Using data from Nasa's near earth object program begin project to set large objects, posibly comets on colision course with earth.
set up labratory to design colosal ion engines capable of changing orbits of planets and moons
You analyze the possibilities of setting near Earth objects on collision courses. There are a couple asteroids that could be set on a collision course, but for comets it's pretty much impossible at the moment. You'd have to modify the orbit when they are quite far away, i.e. in the Kuiper Belt and other faraway places. You design engines that can be attached to asteroids and then used to alter their orbits.
Sell half of tanks produced to various tyrannical despots, rebel groups, and people who would be described as 'bad people' by the Daily Sunshine newspaper. Use profits to buy a skyscraper in New York and equip it as a business HQ, complete with advertising and customer services departments, as well as a cold call centre.
Have the weapons guys draw up blueprints for variants of the tank.
Send the currently-built tanks and some soldiers to demolish the Sunshine Squad tank factory.
EDIT - Also buy a load of HMGs and AA guns from the aforementioned customers and ring the entire tank factory with them. Also ensure that at least one of the variants is a flamethrower tank.
You sell some tanks and gain new friends. From the profits you actually manage to buy the HQ and the weapons mentioned. Looking at the recent actions of the Sunshine Squad, some sellers decided it might be better to team up with you guys after all.
You set up the HQ, arm your soldiers with quality weapons and fortify the tank factory.
You draw up some blueprints for variants of the tanks, like a heavy version, a light version and of course, the version armed with flamethrowers.
The attack on the enemy tank factory, however... It was a failure. Both sides suffer losses in the proccess of it, SADISTS forces are repelled. Fighting the Sunshine Squad armed forces on Earth, directly, is suicide. You'll have to find some other way to engage them if you truly want to win this.
((Why would you use ion engines. We have nuclear reactors. Orion drives are a thing.))
Construction
Repair the asteroid base.
Commence enrichment of weapons grade uranium.
Make the researched bioweaponry
Research
Multiplicate the smallpox culture, and hide samples everywhere. (Make sure all our people are given a vaccine. There're only 5000, so it shouldn't be hard)
Designate one base as Bioweapon Production Facility Alpha. Here we develop a smallpox version that is resistant to the vaccine
Designate some other bases as Bioweapon production facility Beta-Delta, where we work on our other bioweaponry
Political
Threathen the release of smallpox should Sunshine take any offensive action against us or our assets.
Sell oil for metal, aim to keep a reserve of 75 km³. I mean, it's not destroying the environment if we're not using it.
The asteroid base works at full capacity once again.
You construct a uranium enrichment facility in low Earth orbit.
You create a bioweapon production facility in orbit, producing the virulent smallpox and other bioweapons.
You hide smallpox samples all around the planet. SADISTS members are given vaccines.
((Hold on, you want to create a strain that is resistant to even your own vaccines?))
You threaten the Sunshine Squad.
You sell the oil for metal that funds your other operations.
((Why would you use ion engines. We have nuclear reactors. Orion drives are a thing.))
the explosive required to move a planet or moon are immense, far more than earth could resonably produce. i plan to use nuclear impulse to move the NEOs the ion engines are so we can adjust the orbits of planets and inarticulate moons in the future an ion engine can just be turned on and run indefinitely

Start broadcasting fake plans for a join US south Korean preemptive nuclear strike in north Korean air space
It is known that the US president supports the Sunshine Squad and cooperates with them. The fake threats provoke North Korea enough, that they now support the SADISTS. Their nuclear weapons (however terrible they may be) are now at your disposal. They only have few tested models and a few untested ones, and there are very few. Better than nothing though, I suppose.
Fuck popular support and fuck your smallpox, it's for The Greater Good
Ape-shit time, send the sunshine army after any and all SADIST bases and personnel we can locate, top priority targets are as follows from top priority to lowest:
Find that damn smallpox culture and burn it, along with all their virology equipment
Invade and occupy enemy mines and oil rigs, we need to recoup our losses from the whole space fiasco
Invade the enemy tank factory, re-purpose it to produce mobile missile defense platforms.
