Okay, so I know those are types of angels, but I’m not really sure at what you’re trying to say here. Could you please explain?

Only that we're arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Maybe coulda happened, is an argument that is more properly conducted over copious quantities of beer.

If the USA had gotten in earlier and the tsarists suffered fewer mass defeats, the primary propaganda lenin used wouldn't have existed.

Not to mention the fact that Lenin was funded by Germany, in an attempt to destabilize Russia and undermine their war effort; if we had entered the war sooner, and thus ended it sooner, Lenin might not have gotten that foreign support when he needed it.
Honestly, the revolution was all on Tsar Nicholas. There'd been discontent since before the war with Japan and he had plenty of warning something might happen as it did, but he really didn't do anything to address any of it. Russia's entry into WWI expedited it, but it probably would've happened eventually anyway even if they hadn't entered the war. Probably the only thing that could have prevented the rise of the soviets would be if the Tsar had accepted having less than absolute power, and adopted something similar to what Britain or Germany had in terms of limited/constitutional monarchy.
Well, one. All angels can't dance except one.

There is a saying that while Turkish army was storming the walls of Constantinople, the religious scholars within the city were arguing how many angels can dance on the head of the pin. It's a metaphor for pointless discussion for the sake of discussion.
