Spoilers Section 31 ships & props

Khan's old lines about things being 200 years ago seems closer if those events happen closer to the mid-21st century than the end of the 20th century. Also, they remain in "our" future.
 
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow said that the date keeps moving. So there's no reason it can't be pushed back to the '90s for TOS, which takes place after SNW.
4th dimensional conflicts are by definition unpredictable. Alien Nazis in WW2 means anything goes.
 
SNW's "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" already shows that TOS will be different as Khan's birth is moved 40 years later. The Eugenics Wars of the 90s gets bumped to a later date.
And TNG contradicted Spock when talking about World War 3

That is the beauty of "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow". The timeline has already been mucked with for decades resulting Khan's delayed birth and a delayed Eugenics War and still certain events can still happen in the altered future. And since the time mucking is continuously happening every episode (not just SNW's) can be viewed with the lens that time was tampered with (either fixing or messing with) which can explain for any continuity error that we the viewers perceive, IMHO.


Also, they remain in "our" future.

"Our" timeline never had nuclear orbital platforms fall out of the sky on launch or working cryogenics and I'm not so sure that I'd like "our" future to have a guaranteed nuclear war. YMMV. :)

I concur, our timeline is our own.

Just like Trek's timeline is their own.

Other than alot of base pieces of shared history, it has diverged greatly since the start of the mid 20th century.