Engage the SADIST military wherever we can find them on the planet, leave none alive.
Take out the enemy Research Labs and Particle Collider
Sniff out the enemies underground bases
Any and all casualties are acceptable, we need to burn these demons in their pits regardless of the martyrs required.
Continue subverting world governments, accelerate the pace of conversion by threatening and outright directing all media in a pro-sunshine direction
Raid SADIST stockpiles for resources
Use subverted media for a massive propaganda campaign glorifying the Sunshine Squad as the saviors of mankind and espousing the virtues of The Greater Good.
Outright assume total control over any government subverted enough or small enough to take over, Call the new-found coalition of states the Solar Coalition.
Assuming media and government control is asserted, ruthlessly put down any dissension and institute the fervent state-policy of "The Greater Good", make it almost religious in character (Think Stalinist cult of personality, except geared towards an abstract ideal)
Begin SADIST purges in all governments under our control (for instance, we get reliable info that a SADIST might be there and we burn down a village just to be sure) Naturally, cover up all of these instances.
Direct resources towards the production of several (think around 5) space frigates armed with 155mm. artillery cannons as it's main armament, and guided missiles as it's secondary. Equip it with nuclear fusion powered engines.
And once more, expand metal production facilities with any left over resources.(though i doubt there will be)
I'll see your X-COM, and raise you a Tau Empire.
...Shit just got real.
It's too late to destroy the smallpox culture. It's already been multiplied. You do however find and destroy many of the caches stored around the world, though surely not all of them.
You take out their oil rigs and mines on Earth. Many militias are slaughtered in the process, as cannon fodder. The soldiers do short work of the other armed forces. Morale is not exactly high among the troops. You destroy SADISTS facilities on Earth though. SADISTS forces suffer heavy losses, namely all their tanks. You recover some blueprints from the destroyed factories.
SADISTS retreats to space. Their HQ and facilities on Earth destroyed, their stockpiles on Earth raided. They do however have an edge in space combat. They already developed combat space suits for the asteroid base attack and already have small transport ships working. How long before they create warships? They already have plans for altering asteroid orbits. You're not able to do anything to their facilities in space with your troops at the moment.
You completely take control of many governments, while discouraging other from joining you. This polarizes society even more.
The propaganda is successful in the places you already control, while other see it as aggressive. Society is largely polarized now.
In your sphere of influence you diminish the influence of SADISTS.
You use the metal to start construction of the frigates. Now that you have driven SADISTS off the Earth, you are now starting to deal with them in space. But there still are few governments that support SADISTS...
Tau Empire
Send an anonymous letter to Games Workshop suggesting that their legal team check this guy out.
A company called Games Workshop mysteriously disappears after filing a copyright complaint agains the Sunshine Squad.
((Why would you use ion engines. We have nuclear reactors. Orion drives are a thing.))

Uhm nope. A ion engine still uses massive amounts of energy. After all, it accelerates particles using massive magnetical field. However, unlike a nuclear warhead, it takes a lot of time to produce any meaningfull amount of force, while most orbital maneuvers are more effective with instantaneous bursts.
Construction
All the weaponry designed last turn. EMP systems to disable their tanks, aircraft, and Hazmat suits. Bioweapons to deal with the grunts.
Deploy all bio weaponry available against enemy troops. I highly doubt they have top level Hazmat suits, so we're expecting 95% casualties there.
Activate a scorched earth protocol when, and only when an enemy threatens to invade any facility. Light up the oil, retract all control rods, disable the cooling systems and blow up everything left.*
Go guerilla(we do have stealth suits after all) . Support any resistance, of which there'll be many.
Evacuate key personnel to space. Equip all space stations with cloaking technology. Use special agents to sabotage or takeover enemy spaceships.
*You do know that our oil production is Nuclear, and not equipped with an outer radiation containment system. You're looking at Tsernobyl scale disaster at every single powerplant
You construct EMP weapons with what you have left. You arm the resistance with them.
The bioweaponry utilized against enemy troops kills a great many of them. The Spec Ops get the best hazmat suits and resist them, mostly. The rest of their army is hit extremely hard. The remaining militias desert. You also still have the caches of the smallpox strain hidden around the planet...
