Russian Rule-let
More had just been shot down. No one knew what was going on. For once, the U.S.A. government felt weak. General Watson knew he couldn’t send any more planes, as they were just getting shot to shreds. "Admiral, what’s it looking like in Egypt?" inquired General Watson. "Al-Qaeda is still paired with the Russians and Germany; they just shot down our supply planes." replied the Admiral tensely. "Now Germany, that’s the fifth European country that has turned it’s back on us in 3 months" The attack from Germany was like a sucker punch to the face. America was already waging the Korean War (now in full force) and the Middle Eastern War, which looked to be hopeless. Why had the Russians stuck their noses in U.S. affairs? The American government was baffled, lost in a maze of lies and what ifs. Good thing the homeland didn’t know, because the public would be panicking, questioning the government and running scared like there was no tomorrow. This new information was never going to get to the Pentagon, because the aircraft carrier off the shore of England had just been blown sky high. "What in the name of Washington just happen?" demanded General Rakefon. "We lost the aircraft carrier off the coast of England to Russian missiles. General Watson was aboard." a nervous commanding officer said. This was the last straw for General Rakefon. He called the Pentagon telling the Congress to give up the Middle Eastern War and declare war on Russia. Pairing with Al-Qaeda to take down the Middle East, destroying 19 American aircraft carriers and testing nuclear missiles on U.S. soil had been very bold and aggressive of Russia. The U.S. needed to retaliate. In the Pentagon, Congress met and agreed to grant the General Rakefon’s request almost immediately. It was time to put a stop to Russia’s relentless and selfish acts. Rakefon’s family had a long and prosperous reputation in the military. His Grandfather, Dad and the General himself had served as the General of Defense. Although the General had had to step down due to a power struggle with the President, he still had a greater influence than anyone else regarding defensive strategies. Rakefon was the guy you did not dare question about military tactics. Some even said his influence on the government was greater than Obama’s. The naval base had erupted with the news of the new war. Some were happy, some were scared and some didn’t care. For the ones who didn’t care, a war was a war, just a different enemy to defeat. Rakefon himself had mixed feelings. He was glad the U.S. was going to put Russia back in it’s place, but part of him wondered if the U.S. could do it. The Russians were now paired with the most powerful terrorist group in the world, and they controlled the Middle East. The U.S.’s power and defense were weakening, because the nation was losing allies. This war was going to be the hardest and most important war in a long time for the U.S. Three months later, the U.S. was in no better shape. The war with Russia had not yet seen a battle, but reports said both sides were finishing preparations. The U.S. had decided to reschedule the election to next year with an important war going on. Rakefon knew the U.S. was in trouble, when Japan and Australia declared alliances with Russia. However, the matter that left the General looking like a confused lunatic was trying to figure out why Russia was helping so many countries, or was it the other way around. Whatever way it was, big news had come last week, when England started to let Russian troops into their countries. The U.S. was outraged by this and demanded to know the meaning of this action. The English responded by saying it was for protection, as some other European countries had turned their backs on the U.S. and they feared the same. The U.S. thought that reason was as ridiculous as the Pittsburg Steelers immaculate reception, and demanded the real reason. They had heard no response from England in three days and, "General Rakefon" . "What is it Mr. Philbrick?" The General had dozed off. He was at a meeting in the Pentagon discussing the details of the nation’s first move in the Russian war; it was a stressful discussion, as the U.S. hadn’t fought the Russians since the cold war and didn’t know their new tactics. Just now, Timothy Philbrick, the General’s long time friend and recently assigned personal aid, had brought something to his attention. "We have just received a reply from England," stated Tim. He was speaking to everyone now. "Tim, it will be necessary for you to tell us what they said. " ordered the General anxiously. "Well, General Rakefon, I have not read it yet, allow me to pull it up on the big screen." said Tim. The message was put up on the screen. At first glance, Rakefon noticed it was only a paragraph long. He had a bad feeling in his stomach. He had seen these types of messages before, and they never had good news. The message was read: "Dear United States of America, As you already know, Russian troops entered our country with our permission last week. You demanded a reason, as we have been allies for quite some time, and now you are at war with the Russians. We gave you a reason, that being to protect our country, and you did not believe it. This was wise, as it was not the true reason. The truth is that we are now allies with the Russians. We have reviewed the facts and decided that supporting the Russians in the new war is the better decision for the security and prosperity of our country. The Russians will be using our country as a base in the new war. Unfortunately, with this agreement in place, we are going to have to part ways with you. The English-Speaking Treaty that we signed in mid 1800’s is no longer in affect. Please understand, as these valid reasons for our course of action. -The British Parliament" When the reading of this news was complete there had never been so many Gasping men at the same time. This was the greatest blow to the U.S. by far. Rakefon immediately suggested that they should test a new nuclear missile on England. Congress agreed. They had been looking to test the nuclear missiles anyways. With the action of the testing, the U.S. would state that they had no hesitation in attacking England, and it would show they were confident that they were going to win the war, and the US hoped these hostile actions would persuade the parliament