100 Years: The World Changes

[leninsbeard]

August 27th 2019- Paul Bokor Quietly removes Oprah Winfrey from Vice Presidency (Reasons Obvious). In it's place, Public Relations Wonder: Senator from California Chris Tucker. Tucker is noted for being first a Comedian, then a Police Officer, and then Junior Senator. Pershing Wonders why this Could happen.

August 31st 2019- "My Fellow Americans, a little while ago, I said that I wold Annex States of Canada in order to reunite Alaska. And likewise, that may or may not come back to hunt me depending on what I say tonight. During the Bokor Points, I established that Canada would never be Annnexed as long as I'm President, learning the error of my ways. But now I must put my plan straightforward. If elected, no Country will be annexed, no Country that has a Soverignty shall be rotted away by a Foreign Power. And to all of those in the Cascadia and Canadian sectors, I offer you my sincerest of apologies."

November 5, 2018: The Midterm Elections. In the House: Tara Patrick wins her New York Seat again, much to the dismay of her enemies in the Liberal Party. Putin being more of a moderate then a Moore Socialist, mitigates the advantage of having a party with a president gaining seats. Liberal House Representative Oliver Dunkirk is convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, after an intern he was having an affair with, threatened to have his baby and tell the press.

In the Senate, Ashley Pershing runs and wins with 67.8% vote versus Liberal Challenger Ronald Uberroth, and Socialist Challenger Donald J. Depp. In Colorado, Republican Senator Johnathan Winters, formerly of Archer Chemical, dethrones Liberal Senator Alexis Sinclair, surprising many political analysts as Colorado had previously been a Liberal Stronghold, and Sinclair's seat wasn't seen as threatened.

The Socialists meet, saying that the Republicans have stabbed them in the back, and that the compromise for 2020 shouldn't be followed, but President Putin is adamant that it be followed. "The Republicans gave us the Presidency in 2016, and have been helping us since 2012, I will not stab them in the back over 1 senator and 3 House members. If any of you work against that, expect to be on the non-invite list for any event at the White House. We will redouble for 2020 Congress races and pick up seats then."

<Had to make the Socialist purple since Les Paul was Green colored back in the 1970s>

<Because of how the Liberals split the South has been a bit of a political no man's land. Hence why the CMA gets the support that it does.>

November 12, 2018: California's Socialist Governor Steven J. Simpson (OTL Steve Jobs) that in 2022 he will not be running for re-election to a third term.

December 1, 2019: Governor Willis despite months of questions regarding Bokor's invitation to stay on as Secretary of State, remains silent on the matter, announces to the Press angrily that "I will announce my choice in September of 2020. Now does anyone have questions regarding the new Trade Pact with Costa Rica?"

<Willis will make his choice in September, and dominating a news cycle only a month before the election. As much as Pershing and Bokor would want that cycle, it lies solely in the hands of Secretary Willis' decision. When we start the 2020s I will write that POD.>

December 4, 2019: The Socialist National Committee, takes a look at the congressional map, and focus on which congressional races. The Socialists will spend their money on Congressional seats over a guaranteed failure of a Sanders Presidental bid. They plan to shoot for gaining, Sonora, Baja, Nicaragua, and Florida. They briefly considered Guantanamo / Canal Zone, but didn't think they could challenge that Republican Stronghold. They hope that in the event of a Pershing Presidency that they will get control of the House.

December 15, 2019: Former President Walter Cronkite dies after a long battle with Cancer. In his last day he talked to his former VP and Protege David Letterman about the future of the Liberal Party, and spent the rest of his day with his family.

December 18, 2019: An article in American Politico titled The 4 Year Bokor Campaign. The article is about Bokor's campaign strategy which has stretched the Campaign Season back to just before the midterms, and the implications for future elections.

In the Steven v Stephen columns. Carrel points out that it distracts politicians but Colbert points out that politicians in such a situation would be less prone to doing unpopular legislation, to which Carrel counterpoints "Sometimes politicians have to make tough choices for the long term, that would be politically unpopular. A 24/7/365 election cycle would not have given us Dewey's Civil Rights, or Cronkite's legislation that assured true secularist government, but a nation where JPK would still be a viable candidate."

<Pershing avoids the long campaign flak because she was running to keep her senate seat in 2018, and subtlely start supporting a presidental bid while campaigning for the senate. It does set a dangerous precedent for elections.>

<Realized that no one filled in the 2018 midterms. Although to be fair we almost always forget them anyway. I am done with American Political PODs until the 2020s. Let's see what's going on in the rest of the world>

Hey? Here's Something that I noticed. When I was on Google to find Tera Patrick, she was a PORNSTAR! Then I found PornHub, where this video "F*()me Mr Officer" showed Tera Patrick, well!. Is THIS TERA IN ITTL?!? Bokor's definatley going to frolic in the fields. Prometheous gets the Reoublican side, Lenin gets Liberals, and Ze Kaiser gets Ze Social.

2020:

Sanders vs. Pershing vs. Bokor

[Prometheus_2300]

First its TARA, not TERA. and the name was randomly chosen by wikipedia random article button until I got a person. Her name could have just as easily been Beverly Cayenne, or Donna Lautrec (female forms of male names, since I decided to make the character female). Not that it matters since the PODs back in 1910, any person existing today could be virtually anything in the ATL. The most recent example is that Bokor is now Governor of Hawaii, whereas IOTL Bokor doesn't even have a wikipedia page (In fact this very thread is on the first page for a Google search of Paul Bokor). But here is Tara Patrick IOTL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Electra)

Patrick's background in this ATL since you asked

Patrick when she was younger was offered a modeling school scholarship but decided instead to go to NY University, majoring in Political Science. She got involved in upstate New York politics, and founded Champlain Crusaders, an Lake Champlain environmental group that makes Greenpeace look only mildly concerned about the environment. Got elected to the House.

Tara Patrick ITTL was never associated with any adult entertainment industry, way back when she was 22 she was offered a job at a modeling agency in New York but declined focusing on college.

Sorry Bokor doesn't get to frolic in the fields. When dealing with Patrick imagine you are dealing with McCarthy around his peak, and now you know how to write Tara Patrick.

If the Depression continued she would have become a fascist, but that's never happened, so... there we are. On alternativehistories.com (ATL's version of this website) someone posts threads on a possible Patrick presidency, following Rodham's assassination, becoming a dictator. With the Champlain crusaders becoming her Gestapo. Everyone calls them ASB

Here is the third draft of the 2010s:

May 24, 2010: Georgia W. Tesla-Bush, publishes her "W Theory" or as the media calls it, "The Theory of Everything" or "The Grand Unification Theory" as it successfully combines Einstein Physics with Quantum mechanics, successfully unifying the gravitational force with the other three forces.

September 15, 2010: Congresswoman Tara Patrick's opponent is involved in a scandal where his mistress was found dead on the side of the road. Although having a mistress is not that uncommon amongst politicians and barely merits a story, the death of one is a huge story, especially when Marc Reynolds, Patrick's opponent is brought in for questioning by the police.

September 17, 2010: Tara Patrick addresses the "Champlain Crusaders" a youth organization she founded several years ago for environmental awareness, and Quebec issues.

April 20, 2012: During a campaign speech in Lake Champlain, she pounds on the podium "America is weak because of the CMA! They attack our infrastructure, and damage our economy. They are to blame for our current Economic woes! <after an applause> If that was their only crime I would only advocate jail, but while working for HICTA I discovered that the CMA is supported by Mexico, still trying to seek revenge from the Baja War. I ask for your support in becoming Senator to find the true culprits of this conspiracy!"

June 9, 2012: At the Republican National Committee California Senator Bruce Willis is chosen as the nominee after only one ballot. Former President Robert F. Kennedy makes his last public appearance at the Convention, his reputation greatly improved since the 70s. At the Convention Willis speaks "America has given President Gates and the Liberals, four long years in office. America has suffered greatly, it is time for CHANGE." Republican Ticket in 2012: Bruce Willis / Ashley Pershing

June 16, 2012: At the Liberal National Committee, President Gates faces a challenge from New York Governor Hilary Rodham. Although he does clinch the nomination, the battle costs him much influence. Liberal Ticket: William Gates / Larry Ellison

June 19, 2012: At the Socialist National Convention, Michael Moore steps aside and endorses Alaskan Governor Vladimir Putin to become the nominee, with Sanders being VP.

August 9th 2012: Finnish government makes a 5 year plan on populating lappland. wich allows for the next 5 years people to move to lappland and if they do they will recive 10.000 marks and not having to pay taxes for the following 3 years. In just a few months the population of Lappland rises from 2000 thousand to hundreds of thousands and at the same time the Finnish unemployment rate drops down to just 0.01% a new record in the history of Finland

August 12, 2012: After years of heavy fighting Narusegawa Forces finally take Beijing, from the Hongzhi government. This is a momentous day as it delivers a crushing blow to Hongzhi, causing more moderate provinces, notably Shanghai and many southern Territories to join the Hong Kong Government. National museums in China are plundered by Narusegawa forces and immediately find their way to the auction block, many priceless relics are purchased by Private Japanese citizens.

September 1, 2012: First Debate: Foreign Policy - Willis is able to successfully portray himself as an expert in Foreign Policy, following his time at the State Department during the Forbes and Letterman Administration, along with his time in the Pacific Alliance Marines. Gates stumbles when he accidentally said he hoped "to continue a strong partnership with Japanese Prime Minister Kayabuki" forgetting she died in 2009. Vladimir Putin does surprisingly well, displaying a knowledge of Russian Affairs and how to deal with Russian PM Shkrebneva at the CN.

September 6th, 2012: New York General Strike; Organized crime figures/ labor leaders Steven Crea, Dominic Truscello and Joseph Tangorra launch a massive general strike after the municipal government in New York City, New York decalres bankruptcy....

September 8, 2012: Second Debate: Domestic - Gates is at a serious disadvantage following the absolute failures of two of his major economic policies during his term. Willis proposes banishing the income tax, awarding government contracts to companies that satisfy a set of conditions. Putin on the other hand argues for greater taxes on corporations and private industry, and massive increases in government spending, citing his performance in Alaska. Willis and Putin's debate would soon become one of the great presidential debates.

September 15, 2012: Vice Presidental Debate. Larry Ellison is sick, and althhough the campaign staff tries to conceal it, the audience perceives it. Ashley Pershing is able to skillfully outmanuevered Sanders in the debate, showing that she has well deserved the title of "President Pershing's Heir Apparent"

September 16, 2012: Following Ellison's rough performance, news outlets around the country begin to write off President Gate's chances for re-election in doves. Governor Vladimir Putin reportedly takes Sanders' defeat strangely well and tells his running mate, "You win some. You lose some, comrade."

September 18, 2012: Governor Putin briefly heads back to Alaska to sign the Alaskan Clean Plastics Bill into law, a campaign promise he made during his last re-election race. Over the next five to seven years, the new law will gradually intigrate a recently discovered process for creating several everyday plastics from oil into the massive Alaskan plastics industry. The fact that the new process cuts down on pollution by roughly 72% sparks attention across the nation. Putin's support amongst the sizable environmentalist crowd greatly increases.

September 24, 2012: Not to be outdone, Governor Willis of California awards the CALRAIL project to Page Construction, which will provide jobs for thousands of skilled and unskilled people in California. The CALRAIL Project being a MagRail Train system for California. The Rail starts in Tiajauna splits at Los Angeles. One line going up the coast, the other going up the central valley, reuniting to one line in Chico, and continuing to Crescent City. There is also a Line going from San Francisco to Reno.

September 25, 2012: With President Gates approval numbers dipping into the teens, Gallup publishes the latest poll

Gates: 16%
Putin: 34%
Willis: 36%
UNDECIDED: 14%

Putin and Willis are both within margin of error, and the undecideds still play a major role.

September 30, 2012: President Gates, is told by his staff that barring a miracle, he will NOT be re-elected. As Nathan Dallek would say in his book published in 2036 The Fall into Darkness "Overall Gates performed well as a president but, suffered from disaster after disaster, and was cursed by the worse Economic Recession since the Bingham Panic of 1933"

September 30, 2012: After refusing the advice of his campaign staff to drastically step up smear tactics against Willis (Outside of the mild, very subtle jabs Putin is known for. Gates, on the other hand, has more or less become an acceptable target for anything), Governor Vladimir Putin begins to answer the voters' questions about what his policies would be. He presents what he calls his "Four Year Plan," which would begin to put Americans back to work by building up the infrastructure of the country with the newest, most effective technology and further explore the budding technological field that has helped Japan boom. He stresses that he would continue his policy of what he called "wise government spending." In other words, the Four Year Plan would increase the government spending drastically, but it would largely avoid the "stimulus pork" certainly Republicans claim Putin would bring by spending the money wisely instead of throwing it recklessly everywhere. The Four Year Plan also presents tax increases on businesses... just not the 50% increases that many socialist radicals begged Putin to implement and that radical Republicans said Putin would bring. The tax hikes are ironically lower than anything President Gates has attempted to place on business during his term (a large Republican majority in Congress has blocked the effort). If anything, the new taxes would hardly be noticed in the long run, and Putin proclaims that he will actually search and implement a notable tax decrease for the ailing middle class. He cites how such a thing has been done in other parts of world that have strong economies. Another element of the FYP is to put regulations in place that would largely prevent another recession from occurring in the same fashion as the current one. That in particular serves to bring in many Liberals and Liberal Democrats into the Putin Camp as well as fully unite the Socialist party. Overall, the Four Yean Plan is taken rather well by the public for many of its proven-to-work ideas and not being overly radical in its nature as so many have feared from Putin, but analysts begin to wonder how much Governor Putin would actually be able to put through a largely Republican Congress.

October 13, 2012: The Tesla Technology Index crashes 982 points following a recent report of the "American Brain Drain" with recent American college graduates moving out of the country for graduate school in Britain, Johannesburg, or Kyoto; and not returning to the USA.

November 1, 2012: Governor Willis, in an attempt to outdo Putin, rolls out his "New Deal" for America, stressing importance on cutting government spending and tax cuts to increase spending. Willis also ignores his campaign staff's advice to step up smear attacks on Putin, "First one to go negative loses. Only roll out the ads if Putin does."

November 5, 2012: An Assassination attempt is made on recently elected Senator Patrick. A group of four Champlain Crusaders intercept the assassin and neutralize, and then beat him. When police arrive the assassin is nearly dead. Patrick uses the event to prove that "The CMA fear me finding out the truth and turning all of the nation against them. As Senator I will fight to have the CMA labelled as a terrorist organization, and if had the power kill them on sight." Also on this day, Election Day; The country votes. Vladimir Putin wins the election, narrowly outperforming Willis. Putin becomes the first Socialist Party Candidate to be elected President. However the Republicans were able to gain much ground in Congress taking back both houses with clear majorities. Putin extends to Willis the post of Secretary of State, which he accepts. The Liberals are definitely on hard times, they will probably have to resort to drastic measures to stay alive politically. Sure hope they don't put the wrong person on the ticket in 16 <whistling innocently>

House

159 S
174 R
102 L

Senate (112 members, remember 56 states)

The Liberals have definitely taken a pounding following the failure of the Gates Administration, and getting most of the blame of the financial panic

*************

January 4, 2013: Cyber terrorists have a heyday as the Wall Street Stock Exchange is successfully hacked. The incident is so bad that the term "Depression" begins to replace the term "Recession." Conspiracy theorists quickly accuse President Gates of trying to wreck any chances the next President has at reviving the economy.

January 9th, 2013 Suomiyhtiöt officially opens for bussiness the nationwide mag lev train network.

January 17, 2013: Following the Wall Street Hackings, most companies estimate that nearly a $150 billion dollars of damage was inflicted. As a result, many people lose their jobs over the month, sending unemployment to a record 28%.

January 20, 2013: In his inauguration speech, President Putin promises the American people that he will, at the very least, pave the road to recovery. He asks for patience as the United States has never faced an economic crisis of this size before, and he proclaims that things will change for the better.

January 22, 2013: President Putin begins his "Four Year Plan" by submitting the new regulations bill to Congress. He braces himself for long debates.

January 26, 2013: President Putin talks to Socialist pary leaders about which party to side with.

September 13 2016- With Paul Bokor and Vladimir Putin Shockingly Neck and Neck, Paul Bokor knows that while the Liberal Party would be defeated, and the Republicans not having that much a Chance, he knows that the Republicans would backdoor Paul into extinction, so Paul has to win at least 50% of the Electoral College, so topping "Don't Change Horses in Midstream" speech, he creates the "America 1st Again" Speech. In it, he says that, "America is the largest Country to every be named Freedom. Our Nation was built on the principle of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Although Vladimir Putin is right about America returning to #1, we are not their yet. Yes, we need to tax the Rich, Yes, we need to lower Unenployment, but how are We Going To DO That if The DEBT IS RAISED! Vlad, you are a Great man, but by the End of 2025, I want a Man on Jupiter, Not Because It's Possible, but because It's impossible! I will work TO DEATH, just so that Sky-Clads like the Late Great Dr.Martin Luther King can be Free AT Last, Free AT Last.

In San Diego, Ashley Pershing attends the opening of the first CALRAIL Station skyclad, and gives a speech about the benefits of CALRAIL. It effectively turns around Pershing's Election.

