Yeah, yeah, I know, this has been looked at a million times and shot down just as often, but I found something that makes it look like The Grand Finale might not have been as unavoidable.
Basically I was scavenging for tinned food in an old school in the village near me, and I happened upon a history textbook, one about the leadup to the Bombing of Cuba. From what I could tell, 'Butcher Jack' Kennedy might have actually been a little more diplomatic with the Soviets before launching those planes, had he or a few different people made different choices. I can't remember much from it, bloody bandit grabbed it for making fires, but the general idea stuck with me.
Sure, even if we didn't blow everything up back then, it didn't mean we couldn't have done the same five or ten years later, but still though, we might just have lasted long enough to settle things with the Communists without doing what we did. How could the world have lasted through the tensions after 1945, without destroying itself?
Try to hurry up with replies, my bandwidth ration for the month is nearly finished.
