Now that you mention it, how does Skynet even lose in the first place when realistically, it should have won?
In the timeline, I explain it by better human tactics and superior human numbers.

That first point can be nullified by Skynet's sheer processing power whereas Skynet can replace loosses while we can't. Sooooooooo.................
Both those points are addressed in my timeline. Basically, there is a difference between computation and thought for the first, and humans start from a much higher base for the second. However, we are getting off topic for the thread.
The Steven King novel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apt_Pupil, has a teenager with psychopathic tendencies losing it after corresponding with a former Nazi. The fact an outwardly normal teen became a serial killer who killed multiple homeless people over several years before going on a 5 hour mass shooting spree after being caught; he had started visiting a hidden (and unrepentant) former Death Camp guard, in the 1970s, would have had massive impacts. It would be harder to blame mass shootings after that on violent media instead of far right radicalisation unlike OTL.
I guess if we are talking about stuff like banning any talk of the Holocaust and media like Wolfenstine because they have Nazis in them that could be the case. If its hunting for surviving Nazis like Mengle and an increased focus on spreading awareness and educating people on Nazi atrocities, I would be supportive.
well, it depend where there were the attacks; assuming it was around the world, or in the northen hemishphere?Anyone has ideas of how the aftermath of War of the Worlds (2005) would look like?

Xenophobia would ensue. Humans would become militant, and a Space Force would be created no less than 10 years early. As to how advanced they may be, well, no idea.Anyone has ideas of how the aftermath of War of the Worlds (2005) would look like?
IIRC, the other country involved in the incident disavowed any knowledge of what happened, so war is unlikely.Top Gun
I've only seen parts of the movie, but I remember that Tom Cruise's character fights a couple of enemy planes and wins against them.
This should have caused an international crisis, especially since it occurred during the Cold War. Based on what I could find, the enemy was intended to be North Koreans, but it was never explicitly stated. Apparently the movie ends in a positive mood without any realization that the U.S. just got closer to starting WWIII (maybe?).

I believe Radchenko was said to be based on the Russian nationalist politician Vladimir Zhironovsky. Correct me if I am wrong.Great movie. There's a disclaimer at the end that says after 1996 sub captains can't launch nukes without the express consent of the President. Presumably that would assuage the anti-nukers?
Bigger issue for me is what Radchenko's actions (he's the "ultranationalist" guy in the Russian Far East who's actions send the Alabama to the Pacific in the first place) do to 1990s Russia. Maybe Yeltsin's strong response gives him more legitimacy in Russia in the mid to late 90s?
1. Speaking of War of the Worlds, I want to bring up a possible aftermath for the 1953 version Ike is president and Khrushchev had recently taken over from Joe Stalin. Would we see a much earlier US/Soviet detente and closer cooperation? What about a combined international space force using reverse-engineered Martian ships and technology?
Especially to the owner of that golf course. He was either involved or completely innocent. It will also change a scene in the film The Irishmen, where Hoffa’s assassination is depicted.Bruce Almighty: I think the discovery of Jimmy Hoffa's body would have some interesting legal consequences a little down the road.

I always assumed Skynet's chief weakness was its own paranoia causing it to cripple its own forces. This is already basically canon, what with T-800s having the capability to be much smarter than they were built in, but kept deactivated to maintain loyalty, not mass-producing T-1000s as basic footsoldier units, Skynet's software running on a single server farm in a bunker rather than a decentralized network among all its machines, having centralized factories instead of going full von neumann killbot swarm, etc. All of these things are meant to ensure Skynet stays in control of its creations and they're all exploitable weaknesses.That first point can be nullified by Skynet's sheer processing power whereas Skynet can replace loosses while we can't.
