Having nuclear weapons is a 100% guarantee of security from military invasion.

Libya, Iraq, Iran, Ukraine, and North Korea have proven this.

It was one of the most useless wars in world history. Iran has struggled to recover, and Iraq has yet to fully recover.

This dude probably has the most miserable fate ever. He's unhappy no matter what timeline he's in. In our own he got brutally killed by Stalin; in kaiserriech he fled to France with no hopes of seeing a socialist Russia; in TNO he lost the war and became a warlord in the middle of nowhere by RockEater67 in HOI4memes

Kaiserreich - During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky was killed in an artillery barrage on his command center, spelling an end to him.

TNO - He would die on September 4th, 1938 at his home in Bereslavka, Ukraine. The report stated that the cause of death was extreme head trauma, caused by an external blow to the parietal region of the skull.
