re: If Sonny Corleone doesn't get whacked, does the Corleone family win the war?

I don't think they do, Sonny was too much of a hot head. Something would go wrong and he would've lost his shite. I think Sonny met a fitting end for his personality type, even though I liked him as a character.
Sonny was gonna get whacked at some point.
What I never understood was Michael killing Fredo.

He betrayed Michael with Johnny Ola and Hymann Roth. It led Ola to try and clip Michael.

What's not to understand?
Fredo betrayed the family and lied to Michael.

Fredo was barely above being a functioning retard. As long as he stayed away from the business, he seemed pretty harmless. Michael should have kept him confined to the estate and let him fish. Only whack him if he tried to get out of line again. I think Fredo knew it was only a matter of time though before he got one in the back of the head.
Sonny was a hothead. Michael was cool and calculated. Sonny may have eventually won the war, but at a much higher body count for his family and the others.

Seriously? Because he betrayed Michael by working with Roth because Mike was being difficult in negotiations. Fredo was apparently just trying to make the deal go through and didn't know they were going to try to take out Mike. But it goes back to the first movie in Vegas where Mike warned Fredo not to ever take sides against the family again. Fredo does it again with Roth, and it becomes apparent the he cannot be trusted to stay in line with Michaels ambitions and will constantly undermine his strategy.

Fredo was a liability that Michael could ill afford to have. The fact that Michael does not kill him once he gets back from Cuba shows remarkable restraint on Michael's part. I'm sure that Fredo did not think his actions would lead to a hit on his brother but they did and all he had to do was to keep his mouth shut in Havana.....but as the Romans would say .

that was essential to the story
- it left Tom as Michael's only brother (this is the mafia, his only brother has no blood ties)
-Fredo was gay.
When Michel finally realized it, he knew instantly that Vito had been aware and it was Tom's job to keep it secret. Vito/Tom arranged to send Fredo to Vegas, 'for his protection'.
Mike, originally thought that Vito's issues with Fredo's sexuality was him "banging two cocktail waitress at a time" not him being homosexual.
Micheal decided that Fredo had to go, when he admitted to going with John O to strip clubs. It was then Fredo started talking about the size of men's dicks when in Cuba, Michael made his decision.
Your Capo dei capi, you can't have your brother going to gay strip clubs with you the Jewish mob's underboss.
