With the news out of Texas about Larry Nassar today, it makes me glad that he's dead in TTL...

BTW, is Selena Quintanilla still born ITTL?

Edit: I just did a calculation of the dead, and its 183,005,576?!? This is probably the bloodiest war of all time...

Did this TL turn into a dystopia when I wasn't looking or something...

I'm also thinking WMD terrorism is going to be disturbingly common ITTL. Who else agrees with me on that?
 
So, there's definitely going to a post-Soviet crisis among the various claimants, and South America's going to become the hellhole continent of TTL.

Basically, everything we'd already predicted.
 
“We will bury you!” was the irritated retort of Krushchev to an ill considered interpolation. He was misunderstood by many, who thought he was threatening the early destruction of the capitalist West in war.

What he was doing was no more than to echo, in his own way, the prophetic words of Lenin.

“As long as capitalism and socialism exist we cannot live in peace: in the end one or the other will triumph - a funeral dirge will be sung over the Soviet Republic or over world capitalism.”

It has been sung.

Hey, don't remember if he was mentioned earlier, but is Lazar Kaganovich still alive? In OTL he lived until July 25, 1991 and was the last Old Bolshevik to die. If he's still alive, imagine that in his last days he sees the nation he helped create be destroyed, fragmented, and occupied by the West.
 
So still to come is Russian Civil War (and the collapse of the USSR), the state of the other nations, the reunification of Germany, the Treaty of Warsaw, the South American Crisis...….
Phew, surely after Warsaw we're into part 3....

Thats, crazy, so in a span of about 200 years we've gone from the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars lasting a quarter century and claiming ~6,000,000 souls, to WWIII lasting just over 2 1/2 years and killing almost 200 million...

He was so senile, he was practically brain dead by this time. I doubt there would have been medicine to support an old man of his age.

However, I can imagine plenty of World War II veterans must be feeling quite blue.
