One atomic bomb ain't doing the US in. 10 atomic bombs ain't doing the US in. Not in world war 2. Germany surrendered after nearly 20% of it's population was killed. Russia kept fighting when 14% of it's population died. Japan lost 5%.
The US lost .32%. Neither the Germans nor the Japanese had realistic options of bombing the US. They tried and failed miserably. The Enola Gay couldn't launch from an aircraft carrier.
It's just silly.
AND I AM FUN!!!!
BOOK SPOILERS
In the book, FDR is assassinated before the US gets out of the Great Depression, and we never fully recover before the war. Apparently bad leadership is why we end up on the losing side.

I never said I wouldn't watch it and I didn't say it wouldn't be entertaining.
But it is highly highly silly to me. If FDR was assassinated, the "sleeping giant" is awoken. Was this show really suggesting that the NEW DEAL was what kept us from recovering from the Great Depression? Because that's some BS. The US prepping for entering WW2 and the sudden dependence on the US for being the supplier of the world is what got us out of the great depression.
Also, I'll add, it'd have to be the absolute worst leadership that ever graced the planet.

Just finished "The Man in the High Castle". This definitely has legs to it.
