I am not going to debate you crazy theory yet again. The Canon clearly states America closed its borders. The world was falling apart. West Tek which got most of its money from the American military would not be allowed to work in other countries. It would be like American military companies being allowed to give China and other countries the latest top secret research freely.
America had no reason to have bases around the world. The world told America to screw off and America did the same to the rest of the world. There were no alliances left, not natural resources to protect anymore.
All the good Fallout Tech we know and love came after 2050. American culture did spread before that time, but that was hundreds of years ago and after a global nuclear war, and before that a European wide war with itself and with the Middle East.
I am not saying Fallout can't take place in Europe. But the tech we know and love like Power Armour is American only. No other country had it. I am not going to debate you on that issue because your dead wrong.
Edit: Sorry to yell at you.
No i know its hard for you to debate when you don't have any proof and nothing to back up yore sorry whit!
USA is to day isolated to Cuba and still they have a base their = yes they have foot hole next em
USA is to day isolated to many Arab states but still they operate their = so yes they operate in areas that is isolated!
and if you lock at history a new war-toy or tactics works only 1 time and next time the rest off the known world have pict ot up copy and mace counter mechur on it.
The world was falling apart, and so did USA to!
Private company's seldom do as their government tell them to do, they do what bring in the cach, maybe not to china if they don't become infiltrated by a spy or communist sympathiser, but nothing in practice will prevent them to do it whit the rest of the world spec if they have a office and pree 2050 co- op!
you know i can mack a long long list on way USA have base's world wide, spec that we know they had in China and Pacific and so on....
yes it was 100 years plus of cultural exchange followed by WW3!
and we know china was working on PA don't even try to say any thing ells...
marc well i don't say all tech was global, just that we have no idea howe well spread the tech was, we note even know all USA based company's that made em.
and on top on this you have to ad hove stuffs was spread and produced after the bombs till the next game starts.
