Would Skynet achieve victory by not doing anything? Kyle Reese is only sent back to 1984 because Arnie was already sent to kill Sarah. Reese not going back would mean John wouldn’t be born. Here’s the paradox, people - the Terminator’s destruction is needed because the damaged CPU and arm lead to the creation of Skynet.

I vaguely remember them trying to write the work around as the Twrminator movie events merely affecting how fast or slow Skynet comes around. Like it initially jump started Dysons work and then T2 set them back a bit…and T3 was the inevitable D-Day.

Its time travel rules are 100% wrong.
In Terminator 1, it's a fixed timeline. You cannot alter the past. Kyle and T-800 had always been part of the past the way you see on the movie. Skynet didn't know that it was a fixed timeline, Skynet thought that it could change the past.
There is no "original" 1984. The 1984 you see on screen is the one and only 1984. Ever.
