You know it said that Oswald only missed Walker because he shot through a closed window, and the bullet deflected off one of the window muntins....the strip of wood that holds the panes of glass in a divided-light window

So if Oswald kills Walker does Oswald then kill Kennedy?...unlikely...

So Kennedy does not become a martyr ...

At the time it looked like Kennedy would lose reelection...

but either way...no Johnson becoming president in 64...

So Vietnam plays out differently...

So then no Nixon in 68?... So no Watergate in 73?...

So no Carter in 76 in reaction to Watergate?

So then no Reagan in reaction to Carter?..

So..no fall of the Soviet Union from Reagan standing up to them?

And on and on and on...

Could all that pivot on a little strip of wood in a place in time and space?

Interesting to think about

Well put. It’s impossible to know how much differently events would have played out, just that history was indeed changed.