What weird funky election would return that result? Demand a recount, something odd is going on Mr. President."

November 5th 2016- When over 320 Million People Wake up that Morning, it's the Greatest Day of all time. Election Day. Only Time Will Tell who wins. Ashley Pershing Snags New York and Parts of the Bible Belt, but goes to 3rd Place, Hillary embarrissingly only gains the California's, and the Southwest Area, then proceeds to outlash the Tera Patrick Campaign for being Dead Last. For Putin and Bokor, it's down to the remaining 40 or so States. Paul at first leads with Illinois, but Putn then leades with Alaska. After 54 States and 2 to go, Paul Bokor NEEDS to win BOTH Hawaii and Ohio. At first, Vladimir Putin looks like as if he would retain the Presidentail Election, but then, late returns show that Paul Bokor has won Ohio and Hawaii, giving him exactly 53% of the Votes. Paul Bokor and Oprah Winfrey had won the 2016 Presidential Election in the biggest Upset of All-Time, Paul In a Victory Speech Celebrated in his Home State in Hawaii at Aloha Stadium with "GOD BLESS YOU HAWAII AND OHIO! Thanks for giving me the Victory and 4 Years of Change. I just want to Cngratulate President Putin and whatever happens to him, and now, America is once again #1!"

Bokor could easily get governor of Hawaii, getting skyclad legislation passed out there, or a senator. It would be nice to see him and Patrick fight in Congress. Also on this day, speculation and voting in the house begins. The remaining Liberals are firmly behind Rodham as the Socialists are behind Putin. Most of the Republicans are behind Pershing, but there remains a sizeable group of moderate/liberal Republicans who could go either way. After all President Putin has been on good terms with the GOP since Day 1.

November 26, 2016: After what one Congressman describes as a "deals worked in bathroom stalls behind closed doors behind closed doors in a smoke filled room," the House gives President Vladimir Putin a second term, citing "the man technically won the election."

If any of you work against that, expect to be on the non-invite list for any event at the White House. We will redouble for 2020 Congress races and pick up seats then."

Now is the time to return to Normal Economic growth, and return America to one of the great economic powers

2. Fostering economic growth through the use of subsidies. Encouraging Private sector growth by competing with the public options created by Putin, which they were barred from competing under the Four Year Plans.

Domestics

1. The cancellation of a Third Four Year Plan. Now that the economy is recovered we no longer need such extreme measures. Create banking reforms and renovations so that another "Depression" can never happen again.

2. The Expansion of CALRAIL Across the nation, but with allowing for private mag rail lines to operate on the rails, along with the National CALRAIL system, fostering private industry of mag rails, and freight travel.

3. Reform the Criminal Justice Code to fit 21st century crimes, specifically aimed at fighting corporate corruption, the spread of organized crime, and reducing the rising tide of sexual assault crimes.

5. NASA, will work in concert with the Pacific Alliance Space Directive to create more unmanned scientific platforms in Deep Space.

Foreign Policy

1. Maintain our responsibilities as one of the founding members of the Pacific Alliance.

Bokor did the usual defending speech that seals the deal... Until Patrick calls Bokor "A Filthmonger Skyclad Ba^&rd!". Bokor then famously said to Tera Patrick, "You Think I'm AN Idiot? You Think you can Waltz in here with that Perky Little Face and those Puffy Little Breasts of Yours and you get whatever you want? I'm going to teach you a lesson YOU'LL NEVER FORGET!". That alone silenced all of Paul's Critics. Paul would later say "Next Year, I shall revive the Liberal Party, to what it once was, as it shall.

Her response gains her several positive points in the area of foreign policies

August 21st 2019- "Forget It" says Hilary Rodham as she Declines a possible 2020 Presidential Election Bid.

And so in Kansas City, Kansas, Paul Bokor announces that his new running mate shall be.... Bruce Willis of California. Almost immediatley, shocks were sent up the spineways of the Republicans, Socialists, Liberals, Independants, and any other type of Political Party. While Bruce Willis agreed to switch sides, this angered 2 People especially:

1. Ashley Pershing: This was suppose to be the Vice Presidentail Candidate on HER SIDE, not some Liberal Side. Pershing tries to find a way to attack Bruce Willis, possibly trading in Votes in order to tarnish the Reputation of Willis and Bokor.

2: Oprah Winfrey: Although she knew about this a Week Beforehand, she didn't believe that Paul would get Bruce Willis in Charge. It was bad enough that she would have to give up all Tesla and Chicago Stock just to be VP, but now, Tesla's fighting back. If the Race ends up as a tie, Tesla gets more influence. Campaign Corruption will enter an All Time High thanks to Tesla's Opposition to the new Bokor-Willis Ticket

If elected, no Country will be annexed, no Country that has a Soverignty shall be rotted away by a Foreign Power. And to all of those in the Cascadia and Canadian sectors, I offer you my sincerest of apologies."

September 1st 2019- The Controversal but Very Well Received Film "Independant Collusion" is Released at the DC Movie Fastival (OTL's Caanes Festival). The Film, released by (Insert Successful and Highly Acclaimed Independant ATL Filmmaker) describes the Highly Controversal 2016 Election and how Paul Bokor lost the Election, and Possibly Pershing. Below is the Opening from Independant Collusion:
Was It All a Dream? God bless you, Hawaii and Ohio! Thank you! Did the last 12 Months not really happen? Look, there's Oprah Winfrey. She's often in my dreams. And the Plumber guy. He was there too. And big "Dr."Phil McGraw, he seemed so happy.... like a miracle had taken place. Was it a dream? We want Paul! Or was it real? It was election night 2016, and things seemed to be going as planned. In Tennessee, Paul Bokor is our projected winner. The Garden State is green for Bokor. We project Mr. Bokor the winner in Delaware. This state has voted with... Excuse me, one second. I'm sorry to interrupt. Mike, I wouldn't do this if it weren't big. Hawaii and Ohio goes for Paul Bokor. HBC announces that we call Hawaii and Ohio in the Paul Bokor column. Then something called the UBC Channel called the election... ... in favor of the other guy. UBC now projects Vladimir Putin the winner in Ohio and Hawaii... ...and thus it appears the winner of the Presidency of the United States once again. All of a sudden, the other networks said: "Hey, if UBC said it, it must be true." All of us at the networks made a mistake... ...and projected Hawaii and Ohio in the Paul Bokor column. It was our mistake. What most people don't know is that the man in charge... ... of the decision desk at UBC that night.... the man who called it for Putin... was none other than Putin's best Friend Dimitri Mendelev. How does someone like Putin get away with something like this? You know something? We are gonna win Ohio and Hawaii. Mark my words. You can write it down. Second, make sure your campaign chairman... .. is also the vote-count woman and that her state hires a company... to knock voters off the rolls who aren't likely to vote for you. you can usually tell them by the color of their skin, or if they have any clothes on. Then make sure your side fights like it's life or death. This talk about legitimacy is overblown. President Putin! President Putin! And hope the other side sits by. And even if numerous independent investigations... .. prove that Bokor or Pershing got the most votes... if there was a statewide recount, Bokor won the election. ... it won't matter, as long as all your friends... .. on the Supreme Court vote the right way. While I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. What we need now is acceptance. We have a new president-elect. It turns out none of this was a dream. It's what really happened. On the day the joint session of both the House of Representatives... ... and the Senate was to certify the election results... ... Vladimir Putin, in his role as president... ... presided over the event that would officially anoint... ... Vladimir Putin still as the president. If any congressman wanted to raise an objection, the rules insisted... ... that he or she had to have the signed support of just one senator. Mr. President, ...I must object because of the overwhelming evidence... of misconduct, deliberate fraud and an attempt to suppress voter... The chair must remind members that under Section 18 of Title 3... ...United States Code, no debate is allowed in the joint session. Thank you, Mr. President. To answer your question... ...the objection is in writing, signed by a number of members... ...of the House of Representatives, but not by a member of the Senate. Mr. President, it is in writing and signed by several House colleagues... ...on behalf, and myself, of the 27,000 voters of Aloha County... ...in which 26,000 of them are Hawaiians......that was disenfranchised in this last election. Is the objection signed by a member of the Senate? Not signed by a member of the Senate. The Senate is missing. It is in writing and signed by myself... ...on behalf of many of the diverse constituents... ...especially those in the 9th Congressional District... ...and all American voters who recognize that the Supreme Court... ...not the people of the United States, decided this election. Is the objection signed by a senator? Unfortunately, Mr. President, it is not signed by one single senator. I have no authority over the United States Senate... ...and no senator has signed. Mr. President, it is in writing and signed by myself and several... ...of my constituents from Ohio and Hawaii. A senator is needed, but missing. Is the objection in writing... ...and signed by a member of the House and a senator? The objection is in writing, and I don't care... ...that it is not signed by a member of the Senate. The chair will advise that the rules do care... ...and the signature of a senator... Not a single senator came to the aid of the SkyClads and Hawaiins in Congress. One after another, they were told to sit down and shut up. It's a sad day in America, Mr. President, when we can't find... ...a senator to sign the objections... - The gentleman will suspend... - Liberal, Republican or Socialist senators won't sign. - I object. - The gentleman will suspend.

September 12, 2019: At the opening of the latest CALRAIL station in Seattle, Pershing makes her famous "Rails across America Speech" an excerpt, "During Grant's term we had rails stretching from sea to shining sea, but with the advent of the aeroplane that isn't needed. I dream of one day being able to campaign across the country in much the same way that Dewey, and my Great Grandfather campaigned, and with CALRAIL expanding east of the Rockies, we not only revitalize America's crumbling rail industry but make America more efficient, and able to travel across the country quickly without waiting in line at security"

September 15, 2019: At a press conference in Sacramento, a reporter for the Catalina Bugle asks Pershing a question on skyclads. "In the 1990s I supported the Skyclad movement, my colleagues in Congress refused to acknowledge their freedom to live their lives how they wished. I believe that the freedoms that skyclads seek should be allowed to all Americans, but that it is for local governments to decide. What San Diego Residents find acceptable, might not be acceptable to Westboro Kansas and vice. I believe that skycladism is not a federal issue but one to be decided on the state level." Pershing takes a more moderate position on skyclads, but does not alienate skyclads entirely, leaving it in the hands of the states and local governments.

October 1, 2017: Journal of International Politics in response to the scandals and human rights violations in Nauru, focuses an entire issue on "The Pacific Alliance in the New Millenium" One article written by Samantha Bee, entitled "The Moral Compass of Pacific Alliance" which argues that the United States has always been the moral compass of the Pacific Alliance, citing the examples of Dewey, Letterman and South Africa, and criticizing Japan's lack of anything regarding Narusegawa, and the British Commonwealth's actions in Africa. Also that during the Gates Depression, America turned isolationist, meaning that the Pacific Alliance hasn't had its moral compass.

Should the Pacific Alliance offer reparations to the Republic of Nauru.

Secretary Willis would later remark in his autobiography. "Brazil and South Africa supported the reparations as did I. Nigeria, Dubai, and Australia and the UK didn't. Canada didn't want to tick off anyone. If I had another day I could have gotten Japanese PA Delegate Kuriyama to vote in favor of reparations. She had had led the charge against Narusegawa in the Diet, and a close ally of Kanzaki, but when Kanzaki's government fell... well not many in Tokyo were willing to listen."

August 27th 2019- Paul Bokor knows that that the approval ratings are slowly slipping, and Paul knows that a Couple of Points were knocked off in 2016 because of Oprah Winfrey-Tesla's involvement. So on this day, he makes a bold decision: Cut out Oprah. This might stir him against the most powerfuk corportaion in America, but in order to succeed, he does so. On this day, Paul Bokor announces after making a Backroom deal by a Republican Person to limit SkyClad to the States and abolish many of Bokor's riduculous ideas, Paul Agrees. And so in Kansas City, Kansas, Paul Bokor announces that his new running mate shall be.... Bruce Willis of California. Almost immediatley, shocks were sent up the spineways of the Republicans, Socialists, Liberals, Independants, and any other type of Political Party. While Bruce Willis agreed to switch sides, this angered 2 People especially.

1. Ashley Pershing: This was suppose to be the Vice Presidentail Candidate on HER SIDE, not some Liberal Side. Pershing tries to find a way to attack Bruce Willis, possibly trading in Votes in order to tarnish the Reputation of Willis and Bokor.

2: Oprah Winfrey: Although she knew about this a Week Beforehand, she didn't believe that Paul would get Bruce Willis in Charge. It was bad enough that she would have to give up all Tesla and Chicago Stock just to be VP, but now, Tesla's fighting back. If the Race ends up as a tie, Tesla gets more influence. Campaign Corruption will enter an All Time High thanks to Tesla's Opposition to the new Bokor-Willis Ticket

August 27th 2019- Paul Bokor Quietly removes Oprah Winfrey from Vice Presidency (Reasons Obvious). In it's place, Public Relations Wonder: Senator from California Chris Tucker. Tucker is noted for being first a Comedian, then a Police Officer, and then Junior Senator. Pershing Wonders why this Could happen.

So who is Bokor' hopeful running mate in 2020. We have Willis and Tucker both with PODs in August of 2019, with Tucker being the later one

So Leninsbeard who is it and which POD should be removed for August? I am assuming Willis is the one you want to remove as you wrote Tucker later on in the thread?

But they also joined the Pacific Alliance in 2014.

I am starting to think you got something against a space elevator anywhere ...:)

Well the Pacific Alliance isn't moving it a fourth time, so expect conflict here, once its completed in 2022, followed by shocked indignation from Pacific Alliance members and firing of a couple dozen middle managers, once it gets exposed. Brazil will probably get hit with paying reparations, just by virtue of they covered it up, to trick the Pacific Alliance. The Space Elevator will probably become the first PA Joint Territory in 2025ish, just to defend the Space Elevator

[Mr_ Bondoc]

But they also joined the Pacific Alliance in 2014.

I am starting to think you got something against a space elevator anywhere ...:)

Well the Pacific Alliance isn't moving it a fourth time, so expect conflict here, once its completed in 2022

Actually, I am pointing out that :

A) America is not the moral compass that it thinks it is...
B) People will choose political expediency over human rights any day. Just look at American foreign relations with China, Saudi Arabia, or Russia
C) Third, just as seen in the book Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire by Chalmers Johnson, there is always unintended political consequences for foreign policy, especially when dealing with totalitarian states....

As Spike pointed out in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "You won. All right? You came in, and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, 'I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it."

[Prometheus_2300]

That's the point of me labelling them the moral compass. They think they are but in actuality they are not a good moral compass, but Japan and Great Britains are worse in regards to human rights records, what with Narusegawa and Britain in Africa. America can at least point to the legacies of Dewey, Cronkite and Letterman (Racial Equality, Secularism, and South African Independence). It's all about perceptions as Dewey's legacy didn't get results until the 70s, Cronkite only by shattering the Democratic Party, Letterman... well that's actually holding up well

However I would argue that no other bloc is much better in regards to Human rights. The EDC keeps Africa in colonies. Russia outright Imperialism. It goes with one of my running themes ITTL, Lack of Self-determination of nations. The SocioEconomic blocs are really just an evolution of imperialism in my mind, one that even foreign colonies of European powers are buying into

yes you are absolutely right. Count up the nations in the world in this ATL that aren't in an economic bloc. There are only 36 countries in the world not in an econ bloc

[Mr_ Bondoc]

That's the point of me labelling them the moral compass. They think they are but in actuality they are not a good moral compass, but Japan and Great Britains are worse in regards to human rights My point is that the real reason that Brazil is selected as the site for the space elevator isn't because of human rights, it is purely about stability. Consider it is the reason people want to trade with China over India. Despite huamn rights violations, China has a more secure marketplace than India does...

Brazil can always counter any claims of indignation with, "Where do you want to go?... You've lost billions of dollars on attempts to build in Nauru and Kenya". Second, before Britain, Japan, or the United States demand reparations, consider that they are going to be more worried about the EUARS and Caliphate....

Yep. I was looking at the map. It's now either Brazil, or EDC Africa, or Indonesia, or the Ocean. And after 3 moves the PA will just sit there. It will probably turn into a pseudo-Darfur, with High walls to block the Alliance passengers going to Victoria-1 from seeing the oppression beyond the elevator base, seaport and airport.

It will probably turn into a pseudo-Darfur, with High walls to block the Alliance passengers going to Victoria-1 from seeing the oppression beyond the elevator base, seaport and airport. Considering the two moves, political unrest, and depressed economies the space elevator is already a political boondoggle and a fianncial disaster. This is similar to a film production wherein the filming has stopped twice, or two of the stars have left. Either way, conituing to build will be an easy political target for opponents...

March 2nd, 2019: Pacific Alliance stock falls c. 24.7% in one day of trading worldwide, after the value of Pacific Alliance bonds and long-term interest loans falls after the Nauru project is cancelled...

May 5, 2019: US Secretary of State Willis visits the EDC leadership in Zurich.

May 12, 2019: Secretary Willis visits the Pacific Alliance Embassy Row in San Francisco

May 30, 2019: The EDC becomes a joint partner in the Space Elevator with the Pacific Alliance. Bailing out the much troubled project, in exchange for PA preferential rates for lifts to Victoria-1, along with EDC military aid in the region.