to change their alliance. The plan was signed, and the nuclear missile station was informed of their important duties for tomorrow’s test. A week later, things had only gotten worse for the United States. The positive thing was that the nuclear missile had lived up to its potential and killed almost half the Russian troops in the England. However, this had only angered the British more, and they tested one of their missiles on an innocent U.S. cargo ship headed back home, after learning that the treaty had been broken. The U.S. had not done anything since the attack, because they had received a message from South Korea instructing them to pull all of their troops out of Korea, because they were going to surrender in the next two weeks.. Rakefon had argued against this, as he said that they couldn’t give up two wars in six months and both in Russia’s favor. For once, Congress sided against Rakefon. Congress’s decision was based on the facts that the U.S. was lacking allies, already had enough problems with the British and Russia, and the nation needed the troops for the new war. Rakefon eventually agreed, and they had started to talk about possible allies… "We should ask Canada and Mexico to take our side." Rakefon threw out there. "Neither will do much good." "They are both neighboring allies, and can be used as scouts for attacks coming from the north and south. Anyways, if Canada takes our side and we win, they can finally part ways with England. Besides we know that they’ve secretly wanted to that do for the past couple of decades." declared Rakefon. "True but they may side with Britain, fearing that once they declared war, they would be attacked." "If they make the first move strongly without England ever knowing they were at war, they should be left alone" "Yes, but we can only assume that, why not try to side with some Europeans?" This Man who kept arguing his point was really starting to push Rakefon over the edge. "Some have already fired at us before this Russian thing ever started; the only reason we should go over there should be to attack Russia directly" "Yes, trying to reason with some European countries will most likely be wasting our time. We shall carry out your plan General Rakefon" He knew no one was keeping score, but he had just out debated President Obama making the score 5-2. Waiting to hear responses had always been a hard thing for Rakefon, whether it was concerning the government, his money or his family. It started when his older brother had been hospitalized in Iraq when he was 17. Back then his Dad was only a colonel, and you had to be a general for family members to get privileges. He had been told that his brother had been hospitalized in critical condition, and he came home from school every day hoping his brother had stabilized but fearing he had dropped dead. A week later his brother had lost the battle. Ever since, he always feared the negative outcomes and viewed the positives as a blue moon. Two weeks later, Rakefon was on a plane headed toward an army base. His mission was to get a captive to talk. He couldn’t stop thinking about the responses they had gotten from potential allies. Mexico had said they were going to stay neutral during this war and only fight if there was fighting on their soil. Although, Mexico would gladly monitor all Central American, South American and Caribbean Countries for Russian troops. As for Canada, they had given the U.S. a one word message-"Surprise". No one could interpret what it meant until about a second later, when a Canadian bomber flew over and tried to blow up the Pentagon. Of course, the Pentagon can resist almost any type of pressure expect for a hotel falling on it from space, but Rakefon didn’t think something like that was ever going to happen. He quickly determined what happened; the Russians had allied with the British and the Canadians who had never gained full independence from England. The General’s head was spinning. This all seemed like it was happening too fast. Six months for two wars starting or picking up and then ending, Russia picking a fight (also starting a war), and two major allies turning their backs – too much, way too fast. It almost seemed like this whole thing had been planned. This was no time for the General to think though; they were landing in Toronto. This was the city they had taken in the first battle between the U.S. and Canada. "Talk now, or we’ll shoot you" barked Rakefon at the captured Canadian soldier. "You can’t shoot me, you’ll never find out about the new order." shouted the soldier. "What new order?" The soldier wouldn’t talk. "Bang" went Rakefon’s M9 Pistol. "Next" he called. They were using three captive strategy with the captives. If the first one didn’t talk, you’d kill him to show the other two you weren’t messing around. This usually got the second one talking, knowing you weren’t afraid to kill captives, because you had more. In this case it worked. "The new order was established in 2000. The Russians were put in charge of it. It was designed to take out the most powerful country in the world, obviously America. It started with the terrorist attacks of 2001 and then we fixed the election of 2008, getting a foreign President in office, to weaken you guys internally. Then after you guys wrapped-up the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, we figured that it would be a good time to catch you off guard by taking out the rejections." "Which would be who?" questioned Rakefon. "Egypt and South Korea rejected the idea. Mexico said it wanted to stay neutral, so we have no quarrel with them, but we will eventually take their land." Rakefon got on the phone to speak with the Supreme Court. Obama needed to be impeached right away and to alert the country that War World 3 was beginning, U.S. vs. Russia with Russia controlling the rest of the world.

i thought this was a great story because it was interesting to see something different where the "good guys" don't win at the end. Also it was interesting how you use history to make your story better. for example ""The new order was established in 2000. The Russians were put in charge of it. It was designed to take out the most powerful country in the world, obviously America. It started with the terrorist attacks of 2001 and then we fixed the election of 2008." Therefore, the story is made more realistic.
