Those are textbook Repair, Don't Respond violations. Definitely keep them at one bullet level, if the two contradict each other, just cut the whole thing.

I've been skimming through Justice League episode recaps, and some of the entries in them use indentation when they just expand on the first un-bulleted example.
- America Won World War II: Vandal Savage chose to plan a massive invasion of America after learning about the outcome of World War II, particularly when his future self also warned him to ready the Third Reich for a massive US/UK/Canada/Resistance movements seaborne invasion of Normandy on June 6th, 1944. While the success of Operation Overlord in 1944 was definitely very bad news for Germany, wouldn't a specific warning not to invade the Soviet Union in 1941 before neutralizing the Western enemies first have been a higher priority?
- The laptop he sent back in time could have arrived years before 1945 (the Martian says it). Savage had enough time to set himself up as a revolutionary scientist, prove his new weapons, and then remove Hitler. Since there's no mention made of the Soviets, one could assume he never invaded the USSR, and was instead focusing on the center of Allied supply lines, the US.
- Also, Savage shut the laptop off while the message was in mid-sentence, implying that there may have been more to it.
- Artistic License – History: When the League make it back to 1944, they end up in Caen, where American forces are being beaten back by German forces with their new War Wheels. Thing is, Caen was in the British sector during the Normandy invasion and subsequent campaign. A more appropriate location would have been Carentan, which was firmly in the American sector.
- That being said, the US First Army landed at the Cotentin Peninsula, just 54 miles from Caen, in our history. So while American forces are a little odd, they're not completely unbelievable.
- It could also be that since this is an alternate history version of the war, American and British forces were assigned different sectors than what they were assigned in real life. So for example, the British could have been the ones who stormed Omaha and Utah beaches, while the Americans stormed Gold and Sword.