July 30, 2019: The issues of the 2020 election change, and Ashley Pershing is the first one out of the gate in regards to Central America. "The Oaxaca Revolution is troublesome, it will continue to spark tensions throughout the region. If elected I will push for the CN to allow peacekeepers into the region, to maintain order and stability in the region, and reach a compromise between Mexico City and the EZLN. We do not need a civil war in our backyard." Later on during the Press briefing Pershing's Press Spokesman, Kristin Chenoweth, said, "...Although I suspect Bokor's 'plan' <in air quotes> would be to just annex the Oaxaca region and turn it into a state." The press chuckle but the perception is planted once more that Bokor is utterly inexperienced when it come to foreign policy.

<I am assuming the EZLN is going to try and overthrow the Mexican govt.>

<Pershing's going to keep hitting that point home. Everytime she does she gets more points in foreign policy compared to Bokor, as the 'Cascadia debacle' was a major embarassment for him. Pershing just has to subtly remind people of this and she gets votes. She will keep hitting it because if Bokor does anything more to quell it, it puts more egg on his face and distracts him from talking about anything else for weeks, where Pershing still gets the advantage, and can hit Bokor in other areas, while he is still playing damage control.>

[leninsbeard]

Chris Tucker is the Official 2020 Vice President of Bokor. Willis based on the Prometheous Sec of State Offer kick hin out of VP. Tucker, not Willis

[Prometheus_2300]

Ok. I was hoping to keep Willis as Secretary of State in a possible Pershing administration, but Pershing wouldn't announce it until maybe August of 2020 to get the news cycle.

Will be posting some PODs about other blocs in Space besides the Pacific Alliance later today

Coming Soon:
Russia

Non-USA Space Development

March 14, 2015: The EDC launches the 6 probe series, Odysseus. Two probes are scientific orbiters of the Sun. 1 for Mercury. Two orbiters for Venus, and one hardened automated research base (imagine a more sophisticated version of Pathfinder)

Electra 14 Disaster

October 14, 2017: While on the way to Mars, a Solar Flare erupts. Due to inadequate radiation shielding, the crew is bombarded with radiation. With no hope of return home they continue on their way to Mars to do their mission, despite the 22 person crew all suffering from the intense radiation. The 6 month stay on Mars could not be cancelled due to Orbit mechanics.

April 1, 2018: Flight Engineer and last surviving Crew member, Alexander Thatcher of Britain, boards the Electra 14 spacecraft with all of the crews mission work, and begins the trek home. Two thirds of the way back to Earth, Thatcher goes silent, and the ship is now under Mission Control's complete command.

December 15, 2018: The Electra 14 Spacecraft docks at Washington-1. Pacific Alliance Space Directive Astronauts board the ship. They find Thatcher dead in the cockpit.

Prometheus 2300- With all of the disasters, (financial, political, et al.), between the two moves, the scandals involved with the Electra Disaster, the idea that the space elevator being completed on time shrink exponentially.

It will still be completed on time. The first line is set, now a construction bot has to do it a few more thousand times to get it the appropriate thickness.

The issue is not the Space elevator itself so much as Victoria-1 the expected top of the elevator has been finished for years with all the carbon nanotubes in a reel that will be the Commerce ring of Victoria-1 once its fully open. it just needs a port to place along the equator, as a rope hanging down from geostat orbit isn't doing anyone much good. Victoria-1 Following Kenya was moved to above Nauru, and now above Brazil. Most of the Construction in Brazil is building the loading facilities, Seaport and Magrail station, and warehouses for the elevator. A city almost needs to be built around the Elevator to ensure maximum profitability and productivity. The problem is finding a place to build that city, that is stable enough for the traffic numbers expected. Brazil isn't ideal but its better then Kenya and Nauru ever were.

I suspect that Victoria-1 which is complete was about 80% of the whole project, the other 20% being administration, and building of the base station.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Well Argentina is going to be in for a surprise when they realize that Seraphim shoots their missiles from the sky, since Putin or the US never disclosed it existence publicly.

Also a simple solution for EMP bombs is to build Faraday cages. IOTL we already have them protecting Pentagon's computers and much financial infrastructure. In this world with its 50+ years beyond OTL tech who knows.

Putin shouldn't have to call a draft yet, but the Pacific Alliance is going to have to use their strategic nukes to take out that army on Brazil's border, and Pacific Central America. The 2020s will be in for a decade of hurt. Expect the rest of the world to be upset at Seraphim though (after the war), since it makes the Pacific Alliance the only bloc capable of winning a global nuclear war. <Regional, land based laser stations are common in Russia though but don't offer the total coverage that Seraphim does. I doubt Argentina had the money to build any besides maybe Buenos Aries.>

Also we should get some awesome naval battles. Pacific Alliance Fleet vs. Argentina, in both the Atlantic and the Pacific

If I may be so bold

December 31, 2019: It's a bright new day for Tara Patrick, her years of calling conspiracy proved right. America will now be biting at the teeth for the CMA's destruction fearing an Argentine backed insurrection is imminent in Texas and other CMA popular areas, and giving her a blank check and an instant kill mud slinging attack. Patrick's approval ratings shoot up to 56% according to InsideDC.com Poll tracking of all politicians. <In short Patrick gets a second wind with Argentinan threats, and is vindicated by this.>

January 3, 2020: The Pacific Alliance Submersible Akagi, sinks the General Verdez Battleship near the Galapagos Islands. A Naval photographer photographs the ship sinking. America Today uses the Photo on the front page, with the headline "GOTCHA!"

... So Mexico is taking it out of their own hands...?


Typo fixed. Remember that 9 of the 11 Seraphim satelites are communication satelites... mostly. I think it was Seraphims 5.5 and 8.5 that were military based. Let's just say those two are very powerful... and the others had similar, but slightly weaker capabilites just in case.

Also, I agree. The U.S. has a sizeable army of its own, so a draft isn't needed right of the bat. This is due to a sizable enlistment spike brought by desperate job seekers. They needed security, and Putin's reforms that gave soldiers that security with good benefits and pay.

December 31, 2019: Following Awakening Day, Tara Patrick dumps her list of thirty congressmen, and begins focusing on Argentinan infiltrators in America. In her journal she would write "Argentina... Who would have thought. All this time I was focusing on the CMA, I should have been focusing on them. Heck using that as a lever to sling mud I can get most of the Lower US (OTL: Sonora, Baja, Nicaragua) into my pocket. See you at the convention Bokor you are going to need it."

<If anything Argentina's Awakened Day gives Patrick lots more steam, enough to challenge Bokor for the liberal nom in 2020. A convention battle is now imminent, since the media will only report that Patrick was right to fear infiltrators, and since it was Argentina and not the CMA, she has to change gears fast to capitalize on it politically.>

January 1st 2020- Paul Bokor decides to give a Quick Speech this day, saying that, "Argentina has thratened our Friendly Neighbors in Central America.

They are to blame for our current Economic woes! <after an applause> If that was their only crime I would only advocate jail, but while working for HICTA I discovered that the CMA is supported by Mexico, still trying to seek revenge from the Baja War. I ask for your support in becoming Senator to find the true culprits of this conspiracy!"

Kennedy makes his last public appearance at the Convention, his reputation greatly improved since the 70s.

September 6th, 2012: New York General Strike; Organized crime figures/ labor leaders Steven Crea, Dominic Truscello and Joseph Tangorra launch a massive general strike after the municipal government in New York City, New York decalres bankruptcy....

Willis proposes banishing the income tax, awarding government contracts to companies that satisfy a set of conditions. Putin on the other hand argues for greater taxes on corporations and private industry, and massive increases in government spending, citing his performance in Alaska. Willis and Putin's debate would soon become one of the great presidential debates.

September 15, 2012: Vice Presidental Debate. Larry Ellison is sick, and althhough the campaign staff tries to conceal it, the audience perceives it.

September 25, 2012: With President Gates approval numbers dipping into the teens, Gallup publishes the latest poll

Gates: 16%
Putin: 34%
Willis: 36%
UNDECIDED: 14%

Putin and Willis are both within margin of error, and the undecideds still play a major role.

September 30, 2012: President Gates, is told by his staff that barring a miracle, he will NOT be re-elected. As Nathan Dallek would say in his book published in 2036 The Fall into Darkness "Overall Gates performed well as a president but, suffered from disaster after disaster, and was cursed by the worse Economic Recession since the Bingham Panic of 1933"

September 30, 2012: After refusing the advice of his campaign staff to drastically step up smear tactics against Willis (Outside of the mild, very subtle jabs Putin is known for. Gates, on the other hand, has more or less become an acceptable target for anything), Governor Vladimir Putin begins to answer the voters' questions about what his policies would be. He presents what he calls his "Four Year Plan," which would begin to put Americans back to work by building up the infrastructure of the country with the newest, most effective technology and further explore the budding technological field that has helped Japan boom. He stresses that he would continue his policy of what he called "wise government spending." In other words, the Four Year Plan would increase the government spending drastically, but it would largely avoid the "stimulus pork" certainly Republicans claim Putin would bring by spending the money wisely instead of throwing it recklessly everywhere. The Four Year Plan also presents tax increases on businesses... just not the 50% increases that many socialist radicals begged Putin to implement and that radical Republicans said Putin would bring. The tax hikes are ironically lower than anything President Gates has attempted to place on business during his term (a large Republican majority in Congress has blocked the effort). If anything, the new taxes would hardly be noticed in the long run, and Putin proclaims that he will actually search and implement a notable tax decrease for the ailing middle class. He cites how such a thing has been done in other parts of world that have strong economies. Another element of the FYP is to put regulations in place that would largely prevent another recession from occurring in the same fashion as the current one. That in particular serves to bring in many Liberals and Liberal Democrats into the Putin Camp as well as fully unite the Socialist party. Overall, the Four Yean Plan is taken rather well by the public for many of its proven-to-work ideas and not being overly radical in its nature as so many have feared from Putin, but analysts begin to wonder how much Governor Putin would actually be able to put through a largely Republican Congress.

October 13, 2012: The Tesla Technology Index crashes 982 points following a recent report of the "American Brain Drain" with recent American college graduates moving out of the country for graduate school in Britain, Johannesburg, or Kyoto; and not returning to the USA.

November 1, 2012: Governor Willis, in an attempt to outdo Putin, rolls out his "New Deal" for America, stressing importance on cutting government spending and tax cuts to increase spending. Willis also ignores his campaign staff's advice to step up smear attacks on Putin, "First one to go negative loses. Only roll out the ads if Putin does."

November 5, 2012: An Assassination attempt is made on recently elected Senator Patrick. A group of four Champlain Crusaders intercept the assassin and neutralize, and then beat him. When police arrive the assassin is nearly dead. Patrick uses the event to prove that "The CMA fear me finding out the truth and turning all of the nation against them. As Senator I will fight to have the CMA labelled as a terrorist organization, and if had the power kill them on sight." Also on this day, Election Day; The country votes. Vladimir Putin wins the election, narrowly outperforming Willis. Putin becomes the first Socialist Party Candidate to be elected President. However the Republicans were able to gain much ground in Congress taking back both houses with clear majorities. Putin extends to Willis the post of Secretary of State, which he accepts. The Liberals are definitely on hard times, they will probably have to resort to drastic measures to stay alive politically. Sure hope they don't put the wrong person on the ticket in 16 <whistling innocently>

Oprah of course is given the hardest job to do since she has to deal with the Tesla Corruption in Government. In a fiery 5 Minute Speech, Oprah defends her Tesla Stock, her MLB Teams, her past Senate Job, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, and enough stuff that Oprah gets a Rousing Ovation when she exclaims, "AND FOR THOSE THAT HATE AMERICA, HATE ADVANCEMENT, HATES FREEDOM OF SPPECH, I HAVE 3 WORDS!

At the very end, Putin states that "While there is little doubt that my opponent would be an effective leader for this country, I tell you this. We are currently midstream in our recovery. The shores of prosperity are within our grasp. On those shores' horizon, the sun is rising to a bright future. Now I ask you this; why change horses in midstream when the one current one is working his heart out to get to those beloved shores?"

September 13 2016- With Paul Bokor and Vladimir Putin Shockingly Neck and Neck, Paul Bokor knows that while the Liberal Party would be defeated, and the Republicans not having that much a Chance, he knows that the Republicans would backdoor Paul into extinction, so Paul has to win at least 50% of the Electoral College, so topping "Don't Change Horses in Midstream" speech, he creates the "America 1st Again" Speech. In it, he says that, "America is the largest Country to every be named Freedom. Our Nation was built on the principle of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Although Vladimir Putin is right about America returning to #1, we are not their yet.

Vlad, you are a Great man, but by the End of 2025, I want a Man on Jupiter, Not Because It's Possible, but because It's impossible! I will work TO DEATH, just so that Sky-Clads like the Late Great Dr.Martin Luther King can be Free AT Last, Free AT Last.

Pershing is aghast and remarks, "I supported them in the Senate when no one else did!". Nevertheless she agrees when a projected 12 point bump is predicted. In San Diego, Ashley Pershing attends the opening of the first CALRAIL Station skyclad, and gives a speech about the benefits of CALRAIL. It effectively turns around Pershing's Election.

November 5th 2016- When over 320 Million People Wake up that Morning, it's the Greatest Day of all time. Election Day. Only Time Will Tell who wins. Ashley Pershing Snags New York and Parts of the Bible Belt, but goes to 3rd Place, Hillary embarrissingly only gains the California's, and the Southwest Area, then proceeds to outlash the Tera Patrick Campaign for being Dead Last. For Putin and Bokor, it's down to the remaining 40 or so States. Paul at first leads with Illinois, but Putn then leades with Alaska. After 54 States and 2 to go, Paul Bokor NEEDS to win BOTH Hawaii and Ohio. At first, Vladimir Putin looks like as if he would retain the Presidentail Election, but then, late returns show that Paul Bokor has won Ohio and Hawaii, giving him exactly 53% of the Votes. Paul Bokor and Oprah Winfrey had won the 2016 Presidential Election in the biggest Upset of All-Time, Paul In a Victory Speech Celebrated in his Home State in Hawaii at Aloha Stadium with "GOD BLESS YOU HAWAII AND OHIO!

Bokor could easily get governor of Hawaii, getting skyclad legislation passed out there, or a senator. It would be nice to see him and Patrick fight in Congress. Also on this day, speculation and voting in the house begins. The remaining Liberals are firmly behind Rodham as the Socialists are behind Putin. Most of the Republicans are behind Pershing, but there remains a sizeable group of moderate/liberal Republicans who could go either way.

1. The cancellation of a Third Four Year Plan. Now that the economy is recovered we no longer need such extreme measures. Create banking reforms and renovations so that another "Depression" can never happen again.

2. The Expansion of CALRAIL Across the nation, but with allowing for private mag rail lines to operate on the rails, along with the National CALRAIL system, fostering private industry of mag rails, and freight travel.

3. Reform the Criminal Justice Code to fit 21st century crimes, specifically aimed at fighting corporate corruption, the spread of organized crime, and reducing the rising tide of sexual assault crimes.

4. Corporate subsidies to boost economic growth, and provide for more and better jobs for Americans. However no Tax breaks, Forbes One Flat Tax policy will remain the norm.

5. NASA, will work in concert with the Pacific Alliance Space Directive to create more unmanned scientific platforms in Deep Space.

Foreign Policy

1. Maintain our responsibilities as one of the founding members of the Pacific Alliance.

2. No new States will be added, but instead, provided approval by a general vote of the Pacific Alliance members, be offered membership in the Pacific Alliance as their own sovereign nations.

3. Continue the policy of fostering international growth of American corporations while keeping jobs home for Americans.

August 15th 2019- During a Liberal Party Meeting, Bokor and Patrick famously face off against each other before a crowd in a New York City's Hotel's Convention Center. Patrick would start the fight by during a Debate on the 2016 Election by Calling Bokor a "Communistic Socialist who is a Mere TV Pervert who tries to Run for President by corrupting the Voting Booth" . Bokor did the usual defending speech that seals the deal... Until Patrick calls Bokor "A Filthmonger Skyclad Ba^&rd!". Bokor then famously said to Tera Patrick, "You Think I'm AN Idiot? You Think you can Waltz in here with that Perky Little Face and those Puffy Little Breasts of Yours and you get whatever you want? I'm going to teach you a lesson YOU'LL NEVER FORGET!". That alone silenced all of Paul's Critics. Paul would later say "Next Year, I shall revive the Liberal Party, to what it once was, as it shall.

Her response gains her several positive points in the area of foreign policies

August 21st 2019- "Forget It" says Hilary Rodham as she Declines a possible 2020 Presidential Election Bid.

And so in Kansas City, Kansas, Paul Bokor announces that his new running mate shall be.... Bruce Willis of California. Almost immediatley, shocks were sent up the spineways of the Republicans, Socialists, Liberals, Independants, and any other type of Political Party. While Bruce Willis agreed to switch sides, this angered 2 People especially:

1. Ashley Pershing: This was suppose to be the Vice Presidentail Candidate on HER SIDE, not some Liberal Side. Pershing tries to find a way to attack Bruce Willis, possibly trading in Votes in order to tarnish the Reputation of Willis and Bokor.