The enemy manages to get some of the metal from the mining facilities. Much of the oil is transported to the space stations in orbit, while the rest is burned. Immense levels of radiation are released as the troops retreat into the countryside. The radiation damages the environment and kills off the dolphin troops the Sunshine Squad used. Many people die too.
The underground bases are still present on Earth. Resistances get support from there and use them as bases of operations.
Key personell and equipent are evacuated to the space stations.
Special agents sabotage Sunshine Squad sattelite networks. Their GPS systems become unusable and it's a lot harder for them to communicate.
Start several internet campaigns to turn populace against sunshine ink
1. comparing there recent military actions of sunshine ink to the Nazis and other fascist regeimes
2. portray their leaders as the antichrist and deliberately attempt to make it appear they are fulfilling the prophacies
3. one implying they are being funded by Monsanto and big tobacco
kidnap various religious leaders and replace them with puppets
secretly start taking over major corporations especially Nestle and Monsanto
The internet is largely unusable and otherwise controlled by the Sunshine Squad. Internet campaigns by SADISTS are pretty much impossible. But you do spread propaganda as your influence allows it.
The impressionable and gullible join your cause, thinking that the Sunshine Squad really is fulfilling prophecies.
They actually are supported by large corporations like Monsanto. Taking over food corporations, or any corporations, really, is rather impossible. They are controlled by the Sunshine Squad. Or are the corporations controlling them...?
Create a lab for scientists to genetically modify our soldiers to be stronger, or maybe faster, or smarter. Send 50 troops on Poketwo. this guy is insane
You start research on the possibilities of GM soldiers. There are quite a few. And poketwo is holed holed up probably in some bunker in who-knows-where, so you'll have to find him first.
Continue training Sunshine forces.
Train some of the Regulars into Special Operations experts. Something like Navy SEALs.
Send a representative to bring up SADISTS's plans to the UN and ask for their proposed plan of action.
You train some more Sunshine Squad Spec Ops.
The Sunshine Squad has the UN mostly under their control at the moment anyway. No one is totally sure what the SADISTS' plans are at the moment, so not everyone is convinced by the evidence you brought up.
Set off nukes in country's that don't support the Sunshine Squad and blame them for it. GM our soldiers and recruit more through deception and berainwashing.
Uhm. Okay. That polarizes society even more. You had some nukes from your buddy Kim, so no problems there.
You create GM soldiers that are stronger, resistant to radiation and other such things. Not all of them survive the modifications however. You have many volunteers, eager to take up arms against the Sunshine Squad, so there are no problems with recruitment right now.
Sadists
Let the biologists crossbreed smallpox with ebola to create a new kind of supervirus.
Research supercomputers, able to process movement data from cameras, with the ability to give commands on itself. Research automated turrets. Research scorching lasers.
You create a new strain of virus. More scary than either one of these.
You create AIs and supercomputers and arm space stations with them. You weaponize lasers and program AIs to control turrets.
I've made up my mind.......nuke Yosemite.........or was it Yellowstone that had the super volcano
Nuke 'em both for good measure
You nuke both using the nukes you have from good ol' Kim. A nuke isn't enough to set off the Yellowstone supervolcano, however. It barely scratched the surface. That was a waste, wasn't it?
I recruit people in my army, also aiming for politicians to support me. Plush find a cure for the plaque that is affecting humanity.
Why Is no one joining my fraction, I'm the grey and gray right now??? taking over the world yet against multiple things about both sides.
Well, you manage to cook up a vaccine for the plague that currently affects humanity (probably in your own garage, or something).
People are willing to join your forces, thankful for curing the plague. The vaccine won't work on the new diseases the big guys cooked up, though...
Maybe I should do something more practical
Fake a space company and hire space flight researchers to work on it so we can move our important stuff to the moon or something.
Excuse me
SPAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
You already have your stuff in orbit around the planet, so have an advantage over them, in space at least.
More volcanism.
Well, as soon as you tell me who you join, you can join the party...
EDIT: Yes, I messed up the quotes, thanks for reminding me.
