Actually, Russia did show its sympathy to US IOTL. They even sent their fleet to US for a while because they didn't want it to be trapped in case something went down with the British.
Again, I feel you'd need to get rid of the Cold War for this because 'wise aliens arrive to save us from our warlike nature' was actually a hopeful message at the time.
Yeah, it showed that most people will do anything - good or bad - if an authoritative enough person tells them to.
Get rid of the Cold War. A lot of the 'wise alien' stories were actually because people were hoping that that there was some hyper-advanced ultra-civilized race out there that would swoop down and save humans before they blew themselves up.
I'd say that without a constant background feeling...
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles is renewed for another season.
The first few episodes have John try to come to terms with the Resistance camp and hanging around with Derek, Kyle and Allison Young while occasionally meeting up with Weaver. This arc is not well liked, feeling too generic and...
Those seem like pretty big assumptions to make given that we have no real way to test whether the time-space continuum as a whole does or does not possess a mind, much less what happens as a result of time travel.

True enough. From what I understand New England has a pretty good amount of...
Wait, industrial disparity? Wouldn't that gap be less wide since in this ATL it would have been America paying reparations to New England instead of the other way around?
Plus I'm not sure if New England should still have rocket forces since they retain the right to openly manufacture arlacs...
Freedom is the Price of Loyalty.
Grant's demise early in the Civil War leads means Sherman becomes Union's most important general and uses total war tactics against the South more broadly, earning it international sympathy. The Confederacy remains independent, but the peace is heavily skewed in...
If federal troops get sent in, things get messy.
I understand one of the people likely to be called in for an armed response was really eager to test air power.
