I’m pretty sure we would know from the Soviet archives whether or not this happened. This is so ridiculous

    his wikipedia page is wild, all the shit the dude who made this website says is insane

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._J._Rummel

    History and Political Science Professor at University of Hawaii, Yale and Indiana, was convinced that global warming was a hoax to install Obama as lifetime dictator

    this is his own summation of his alternate history book he released later in life, emphasis mine, it actually makes me squirm:

    What if there were a solution to war and genocide? What if a secret society sent back to 1906 two lovers, Joy Phim, a gorgeous warrior, and John Banks, a pacifist professor of history, and gave them the incredible wealth and weapons necessary to create a peaceful alternative universe—one that never experienced the horrors of world war, the Holocaust, and the other atrocities of the twentieth century? And what if, at great personal cost, they succeed too well and create a peaceful world of complacent democracies? In Book 2, the clock is turned back to their arrival in 1906. They receive a message from the future of the universe they will create – Islamic fundamentalists have attacked the unarmed democracies with nuclear weapons and enslaved them. It is now up to these lovers to prevent this horrible future.
