The whole bloody film is an anachronistic mess, and a historians nightmare.
Though I did find it a little enjoyable at times.

Yeah I think so the shows TL was always a bit fuzzy and half formed. Season 3 was apparently meant to clear it up a bit.

And the Taliban where trying to buy the the Star wars system of sort.
Iron sky and crisis on earth-x features a scenario where technologically advanced nazi armies invade our world in the 2010s from either space or another dimension
How would society even respond to that?
a Third World War with a nazi threat that wipes out a significant percentage of the population?

Well, the Alt-Right would be dead in its cradle. After the initial shock, the great powers would probably join forces to fight back against this common enemy. The global economy, needless to say, would tank.
Hell
even if the alt-right were to be in power in major countries…the people would drag their leaders out of their mansions and hang them
it would also have a profound impact on America’s race relations and political Overton window
would leftism be even more mainstream than in our timeline?
what about the advanced technology the nazis would leave…that shit will be reverse engineered
post-war America(and earth) will be interesting to say the least

Harry turtledove’s hot war basically managed to create a world war 3 that doesn’t end with the obliteration of the entire human race
But the economy would be completely destroyed…under a democrat no less
ending the era of post-war abundance
And 8 years before the 60s
How the fuck is the political landscape going to look like now?

West wing depicts a liberal president who reshaped the 90s into a more progressive place than in our real life
the implications would be staggering
as Clinton was simply not as progressive as the president in that story
and it was Clinton that solidified that Overton window shift

I was too young to find that show interesting when it was on. What were some of the things that were different?
After recently watching No Time to Die, I'm wondering what the implications are of the world in Craig Era Bondverse. Its obviously a world that's not too different from our own, other than the existence of Bond, but the UK is implied thoroughly to have much more world-wide influence, especially with MI6 and CIA opposing each other and the UK said to be an equal match to the US, Russians and Chinese.
I do wonder why the writing has shown the US to be more antagonistic than previous films.
European fear of neo-isolationism? (It could also be differing US and Western European interests on some world issues)
Tbf a more influential UK Intelligence as a result of Bond does have its own ripple effects that are worth discussing...
In the Star Trek Universe, the Soviet Union never fell or got back again in the 23th Century.
*Star Trek Voyager, episode Future's End (were the crew ends in the year 1996), Paris and Tuvok say that the signal from their ship comes from a KGB Satellite.
There are some contradictions, but there is at least a 'Canon' Timeline of Star Trek with this characteristics.

From what I remember:
The President underwent a medical crisis, the 25th amendment was invoked, the First Daughter was kidnapped by Islamist terrorists from a fictional country, leading to a limited ground invasion.
The US also had their elections in different years, and a Hispanic president is elected in 2006.
I was also really young when it was on, but I watched a lot of it when the pandemic started.
EDIT: I'm also pretty sure they solved the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

All three of them. Quantum, Spectre, and the latest one. They had their claws sunk in most major nations as well, but the UK managed to weather the storm the best thanks to Bond's actions, though Casino Royale and QoS imply the War on Terror of the 2000s still happened.
Yeah it seems that Spectre's gotten their influence down into the US State Department, and M downright chastises Bond for taking a job from the CIA.
That's the biggest one, the UK in Craig Bondverse has it be in a world same as our's, but be at least as influential as it was in the early Cold War. They also manage to deploy a destroyer in the Pacific Ocean very, very quickly. I'm not knowledgeable on if there's British territory there already in OTL, but could this mean that the UK's kept Hong Kong as a port ITTL? Or have leasing rights in Australia? Either way, its a blink and you'll miss it moment, but M briefly says that its not just the Russians and Japanese angry at the UK's deployment in disputed waters there, they're having issues with the USA as well.
Then there's the Nine Eyes in Spectre, rather than Five Eyes of OTL. Nine Eyes is said to include the following countries:
Confirmed members:
Spain
China
France
Germany
Japan
South Africa
United Kingdom
United States
Australia
Ambiguous members:
Italy
With it being specifically listed out as "representatives of the Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, South African, British, and American intelligence services were present at Nine Eyes' inaugural meeting in Tokyo, Japan."
