Indochina - Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Kampuchea, Laos, are all ISOT'ed from November 28th 1983, back to November 28th, 1963. No foreign military personnel go back in time with the Indochinese states, so no Soviet naval facilities in Cam Ranh Bay or other places. Foreign diplomatic non-uniformed personnel, east-bloc, west-bloc, and neutral do go back - at this time there would be none from the United States.
At this time in 1963 it is one week after Kennedy's assassination and Johnson’s airborne inauguration, and I think, the Friday after Thanksgiving. All US, Western and any covert foreign military or civlian personnel from anywhere are magically transported safely back to their home countries to their own or family property
How do the USA, Vietnam, and Soviet Union proceed from here?
Boom- 1963 Vietnam lost to the Commies in a flash at the beginning of LBJ's Presidency. What happens from there? How butthurt is the U.S.? Is it seriously going to try a resurrection of its dead ally? Can it politically afford not to?
I put in a poll asking what the next likely major US troop intervention would be, with Vietnam missed from 1963 onward.
I did not include the Dominican Republic, because I assume that will happen just like OTL in 1965.
I listed a bunch of other third world crises, insurgencies, and. Brushfire wars that might strike the US government as a critical national security emergency.
In the end my vote was for no intervention until Nicaragua, because in all other cases Washington could/would suppose other local powers should handle the situation.