2: Oprah Winfrey: Although she knew about this a Week Beforehand, she didn't believe that Paul would get Bruce Willis in Charge. It was bad enough that she would have to give up all Tesla and Chicago Stock just to be VP, but now, Tesla's fighting back. If the Race ends up as a tie, Tesla gets more influence. Campaign Corruption will enter an All Time High thanks to Tesla's Opposition to the new Bokor-Willis Ticket

If elected, no Country will be annexed, no Country that has a Soverignty shall be rotted away by a Foreign Power. And to all of those in the Cascadia and Canadian sectors, I offer you my sincerest of apologies."

September 1st 2019- The Controversal but Very Well Received Film "Independant Collusion" is Released at the DC Movie Fastival (OTL's Caanes Festival). The Film, released by (Insert Successful and Highly Acclaimed Independant ATL Filmmaker) describes the Highly Controversal 2016 Election and how Paul Bokor lost the Election, and Possibly Pershing. Below is the Opening from Independant Collusion:
Was It All a Dream? God bless you, Hawaii and Ohio! Thank you! Did the last 12 Months not really happen? Look, there's Oprah Winfrey. She's often in my dreams. And the Plumber guy. He was there too. And big "Dr."Phil McGraw, he seemed so happy.... like a miracle had taken place. Was it a dream? We want Paul! Or was it real? It was election night 2016, and things seemed to be going as planned. In Tennessee, Paul Bokor is our projected winner. The Garden State is green for Bokor. We project Mr. Bokor the winner in Delaware. This state has voted with... Excuse me, one second. I'm sorry to interrupt. Mike, I wouldn't do this if it weren't big. Hawaii and Ohio goes for Paul Bokor. HBC announces that we call Hawaii and Ohio in the Paul Bokor column. Then something called the UBC Channel called the election... ... in favor of the other guy. UBC now projects Vladimir Putin the winner in Ohio and Hawaii... ...and thus it appears the winner of the Presidency of the United States once again. All of a sudden, the other networks said: "Hey, if UBC said it, it must be true." All of us at the networks made a mistake... ...and projected Hawaii and Ohio in the Paul Bokor column. It was our mistake. What most people don't know is that the man in charge... ... of the decision desk at UBC that night.... the man who called it for Putin... was none other than Putin's best Friend Dimitri Mendelev. How does someone like Putin get away with something like this? You know something? We are gonna win Ohio and Hawaii. Mark my words. You can write it down. Second, make sure your campaign chairman... .. is also the vote-count woman and that her state hires a company... to knock voters off the rolls who aren't likely to vote for you. you can usually tell them by the color of their skin, or if they have any clothes on. Then make sure your side fights like it's life or death. This talk about legitimacy is overblown. President Putin! President Putin! And hope the other side sits by. And even if numerous independent investigations... .. prove that Bokor or Pershing got the most votes... if there was a statewide recount, Bokor won the election. ... it won't matter, as long as all your friends... .. on the Supreme Court vote the right way. While I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. What we need now is acceptance. We have a new president-elect. It turns out none of this was a dream. It's what really happened. On the day the joint session of both the House of Representatives... ... and the Senate was to certify the election results... ... Vladimir Putin, in his role as president... ... presided over the event that would officially anoint... ... Vladimir Putin still as the president. If any congressman wanted to raise an objection, the rules insisted... ... that he or she had to have the signed support of just one senator. Mr. President, ...I must object because of the overwhelming evidence... of misconduct, deliberate fraud and an attempt to suppress voter... The chair must remind members that under Section 18 of Title 3... ...United States Code, no debate is allowed in the joint session. Thank you, Mr. President. To answer your question... ...the objection is in writing, signed by a number of members... ...of the House of Representatives, but not by a member of the Senate. Mr. President, it is in writing and signed by several House colleagues... ...on behalf, and myself, of the 27,000 voters of Aloha County... ...in which 26,000 of them are Hawaiians......that was disenfranchised in this last election. Is the objection signed by a member of the Senate? Not signed by a member of the Senate. The Senate is missing. It is in writing and signed by myself... ...on behalf of many of the diverse constituents... ...especially those in the 9th Congressional District... ...and all American voters who recognize that the Supreme Court... ...not the people of the United States, decided this election. Is the objection signed by a senator? Unfortunately, Mr. President, it is not signed by one single senator. I have no authority over the United States Senate... ...and no senator has signed. Mr. President, it is in writing and signed by myself and several... ...of my constituents from Ohio and Hawaii. A senator is needed, but missing. Is the objection in writing... ...and signed by a member of the House and a senator? The objection is in writing, and I don't care... ...that it is not signed by a member of the Senate. The chair will advise that the rules do care... ...and the signature of a senator... Not a single senator came to the aid of the SkyClads and Hawaiins in Congress. One after another, they were told to sit down and shut up. It's a sad day in America, Mr. President, when we can't find... ...a senator to sign the objections... - The gentleman will suspend... - Liberal, Republican or Socialist senators won't sign. - I object. - The gentleman will suspend.

I dream of one day being able to campaign across the country in much the same way that Dewey, and my Great Grandfather campaigned, and with CALRAIL expanding east of the Rockies, we not only revitalize America's crumbling rail industry but make America more efficient, and able to travel across the country quickly without waiting in line at security"

"In the 1990s I supported the Skyclad movement, my colleagues in Congress refused to acknowledge their freedom to live their lives how they wished. I believe that the freedoms that skyclads seek should be allowed to all Americans, but that it is for local governments to decide. What San Diego Residents find acceptable, might not be acceptable to Westboro Kansas and vice. I believe that skycladism is not a federal issue but one to be decided on the state level." Pershing takes a more moderate position on skyclads, but does not alienate skyclads entirely, leaving it in the hands of the states and local governments.

Carrel points out that it distracts politicians but Colbert points out that politicians in such a situation would be less prone to doing unpopular legislation, to which Carrel counterpoints "Sometimes politicians have to make tough choices for the long term, that would be politically unpopular. A 24/7/365 election cycle would not have given us Dewey's Civil Rights, or Cronkite's legislation that assured true secularist government, but a nation where JPK would still be a viable candidate."

December 19th, 2019: Video footage by activist Marcus Stephen of the labor camps maintained by the British and Japanese on Nauru are broadcast across the DATANET, sparking international outrage by the Coalition of Nations.

A Pacific Alliance Military Base was placed next door, to protect one of the most economically important sites on Earth. Also on this day, It's a bright new day for Tara Patrick, her years of calling conspiracy proved right. America will now be biting at the teeth for the CMA's destruction fearing an Argentine backed insurrection is imminent in Texas and other CMA popular areas, and giving her a blank check and an instant kill mud slinging attack. Patrick's approval ratings shoot up to 56% according to InsideDC.com Poll tracking of all politicians.

December 31, 2019: The Promised Day arrives. To show the everyone that the world's first superpower is still alive and kicking, Argentina attacks Central America. Three Argentine nukes wipe Mexico City off the map, taking out the governmental, economical, and industrial capital of Mexico in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, Argentina quickly invades El Salvador, Honduras, Guatamala, and the socialist states of South America. From there, the Argentina forces begin an all out invasion of Mexico and manage to drive deep into Mexican territory. Argentine emplants within the Mexican army effective halt any resistance. All of this takes place within a mere handful of hours.

Unaligned Central America is effective caught on the toliet with its pants down.

In the United States, President Putin sends an e-mail to Bokor that says "So, what were you saying about my defense plans?" The POTUS promptly mobilizes American forces to the Mexican border and triples the planned number of reinforments to the Outer American States. The Canal Zone and Nicaragua get an extra 55,000 planned, but Putin wonders if the reinforcements can arrive in time should Argentina decide to attack PA zones. Also on this day, following Awakening Day, Tara Patrick dumps her list of thirty congressmen, and begins focusing on Argentinan infiltrators in America. In her journal she would write "Argentina... Who would have thought. All this time I was focusing on the CMA, I should have been focusing on them. Heck using that as a lever to sling mud I can get most of the Lower US (OTL: Sonora, Baja, Nicaragua) into my pocket. See you at the convention Bokor you are going to need it."


And thus, the 2010s ends with a bang.

Prometheus 2300- Definitely make sure to post the map of 2020 in the "Timelines & Scenarios" section. It looks like the ATL is going to make it to 2035 after all...

[Prometheus_2300]

Will do, although working on the map a thought struck me. If the Pacific Alliance declares war on Argentina AND Russia follows by declaring war on the Pacific Alliance. We will have a huge war on our hands

Conflict Zone

Occupied Central America
Pacific Alliance Central America
Occupied EUARS (and the last communist regime falls.)
Argentine Army on Brazil's borders.
The Space Elevator (There are both a fair amount of EDC and Pacific Alliance troops there)
Narusegawa Security Concern (wedged between Russia and the Pacific Alliance)

Ocean conflict zones

Northwest Pacific
Arctic Ocean
Sea of Japan
South Atlantic
East Pacific

September 20, 2025: Former Republican President Robert F. Kennedy dies at the age of 99. His state funeral is attended by over 2 million Americans, including former President Gates, who had worked on Kennedy's National Security Council, and President Putin. His legacy, though greatly improved, is still a subject of heated debate amongst historians and the general public. Generally, Kennedy is rated much higher than most of his successors, excepting Vladimir Putin.

[Prometheus_2300]

First a minor clarification: to keep an EMP field going for three months you need a large continuous power source on the ground to sustain the effect. Given the smallest shielded nuclear reactor in this world is about the size of a big rig, it can't fit in the case to sustain the effect, nor can any battery that powerful or long lasting. Not even Energizer

Second there are no five star generals, No World War II and no official American involvement in the Holy War, means that a five star rank was most likely never created, and if it was made why was it created?

Third I am not sure but I don't think Governors can move the armed forces a lick. Governors aren't in the military chain of command which ends at Putin through the Joint Chiefs. In effect Bokor has declared himself commander of an army group (which is illegal), and reequistioned unique supplies to defend ONLY his state (bordering on being considered secession), instead of the nation as a whole. Putin, the entire armed forces, and every state BUT Hawaii will be furious at Bokor specifically, especially since the Argentine Army is no where near Hawaii, but in Central America, and south America, surrounding the American state of Nicaragua, and Pacific Alliance members. The obvious targets, where Argentina has better position and numbers.

Fourth, Russia could just stab Argentina in the back and do nothing, its not an either or situation for them, and be neutral.

These are the consquences as I see them of Bokor's HDP. It protects Hawaii sure, but for every action there are consequences, and that will make some big negative ones for both Bokor and Winfrey nationally. If you want to change them you can just edit your post. Hawaii may not die but Nicaragua which could have really used those cannons will be suffering casualties by the boatload. Bokor may not die, but he may be sitting in a jail cell in November instead of running for president.

Now to unrelated PODs

January 3, 2020: Argentine Blockade of the Panama Canal begins. Nearly 200,000 Argentine soldiers now occupy the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (that narrow part of Mexico). Another 200,000 sit in Honduras, and another 300,000 sit in the former EUARS, dangeroously close to the US State of Guantanamo/Canal Zone.

January 3. 2020: The Japanese Pacific Fleet goes on high alert. The US submarine fleet is placed at DEFCON 1.

January 5, 2020: Senator Ashley Pershing after talking with the EDC leadership, is there as a joint declaration is read by Pershing as a representative of the United States, and the EDC Chairman, Milla Jovovich. "We condemn the actions of the Argentinan Empire, and we support the Pacific Alliance's actions against them. Should the conflict expand beyond the Western Hemisphere, we will support the Pacific Alliance". The EDC armed forces are put on high alert. The speech is seen as a clear warning to Russia, that should you attack, you will be facing a war on all fronts.

[Ze Kaiser]

Actually, the Governor of Arkansas in OTL was able to deploy the National Guard to stop the Little Rock Nine. Sure, Eisenhower threw a fit, but the fact remains he was able to do that for something so minor, so Bokor might get a minor bit of leeway.

[Prometheus_2300]

But that was the National guard not the Army, Navy and Air Force.

Ze Kaiser, what's happening during the rest of the war. It's now going to be a full scaled war, now that Pershing got the EDC to support the Pacific Alliance.

I was going to send Pershing to get ally with the Caliphate as well against Russia, if Putin wants to try and make a coalition against Argentina and Russia

Good Point...

Just, Tesla and Oprah supply Nicaragua with Weapons, Frank Thomas is a 4 Star General, Bokor has a State National Guard, Argentina Nukes Mexico City, Russia thinks about Invading a Country by the end of the month, Hawaii, San Francisco, Alaska, Japan, and Canada. Bokor does not mess with the Army, but instead the Hawaii Commander Bob Saget does. No EMP suitcases, just EMP Nukes which EMP a Normal Radius. This Negates any bad, Prevents Bokor from learning the meaning of "Dropping The Soap", and gives him more Value.

[Ze Kaiser]

Weird, I thought it was a subpart of the U.S. Army branch of the overall American Military Forces.

Anway...

January 1, 2020: Putin orders all American submarines on high alert.

January 2, 2020: Nicaragua gets its much need reinforcements and begins defense building. General José Daniel Ortega Saavedra, leader of the armed forces of the Outer American States, begins preparing for the worst.

January 4, 2020: President Putin orders the Secret Service to provide protection for all members of Congress and their families. This decision comes after an increasing number of threats against prominent members such as Ashley Pershing, Tim Russert, Steve Cornell, and Tara Patrick. He hands them a blank check to do the job.

Also, parts of the British Third Army arrives in Nicaragua at around 5:00 A.M. Austraillian reinforcements arrive by noon.

January 5, 2020: President Putin asks Ashley Pershing to do all she can to help check the possible enterance of Russia, citing "the world would burn if the Motherland get involved."

In Costa Rica, having willingly given up its armed forces long before it joined the Pacific Alliance, President Diego Rivera Odio allows PA troops to move through his country to both protect it and reinforce the American State of Guantanamo/Canal Zone.

January 6, 2020: Argentine troops begin getting dangerously close to the Mexican-American border. The remains of the Mexican government and army begin sending desperate pleas for help to the Pacific Alliance.

Also, Argentina begins boasting its troop numbers in occupied Central America. The CIA reports anywhere from a 50,000 to 160,000 addition troops per country.

December 31, 2029: Former President Vladimir Putin publishes his autobiography From Russia With Love. The book would go on to be an international bestseller with almost 4,500,000 copies in print across the Pacific Alliance by 2036.

We need to establish the leaders of each nation. All I recall is the Russian PM Shkrebneva, General Castro, and President Putin.

Also, what we have is a stalemate.

Castro doesn't want to immediately pick a fight with the PA unless he knows Russia will come to his aid. Once the other parts of Central America are firmly secured however... The Pacific Alliance also could use the time to boister its armies.

I thought you retconned that stuff. You kinda deleted the post with the PODs, so I'm a bit confused on what's going on. However, I just realized that if Putin would protect little Puerto Rico...

January 2, 2020: On recommendations from General Frank Thomas, President Putin orders 75,000 reinforcements to Hawaii, citing it's strategic importance as a "key base of operations" and the likelyhood that "Argentina will try to seize something faraway from the American Motherland to attack our coasts."

January 3, 2020: An additional 30,000 Pacific Alliance troops arrive in Hawaii along with Putin's promised reinforements. Seraphim 8.5 is positioned to hold any nukes back while anti-nuclear preparations start getting made.

Where does Bokor get his protection? Death Threats nearly Nuke him to Pieces and no one Helps him? By the end of the war, Bob Sagat gets 5 Stars Posthumously, and Bokor is a Hero. What we need in this war is the Following.

-Russia JoinsArgentina, Conquors Half of Japan

-Russia invades Hawaii, Sagat is a Genius and keeps Hawaii

-The Full House Regiment pushs Russia back to Russia

-Tesla saves Central A,erica

-Russia Surrenders,Argentina does.

-Russia Splits in 5

National Guard most likely. Since he has been campaigning for president for nearly 2 years now, he probably has candidate detail Secret Service protection. Bokor is a governor, not a Congressman. The threats were specifically leveled at Congress.

Right now I am not seeing a reason Russia would help Argentina. Pershing's compromise backed them into a corner. If they help Argentina, then the EDC and the Pacific Alliance will be on their doorsteps. Russia would rather invade Alaska, its more developed, and is close. Russia attacking Hawaii, means long supply lines, which can easily be taken out.

As impressive as one regiment can be wars come down to supply lines and logistics. Japan's navy can strand Russia in Hawaii and stymy the Russian Pacific Fleet, in Oshtosh and the Sea of Japan, with the American Navy in the Aleutians and Bering Sea. Even if Russia lands it would be a one-way trip. Hawaii is overall fairly safe so far. Too far away to bother, especially if Argentina has Airfields in Occupied Mexico.

How is Tesla going to save Central America? All I see is the Fixed Tesla cannons and EMP Bombs. The bombs, Argentina already has, and Tesla Cannons, well they make good defenses, not so much offense.

As for Russia, let's get the war done with before we decide if Russia is defeated and then divided.

[Prometheus_2300]

We need to establish the leaders of each nation. All I recall is the Russian PM Shkrebneva, General Castro, and President Putin.

Also, what we have is a stalemate.

Castro doesn't want to immediately pick a fight with the PA unless he knows Russia will come to his aid. Once the other parts of Central America are firmly secured however... The Pacific Alliance also could use the time to boister its armies.

