Explain the AH Quote

"After observing the succesfull sarin attack in tokyo a group of terrorist tried to detonate a similliar bomb in the new york subway with an even stronger bomb homever their plan was foiled when one of the terrorist got into a heated argument with a high ranking member of new york five famillies that end with the terrorist running away but dropping an important note detailing the attack"

A report coming over from MetroNews reporting on how after the horrific terrorist attack caused by a cult in Japan, a similar attempt was tied over in the New York Subway system onlt for a disagreement to result in the attack planning to be redone... and a clue left behind detailing the planned attack, and leading to a long manhnt for the people there. The suspects that were caught did not reveal anything some names that connected it to suprisingly enough, certain American politicians. After a year of investigation, it would be revealed that the whole affair was planned by extremists who targeting Bill Clinton, with some sources claiming certain politicians were aware of the plan and condoned it in the hopes of making Clinton appear soft on crime and thus affect the elections.

The incident would badly damage the Republicans' reputation, especially with the arrest of many of them, including Gingrich. However, the whole ordeal apparently would cause Clinton to unexpectedly resign from office, with Vice President Gore becoming the new President of the United States in 1998. Additionally, the Dems would claim a large hold in House and Senate, which would confirm Paul Wellstone as Vice President, in the hopes of uniting the progressive and centrist wings of the Democrats. The greater push would allow for things like a push for healthcare reforms, starting with the youth at 18 and under and expanding Medicaid and Medicare. Gore would become notable for handling the War in Afghanistan that would see the end of the Taliban and of al-Queda after their attack on the US, resulting in the return of a constitutional monarchy in Afghanistan with the return of Mohammed Zahir Shah. The newstory also solidifed MetroNews as the 4th big news outlet; it was formed after Metromedia merged with MGM Studios to create DMGM Entertainment (the D referring to DuMont television) and followed up on a plan Metromedia was working with News Inc under Rupert Murdoch though the deal fell through after his sudden death after choking on some spotted dick.

"The first President of the Socialist Party of America would prove to be the most patriotic since Washington after he and his party discovered and destroyed a coup attempt involving various Democrats and Republicans working with the KKK, the Bundist movement and Nazi spies to try and overthrow the government."

As we enter the Continental Congress for your State of the Continent address, make sure to shake hands with the first ten or so people you see. Make sure that these aren't the first ten people right at the entrance. Space it out and maybe shake hands with an enemy or two. Makes you look like a man of the people, Mr. President.

A line from the movie We the People, right before the height of the film: President Richard Riley's first speech in the Congress as President. The plot of the film focuses on the story of how Riley, the third party liberal and progressive candidate, defeated the Democratic and Republican candidates to enter the White House in the face of the impending collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc before and after the 1988 US presidential election.

In front of us is Yamato and behind us is Samar Island. We have no space to maneuver, and they have nowhere to retreat, so let's have a good fight! Alt for Norge. Fremover, kamerater. Seieren tilhører oss! (Everything for Norway. Forward, comrades. Victory belongs to us!)

Last words of admiral Knut Hakoonsen before his ship, the Pride of Asgard, was sunk by the Japanese fleet. This was the last in a long series of defeats for the Socialist Republic of Norway, which was then forced to surrender and give most of its Pacific colonies to Japan.

"I defeated your uncle and his fleet at Capri, the first time your father crowned himself. I held Naples for a year, and took Sicily from the Arabs. I smashed General Boulanger on the Alps even though he had twenty times my numbers. So tell me, turncloak: what battles has the bastard of Borgia won that I should fear him?"
 
The Pope, gloating to the King of Naples while explaining why he needs to bow down to his will.

Pope Leo XIV, often called the 'Primus Exercitus Dei' (or 'first commander of the army of God), to Cesare Borgia IX, 3rd Princep of Naples, when the latter asked for the former's surrender. The Pope, an eighty-one-year-old man who had--in his tenure as Pontifex Maximus--battled against Ottoman Turks, Tunisian slavers, Sicilian Arabs, republican and imperial French, first and second Borgian principate, and a plethora of other would-be subjugators of Italia. Praised all-over Europe as the Magister Militum and the unquestioned patriarch of Italia, Pope Leo XIV would, later in his life, be challenged once more by a Borgia in the form of Cesare IX, son of the former 2nd Princep of Borgia (who is also named Cesare), exiled from birth and working as a mercenary in the Balkans earning renown and accumulating riches. Returning once more to the fields of battle, the two would later meet in the fields outside of Ceprano. Numbering around 40,000 men, the Pope would be severely outnumbered by Cesare's army of 70,000, most of which are mercenaries. The two would meet 3 days before the battle, where Cesare would ask for Pope Leo XIV's surrender, to save him from the humiliation he was certain he would bring to the old man. The Pope would answer with the line above, which angered Cesare to such a degree he asked the Pope for a duel, to which the Pope would refuse, citing his old age and ailing body. The two would go back to their respective camps, resting for the rest of the night and preparing to battle in the following days.
The subsequent battle of Ceprano would end with the Pope's victory, though it would come with the price of the Pope's life, extinguished by disease spread by the army whilst in the campaign. After Cesare IX's defeat, a Borgia would never again set foot in Italia (at least with the intent to establish an independent state, separate from the Papal Theocracy), though they would rule their own little fiefdom in Northern Makedonia.

