June 3, 2017 – The Situation Room

“Mr. President, Washington DC is in danger of being taken by AFA forces.”
“I read the briefing. We need drastic action to stop these rebels. What is your suggestion General?”
“We call it Operation Thundering Eagle. It is an all out aerial strike on several high value AFA targets.”
“Good. I want you to also hit the hospitals in the region.”
“Sir, there will be innocent…”
“There are no innocent people among the rebels. Anyone aiding the rebels is an enemy of the United States. Make sure that all branches of the military observe this.”


An excerpt from Russ Feingold’s Death of a Nation

“After Landrieu took power things only got worse. Most didn’t think things could get worse –highest levels of unemployment and inflation in history, the dissolution of the Federal Reserve and giving Congress complete control over monetary policy, nuclear weapons around the world unsecured and a civil war here at home…

In the past ten years many thought that China would be the next superpower. Today, China is little more than a multisided civil war, India and central Asian has broken down into ethnic fighting and Israel stands alone as Arab nations in the Middle East kill one another. The closest thing to prosperity can be seen in Africa where they have formed the beginnings of an African nation. Time will only tell if this new nation will last…

…as for the United States…things only got worse. After Landrieu took power California was joined by Nevada and Idaho which the United States and Armed Forces of America are actively contesting. Tensions have risen between the AFA and California over the ownership of these two states but Xander has backed down from his claim on those states for now…

Landrieu’s forces and capital have relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Midwest seems to be the last bastion of support for Landrieu who has now killed thousands upon thousands of innocent people in his carpet bombing of enemy-controlled territory.

July 4, 2017 – Statement from the Executive Office of the President

“President Landrieu has appointed Kansas Senator Jerry Moran to the Vice Presidency. The Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the House have given their consent on behalf of their houses.”

As of July 4, 2017



Darker = More Control (Less contested)
Lighter = Less Control (More contested)

Green – American Nation of California
Blue – United States of America
Red – Armed Forces of America
Gray – American Nation of Arizona
Gold – American Nation of New York

Interview with Shelly Lannington of Nashville, TN about July 2017

“The US Army had been patrolling Nashville for some time…well, I shouldn’t say patrolling. Occupying is probably a better word. They set curfews, checked anyone who crossed their path and there were countless missing people and violent encounters with them in the street. Some of the violence was warranted on the part of the Army, like when they were attacked by protesters –other times they would beat or kill innocent civilians…on July 4 Xander’s forces and the US Army clashed in Nashville.  We all hid in our basements as gunfire wizzed by our houses and through windows.
   When the AFA ultimately took the city, we were overjoyed. We had heard Xander’s speech on the radio and we heard rumors about them treating people well over the border in Alabama. After they took over, the US air force tried to turn the city to rubble –they bombed houses, leveled the hospital, and they reigned hell upon the city the entire night. Xander’s air force did respond but it was too little and too late.
 Reality was very different than what we imagined. Over the next few days there were reports of people missing; AFA soldiers raping women, and the same kind of tactics that the US forces used were still being used against us. That’s really when I lost all hope...”

August 11, 2017 – Various Media Excerpts

“…new reports of violence in AFA controlled areas….AFA territory is completely military controlled …General Xander has denied requests to begin the process of setting up local civilian governments in the least contested areas…”

“…US forces retreat from Kentucky and Tennessee…AFA takes control…”

“…Washington DC falls to AFA forces…President safe in Pittsburgh…calls General Xander a “traitor to the American people.””

“…US forces won’t give up losing battle in Utah…”

“Supreme Court Justice Allen West calls the Armed Forces of America “anti-American and anti-Constitution…”

“…Connecticut joins New York…AFA condemns the move calls it “counterproductive to reuniting America”…”

“…tensions on California-AFA border…shots fired…”

As of September 1st 2017

Nukes eh?

Minor prediction - New York gets the worst of it, maybe to the point where they fold.  California does "all right".

I wonder how the AFA will do. That's what it really could come down to. What's left the AFA against what's left of California. I wonder why the US hasn't been invaded yet.

Neither Canada nor Mexico really has any sort of reason to invade the US, do they?

What's left of the Industrial world might want to preserve their "strategic interests".

...though I am pretty sure that Mexico (in fact all of Latin America) has fallen to a patchwork of socialist "Pueblos", Catholic and Pentacostal "Missions" , military juntas and drug rings and that most of the major cities in Canada are pretty much abandonned and all that's left there are a few frontier towns, the French and the oil cartels out west. Maybe Jane's Fighters will ally with the former while the AFA or USA allies with the latter.