You are right. The best situation Castro can hope for was that the Pacific Alliance would not want to tick off a united Russian Argentinan force. unfortunately for him Pershing with Putin's blessing got to Brussels and got the EDC on the Pacific Alliance's side. Russia not wanting to be on a two front war will backpedal, and stop returning Castro's calls, and trying to get as much Russian equipment as possible out of Argentina's hands.

If Castro does something stupid, its game over for Argentina. If he doesn't he could conceivably hold onto the EUARS. Since he is marching around though, War is more likely. Nukes will fly! Castro loses.

The only chance Castro has is somehow getting the EDC or the Caliphate to support the Russo-Argentine Alliance. Dead lock Castro win. This is why Pershing was deployed immediately to the EDC. In effect she ended chances for Argentina's victory, AND succeeded in keeping Russia out.

I don't see either option as likely. The EDC is wary of Russia growing more powerful, and the Caliphate has continually been plagued with problems caused by Russia, so no help there

January 4, 2020: South African PM Horatio Mandela orders the South African fleet to the South Atlantic, and blockade Argentina's east Coast

[Ze Kaiser]

January 9, 2020: General Madero Alejandro Castro orders all troops to stop advancing and start digging in after the Agrentine army successfully crushes the main Mexican Army at the ruins of Mexico City.

(Argentina has stopped at the lowest red line. He wanted to march to the dark red, but with American forces dangerously waiting at the border for the slightest reason to shoot...)

[Prometheus_2300]

Darn beat me to the punch for a map! This was originally going to be an electoral map for 2020 but this works here to

[Prometheus_2300]

So right now whhat is Castro going to do. It's a stalemate, since Russia isn't going to intervene to aid Argentina. Castro is going to have to pursue for peace or do something really stupid. Naval options are limited since the Pacific Alliance has turned the Pacific and South Atlantic, into Lakes of the Pacific Alliance, and it seems that Argentina is mostly army strength. Depending on how many troops are in central america, they may be stuck, and those are where stupid mistakes can be made.

[Ze Kaiser]

January 11, 2020: Argentina declares "Major combat operations in Argentina Nueva are over... temporarily." This statement comes following a brutual final battle with the remains of the Mexican army.

Despite major blockade efforts by the Pacific Alliance, Argentina is able to reinforce its "Argentina Nueva" with small detachments of troops. Once news of this breaks out, the Pacific Alliance begins investigating Argentina's naval might.

January 12, 2020: General Castro reportedly boasts that Agrentina has enough naval might to blow the PA out of the water if the need arises. He also points out that he has not technically wage war with the PA, but rather small countries that the PA all but forsaked. Thus, he does not have to negotiate with anyone other than who Argentina has crushed.

(So Castro is basically saying that if the PA wants a war, it's going to be its own hands, thus throwing it into the role of the aggressor.)

CIA reports confirm that Argentina does have good naval capabilites. Mentions of the Argentine weapon "Ghost" appears in the reports, but it overall remains an engima.

January 14, 2020: Despite the crack down on journalism in Argentina, word begins leaking out of occupied Mexico of "genocide." Honduras, Guatamala, and El Salvador are strangely quite, leading news outlets to believe that resistance is surprisingly little.

(Personally, I'm hoping for a comedy of errors like those that started WWI.)

[Prometheus_2300]

How bad of a comedy of errors

World War making errors or regional conflict level? or like Doctor Strangelove?

[Ze Kaiser]

Nothing like Dr. Strangelove. :eek: World War ones as there has yet to be a true world war. America has really yet to get its nose bloody. They once faced Mexican rebels, and then had a slapfight with Argentina. That's it.

But regional sounds more realistic here. Why would Europe want to give up its peace to stop a war the PA would more than likely win? Unless Russia is that much of a loyal friend and beast, Argentina isn't going to be able to face the world. Chop a limb off maybe, but not face it and win handily... OR that'd just be hilarious if that did happen.

[Prometheus_2300]

January 15, 2020: The Seraphim targeting software is upgraded, following Yoyodyne Systems finally getting the software out of Beta. The Seraphim network is now 33% more efficient, with SKYNET running the network, almost without human aid, thanks to nanite repair modules.

January 16, 2020: The Argentine Coast guard installs a new type of buoy to warn against dangerous waters. The buoys are wrongly analyzed by the CIA as mines.

January 18, 2020: the South African carrier Freedom pulls full reverse to avoid the "Argeentine minefields". The Argentine hunter submarine commanded by Pablo Verdez, crashes into the back of the carrier.

January 19, 2020: Elorgs hack General Castro's personal digital mail account. Inside his inbox is a very "revealing photo" of the General's wife. The photo makes the rounds on the internet. Also on this day, Tara Patrick announces that HICTA has discovered 22 Argentinan American businessmen threatening to overthrow the American economy.

January 20, 2020: An Argentine space platform is launncheed from Quito, but it is shot down by Seraphim. The space platform would have been a nuclear missile platform from which to rain orbital destruction on the Pacific Alliance.

January 21, 2020: A Okhrana secret agent, attempting to destroy Russian military eequipment is spotted by Argentine Secret Police. The Okhrana agent flees, but is believed by Argentina to be an American CIA operative.

February 3, 2020: Ashley Pershing, who had just gotten the EDC to support the PA, now travels to Baghdad to meet with Caliphate leaders, for possible cooperation between the Caliphate and the PAcific Alliance should war occur with Russia. To sweeten the deal a trade deal is made between the Caliphate and the Pacific Alliance, for Class 1 military hardware trades.

[Prometheus_2300]

Febuary 1st 2020-Sagat orders 500 Additional Defense Troops in each of the Major Hawaiian Islands. Also on this day, the Tesla Cannons are smuggled into South American Countries in order to provide Resistance.


Umm... This is soooooo gonna blow up in Bokor's face. But we need to get this war going and here it goes. Also a question, why would a defeated Argentina plan include a Russian invasion, since as far as I know the Russian Argentine Alliance is secret.

February 14, 2020: Argentinan troops find a Tesla Cannon prototype in the hands of EUARS rebels. After a long engagement, the Argentinans take the EUARS stronghold, capturing the weapon, upon discovering it was from American Tesla Dynamic, they broadcast this to the world.

President Putin breaks a window in the White House in anger, and calls Tesla Dynamic in Chicago, demanding an accounting of ALL produced Tesla Cannons. If he finds just one unaccounted for, he will nationalize Tesla Dynamic and take control of the Tesla Cannon division.

February 16, 2020: Tesla Dynamic fails to account for 24 Tesla Cannons, as a result the Tesla Cannon manufacturing plant in Springfield Illinois is nationalized under the Military Preparedness Act of 2017. Upon discovering the Bokor connection, President Putin angrily berates Governor Bokor via Videophone as he supplied weapons to a resistance that the CIA had not vetted, and giving them prototype military hardware, which is now in the hands of Argentina. ""

February 18, 2020: A Pacific Alliance Special Forces team is sent to either retrieve if possible, and destroy at all consequences the Tesla Cannon captured by Argentina. Similar missions are arranged for the other missing Tesla Cannons. An intense firefight breaks out at a Caracas Research facility where Argentine scientists were poring over the Tesla Cannon in an attempt to reverse engineer it.

[Prometheus_2300]

Russia doesn't have a President, it's been a parliamentary democracy for 70 years. the PM is Lyudmila Shkrebneva (IOTL: Putin's Wife)

Also the British PM is Diana Spencer

Also the EDC is supporting the PA as is the Caliphate, so Russia is now in a corner. Either they attack and get trounced, or make peace and try and forget they ever allied with Argentina.

Russia is trying to remove any proof that there was an alliance. To show how much the world is now allied against Argentina. Countries in blue are with the US should Russia attack any bloc or openly support Argentina. Russia would be commmitting suicide to declare support in this situation. Whereas in an Argentine vs PA war there is more chance for success not much. It's a stalemate, with Argentina losing in the end, considering the difficulty of occupying that much foreign territory with supply lines through unfriendly waters

[Ze Kaiser]

January 11, 2020: The CN offically condeems Argentina's butchering of Mexico. At the forum, President Putin says "I would like to remind the people of the world that this cannot be excused. Even if Argentina were to back out of Central America and say 'We're sorry,' there would still remains a scorched hole in the ground once known as Mexico City that is now a mass grave site of roughly 25 million innocent people."

January 15, 2020: CIA operatives send more word about "Ghost." According to the document, "Whatever the hell this thing is, Ghost is letting the Argentine forces slip like greased ball of lard through our blockade efforts."

The reports are a bit exaggerated as the blockade has been noted to be make progress.

January 31, 2020: America Today writes an article discussing the massive build up of firepower during month of January 2020. Despite tight blockades, Argentina has managed to keep its supply lines flowing, but the Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area has been turned into a virtual fortress."

Februray 1, 2020: The remains of the Mexican Navy are allowed safe passage in San Fransico.

Feburary 19, 2020: Argentina's blockade of the Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area is increased. General Castro mentions to his aides that "We'll simply starve them. With Ghost in our hands, Argentina Nueva will remain hours."

February 25, 2020: UK Prime Minister Spencer and U.S. President Putin order the Outer PA Airlift to help the starving Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area.

In perhaps the most infamous move of his Presidency, POTUS Putin sits down on national television and begins reading a long list of Argentine cities. After about five minutes or so, he simply begins to discuss the current state of affairs and assures the American people that America will wither the worst of any war just as it always has.

(In case your wondering, Putin's List was a nice list of targets the PA would drop its nukes on if Argentina stepped out of line. Out of line as in, you know, nuking major cities across the PA.)

[Prometheus_2300]

(In case your wonder, Putin's List was a nice list of targets the PA would drop its nukes on if Argentina stepped out of line. Out of line as in, you know, nuking major cities across the PA.)

What about attempted nukings since Seraphim is in the sky

[Ze Kaiser]

What about attempted nukings since Seraphim is in the sky

That'd be a bit harder to justify, but attempted bombing retaliation would probably just be on a lower scale than retaliation for something physical. You know, since major cities aren't missing. Yeah, blowing Castro off the map could be justified, but blowing up every major city in Argentia with a population of over 10,000 for a few of attempted bombings... Yeah. It's just easier to justify total destruction if the other side has physically done something.

Still, the message was rather clear. Also, the PA has yet to pull the "For Mexico City" card. I mean, really, 25-30 million people. That's like a third of WWII in the blink of an eye.

...Geez, there's it's weird having only a handful of people working on this.

[Prometheus_2300]

February 26, 2020: PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva of Russia, calls Castro via Videophone, at the same time as Shkrebneva's Foreign Secretary Leonid Kravchuk, reads a statement to the press.

Kravchuk: Prime Minister Shkrebneva and the Russian Empire condemn the actions of the Argentinan Empire. It's invasion of Central America is in violation with the wishes of those peoples. The Argentinans goal of bring order to the lawless EUARS was noble, but when it threatened the Pacific Alliance, and took over neutral countries, it went from peacekeeper to tyrant. We of the Russian Empire will not associate with warmongering imperialists, and hearby cancel diplomatic relations with the Argentinan Empire

During the videophone conference, Castro screams at Shkrebneva, until the Russian prime minister pounds on her desk "Listen you fat little oaf of a man! You went too far. I told you to only take the EUARS, and now you have caused a grand coalition to be aligned not against you but against me! You are lucky I am not sending warwalkers to destroy you right now! OUR ALLIANCE IS OVER!"

February 27, 2010: Infurated at Russia's reefusal to help, General Castro does something very rash. He appears inebriated in the Tierra del Fuego military center, and sits at the nuclear launch console and begins inserting 27 targets. He is shot in the head by his own subordinate officer, however 22 nukes were authorized to fire, and 6 were disarmed manually by brave technicians giving their lives to save 6 cities. However 16 nukes are launched.

Targets: Washington DC, Panama City, Dallas, Anchorage, San Francisco, Tokyo, New York City, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, New Mecca, Medina, and Baghdad.

Just after launch was unsuccessful, Now General Lorenzetti of the Argentine armed forces calls the leaders of all 4 other blocs and warn them that in his final moment Castro launched 16 missiles against all their blocs. Lorenzetti has the hope of preventing Argentina's destruction and to fight another day following this warning and show that Castro was now dead. The world leaders are aghast, and instantly leave to handle defenses, except PM Shkrebneva who says to the the new leader of Argentina, "If you live that long" and attends to her own defense.

The Seraphim system is pushed to its very limit. The two satellites are able to take down 11 missiles. Russian Missile Defense takes down the three targeted at its nation. Despite a valiant attempt by Seraphim to take down the Medina nuke makes it through and hits. Russian PM Shkrebneva in a moment of quick thinking orders the Western Russia Missile Shield to take down the missile bound for Berlin, using the opportunity to garner some goodwill in the EDC.

June 20, 2020: Senator Ashley Pershing is awarded this year's Coalition of Nations Peace Award, for her coalition building efforts during the Argentinan War, and effectively halting Russian aid on the side of Argentina. Russian Foreign Minister Kravchuk, is heard to have said, "We never would have supported Argentina". Russian PM Shkrebneva is in attendance, and throughout the ceremony she scrutinized Pershing. Later she wrote in her journal, "Pershing could walk into a room and get a room full of bickering European and Caliphate idiots to agree, and have them put aside a century of bad blood between them for the Pacific Alliance's good and the perceived benefit of the others. If she was Russian I would have made her my foreign minister on the spot, given her the order of merit, and let her write her own paycheck to have her work that magic at the CN."

>>>>>

War is reset, Argentina still occupies Central America, is now alone against the PA. Russia is staying out thanks to Pershing, which means that its just the PA versus Argentina. EDC and Caliphate were means to keep Russia from joining

december 2019. by order of king väinö II of finland a small organisation by the name of susi kaarti (wolf guard in english) or more commonly known as the wolfpack is formed with the task to secure finnish security and keep track of okhrana agents in the country. the organisation consists of some 150 agents.



may 3rd 2020 väinö II abdicates after his condition becomes critical. reasons include that he had heart cancer for half a decade making him now so weak he couldnt runt he country.

his son björn takes his place and he is given the royal name of väinö III of finland. after the crowning ceremony in the fortress of suomenlinna he gives a short speech in wich he says



"many times i disagree with my fathers opinions . such as finland should be built to be a countrywide fortress. i think...finland needs and strong army but maby we should instead of pursuing the impossible goal of having the worlds largest army we should focuse on the skill of the army and the weaponry they use"


"i also have to disagree with my fathers opinion in the matter that finland should be isolated and produce evrything it needs itself. that might have been possible in the 90's but not in todays world."

"but for those who think that i don't think my father did anything good. they are WRONG. he did a terific job with building up the infrastructure of this country. railroads. maglev trains. roads. airports. harbors. he created it now we will have the task of using it and improve it. "

now some pods.



january 3rd 2021 virgo 1 was delayed becouse of technical problems and becouse it didnt have motors strong enough to power its flight to moon. finaly realising this the scientist created a more simply and cheaper model of the virgo 1 wich is able to do short spaceflights possibly as long as 5 hours .

2 finnish officers and a group of 5 scientists go on a test flight onboard it. they visit space for some 20 minutes after wich they return back to earth.

the officers respond that this opens many new doors in the way of warfare and deffence in the favour of finland. after wich the 1st air army orders 5 of these to be built.


the last one is to be derlivered in middle of 2024.



may 11th 2021 suomiyhtiöt changes it name to energia. (energy)
also its noted that energia controls 55% of finnish industry.
at the same day energia is divided into 3 main branches energia teollisuus (energia industry) focusing in heavy industry energia varuste (energia armament) wich makes guns and other military equpiment and finaly energia sähkö (energia electricity) focusing on making electricity and manufacturing electric gadgets.

Bokor Breaks ties from Tesla Dynamic

Bokor goes on a Peace Tour and Personally talks to the Russian Leader

Bokor does SOMETHING that gives him credability

Tesla stays out of War

Bokor gives Hawaii a Rich Economy in the Fallout of a Disatorous Takei Gov.

Bokor joins Putin for some other type of Role like Pershing gets.

The problem is mostly one of political landscape for Bokor, he came out of nowhere in 2016, and had a strong independent support base, he got some good percentages but against a successful Putin Presidency he was doomed. Only because of hackers did Bokor have a moment of winning, and that was over turned. Ever since then Bokor hhas been campaigning non-stop. Candidates just don't campaign for 4 years. His platform is better but its not one that resonates with a majority of Americans.

Also Bokor isn't in DC, he's governor. Unlike Pershing and Putin, he is more likely to be found in Honolulu then DC.

Ideas for Bokor to seem more credible (actually being credible is harder and not as important to politics):

* Reduce Corruption following Takei's tenure as governor. You have never elaborated on how corrupt it was or how Bokor fixed it so fast. I would presume Takei was associated with the Yakuza, so how did Bokor fight their influence or what?

* Show Bokor's legislation is a success. The Skyclad bill reduced tourism, how is he going to increase tourism. You got tough on crime, how is that making things better.

* Tesla has now shot itself in the foot too many times now. Winfrey still gave the cannons, although Bokor can distance himself from that, Winfrey is going down.

* The problem is that Putin doesn't like Bokor, it started as a grudge following 2016 election debacle, to Bokor constantly trying to undermine his authority as President. Also you are forgetting the compromise of 2016, where Putin agreed to step aside and let Pershing win with the support of the Socialists and Republicans. Bokor faces the double whammy of Putin, disliking him and the triumvirate of Pershing, Putin, Willis of on the agreement of Pershing being President in 2020.

