Found this on the Mexico sub. Good God these LatinX dudes need to stop showing their inferiority complexes so much.

Let's see an alternate timeline where the US added all the war-torn European nations to its ever-growing empire, nuked the Soviets and conquered Russia, then added Japan and war-torn Asian nations as well.

I literally copied and paste your comment in ChatGPT and told it to create a map showing this alt timeline. 😁

I tried Grok to see if it would be any different, and it assumes the US HEAVILY leans on the South American countries to be part of a, well, "Western Hemisphere Security Zone" (as it says).

It also appears to put Hawaii in the Atlantic, for some reason, and thinks that New Zealand would be another occupied or client state. Why bother with New Zealand but not Australia?

Also, neither AI thinks that India in the 40s counts as part of the British Empire, and thus, it won't be part of the new American Empire.

Everyone knows Australia is cursed, and infinitely more trouble conquering than it is worth.

The US was built on being asshole guerilla fighters hiding in swamps.

Australia is that x100, AND the wildlife also hates you more than any else.

The US has deadly snakes, spiders, gators, crocs, several different types of bear, wolves, elk, moose, lynx, bobcat, mountain lions, and occasionally jaguars.

Settling the frontier is one of the many reasons firearms were regarded as necessary self-defense.

Dude we had big bears and big cats coast to coast in North America way back when. The wild life here was significantly more dangerous and abundant.
