you see, it goes:
our universe goes along as it is, till Einstein uses his time machine, to go back and erase hitler.
now there is two universes, our one, and the red alert one, in which hitler is gone and soviets come to power.
upon the allied victory, the universe leads to red alert two
but upon the soviet victory, we get the tiberium universe...
now, hear me out, as i was a sceptic of the idea that soviet victory leads to tib universe, allied to red alert 2, but i have looked over it, and have come to find a fair few points that could support this idea
1. kane is kane from tiberium universe (duh)
2. he is stalins adviser in the soviet campaign, but in the allied one you see no reference to him
3. they kill stalin, and whats her name goes on about how nod will use the soviet union for a while, before discarding it in the 1990's
4. the tiberium universe is set shortly after this, meaning events could very will have occurred this way
5. given that the soviets take over europe, and then kain takes control of the soviets, this gives him perfect access to italy, and the tiber river, where it is said that he already knows that the tiberium will land there
6. if the soviets defeated the allies, then this could explain the loss of allied technology from red alert to tiberium dawn, the soviet tech is not so easy, but perhaps it just became outdated or to expensive to run (some of the surviving allied tech could also be lost this way)
7. nod could then have been able to build funds and power from leeching it off the soviets bit by bit, after all, kain would be controlling the soviets and do mostly what he wants with them (only thing holding him back would be wanting to remain hidden)
now there are probably some others i have now forgotten, but theres a few points to think about (of coarse, eventually communism could fail, or stop being practiced, the soviet union falling apart, and the nations all joining the GDI, which does have Russia as one of its members)
now, if we believe in this, then we know now that there are three universes
-ours
-red alert (allied victory)
-tiberium (soviet victory)
now, from there the universe go on un-split, our universe eventually leading to generals, thus you have your three universes all tieing in.
now an interesting fact:
the erasing of hitler could very well have had more effects then we first realized, not only did it bring power to the soviets, and the two wars that followed, but it could very well be directly responsible for yuri too.
the symbols on yuri's forehead are jewish, it can therefore be supposed that he could be of some jewish lineage. Hitler killed many many jews, yuri could well have been one of the many to be killed (and even if he is not jewish, the jewish symbols on his head could very well have been enough for the nazi's to judge him as one)
thus with his death by the nazi's, he never became the mad man we all know and love (not to mention that without the soviets he would also have not had his opportunity...)
and now a more far out idea,
what if kain was either abducted by the scrin? or traveled through time to the future of tiberium
i mean, scrin technology could be the reason why he never seems to age, he might have been infected by some super advanced nano bots or cloning, something or strange like that, he could also then have a way to know about tiberium, where it was going to land, and all that other stuff about it he knows
this could also be from the ships nod have been collecting, but what if this collection started with a ship that kain had been abducted by? either he somehow took control, or it crashed, letting him escape and take it for himself. thus the advanced tech of nod, and all the stuff they know about tiberium....
(yes, thats a bit more far out, but i just thought of it then and thought i'd add it in to the discussion)