Nationally here is Bokor's Pluses and minuses

+ Independent candidate in 2016
+ Star of Hit TV Show
+ Tough on Crime
~ Governor of Hawaii
~ Tesla Connection
- Bokor's 20
- Cascadia
- Extreme view on Skyclads
- Anti-war (following a big war, not good position to have regardless of what he says after the wars)
- Inexperienced (During a party meeting he descended to Patrick's level. It still happened despite apologies)

Whereas Pershing's pluses

+ Bipartisan (Worked with Putin and republicans to get out of Depression)
+ Female (If elected first female president)
+ Willis' Protege, Former VP under Mays, and nearly successful got the Presidency in 2016
+ Good working relationship with Putin, Willis, Congress Socialists and Republicans
+ 10 good points for America, along with the plus of supporting the PA before the war, not just when it was politically convenient
+ Won the CN Peace Prize for the Argentinan War
~ Does not take losing well
~ DC Insider (She's been a professional politician for 20 years)
~ Infrastructure debacle (She countered with supporting CALRAIL, but it hasn't turned into a plus for her yet)
- Paragon of Republicans
- Pro-Business
- She carries the air of a politician (In short she expects to win)

Ideas for Bokor to have a better chance at getting the liberal nom

* Make a deal with the Devil (Tara Patrick as VP)
* Find a chink in Pershing or Putin's armor and hit it repeatedly (Difficult since Pershing doesn't have any election blowing ones like EMK did with Chippaquidik, just the standard fair of minor scandals. If you go to the scandal war Pershing will just fire back with what she can find. Remember she has had 3 years to baten down the hatches)
* Get the only still living former Liberal President Letterman to endorse you. Which means adopting a secularist platform.
* National town hall meetings across the country.
* DON'T ATTACK PUTIN. Seriously the guy's approval rating is at about 75%. It would be political suicide
* Seem more accessible to the electorate, so start races or throw out first pitches or something . Be a man of the people (Pershing carries that air of being from a political family.)
* Campaign the Bible Belt (Pershing isn't going for their votes, you could easily get them, if you support their issues)
* Pro-Environment. Pershing isn't Bokor should.

Potential disasters on the horizon

* Putin. Politically Bokor's greatest enemy, after three years I doubt there is much to be done to bury the hatchet. If he outright endorses Pershing for President, its game over for Bokor. Don't attack him to set that off

* California. Pershing still considers her homestate a dead lock with its 55 EVs. They have a Socialist governor, so Putin will get him on the side of the compromise if he wants to have a career beyond governor. Pershing was also popular in her home state. Make her think she can lose California and well... you got a chance, since it will distract her from the national race. California is still going to Pershing, but you can make her sweat and lose other states while she maintains CA.

* Being denied Entrance to the debate. Yes it will cause problems but Putin and Pershing are both popular enough to keep you OUT of debates should they want to..

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Well, St. Petersburg isn't in ashes per se, but it was the target of a nuclear attack:

February 27, 2010: Infurated at Russia's reefusal to help, General Castro does something very rash. He appears inebriated in the Tierra del Fuego military center, and sits at the nuclear launch console and begins inserting 27 targets. He is shot in the head by his own subordinate officer, however 22 nukes were authorized to fire, and 6 were disarmed manually by brave technicians giving their lives to save 6 cities. However 16 nukes are launched.

Targets: Washington DC, Panama City, Dallas, Anchorage, San Francisco, Tokyo, New York City, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, New Mecca, Medina, and Baghdad.

As such, this was seen as a "sign of weakness" by the nations of the Caliphate.

[Mr_ Bondoc]

January 1st 2020- Paul Bokor decides to give a Quick Speech this day, saying that, "Argentina has thratened our Friendly Neighbors in Central America. Mark my Words Castro, if i'm elected and your not in Prison or in a Grave, then that's where your going. This is an attack against us, so America, Shoulder on and Go with me to Argentina, where Los Persidento will be Muerte'". Also on this day, as Head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Ashley Pershing is deployed to Brussels by President Putin to talk to the EDC. Whereas Secretary Willis stays in Washington to advise Putin. Putin orders all American submarines on high alert.


January 2nd, 2020- On recommendations from General Frank Thomas, President Putin orders 75,000 reinforcements to Hawaii, citing it's strategic importance as a "key base of operations" and the likelyhood that "Argentina will try to seize something faraway from the American Motherland to attack our coasts."

January 3, 2020: Argentine Blockade of the Panama Canal begins. Nearly 200,000 Argentine soldiers now occupy the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (that narrow part of Mexico). Another 200,000 sit in Honduras, and another 300,000 sit in the former EUARS, dangeroously close to the US State of Guantanamo/Canal Zone. Also on this day, Nicaragua gets its much need reinforcements and begins defense building. General José Daniel Ortega Saavedra, leader of the armed forces of the Outer American States, begins preparing for the worst. Also on this day, the Japanese Pacific Fleet goes on high alert. The US submarine fleet is placed at DEFCON 1. Also on this day, An additional 30,000 Pacific Alliance troops arrive in Hawaii along with Putin's promised reinforements. Seraphim 8.5 is positioned to hold any nukes back while anti-nuclear preparations start getting made.

January 4, 2020: President Putin orders the Secret Service to provide protection for all members of Congress and their families. This decision comes after an increasing number of threats against prominent members such as Ashley Pershing, Tim Russert, Steve Cornell, and Tara Patrick. He hands them a blank check to do the job. Also, parts of the British Third Army arrives in Nicaragua at around 5:00 A.M. Austraillian reinforcements arrive by noon. Also on this day, South African PM Horatio Mandela orders the South African fleet to the South Atlantic, and blockade Argentina's east Coast

January 5, 2020: Senator Ashley Pershing after talking with the EDC leadership, is there as a joint declaration is read by Pershing as a representative of the United States, and the EDC Chairman, Milla Jovovich. "We condemn the actions of the Argentinan Empire, and we support the Pacific Alliance's actions against them. Should the conflict expand beyond the Western Hemisphere, we will support the Pacific Alliance". The EDC armed forces are put on high alert. The speech is seen as a clear warning to Russia, that should you attack, you will be facing a war on all fronts. Also on this day, President Putin asks Ashley Pershing to do all she can to help check the possible enterance of Russia, citing "the world would burn if the Motherland get involved." In Costa Rica, having willingly given up its armed forces long before it joined the Pacific Alliance, President Diego Rivera Odio allows PA troops to move through his country to both protect it and reinforce the American State of Guantanamo/Canal Zone.

January 6, 2020: Argentine troops begin getting dangerously close to the Mexican-American border. The remains of the Mexican government and army begin sending desperate pleas for help to the Pacific Alliance. Also, Argentina begins boasting its troop numbers in occupied Central America. The CIA reports anywhere from a 50,000 to 160,000 addition troops per country.

Despite major blockade efforts by the Pacific Alliance, Argentina is able to reinforce its "Argentina Nueva" with small detachments of troops. Once news of this breaks out, the Pacific Alliance begins investigating Argentina's naval might. Also on this day, the CN offically condeems Argentina's butchering of Mexico. At the forum, President Putin says "I would like to remind the people of the world that this cannot be excused. Even if Argentina were to back out of Central America and say 'We're sorry,' there would still remains a scorched hole in the ground once known as Mexico City that is now a mass grave site of roughly 25 million innocent people."

January 12, 2020: General Castro reportedly boasts that Agrentina has enough naval might to blow the PA out of the water if the need arises. He also points out that he has not technically wage war with the PA, but rather small countries that the PA all but forsaked. Thus, he does not have to negotiate with anyone other than who Argentina has crushed. CIA reports confirm that Argentina does have good naval capabilites. Mentions of the Argentine weapon "Ghost" appears in the reports, but it overall remains an engima.

January 14, 2020: Despite the crack down on journalism in Argentina, word begins leaking out of occupied Mexico of "genocide." Honduras, Guatamala, and El Salvador are strangely quite, leading news outlets to believe that resistance is surprisingly little.

January 15, 2020: The Seraphim targeting software is upgraded, following Yoyodyne Systems finally getting the software out of Beta. The Seraphim network is now 33% more efficient, with SKYNET running the network, almost without human aid, thanks to nanite repair modules. Also on this day, CIA operatives send more word about "Ghost." According to the document, "Whatever the hell this thing is, Ghost is letting the Argentine forces slip like greased ball of lard through our blockade efforts." The reports are a bit exaggerated as the blockade has been noted to be make progress.

January 16, 2020: The Argentine Coast guard installs a new type of buoy to warn against dangerous waters. The buoys are wrongly analyzed by the CIA as mines.

January 18, 2020: the South African carrier Freedom pulls full reverse to avoid the "Argeentine minefields". The Argentine hunter submarine commanded by Pablo Verdez, crashes into the back of the carrier.

January 19, 2020: Elorgs hack General Castro's personal digital mail account. Inside his inbox is a very "revealing photo" of the General's wife. The photo makes the rounds on the internet. Also on this day, Tara Patrick announces that HICTA has discovered 22 Argentinan American businessmen threatening to overthrow the American economy.

January 20, 2020: An Argentine space platform is launncheed from Quito, but it is shot down by Seraphim. The space platform would have been a nuclear missile platform from which to rain orbital destruction on the Pacific Alliance. Also on this day, George Takei is sworn in as Governor of Hawaii. Almost immediatley, he is Positioned by the Hawaiian Shogan Yakuza as an easy friend of them, allowing easy access to travel to Hawaii.

January 21, 2020: A Okhrana secret agent, attempting to destroy Russian military eequipment is spotted by Argentine Secret Police. The Okhrana agent flees, but is believed by Argentina to be an American CIA operative.

January 29th 2010- Takei signs the "Free International Waters Act of 2010, which allows "Non Terrorist Groups to Travel freely for Trade, Toyrism, or Commerce." To the Public, it means expanding the Economy even further, to the Shogun, it means to freely roam Hawaii and set up Groups of intimidation.

January 31, 2020: America Today writes an article discussing the massive build up of firepower during month of January 2020. Despite tight blockades, Argentina has managed to keep its supply lines flowing, but the Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area has been turned into a virtual fortress." Also on this day, Hawaiian Airlines announces it has been Merged with Aloha and Honollu Airlines to form the "Pacific Airways", a Connection from Hawaii to Japan to the Philipines. One of their Perks is a Private Jet being sold for record low Prices with a VIP Membership. The Shogun personally thanks Takei by giving him a Golden Sword valued at over $1.2 Million.

Februray 1, 2020: The remains of the Mexican Navy are allowed safe passage in San Fransico.

February 3, 2020: Ashley Pershing, who had just gotten the EDC to support the PA, now travels to Baghdad to meet with Caliphate leaders, for possible cooperation between the Caliphate and the PAcific Alliance should war occur with Russia. To sweeten the deal a trade deal is made between the Caliphate and the Pacific Alliance, for Class 1 military hardware trades.

February 14, 2020: Argentinan troops find a Tesla Cannon prototype in the hands of EUARS rebels. After a long engagement, the Argentinans take the EUARS stronghold, capturing the weapon, upon discovering it was from American Tesla Dynamic, they broadcast this to the world.

President Putin breaks a window in the White House in anger, and calls Tesla Dynamic in Chicago, demanding an accounting of ALL produced Tesla Cannons. If he finds just one unaccounted for, he will nationalize Tesla Dynamic and take control of the Tesla Cannon division.

February 16, 2020: Tesla Dynamic fails to account for 24 Tesla Cannons, as a result the Tesla Cannon manufacturing plant in Springfield Illinois is nationalized under the Military Preparedness Act of 2017. Upon discovering the Bokor connection, President Putin angrily berates Governor Bokor via Videophone as he supplied weapons to a resistance that the CIA had not vetted, and giving them prototype military hardware, which is now in the hands of Argentina. ""

February 18, 2020: A Pacific Alliance Special Forces team is sent to either retrieve if possible, and destroy at all consequences the Tesla Cannon captured by Argentina. Similar missions are arranged for the other missing Tesla Cannons. An intense firefight breaks out at a Caracas Research facility where Argentine scientists were poring over the Tesla Cannon in an attempt to reverse engineer it.

Feburary 19, 2020: Argentina's blockade of the Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area is increased. General Castro mentions to his aides that "We'll simply starve them. With Ghost in our hands, Argentina Nueva will remain hours."

Febuary 20th 2010- Pacific Airways Merges with Hawaiian Cruise Line to become, "Pacific Airways and Cruise Line". Like with the Airways, Boats and Cruises are offered at Discount Prices". Pacific becones the Largest Traveling Agency in the World, owned by the Largest Yakuza Group in the World.

February 25, 2020: UK Prime Minister Spencer and U.S. President Putin order the Outer PA Airlift to help the starving Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area. In perhaps the most infamous move of his Presidency, POTUS Putin sits down on national television and begins reading a long list of Argentine cities. After about five minutes or so, he simply begins to discuss the current state of affairs and assures the American people that America will wither the worst of any war just as it always has.

February 26, 2020: PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva of Russia, calls Castro via Videophone, at the same time as Shkrebneva's Foreign Secretary Leonid Kravchuk, reads a statement to the press.

Kravchuk: Prime Minister Shkrebneva and the Russian Empire condemn the actions of the Argentinan Empire. It's invasion of Central America is in violation with the wishes of those peoples. The Argentinans goal of bring order to the lawless EUARS was noble, but when it threatened the Pacific Alliance, and took over neutral countries, it went from peacekeeper to tyrant. We of the Russian Empire will not associate with warmongering imperialists, and hearby cancel diplomatic relations with the Argentinan Empire. During the videophone conference, Castro screams at Shkrebneva, until the Russian prime minister pounds on her desk "Listen you fat little oaf of a man! You went too far. I told you to only take the EUARS, and now you have caused a grand coalition to be aligned not against you but against me! You are lucky I am not sending warwalkers to destroy you right now! OUR ALLIANCE IS OVER!"

February 27, 2010: Infurated at Russia's reefusal to help, General Castro does something very rash. He appears inebriated in the Tierra del Fuego military center, and sits at the nuclear launch console and begins inserting 27 targets. He is shot in the head by his own subordinate officer, however 22 nukes were authorized to fire, and 6 were disarmed manually by brave technicians giving their lives to save 6 cities. However 16 nukes are launched.

Targets: Washington DC, Panama City, Dallas, Anchorage, San Francisco, Tokyo, New York City, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, New Mecca, Medina, and Baghdad.

Just after launch was unsuccessful, Now General Lorenzetti of the Argentine armed forces calls the leaders of all 4 other blocs and warn them that in his final moment Castro launched 16 missiles against all their blocs. Lorenzetti has the hope of preventing Argentina's destruction and to fight another day following this warning and show that Castro was now dead. The world leaders are aghast, and instantly leave to handle defenses, except PM Shkrebneva who says to the the new leader of Argentina, "If you live that long" and attends to her own defense. The Seraphim system is pushed to its very limit. The two satellites are able to take down 11 missiles. Russian Missile Defense takes down the three targeted at its nation. Despite a valiant attempt by Seraphim to take down the Medina nuke makes it through and hits. Russian PM Shkrebneva in a moment of quick thinking orders the Western Russia Missile Shield to take down the missile bound for Berlin, using the opportunity to garner some goodwill in the EDC.

May 3rd 2020 väinö II abdicates after his condition becomes critical. reasons include that he had heart cancer for half a decade making him now so weak he couldnt runt he country.

His son Björn takes his place and he is given the royal name of väinö III of finland. after the crowning ceremony in the fortress of suomenlinna he gives a short speech in wich he says:

"Many times I disagree with my fathers opinions, such as Finland should be built to be a countrywide fortress. i think...finland needs and strong army but maby we should instead of pursuing the impossible goal of having the worlds largest army we should focuse on the skill of the army and the weaponry they use... I also have to disagree with my fathers opinion in the matter that finland should be isolated and produce evrything it needs itself. that might have been possible in the 90's but not in todays world... But for those who think that i don't think my father did anything good. they are WRONG. he did a terific job with building up the infrastructure of this country, railroads, maglev trains, roads, airports, and harbors. he created it now we will have the task of using it and improve it..."

June 17th 2010- The Yakuza offer Takei a Proposal. In exchange for "Donating" Parcels from the Niihau Islands, Takei would be given another gift to him very soon.

June 20, 2020: Senator Ashley Pershing is awarded this year's Coalition of Nations Peace Award, for her coalition building efforts during the Argentinan War, and effectively halting Russian aid on the side of Argentina. Russian Foreign Minister Kravchuk, is heard to have said, "We never would have supported Argentina". Russian PM Shkrebneva is in attendance, and throughout the ceremony she scrutinized Pershing. Later she wrote in her journal, "Pershing could walk into a room and get a room full of bickering European and Caliphate idiots to agree, and have them put aside a century of bad blood between them for the Pacific Alliance's good and the perceived benefit of the others. If she was Russian I would have made her my foreign minister on the spot, given her the order of merit, and let her write her own paycheck to have her work that magic at the CN."

