November 16, 1996 - World War III UpdateThe Soviet Pacific Fleet backed by land-based Backfire Bombers launched a conventional strike against Japan despite U.S. threats for a significant escalation in military action. The attack took place on November 16th, 1996 and inflicted significant damage on a Japan Self-Defense Forces base as well as the financial district in the Japanese capital city of Tokyo. The President and the Joint Chiefs are now weighing their options with some disagreements over whether the military response should be proportional with surgical strikes or if the United States Armed Forces should prepare for a ground invasion of the Soviet Union despite the fact Japan is currently the only allied nation adjacent to the Soviet Union. An invasion from only the east would no doubt be long given the vastness of Siberia and given we'd be outnumbers two to one if we sent all our troops which we can't. Even a ground offensive against Russia's Warsaw Pact allies to secure additional staging areas is likely gonna be very difficult. A decision should be announced over the following hours as...
Soviet Military Attack On Japan*KLAXONS RING OUT*"CONDITION RED! TAKE COVER IMMEDIATELY WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! THIS IS CONDITION RE..."The unthinkable has just happened. Within hours of the attack against Japan, the Soviet Union launched a nuclear strike against the United States obviously in response to the failed military ultimatum intended to prevent this very thing from happening. Though the strike was limited, 11 million Americans, including our Press Secretary, were tragically killed in this sudden escalation of the ongoing global conflict. With a heavy heart, President Bush ordered an immediate nuclear counterstrike proportional to the nuclear attack on the United States. Over 10 million Soviet citizens lost their lives in our devastating counterstrike. By the following day, nuclear fallout spread throughout North America and Eastern Europe as well as other countries adjacent to the United States and the Soviet Union with the global death toll reaching 135 million making the Third World War the deadliest military conflict in human history and worse then even both previous world wars combined. AND this was only the result of a limited nuclear exchange. Fortunately the Soviet launched no further nuclear strikes though I think ironically the United States owes Iraqi President Saddam Hussein a great debt as his decision to embargo the Soviet Union no doubt brought down their ambition at least temporarily causing the Soviets to cancel any further nuclear strikes. However at this point any negotiated peace settlement has now been deemed unacceptable with a vast majority of Americans calling for the complete destruction of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. A military invasion is considered unlikely however as committing the necessary forces could leave our country open for a invasion. Fortunately Mexico and Cuba are temporarily non-aligned HOWEVER so are Japan and Germany which is bad as both countries would've played a key role in any offensive action against Russia. And despite Cuba & Mexicco being temporarily outside the Soviet World Team Alliance, the Soviet Union maintains a garrison of nearly half a million troops in the area and remains prepared to defend either country if attacked. So both sides are effectively locked in a stalemate until at least 1997 though this will in all likelihood go on much longer given the strength of the Soviet Union and the number of allies ready to defend them.
