In this alternate reality, the U.S. helped the Japanese defeat China during WW2.
Russia was secretly working with Germany.
Everything under the Vatican was the reason Hitler conquered Italy.
Archaeologists discovered a prophecy about a 3rd Great War.
The debates, translations, transcription, and semantic arguments ensure.
Mussolini was a patsy for the Pope.
Hitler lied and made up stories about the 3rd Great War, but the mobs listened & reacted faster than the pragmatic nerds.
People had their minds fixed.
The only way to prevent WWIII (according to him) was to make Arabs forget they’re also Semitic, destroy the Aramaic language forever, and blame punctuation on Hebrew people.
It was up to Japan & the United States to defeat China, Russia, Germany, and this Middle Eastern information warfare/ psychological-operation.
The movie ends without finishing the story of the war, but there are clues throughout (little comments about the economy, people whispering about where they’re trying to take boats to, etc.).”
