"So the president of the United States just defected to the Soviet Union, uh? You don't see this every day."
The Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau, upon hearing of the public defection of President Alger Hiss to the Soviet Union. Hiss, a figure of the New Deal Coalition that persisted post-WW2 and pursued friendly relations with the Soviets at the expense of relations with the "Conservative" Powers of Great Britain and France. About to be revealed as a long term Soviet collaborator, Hiss fled with his family to the Soviet Union while on a visit to Alaska. This would plunge the United States into years of chaos and witch hunts.

“Despite what the descendants of Atlantis say, all true Greeks know the mouth of the sea as The Pillars of Hercules. Hold this dear, and remember that we play no part in the wars of their ancestors.”
- Socrates
Written by Socrates in 400 BCE, aged 70, from a Neo-Atlantean prison on the aforementioned eighth continent. The contention between the Neo-Atlanteans and the Greeks had been passed down from their ancestors, the Atlanteans and the Mycenaeans, a conflict that had only ended when the V'Kash Mexur volcano erupted in 1283 BCE, devastating Atlantis and signalling the beginning of the Atlantean Dark Age (1283 BCE - 963 BCE), then the First Atlantean Renaissance (963 BCE - 900 BCE), which led to the Atlantean Civil Wars (900 BCE - 771 BCE), before seguing into the Early New Atlantean Period (770 BCE - 500 BCE) and then the Middle New Atlantean Period (500 BCE - 383 BCE). At this time, Neo-Atlantis had been agitating for renewed recognition as a major power, which the Greeks did not wish to do. Instead, they downplayed the Neo-Atlanteans as being narrow-minded idiots, more concerned with petty minutiae - unlike the cosmopolitan and philosophical Greeks. This would give rise to the War for the Mouth of the Sea (399 BCE - 383 BCE), resulting in the downfall of Greek civilization to the Neo-Atlantean Occupation (384 BCE - 100 BCE) before the Neo-Atlantean Empire's own decline into squabbling successor states in 92 BCE.

"Leon Trotsky, GIVE ME BACK MY TROOPS!"
Yelled by General Nikolai Stogov before the battle of Kiev during the Russian Civil War. This was when in the midst of battle a failed coup had occurred in Moscow and amidst the confusion, an incorrect set of orders was send (supposedly) by Leon Trotsky stripping General Stogov of his command. This is seen by historians as the main cause of the loss of Kiev and the beginning of the end of the Bolshevik cause. Though this would mark the beginning of the second phase of the Russian Civil War in which the Monarchists, the Republicans, the Proto-Fascists, and would-be seperatists all turned on one another.
"So I woke up this morning and realized that I hadn't done a proper 'Haul' video in months. Also I had a note from my current bae that even though he thinks I'm pure garbage, he still loves me. Oh, and I might have sleepwalked and tried to eat someone in my sleep."
dammit, ninja’d!
“You know why we turned against Hitler and Himmler? When the Jews took Warsaw before marching on the camps. That when we remembered: the best German Steel has never been pure iron, and we had let a madman steer us into killing the very people who helped keep the Fatherland strong. Our cause was Germany, and the Fuher had turned against it.”
Lenin after being captured and interrogated about Anti-Marxist beliefs in the aftermath of Stalin’s betrayal of The Communist Cause during the Russian Civil War, and his creation of a new merit-based aristocracy. The remaining moderate elements of the Red Army could not win, being reduced to a holding action in far eastern Siberia, eventually becoming a socialist puppet state of Canada.

"That damn Turkish border!"
A common meme used on the Alternate History Federation, an alternate history website. The meme itself originated from a tendency to use the modern Turkish-Arabian border, a line which was created at random and didn't closely follow any of the notable geographic features of the region, leading to frustration among website members whenever it is used in new timelines.