July 18th 2010- "The Niihau Tourism Revitilization Project" is passed by Takei. The $2 Billion Private Industry Bill has the Niihau Islands reserved for Funds given to the Government for "Useful Funds". While there are a few that outspeak, they "Vanish" Permanenly.

[Ze Kaiser]

Time for this mini Cool War to turn Warm.

March 1, 2020: Due to a political coup, General Lorenzetti is forced to step down from his position of Supreme General of Agrentina. No word leaks out about who takes his place, but CIA reports indicate that the man seems to have been a cohort of the now dead General Madero Alejandro Castro.

March 2, 2020: Someone's gun accidently discharging spirals into American and PA forces clashing with Argentine troops along the Nicaraguan border. The situation quickly nose dives. Agrentina quickly blames the PA for starting the bloodshed and promises to aid its forces.

March 3, 2020: Costa Rica is invaded navally by Argentina through the thinnest area of ocean that Argentina holds despite PA blockade efforts.
An Argentine Army of over 500,000 storms the Canal Zone from the EUARS, while a sizable chuck of forces from occupied Central America storms in from the other side.

March 4, 2020: PA and Argentine naval froces begin to clash en mass. Argentina manages to holds its own and even break the South African blockade. President Putin orders the American army to secure Free Mexico. Sadly, PA reinforcements for the "Fortress Peninsula" are repulsed by Argentina's unexpected naval and aerial might.

March 5, 2020: Despite extremely heavy resistance, Argentine forces manage to secure the Canal Zone, Panama, and Costa Rica, albiet with heavy pockets of resistance in major cities. Nicaragua holds, but a month of starvation and blockade shows to be taking its toll. The Yucatan Peninsula and Belize are swiftly reinforced.

March 7, 2020: After much debate, General Frank Thomas orders American and PA troops to advance from free Mexico. The remains of the Mexican army are quick to join them.

March 8, 2020: The Great Battle of Middle Mexico breaks out. PA and Mexican forces clash all across middle Mexico with the latest technology devestating much of the area.

March 10, 2020: Argentina launches Operation Karma a.ka. the massive invasion of Brazil. Brazilian forces are caught of guard at the sheer size of the Agrentine forces. Tactical nuking is considered, but Argentina promises to hit Brazil with twice the firepower if atoms are split.

President Putin and PM Spencer debate whether to use nuclear retaliation with the ever looming threat of losing Brazil in a Holocaust of Nuclear Blaze.

March 11, 2020: South African reinforcements arrive in Brazil. They successfully help slow the tide of Argentine troops that have pushed deeply into Brazilian teritory.

March 12, 2020: Various other PA armies arrive to help Brazil. However, Argentine forces begin pushing American forces back to Free Mexico. Putin considers his options. Tactical nuking is always a strong option, but doing so on friendly and American soil could result is a massive backlash.

March 13, 2020: Even though Seraphim takes down 5 of the 6 EMPs launched, Argentina successfully denotates a powerful EMP over Texas. Much of Austin, Houston, and Dallas goes dark as New Oreleans and the surronding area. The effects are felt even in El Paso PA officals find that Seraphim was barely able to handle tracking the EMPs.

(Again, these are non-nuclear EMPS.)

March 14, 2020: In retalation for the Texas Black Out, a Japanese sub fleet sinks a sizable portion of the Argetina Pacific Fleet.

(So, where does it do from there? Argentina is doing a marvelous job of fighting the PA, certainly beyond what the PA thought it could do (they spent most of the 2010s preparing for the war. Britian and Japan were simply relishing in the economic success, and America was fighting a terrible recession.) Whatever the heck "Ghost" is is letting them move around more easily than they should. Also, now Argentina has a nice land bridge to move their vasy armies across.

Nuclear wise: PA wins, but Argentina is promising double retalation and a lot of the combat is on the soil of Brazil or otherwise pro-PA countries. The PA would certainly suffer if nukes fly.)

Army Size wise: Probably Argentina by the smallest of margines.

Trooper Quality: PA. Better guns and weapons and training make better men.

Brutality factor: Argentina is much more willing to break international law. This is good in some cases, not so good in others.)

(On the map, the Mexican ground the U.S. occupies is Free Mexico.)

[Prometheus_2300]

What is Ghost? and is it Russian Tech?

Either way I have to say the following

The Pacific Alliance has just been invaded. The countries of Coast Rica and West Panama have been taken. The US has been partially invaded, as is now Brazil.

Let the nukes fly. And the US still has those stealth missiles on Washington 1 which could theoretically bypass missile shields.

They would aim for Argentina supply centers, supply lines, and large 50,000 or over troop concentrations. Putin must now carry out his promise.

Also Bondoc you mixed in some 2010 PODs that leninsbeard made into the 2020s

[leninsbeard]

Ok so Prometheous (Wondering if thatName is based off of this Cartoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR0nUGRlmvw&feature=related), then this idea should be covered in a book.

January 21st 2029- Noted Journalist Tom Brokaw releases "Japs and Georges: A Look at Yakuza and Hawaiin Corruption Before Bokor: Among Major Dates Tom includes are the following:


January 1st 2010- The Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, Inagawa-kai,Aizukotetsu-kai, and Toa-kai Yakuzan groups Unite and form the Shogun Yakuza.

January 20th 2010- George Takei (R) is elected Governor of Hawaii. Almost immediatley, he is Positioned by the Hawaiian Shogan Yakuza as an easy friend of them, allowing easy access to travel to Hawaii. The reason is because Takei, a former Yakuza, largely hidden as the Local Tokyo Leader of the Shogun Yakuza now wants a path to America with Flows of Coke, SPANK (OTL's Speed), and other Drugs. The Yakuza Campaign for him to run for Governor of Hawaii as that is the Bridgeway from Japan to the US. Takei with funds from the Yakuza defeats Current Hawaiian Governor Rosie O'Donnell

January 29th 2010- Takei signs the "Free International Waters Act of 2010, which allows "Non Terrorist Groups to Travel freely for Trade, Toyrism, or Commerce."

August 16th 2010- Outspoken Former Democratic Candidate for Governor and Takei Critic Rosie O'Donnell is Mysteriously found slain in her Mansion in New York. She Mysteriously dies with a Gold Knife stabbed in her Mouth and a bullet lodged in her Scalp. Also on this day, Yakuza Critic from Tokyo, Mr. Hanashin Mutoah dies of a similar fate. After being notified by the Yakuza of the 2 Gifts, Takei says, "I guess the Time did Come".

September 4th 2010- The Yakuza by Now have reached Honolulu when "Friendly Press Inc.", a conglomerate of a Hiroshiman and Aloha Yakuza Front have bought the Honolulu Times and All other Newspapers in the State of Hawaii.

October 27th 2011- Takei signs with the Mayor of San Francisco, Mr. Hikaru Sulu, and Mayor of Tokyo Ichiro Suzuki in Collabiration with the UN to sign the "Pacific Free Waters Act" .

June 17th 2012- The Shogun Yakuza opens a Front in Honolulu called "Tropical Paradise". The Club attracts many Customers, even "Gay" Tony Blair, and Luis Gonzalez from the "Maisonette 9" and "Hercules" Franchises in New York and Miami. Millions are made in the Tourist attraction, all in the deep pockets of Yakuzan leader young JasutinBeibon (OTL's Fad Justin Beaver), heir to the throne of Uncle Kim Jung Il. (If Nmes are too Yowza, then we can just change it)

June-December 2012- The Yakuza by now have entered fully into Hawaii and San Francisco. The Lush and Beautiful Haleakalā Islands in the Maui Section have been converted into the Draconian section filled with Gold Cocaine and SPANK everywhere where Humans don't go. The Yakuza with the Takei Laws have been easy to take over, Hawaii to the Public is a Rich Tropical Paradise, but to the Private Sector, its Hell on Earth. San Francisco has its first ever Yakuza Friendly Event in Public, Jasutin Beibon throws out the first Pitch in a Tokyo Samurais game, and no one kmows about Takei's Corruption.


November 4th 2014- George Takei ends up with a 91% Landslide Victory against his "Puppet" Opponent Jaleel White. Obvious Corruption, Death, Fraud, and intimidation fill the airways. Also, on this day, Christopher Tucker is Elected Junior Senator of California, promising in his Victory Speech to "Spank the SPANK, Coke the Cocaine, and AchOOING the Yakuza". Takei at this moment orders the Assassination of Tucker via a SPANKED up Yakuza. The Yakuza's plan to Take over Japan starts with Terrorist Activities planned for 2015

November 25th 2014- Takei Sabatoges Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco by setting up Casino's with Yakuzan's hyped on SPANK to "Rape, Pillage, and Plunder San FranSicko", thereby ruining SkyCladism, boosting Tourism Economy in favor of the Yakuza's Operations in Hawaii and Tokyo.

What is Ghost? and is it Russian Tech?


Ghost will be revealed shortly. No, it is purely Argentine in design.

Putin still plans to carry out the promise, but Argentina's nukes make things complicated. Seraphim can only handle so much, and no one's quite sure how far Argentina will go.

[Prometheus_2300]

Ze Kaiser I had an idea for the Pacific Alliance defenses. Nanite Colonies. To the enemy they appear as silvery puddles, but if you step into it, well its deconstructs you at the molecular level. Might be helpful to the PA in the war in Brazil, as it would begin to deconstruct any vehicle or infantry. It would severely injury and cripple infantry, and vehicles will be stopped in their treads. Moats are now back as defenses.

March 15, 2020: The Pacific Alliance Fleet declares open warfare on any and all Argentine ships. Massive losses on the side of Argentina, which loses 5 of the seven carrier groups they had. The Blockade of Argentina is begun, No ship is allowed to leave Argentina occupied territories without being torpedoed or shot by fighters. The British are able to launch Archangel 1, a rushed program to take off some of the pressure on Seraphim. It is placed in Orbit. Japan's Rush program to place Cherabim-1 fails to make launch date

March 16, 2020: The Pacific Alliance authorizes the use of Strategic Nuclear Bombing. The first targets are the headquarters of the Argentina Occupation forces. The 6 stealth nuclear missiles are launched from Washington-1 and are guaranteed hits at the various Argentinan command centers. The expected result is the destruction of much of Argentina's invasion force in Mexico, Brazil, and Nicaragua, with the hope of minimizing civilian deaths in the now occupied American States. The Pacific Alliance Air Force begins battling for Air Superiority over much of Brazil, EUARS, and the territories occupied by Argentina.

March 17, 2020: Russian Okhrana Agents bribe Argentinan military officials to discover what GHOST is

October 31st 2011- Unemployment rises from 7. to 1.5% during the 2011 Year due to "Alleged Inability to use the Niihau Tourism Revitilization Project funds, also in part to a mysterious drop in Project Funds, delaying of Construction Projects, and loss of many Funds.". Takei keeps a Strong Face.

December 17th 2011- A Kohala Volcano Erupts off the Coast of the Island of Hawaiʻi, damaging parts of the largest Island in the State, and ruining Hilo, Hawaii. Over 25,000 Hawaiians died tragically in this incident. Many businesses and Shops close, replaced with Japanese Economy types of Shops (The same path where in that post, it says that Japan is helping Hawaii).

January 12th 2012- George Takei meets with President Bill Gates and the Japanese Leader to Discuss the Amnesty or reduce the sentence of many Yakuza Criminals who "Show an Oath of Allegiance to give up their old Ways".

Leninsbeard the 2010s are closed. They won't be added if you want to sort of back track them in, have anniversaries or announce the end of something or somehow mention them in the 2020s to make them official.

Oh and Yakuza in San Francisco is nothing new. Look up Harper in the finished timeline in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. She makes Governor Takei seem mildly corrupt by corrupt by comparison.

For Example:

March 18, 2020: A big day for Hawaii and a major win for Governor Bokor, the multiyear case of the state against Niihau Tourism board. Former Governor Takei is sentenced for a term of 20 years in state prison, The various companies of the Draconian section are fined heavily.

In terms of names, you might have to explain Tony Blair a bit since he is British and you have him in the Pacific. Kim Jung Il is a problem. He is not an heir to anything, Korea is a Presidental Republic that rejected Communism democratically in the 1970s I believe.

[thepenguin]

March 15, 2020: After the declaration of open warfare against the Argentinian Navy, a surface action group led by USS Akron (CSGN-32) and USS Virginia (CSGN-31) engages a group led by ARA Buenos Aires off the coast of Venezuela. Akron sinks the Buenos Aires, another cruiser, and a destroyer, and mission-kills the aircraft carrier ARA (insert name here), putting three eight-inch shells in her deck. Virginia sinks three destroyers and shoots down ten aircraft. Destroyers USS Monterey (DDG-66) and USS Seagram (DDG-69), both Electra Tesla-class (OTL's Arleigh Burke) guided-missile destroyers, shoot down ten aircraft each. Monterey surprisingly takes down the heavy cruiser ARA Zambrano, using a combination of 5-inch shell, and Javelin and Neptune (OTL's Harpoon) missile fire. Seagram sinks three frigates and two coastal patrol boats. The Akron Surface Action Group returns to Costa Rica after the action, known as the Ides of March Massacre.

Trust me, Harper never ordered Assassination of His Political Rivals, Ruined Economy of Others, Killed off Entire Plants And Species just to build Casino's and Nightclubs, Giving ALL of the funds to either Beibon's "Special Interest Groups" or Himself, Skyrocketed Unemployment by 30%, Allowing Terrorist Bombing through the Pacific and basically Screwing up Countries. And by the end of Takei's Terror, Harper will be Pol "Smoking" Pot compared to Stalin and Hitler's Lovechild named Takei.


March 18, 2020: . Former Governor Takei is sentenced for a term of 20 years in state prison, The various companies of the Draconian section are fined heavily.


That's it? Takei Ordered the Murder of at Least 100 People and all Other Heinous Crimes and only 20 Years?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?? Only Fines for That? By the time my De-Boot is over, Beibon will be singing in a Grave, and Takei will go Gay like In OTL dropping the Soap Too Much

It's just an example of how you can make 2010 history without making PODs in the 2010s. Just make them 2020 PODs about the fallout of Takei's reign. It was never intended to be an actual POD. Tell us the end of the story so that you aren't creating 2010 PODs which are closed.

Oh and I can't believe I didn't think of it. The Yakuza would never have a non-japanese as their leader in an area, so it can't be Beiber

[Ze Kaiser]

Ze Kaiser I had an idea for the Pacific Alliance defenses. Nanite Colonies. To the enemy they appear as silvery puddles, but if you step into it, well its deconstructs you at the molecular level. Might be helpful to the PA in the war in Brazil, as it would begin to deconstruct any vehicle or infantry. It would severely injury and cripple infantry, and vehicles will be stopped in their treads. Moats are now back as defenses.


Sounds good.

March 18, 2020: The Pacific Alliance Council permits the use of the latest weapon in the PA arsenal: Nanite Colonies. With Argentina hammering deeper into Brazil, the Brazilian army begins to place "moats" en masse.

March 19, 2020: The PA forces initate a strategic fall back. Argentine troops take this as a full fledged retreat and press forward with glee.

March 22, 2020: Argentine troops begin to die in doves as they get cross the "moats." In the confusion alone, South African and Brazilian troops manage to down about 150,000 Argentinans during this day alone. Over a million Argentine troops are lost to the nanite colonies by April 2020.

March 23, 2020: Canadian troops move into Nunavut after CIA agents let it known Ghost may be used to allow a suprise attack from Argentine forces from the north. Given the trouble the Pacific Alliance army has had tracking Argentine movements, no one aside from the sparcely populated Nunavut complains.

March 24, 2020: Canada offically reannexes Nunavut as a "measure of safety."

March 26, 2020: 550,000 Canadian troops are rushed across the American Pacific CALRAIL system to reinforce the hard pressed American and Mexican armies in Free Mexico.

March 27, 2020: Out of seemingly nowhere, Argentine naval vessels manage to blow the supercarrier USS John J. Pershing clean out of the water. Ghost is believed to be the reason that roughly 2,000 American sailors are sent to a watery grave.

March 29, 2020: Seraphim 8.5 manages to down a couple of nukes heading towards large cities in Brazil. In retaliation, PA forces drop a tactical nuke on a clustered group of 134,000 Argentine troops.

April 1, 2020: Another 300,000 British and Canadian troops are rushed to free Mexico to help hold the vast Argentine army. Despite three earlier tactical nukings, the Argentine forces hold strong.

April 4, 2020: President Putin orders American agents to secretly ship a couple of nukes to Cuba. From there, the Cuban supercarrier La Muerte carries them to a remote location in the blockade zone. The missiles used to carry the nukes are filled to the brim with the lastest radar and signal jamming technology.

April 6, 2020: La Muerte launches one of the American nukes at Córdoba, Argentina. The new American technology is very successful, and Córdoba is blown clean off the map. President Putin justifies this as revenge for all the innocent lives taken in Medina, a city part of a bloc that was never involved in the war.

April 8, 2020: Argentina promises to retaliate for the lose of their second largest city. The PA council recieves word of a rapid increase of civilian killings in Occupied Mexico and Nicaragua.

April 12, 2020: An Russian agent is sent an e-mail with the basics of Ghost. The Russians learn that Ghost is the ultimate system for bypassing all forms of tracking such as radar, pulsar, satelite scanning, etc. Unless one physically sees a ship, airplane, or airship with a Ghost system in it, it is virtually invisible to the all known forms of tracking. The informer formally apologizes for not knowing the actual technology behind it.

