Side effects include a unified Korea and a non-communist Vietnam (where, hilariously, the USA and China probably allied to kick the French out). All three will be fairly subordinate to China (the "three ducklings").
'Plausible Alternative Careers For OTL Public Figures?'.
For example, maybe JFK runs the family's business holdings or Reagan becomes an outspoken Hollywood conservative along the lines of Clint Eastwood.
JFK's brother survives the disastrous remote controlled airplain anti-bunker raid and becomes president, or Joseph P. Kennedy's attempts to suck up to the Nazis catch up with JFK's political career.'Plausible ATL Careers For OTL Public Figures'.

The election already was pretty close, maybe that is enough to swing the vote in Nixon's direction.But JFK can simply say "I am not my father" and distance himself from his father's pro-Nazi activities.
I meant Japan. Somehow dropped a sentence there.Korea, Vietnam, who's the third one? Russia or Japan? Or someone else?

I said that post-war Japan would get less US support if the USA already has a big(ger) ally in the form of China, and that China would certainly strive to keep Japan in its place.What was the missing sentence?
Due to the events of the day his security detail was jittery and almost shot him ...Oswald shoots him [LBJ] instead of Kennedy.
Because Nixon was a wuss and did not grow a beard.Kennedy was far more photogenic than Nixon,

I've seen this mentioned as fact in various AHC threads.

Looking like that - the Hard Men Vote for Hard Men vote would all be his. And the Women With A Pulse vote too!
Id imagine this is dependent on Japan eventually coming to terms with the fact they were monstrous war criminals during the Second World War. Not exactly easy, considering that their were still alot of fairly high up people in Japanese society who had committed war crimes (One of their Prime Ministers,Nobusuke Kishi, can basically be considered the equivalent of a Reich Komissar, given what he was up to in Manchuria)I meant Japan.

Modern-day Japan gets ISOTd to:
September 3rd, 1945
July 8th, 1853
December 7th, 1941
One description I read of his appearance for the debate was, "pasty-faced" due to too much make-up and the projector lights not helping, I think it melted or something.Nixon looks Middle Eastern and/or Mediterranean with a beard, frankly. Riccardo Nixendo, perhaps?
The most "dependent" thing in this scenario is Japan -- dependent on China's good will! because with the USA as a firm ally and Japan un-important the USA, China can basically go berserk on Japan if they even twitch in a suspicious manner....Id imagine this is dependent on Japan eventually coming to terms with the fact they were monstrous war criminals during the Second World War.

Well I imagine they cant invade Japn, but Trade War would certainly be an option. There is the possibility they just do trade war any way because of Spite. Which leaves Japan in a ditch.The most "dependent" thing in this scenario is Japan -- dependent on China's good will! because with the USA as a firm ally and Japan un-important the USA, China can basically go berserk on Japan if they even twitch in a suspicious manner....
