Sons of Liberty is probably one of the greatest games ever made, so the idea of it being even cooler is great news.

Wonder if ITTL the Russian internet is full of tribute videos like this about 9/4
Probably not, TBH.
The Russian attacks will be more on the level of the 2015 Paris Attacks if anything.
I think people are vastly overrating the impact of the September 4th attacks in this thread -- while it's no doubt a tragedy -- people placing it on the level of 9/11 don't really know what they're talking about. The 9/4 attacks and 9/11 are definitely similar in their execution when it comes to attack of civillian infastructure, they both have completely different outcomes.

9/4 is probably only going to be viewed as a minor terrorist attack that doesn't really affect anything longterm, in my opinion
September 9th attacks? Don't you mean the September 4th attacks?
Given that this timeline's version of the War on Terror has Russia at the helm, you're probably right.
You're right, better edit that to save myself the embarassment.
Exactly. What a lot of people don't realize is that a huge part of what made 9/11 so shocking and era-defining is the fact that it happened on U.S. soil.
Before 9/11, most Americans thought that major terrorist attacks were something that could only happen "over there". We thought that, with the Soviet Union gone, there was no great enemy to fear anymore.
When 9/11 happened, that mindset went away instantly. We feared that if such a devastating attack could happen here, it could happen anywhere.
There is a reason why it's called the "post-9/11 era".
Absolutely. Without 9/11 we're still in the mindset of "that can't happen here" and that there's no real threat to the United States that exists.
Just found an interesting history facts
Maybe TTL 2007, there's a small fire occured in one of the towers of World Trade Center, with no casualites, same as OTL Ostankino tower?
Disclaimer: I'm not telling what Iwanh to do on his TL, this just a small suggestion, final decision , adopt it or not depends on Iwanh for sure, hands down.

OTL there was a 3-alarm fire at the North Tower in 1975 set by a disgruntled custodian
1975 World Trade Center fire - Wikipedia
Probably the same as OTL, I presume. I doubt we'd see that much change.
That makes me wonder, when will we get an update on Syria and Libya ITTL?
It might be very different
From chapter pop culture 2006
We saw MySpace were bigger than OTL
And WebTube wasn't doing well
In my opinion, the "Main Character" of this TL is : US, Afghanistan, Iraq and Russia.
Looking forward to see United States and Edwards again

That'd be neat. IIRC someone awhile back said that due to something or other the Syrian Civil War probably wouldn't happen ITTL even with an Arab Spring type event but idk.
