With a POD in 1919, put both the US and the USSR in stronger positions after WWII(or whenever the geopolitics allows for a bipolar cold war).

Well, in my original reality. The US cut it's forces significantly and the USSR declared war. There were some nukes dropped but the USA fell. Most of central Iowa escaped. A couple hundred thousand of us through Camp Dodge. They were after me to use as a symbol of Crimes Against Humanity but what the Soviets failed to realize is that America saves its own.
This should be called Uncle Sam's dilemma(hard to get a wank, hard to get a screw either).![]()
OTL is still an Americawank. The US is the world's largest economy and has the world's strongest military, and it dominates the cultural world. It's just less blatant than it was 70 years ago.Actually the dilemma is that it's hard to avoid a wank and nigh impossible to get a screw. After all: OTL was pretty much an Americawank up until Vietnam and likely through and beyond it as well.
