980's? They develop this program in response to its isolation from the international community and perceived threat from both East and West. When Yugoslavia begins falling apart in the early 1990's, NATO launches afull scale invasion, due to the greater consequences in TTL of destabilization. We end up with a US with a greater commitment to the Balkan region, a greater eye on Europe, a new mission and definition of the European identity as a force for benevolence and good, greater cohesion in the EU, a lessened preoccupation with Saddam, and greater tensions with fellow Slavs in Russia.
