What if the United States dismantled its entire electoral system, replaced it with a proportional parliamentary system, and joined the rest of the world in being a modern, functioning country?

It wouldnt be the largest economy in the world

What if Bush listened to Cheney and actually invaded Iran... I wonder what the world would like with oil at $300/barrel.

Well we'd control 90% of the oil in the middle east so OPEC would be dead, or our rivals.

The Democrats would've gotten the blame for things turning to poo poo in Iraq and for the Great Recession. The Tea Party might never have coalesced, but you can bet your rear end he'd be a 1-termer with either McCain or Romney taking the presidency in 2008. The Dems would be locked out of the halls of power until at least 2016.

yeah right before the surge Kerry probably would have pulled out and towed the party line. Then Ol' Public Functionary would lead us out of the dark ages.

It did, but lol if you think a few dead cosmonauts and explosions would have stopped the Soviets.

Yeah but it caused the largest conventional explosion in human history so I'd say they were set back slightly.

Looking at that, the next launch was 2 years later in 1971, while the next Apollo was later in 1969, so you're probably right. I actually didn't know about the N1 explosion.

I just want to have my Vengeful Nixon headcanon, OK?

Yeah it was a 7KT explosion which is pretty loving huge in terms of conventional explosions.
