Ok, first of all it's football hooligans not soccer. :p
Second how exactly would some hooligans rioting cause the collapse of beer and peanuts?
And if this happens it would suck hard, but Id still have wine and cheese, so it's cool.

And even if China didn't abandon the North, that is the Norths only ally so there would be plenty more countries helping out the South.

Djibouti, Africa – 3,500
Kenya - 42[2]
Cairo, Egypt – 52
Sinai Desert, Egypt - Approximately 500 personnel. See Multinational Force and Observers.
Libya

That's fuck all for example here is France's

Ivory Coast 4,000
Djibouti 2,900

France being a much smaller country, with a smaller military budget and probably alongside Britain the only European country that can even come close to the US in terms of military might. It was a legit example, no need for the same old jokes..

There's some truth to that. The U.S likes to do some unsavoury things abroad - but for what it's worth; when its profitable to do so,they provide regional security regimesto keep a flow of commerce and access to vital resources. Pull all American troops out of the Middle East for instance - and observe what the Iranians and Saudis would do to each other. And given the importance of the stability of this region, to the overall global economy.....

Also, pull out of South East Asia; you'll have an escalting security dilemma there as well.

The U.S isn't nearly as important as the Maldives though.

This thread's first page gives me such a headache, I swear.

And every major country would have to fail before global collapse economically, the same for politically. You can't kill everyone off then have one government which can prop up others by staking claims in their markets to further allow their goods to be sell elsewhere.

Hitler's attempted empire would have collapsed, even without the Americans, and France would have regained her freedom. Of course, a few tens of millions of people would have died as well as those who died in our timeline, but the Nazis would have fallen. If anything, the French would have ended up speaking Russian, although I suspect that the British might have stepped in and helped France out at this point.

Not if we remained a neutral country, Hitler had nothing against Americans as a neutral country. And whoever said the British would step in, the British army at the time was not very big but their navy on the other hand was the largest.

That's the most idiotic thing I've heard all day! Hitler only wished to stray away from having the Americans join the war after what had happened in World War I. He knew his forces wouldn't be able to handle fighting them with another enemy so close (USSR), and didn't want to declare war on America until they had enough power to do so (e.g. using conquered European troops). He wanted "world domination" and the rise of the "Aryan race" etc. etc., he would of eventually attacked the Americas there is absolutely no doubt in it.

I said that the Brits would probably save the French from the Russians after Nazi Germany's eventual collapse. And, even before Germany started to collapse, they could still have likely launched a D-Day style landing, even without the US troops, just at a later date, after the Russians had caused more damage.

Actually, Hitler just wanted Europe and, even then, not all of it. No doubt he might have aimed to attack America if he had formed his empire but, as I've said above, that would never have happened. He would have been trying to hold onto too much land with too few men, while trying to keep England and the Soviets at bay.

You forget that Nazi Germany declared war on the US after Pearl Harbor, on December 11th, because of their treaty obligations with Japan. So unless Hitler could have talked the Japanese out of that attack, there was no way the US could stay neutral with respect to the war in Europe.
