The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

Considering this TL is essentially a hyper conservawank with leftism being programmed to lose every single time push comes to shove, don't get your hopes up of American democracy surviving, if it even has a democracy to speak of considering it just turned into a dominant-party system led by the Republicans, with the opposition (Especially the Democrats and Progressives) being essentially purged to the very last and thus having no chance of ever dislodging the GOP from power, barring an outright civil uprising.

Don't bet on that, I suspect more twists and turns to come.
 
India would still be friendly towards the Russians and view the Alliance and ETO as 'imperialists' but may be more economically liberal. The Indian National Congress will still be a majority party but you may see more National Socialist/Authoritarian parties and movements like the RSS with an earlier start.
Maybe the guys who IOTL formed the Swatantra Party take over the INC as well?
 
In the case that Thailand join the RA (or whatever it become) it could be use as Jungle survival training area for RA and and occasional ITO.

American already come here to train in Jungle survival in OTL.

In other hand Indochina hardly will be such mess than in OTL if Chiang manage re-capture and keep Southern China. Ho Chi Mihn have not much of doing in this case.

I could actually see he started to adopt more fascist look just to spite Britain.

I have thought bit same. He could be some kind of fascist leader. USSR is not very attractive but RA would be acceptable ally and still could be friendly with most of the world. And this might too piss UK speciality if Labour gain power there.

I figure the Indian elections will be more contested. You would have some sort of Socialists on the left, then the INC, then Swatantra and maybe a right wing Hindu nationalist party in the national elections and then the various regional and local parties. Bose may have survived and continues to lead his movement with Alliance support.
 
Wonder if Patton view of nuclear weapon would result in anti ICBM network arm race to keep war “honourable”.

Announcement of making this TL Star War project (and intention to actually do it) combine with Stalin paranoia driving both side to build anti ICBM network.

Though of course I don’t know if Patton would be in position long enough for ICBM to become a thing or if Stalin would live that long.
 
I wonder if Audie Murphy would have an even bigger film career in this version of Hollywood.

I do think Henry Fonda may be a bad example of a star whose leftism drives him into trouble, then exile though - the man was an ardent Democrat, but also saw action during WWII, and was famous for his war films and support of the military. He famously disowned his daughter Jane for almost 20 years for her actions in Vietnam, for example.

I find difficult to believe Patton could be the main driver behind ABM systems. It's also possible that the Second Purge made extensive impact on soviet engineers, people like Korolev or Glusko (or perhaps they remain in a Saraska?)
Regarding Italy, there could be some development. After all it's easier to cover less area. (Am I right?)

That could be interesting too if ITO and RA can’t keep up with nuclear weapon production of both the US and the Soviet they might try to go for ABM development.

May I suggest a chapter about the Italian car industry and Enzo Ferrari?
I would add also the Italian economy change with the Libyan oil and ENI, also consider that if Balbo was kept as governor of Libya, the local population would have gifted with full citizenship as he wished, thus making the "colony" a permanent territory