...and I wonder if Israel has expanded any int Jordan, Lebannon or Syria or if the Kurds have any more indepedence..and again, I don't think most major nations in Europe exist anymore and they have more or less become city states and cantons.

Well, I think the AFA is going to be hit hard, and set way way back, but not be wiped out.  The USA will be less damaged, and gain the upper hand for a few months as a result.  California will have some breathing room while those two fight.  Who California will face I'm not sure though.

..perhaps all of Europe. Like I said, this is like the perfect opportunity for oppressed groups to win more independence. Kurds, Tibetans, Ughurs, Celts, Basques and various other minorities seem proned to gain.

Excerpt from Russ Feingold’s Death of a Nation

One of the worst days I’ve lived through, worse than 9/11 even, was September 2nd 2017 when President Chuck Landrieu ordered the atomic bombing of high priority AFA military bases.
Many nuclear warheads had been moved to the areas that Landrieu’s forces controlled Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, etc. At least 25 nuclear warheads were armed and unable to be seized from USA forces in AFA territory. Forces loyal to the USA in these cases had threatened to detonate or fire the missile if AFA forces advanced –and General Xander was not willing to call them on that.

On September 1st Landrieu gave the order to those still loyal in AFA territory to detonate the missiles they had control over. 20 of these failed, 3 detonated in the ground which still had their own consequences –one west of Salt Lake City, another in Wyoming and the third between Helena and Billings in Montana. The final two of those 25 were launched. One failed and exploded over the Atlantic Ocean –its trajectory was unknown –and the other hit Raleigh, North Carolina.

If that was all that was launched that day, I’d be telling a different story. The ICBMs and missiles that Landrieu’s forces had full control over were deadly, and Xander had prepared for an all out nuclear assault. 7 nuclear warheads hit and detonated—another 45, some say higher, were either shot down, failed to launch, or failed to detonate on impact. One of the missiles that failed to detonate on impact sits squarely in the middle of Manhattan. It was as good as a detonation since thousands died as they fled New York and the surrounding region in a panic.

One missile hit Xander’s forces in each Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia while a fourth hit missed its intended target and hit a civilian area in Iowa. The fifth hit outside of Austin, Texas –wiping out part of the city and most of the suburban area west of the city and what was General Xander’s headquarters that had been evacuated days earlier. The sixth hit a naval base in Louisiana while the seventh hit Washington DC –a move by Landrieu to destroy any information that would hurt the USA.
   In total, 11 nuclear missiles detonated on civilian or military populations on September 1st. The numbers affected by this genocide against the American people is too high to relive.


September 2nd 2017 – The diary of a teenage soldier in Checyna

“It is today we gain our freedom. The murders in the Kremlin have signed in their own blood the freedom of my nation. They will not soon forget the price for what they did to us. They will not forget the Siberians or the Turkic peoples or the Tatars…our great leader has promised us elections in the coming day and I look forward to participating in a Checyna without the Russian plague.”

September 2nd 2017 –Conversation between two reporters –or wannabe reporters…

“I believe this is the first time in history that there is no France”
“There was no France at some point you know”
“You can’t prove that, there is no internet or Wikipedia anymore for you to look that up.”
“That is true, but you know that you’re lying.”
“So what? I can write my own new history. People will believe it.”
“I will tell them otherwise.”
“What is happening now is already unbelievable, embellishing will just be fun.”
“I wouldn’t call any of whats happening fun.”
“This new nation of ‘Amal’ a Muslim democracy. Unbelievable already.”
“But it is true. The new nations name means ‘hope’ in Arabic. They aren’t an Islamic nation you realize...”
“They all become theocracies at some point, don’t they?”
“Is this more of your embellishing?”
“I won’t have to embellish this one. Its going to fail miserably. French, German, Flemish, Dutch Muslims --this small nation on the northern coast of Europe is going to go down in spectacular colors of flames and I will write about it.”
“Once again, they’re not all Muslim…they have a significant amount of Christian---“
“It began as people with a common identity coming together…sure they let a few others in later…”
“You realize how pessimistic and arrogant you sound?”
“I’m just being realistic. I heard they’re shipping in Albanians too!”
“There’s no way a mass exodus could occur in the warzone that is the Balkans.”
“Oh sure, call me the pessimist…”
“Eastern Europe has been ravaged by war –Western Europe is better off but not by much. At least you can still get one place to another with only half of your entourage getting killed.”
“I heard of some safe routes”
“You’re full of crap.”


September 2nd, 2017 – General Xander’s base outside of Topeka, Kansas

“General, the damage is not as bad as we expected.”
“13 hits, correct Lieutenant?”
“Yes General.”
“I would not call this ‘good’ either. Make sure that everyone knows we are following War Plan RAP.”

