If you can time travel then there is no risk. Keep changing the variables of the past until you get the best, or least bad, present.
Have you watched any time travel movie or show?
Yes. That's why I expect to do well at this.

Sometimes you have to let the can lid off and let the fizz out. Europe was going to explode into war by some means or other.
I guess we'd find out how true that is if I was going through time denying everyone casus belli.

Also you can’t just assume preventing WW1 or WW2 would lead to all good things. So many of the advancements in feilds such as medicine has saved thousands of not millions of lives and have improved so many others were made during as a result of the World Wars.
If necessary I could just invent them myself.

Take him to 2018, we'll put him in a mental hospital next to Napoleon and Jesus.

When I say something worse I mean someone who is as good if not better than Hitler at potlics. Killing Hitler may just lead to someone who is more competent than him with the same views taking his place and do you really want to take that risk?
I find it hard to believe that there was someone in the Nazi party in the 30s who could plausibly take over in Hitler's place who could also have taken over Germany, but who did not take over the party from Hitler.
And like I keep saying, if it doesn't work out I'll go back in time and stop myself from killing Hitler.
