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.

Eta: Oh, spoiler alert for all you un-American and uncultured swines that haven't seen one of the top 5 movies of all time.

Sonny was too much of a hot head. Sonny would wind up whacked anyway. After all of the shite he stirred Tom could have had him whacked or Michael.

We never see if Vito was cold blooded enough to do something like that. Remember Vito survives and then retires. Vito would have just taken back over. Sonny was a hot head but not ambitious. Not enough to fight his own dad for control. A fight he would lose.

Sonny was gonna get whacked at some point.

What I never understood was Michael killing Fredo.

I wish the admins would give all the users a free ban for a day to place on anybody that replies to a thread that they start. I would most definitely use it on the "If only there was a board for this" type of responses.

It was that spoiled guinea brat Connie's fault.

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.

The OT is a board for everything, what type of sad life do you live to come here and say things like that?

Agree with your OP and agree with your opinion.
If I wanted to be on the TV board I'd be on it.

Sonny thought too much with his heart. To be a Don, you have to always play the long game and think with your head. That said, Vito should've known drugs were inevitable.

RICO and the death of omerta screwed everything anyway.

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.

Yes. Sonny was hot for the Turk's deal. Don Corleone didn't want to lose his police protection, but with drug money, Sonny could have just bought more. They never would have had to leave New York, and all of Sonny's enemies would have been destroyed.

Correct,he was a defeated man at that point and his killing clearly bothered Mike later in life in III.