September 3rd, 2017 – Media headlines

“Raleigh – GONE”
“Landrieu’s Armageddon”
“Landrieu: Murders Americans”
“Millions displaced –Xander pledges revenge for lives lost”
“Xander urges displaced Americans to join his cause”
“California spared of nuclear attack. President Wyland says own nuclear arsenal secure.”
“Report: AFA forces on frontlines retreat”




I realize thats hard to see. I won't use that map again.

Brown X - Failed launch
Green X - Missile detonated in the ground
Red X - Launch & detonation on a populace
Blue X - Detonation over sea

So that's like half of St.Louis and Austin and all of  Washington DC and Raleigh. That's what? 4 million people? have any other nuclear weapons gone off it other countries? I guessing that though the US's involvement in the Global Civil War has been only six months old, probably more people have died in it around the world than both world wars combined.

I'll address each country's nuclear arsenal.

India - Secure, for the most part. The military has maintained control even though the country is fragmented. The military has also threatened to detonate the nuclear weapons if approached.

Pakistan - Some were secured by India, others weren't. Intelligence on where they are now does not exist.

China - Nuclear arsenal is relatively secure because all sides of its civil war have them. Should the Chinese feel safer b/c of that?  Nope.

Israel - Secure

France - The French nuclear arsenal was dismantled before the country fragmented.

United Kingdom - Secure

Russia - Checynan rebels nuked Moscow, nuclear arsenal is not secure.

So that's what? 12 million people dead in one day. Civil Nuclear War... fun...

I am guessing this is still the tip....I see this timeline where by 2050 the world resembles Brave New World when some post-apocalyptic power "liberates" the world or Fallout New Vegas, where there are a few succesor states and very large organized gangs that fight over control of what the future will look like.

An excerpt from Russ Feingold’s Death of a Nation

“In the immediate days after 9/2/2017 many who had hoped Xander would defeat Landrieu had second thoughts as Xander’s forces retreated west and south and USA forces moved forward –the bulk of their strength going south.

The nuclear attack was not without repercussion for Landrieu. Many in the Midwest who still believed in America –or at least had not outwardly rebelled—were now up in arms. Landrieu’s men began to arm local --what amounted to—warlords to keep the populace in line.

The nuclear attacks near Virginia and in North Carolina shook their people’s faith that the AFA was the right answer for them –but the opposite happened in New England which was spared of a nuclear detonation.

Many diaries that I have read of people in AFA controlled territory since that day note that the Xander’s promises dried up. First the aid came to their cities in large quantities and after that it quickly dried up –until only unfulfilled promises remained to the citizens in the Armed Forces of America’s territory….but many thought of Xander more highly than Landrieu –if they thought of the nation at all.




Darker = More Control (Less contested)
Lighter = Less Control (More contested)

Green – American Nation of California
Blue – United States of America
Red – Armed Forces of America
Gray – American Nation of Arizona
Gold – American Nation of New York


September 8, 2017 – Transmission from General Xander to his top generals

“All troops are to move south of any areas in which a nuclear bomb was detonated and forbidden from being due east.”

September 9, 2017 – War Room, President Landrieu and other top officials.

“Mr. President, AFA forces are retreating, it seems our nuclear attack has scared them.”
“Good, I want all our forces to follow them –hunt them down and kill them. No traitor will go unpunished.”
“Sir, they out number us –this does not seem like a good idea –“
“They are retreating, they know our air forces are superior, we have them running now is the time to strike.”
The Secretary of the Air Force interjects “Sir, the radiation –“
“The radiation won’t be an issue” Landrieu cuts off his Secretary. “Hunt them down.”
“Yes Mr. President.”

California Free Press - September 9, 2017

“Earlier today United States Secretary of Defense Rudy Giuliani was captured in the last area of America control in Idaho. Giuliani had been dispatched by President Palin to the western front prior to the accident that killed her and her family. Since then, his whereabouts had been unknown.

The California Attorney General has announced that Giuliani will be charged in California. The Armed Forces of America have already requested for Giuliani to be extradited, as well has the American Nation of New York –all claiming Giuliani’s citizenship. President Mark Wyland has called the claims “baseless.”

An excerpt from Russ Feingold’s Death of a Nation

“The Armed Forces of America continue their retreat into the fall and winter of 2017. Landrieu’s forces pursued them but Landrieu aggression and nearsightedness led to his own forces withering away.
   The areas controlled by the United States of America were mostly landlocked, and supplies were hard to come by. The Canadians had refused to help any side of the Second American Civil War so the United States, its people and its military began to starve, however; Landrieu did not realize it was not merely starvation killing his own troops.