(Apologies, I really wanted to expand upon @MultiplePOD's idea of a battle pope. Just ignore this if you want)

Richard the Third to his nephews. After the death of their father Richard took it upon himself to tutor and educate them in preparation for becoming the King of Briton. His regency is seen as a time of prosperity and relative peace, and in a 2020 poll he was voted 15th on a list of 50 greatest Britons.

A conversation between Soviet Priemer Stalin and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Stalin wished to mock the Pope, who had been exiled from the Republic of Italy at the beginning of the Second Great War. Churchill informed Stalin that the Pope had already raised three divisions to fight for the Allies, with more on the way. This worried Stalin as the Pope was a major anticommunist.

Tsar Sergei Kravanov of the Tsardom of Alaska on the Third Siberian-Alaskan War, which ended in 2022 with the total capitulation of Siberia following the nuclear destruction of Norilsk by the Alaskan Air Army.

Both nations were successor of the Empire of All The Russias, one of the great superpowers of the 19th and 20th centuries. With a sphere of influecnce stretching from the Pyrenees to the islands of Nippon, the Empire was destroyed along with much of the world in the Great War, a decades long conflict beginning in 1941 between the Russians, their allies in the Americas, against the Anglo-Ottoman alliance.

The Siberian Empire would collapse and be annexed by Alaska following the war, which included the first nuclear detonation in wartime after the Great War.

A quote from the comedy movie "the roman connection" which revolves around an attempt by 5 local conman to coax people to invest in their business (which in reality is just a massive pyramid scheme). The movie took place in the fictional country of tiroha (a parody of albany) and due to years of isolationism due to the paranoia of its dictator. (heavily implied to be a brother of enver hoxha as throughout the movie enver is mentioned as "big brother")

While at first they succeded the scheme started to collapse when one of the schemer got caught by turkish authority trying to do the same scheme in turkey while another crashed his car into an FBI agent car while car leading him to be arrested in america and finally the final nail in the coffin came when the ministry of tourism invested heavily into the business which lead to them wanting to see the operation, not wanting to risk it all the remaining schemer fled to bahama on a cruise ship leaving the country of tiroha bankrupt but they struck another bad luck as the ship they are in collided with a tanker and exploded destroying all their cash with only them surviving.

From a documentary in a TL where Japan was invaded by America, Australia, and China instead of being nuked, with Japan surrendering after two months of fighting in Kyushu, which caused the butterflies in the quote.

"How dare you savages talk that way about Margaret! She was a trailblazer to women everywhere! You ought to thank her for getting rid of those oppressive rites of yours!"
"To you maybe. To us, she was just another one of you thieving colonialists who tore our culture apart. And our culture in question isn't oppressive."

An American journalist commenting the end of the Proxy Wars, a series of conflicts which saw the Nintendo and Sega companies using organized crime to further their interests. The governments of various countries cracked down hard on the two companies, leading to their shutdown. The following void in the video game sector was soon filled by the emerging African giant Kazungula Games.

"I don't understand, ma'am. Why are you helping us?"

"Because, despite what everyone thinks, I really love the old man. And I want to save him from himself!"

A banter between a policemen and a woman after the police cornered ted bundy in a warehouse after his third escape attempt. The operation was complicated more as bundy fans crowded the scene further complicating the process, bundy realising that this could be used to help his escape let several people into the warehouse causing the original plan to smoke him out with tear gas to be abandoned, after 8 hours of standoff a police sniper manage to wound bundy while he was walking in the upper walkway of the warehouse seeing this several fans attacked the police causing them to be pepper sprayed and subdued bundy meanwhile tried to highjacked a a car but was smacked with a tire iron by its owner causing him to pass out and finally re captured.

Vice President Henry Wallace stabbed the Palestinian ambassador Winfried Katzenbach, his own aide Leslie Malone, and local police escort Robert Hood in Alabama in 1953; thankfully, all survived. This event proved to be one of the most embarrassing of President Joseph Kennedy's career, and one which set a trend of the those working for the Kennedy family (whether in politics or film) doing something dangerous and embarrassing. Considering Mr. Wallace's known Communist sympathies, in came as a great surprise in 1990 when the Freedom of Information Act (which automatically declassified documents after 35 years) revealed that- contrary to common conspiracy theories- this was not an OSS plot, and in fact Wallace's 'watchers' were convinced of both Wallace's loyalty and his instability prior to this.
