Thanks for your Idea Red VS Blue, This TL idea is now on hold while i finish the Dutch Superpower TL. I will start the TL though if i could either get help from other people or if i get bored :).

With regards to how the war would begin, I suspect the war would begin through a combination of factors. Slowly the EU would draw all trade away from the USA, Its Soft Power slowly eroding the USA's strength. Then with the election of a Socialist President (Possibly Brown?) there would be an upswing of radical right wing suport in the US as the population "Blames the Reds". This would lead to the election of a President who had an anti-Europe viewpoint. The war itself might start before the attack on London possibly with it spilling out of a war in Africa between US backed states and an EU backed state.