The email is signed KARMA.

(Yes, the same whoever who mutilated the Jester's corpse.)

April 14, 2020: An Argentine tactical nuke takes down 75,000 South African and Brazilian troops. Despite the lose, the nanite colonies have effective haulted the Argentine advance in Brazil.

April 18, 2020: A army of one million soldiers from across the PA arrives in Free Mexico to aid in the seemingly easier by the day task of pushing the Argentine army in Mexico back.

April 24, 2020: In a mind boggling turn of evens, a small portion of the Argentine Navy manage to bypass the massive PA naval blockade and lands 320,000 troops in Baja.

April 30, 2020: The United States Army handily crushes the invasion of Baja. 295,574 Argentine troops are killed or injured with only 7,052 American and 5,554 Canadian casualties total. President Putin declares it "a true curb stomp battle and the finest hour of the war."

May 2, 2020: With the war time production boasting the American economy, federal reports indicate that American economy grew about 7% during the first quarter of the year.

[Prometheus_2300]

Wow. Argentina must be hurting they have lost over 10% of their overall armed forces.

Oh and good work on Ghost, America will have a hard time getting around that. The only obvious countermeasure I can think of is lasers , but no one would think of that.

May 12, 2020: Argentina's Military Communications Nexus is sabotaged, by a joint effort between Oracle Task Force, Section 9 of Japan, and MI-E (or 15 for those who don't know Hex). Military command and control of Argentina are disrupted for a period of 12 hours.

During these 12 hours, PA bombers takeout 13 Argentine Airfields. Effectively ending the war for air supremacy. Bombers launched from Guantanamo, Cape Town and the Japanese floating fortress IJN Yamato (Imagine an super carrier with three runways like the attached pic. It can launch strategic bombers, to give you an idea of its size). Primary targets include war manufacturing plants and military supply centers for occupation and invasion forces.

May 15, 2020: Russian PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva calls President Putin. "I have a deal for the Pacific Alliance, but I want to talk to Pershing." when questioned why, PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva responded, "I don't want to face a weak negotiator from your state department"

May 16, 2020: Ashley Pershing lands in Yalta, to meet with PM Shkrebneva. Shkrebneva says "I presume you are briefed on the status of the Pacific Alliance's war effort. You are someone who carries the support of not only President Putin, but the entire Pacific Alliance. Castro was a stupid man, bent on conquest, but his successor this..." Pershing listens keenly, but Shkrebneva smiles, "is something Okhrana will keep to itself. What I want to talk to you about is, what is the Pacific Alliance willing to do" <she holds up a Datacard (OTL USB Key)> "for the answer to the Pacific Alliance's most asked question 'What is GHOST?' You have 20 minutes to make your proposal". Pershing crosses her arms, "I predicate any answer I may give under the condition that the information is both accurate and useful, and of course checking the information for authenticity"

Shkrebneva quirks an eyebrow, "No platitudes?" Pershing smirks, "You desire substance more then anything else. The relaxation of the tariffs on Russian plastics, the Pacific Alliance forgiving 350 billion rubles worth of your national debt, and our neutrality regarding Narusegawa and Hongzhi China."

Shkrebneva shakes her head, and places the datacard on the table "No. 18 minutes left "

Pershing sighes, "No on what points?"

Shkrebneva smirks, "Let's see that Stanford educated brain of yours jump through hoops."

Pershing considers for a moment, then a thought strikes her, "Why me? Out of the entire Diplomatic corps of the Pacific Alliance, the Council, and the various foreign secretaries, why me?"

"Perhaps I wanted to meet the next president."

Pershing shakes her head, "No, there's more to it then that. I suspect that you were involved with Argentina and know far more about Argentina's plans and intel then we do."

Shkrebneva adopted a look of mock outrage, "Is the Pacific Alliance accusing me of collaborating with one of its enemies"

Pershing smiled, "Of course not, I am just a senator. Of course I did visit Brussels and Baghdad, on President Putin's behest to gain a coalition"

Shkrebneva frowned "I am quite certain that many parties were angered with you that day."

"It's moot, since Argentina started to occupy Central America, a difficult position, one that you know was unlikely to supply, and difficult to hold." Pershing paused "Will you honestly answer two questions I am about to ask?"

Shkrebneva checks her watch, "16 minutes." See that was all the response she would get, Pershing proceeded.

"What does the Russian Empire want."

"To be the leading economic and military superpower, and be the most powerful nation in Asia."

Pershing nodded, "... and what do you want?"

Shkrebneva simply said, "To win."

Pershing considered for a moment. "I will maintain my previous offer, an offer Russia wants, but not what you want. I propose we play a game of Chess. If I win, you give the Datacard detailing GHOST free of charge. If you win, the deal will stand."

Shkrebneva scoffs "Not much incentive for me."

Pershing smiles, "...Except the satisfaction of knowing that you have beaten the one who outmanuevered your finest diplomats in Brussels and Baghdad"

Shkrebneva considers, then calls for her staff to prepare a board. "Very well Senator Pershing. We have a deal, no digital aids, just our wits and no timelimit. Neither one of us may leave these chairs until checkmate, or one concedes."

The game persisted for 8 hours. At turn 47 it was the end game, and the game was still close. But Pershing stumbled and lost her rook. In 4 more turns Shkrebneva had won. The agreement was reached, and signed by Shkrebneva as PM of the Russian Empire, and Ashley Pershing Appointed Diplomat of the Pacific Alliance to the Russian Empire. Once Pershing leaves with the Datacard, Shkrebneva once more visited the terrace where they played, and is surprised to see two house staff trying to clean Pershing's side of the table. Shkrebneva shoves them asides and sees the following etched into the wood.

47.Qc7+ (or Qd7+)

Shkrebneva utters a storm of profanities, at how Pershing took a dive just for the datacard, and the insult of intentionally losing to her. On the suborbital ride back to DC Pershing writes in her journal, "I don't like to lose either, but I think I won overall. The Pacific Alliance council won't necessarily like it, but for GHOST they would sell Hokkaido."

In Thomas K. Winthrop's Diplomatic History of the World: 2000-2050 published in 2052, he would write, "What Pershing did was nothing short of remarkable at that Chess game. For the first time since Shkrebneva's rise to power, her goals and the goals of Russia were in opposition."

<If anyone is wondering about the plausibility of the above match, I would point out this event from our timeline. The Soviet Union, who were years behind us in jet technology, won a shipment of Jet Engines from Rolls Royce, by winning a game of Billiards with Clement Attlee. Oh and if anyone is curious the chess move Pershing used is what Deep Blue would have countered with if Kasparov made a different move in game 2 in 1997>

May 18, 2020: A Pacific Alliance recon fighter spots a wing of Argentine bombers bound for New Orleans. The bomber wing is shot down with one bomber having a controlled crash landing into the bayou. The Argentine crew is killed on impact. Aboard this one bomber is a partially destroyed GHOST Module. (If the crew didn't go about destroying their equipment while crashing it would have been a complete working one, but the flight engineer was killed about half way through the destroying sensitive materials checklist before he was shot by a fighter's laser blasts.)

March 12, 2020: Noted Journalist Alexandria Quinzel releases "Japs and Georges: A Look at Yakuza and Hawaiian Corruption. Volume 1" The first section of the book focuses on the rampant corruption of Governor Takei, and an analysis of his ties to the Shogun Yakuza, a United Yakuzan Syndicate led by Jasutin Beibon. Interviews were done with Governor Bokor of Hawaii and Senator Tucker, about the battle over reforming Hawaii.

April 1st 2020- The 2nd Volume of "Japs and Georges: A Look at Yakuza and Hawaiian Corruption."is Released. With interviews and Information, the Takei Administration is Detailed. Hawaii in 8 Years of Takei had turned from a Utopian Vacation to a Hellish State. Takei, a Former member of the Yakuza had been elected Governor of Hawaii, beating Rosie O'Donnell for Governor. Takei than slowly allowed the Yakuza into the State, signing Local Laws that managed to allow Hawaii to roam Waters. It was Takei who by allowing the Yakuza to Own an Island with "The Niihau Tourism Revitilization Project", then Nationalizing Hawaii's Airlines and Cruise to the Yakuza, and in return allowed the Yakuza to Assassinate 147 Hawaiians, including Rosie O'Donnell. Nightclubs, Drugs, and the Draconian Section Hawai Flourish, but Hawaii's Unemployment rises. Money's Gone, People Suffer, Until Paul Bokor, A Native Hawaiian orders the removal of Takei. After a Short Civil War, Takei is Overthrown, and Takei becomes a Jailbird.


May 28th 2020- Bokor's First 2 Years as Governor have been Plenty Eventful. From putting money back to the economy, from dealing with Takei's Pet Projects to the Cleaners, and taking out the entire Drug Cartel in Draconian Section. Bokor might have had to deal at first with less Tourism, but with Strict Rape Laws, even Less Rapes have been commited, increasing Tourism back to Pre-Decrease Levels. Bokor has Completed "The Niihau Forestization Revitilization Project", an aim to Remove the Takei Projects on that Island, and Resurrect Extinct Species. Their Will be a 147 Room Hotel Allowed, but as part of a Memorial Project to Aid Victims of Yakuzan- Takei Harm. The Memorial culminates with a Statue of Hawaii, the Now Free State.

November 17th 2021- George Takei, Now serving a Life Sentence is found dead in his Jail Cell by A Smuggled gun. In his Suicide Note he Writes, "Death to the Imperialists". Also on this day, Jasutin Beibon is Publicly Executed by Firing Squad after being found guilty of enough crimes to make Takei Blush.

[leninsbeard]

January 7th 2020- Bokor Signs the "Clean Waters and Air Act of 2020", which basically is in OTL's Point of Making the Air and Water Clean, Less Pollution, where you see Blue skies every day. Hawaii's Tourism goes up by 7% by the end of 2020



May 12th 2020- In an Effort to boost His Image, Bokor Throws out the 1st Pitch in a Aloha Warriors at Aloha Stadium. Boikor is in a Novel sight, when the Manager of the Team, Doug Walker Pencils in Bokor in the 8th Inning as a Pinch Hitter during a 30-2 romp of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates Pitcher plays along, throwing him fat pitches... Until Bokor hits one 342 Feet to Left Field for a Homerun. After 5 Minutes of delay, the Homerun is official and Bokor is given a HR. When Bokor "Retires" after the At-Bat, he has a Perfect Record.


May 13th 2020- Bokor starts the NASCAR's Honolulu 1000, the Largest NASCAR event in USA History. Bokor would start as the 1st Driver brining the Drivers to the Start line, setting the pace for a Dale Earnhardt Jr. Victory.

May 14th 2020- Bokor asks Putin a way that they could bury the Hatchet once and for all. (How could Bokor bury Putin's Hachet?)

[Prometheus_2300]

May 14th 2020- Bokor asks Putin a way that they could bury the Hatchet once and for all. (How could Bokor bury Putin's Hachet?)

No, there is no way to do that. As there are several reasons why Putin hates Bokor.

1. 2016 election. Bokor unlike Putin, Pershing and Rodham didn't support a recount, and tried to start his transition, never once supporting a recount. In fact in the court case Putin v. Bokor cements that. Bokor didn't want recounts every other candidate did. So big minuses there once the votes were counted.

2. Independent Collusion. The fact that Bokor is accepting half the profits and in effect telling the nation that "I was robbed of the election", is a big middle finger to Putin.

3. Plumbers don't wear ties. Bokor used his TV show as a means of getting nearly a thirty minute infomercial throughout the campaign. An unfair election tactic

4. Winfrey. Winfrey shipped the Tesla Cannons to South American resistance groups, although there is no proof of a Bokor connection, Putin is suspicious.

5. Record of ignoring Presidental authority. Several times Bokor has acted almost as like he was sitting in the oval, this really annoys Putin, as he is the President, and Bokor the Governor of Hawaii. Bokor can't move federal government one iota and yet he still tries and sometimes does.

In short there is no way for Bokor and Putin to bury the hatchet. Bokor is probably persona non grata in DC. Invitations to the White House where all 56 governors are supposed to be there, Bokor never gets an invitation. If Bokor calls the White House, only a staffer will talk to him. He has zero chance of talking with Putin

Congress isn't much better. Liberal Congressmen will talk to him (Senator Tucker for one), but Republicans and Socialists won't. Flat out no. This is because Pershing is in control of the Senate and has been championing Socialist Republican coalition in the US for 8 years, and wants to be president in 2020.

Also you keep forgetting the 2016 compromise between the Socialists and Republicans. Putin gets a second term. Pershing gets the presidency in 2020. An agreement that both parties agreed to, and are still following.

Short of ASBs Putin and Bokor getting along would be like Nixon and Kennedy getting along in 1962 or Gore and Bush post election, but pre-9/11. It ain't going to happen.

Also in May Putin doesn't want to talk to Bokor about burying the hatchet or the election, as there is a war going on! Almost anything Bokor does campaign related will not be noticed because of the war dominating all the news

[leninsbeard]

Well, worst case scenario if Bokor loses in 2020 is that 1 of 3 things.

1. Either Bokor has a fair fight in 2024 without the Reds.
2. Bokor's Hawaii by 2030 is 6th in the World's Economy through a bunch of Plans.
3. A Hail Mary by the Tesla Group puts out Pershing for good.


1 of 2 if Bokor loses in 2020.
4.Tesla uses a Tesla Green Coil to Light up Hawaii and Dominate the State.
5. Bokor is cut down by a former Yakuza

June 5, 2020: The Liberal National Convention. The primary contenders are Paul Bokor, Governor of Hawaii; Tara Patrick, House Representative of New York's 23rd Congressional district. Junior Senator from Massacusetts, Conan O'Brien, makes the Keynote address. After the second ballot without a winner Patrick makes an offer to Bokor, "This convention will go on for another few rounds unless one of us gives, I don't want that. Name me VP and you will clinch the nomination, without compromising to Letterman or Carville. What do you say Paul?"

June 12, 2020: The Socialist National Convention. President Putin despite a strong draft movement, refuses to run for a third term. Putin informs party elders that the party should focus on gaining control of Congress, as although he will still follow the Compromise of 2016, that doesn't mean to give up Congress. Bernie Sanders gets the nomination for President, but without Putin's endorsement he stands little hope of good showing in 2020.

June 19, 2020: The Republican National Convention. In San Francisco, Ashley Pershing accepts the nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States. Michael Rosenbaum, former Governor of Maryland is named her running mate.

May 14, 2020: President Putin informs Bolkor to simply keep up his good work with Hawaii.

May 19, 2020: The half-Ghost module is rushed to a military base in North Dakota for eaxmination.

May 21, 2020: Argentine airforces successfully bomb New York City. With the damage is heavy in certain areas, no nuclear weapons are used.

May 23, 2020: In retalitation, Buenos Aires and key Argentine military bases are heavily bombed by PA forces.

May 25, 2020: Despite extremely heavy resistance, Argentine forces push into Texas. Before heavy damage can be done, President Putin orders selective tactical nuking as the army crosses remote parts of the desert.

May 28, 2020: Argentine troops are pushed out of Texas. Unlike the Baja invasion, PA troops take moderate casualties.

May 31, 2020: Argentine troops take Brasilia. Luckily, most of the Brazilian government has relocated to Sao Paulo.

June 4, 2020: President Putin orders the military to protect the nation conventions of the three major parties. He cites that CIA intelligence indicates a strong possiblity that Argentina might attack the conventions on hopes of taking out large parts of the American government.

June 8, 2020: 200,000 American citizens in Nicaragua are executed by Argentina on live television.

June 13, 2020: The Cuban supercarrier La Muerte stumbles upon Argentina's three largest naval groups. Facing absolute defeat, La Muerte uses the second American nuke, effectively taking out a fifth of Argentina's navy.

Argentina never finds out what caused the explosion and assumes that one of its own nukes failed.

June 20, 2020: President Putin and Congress establish the Daft. In his web address to the nation, Putin says "If I could have it any other way, I would not be asking for your help, comrades. Sadly, even with all the aid our allies are giving us, our armed forces are very pressed down there. We failed to keep Mexico free, but with your help, we will not allow Argentina to get its hands on anymore American territory, and when I say that, I mean the American continents, not just the United States."

June 25, 2020: Argentina effectively once again pushes the PA forces back into the United States. With all of Mexico, and thus Central America, effectively in its control, Argentina begins gearing up for a full-fledged invasion of the United States.

June 27, 2020: President Putin orders another 500,000 troops to the border. The American army and all PA forces debate whether to switch to a defense strategy or make another attack.

June 28, 2020: Nigeria lands 250,000 troops in the United States. Also, the South African and American navies engage the main Argentine Fleet and win handily. The battle effectively breaks the Argentine navies back.

June 30, 2020: The best minds of the Pacific Alliance manage to fully reconstruct the captured Ghost unit.

(So, the air war is more or less over, though Ghost is forcing the PA to keep its guard up. The naval war is gearing down, but Argentina is still putting up a fight. However, Argentina is now at the front door of Sonora and Texas and is deep into Brazil, but the PA now has all mysteries of Ghost.)

Mwahahahaha. Talk about a Power Trip. How would Pershing be holding up?

[Prometheus_2300]

Argentina has lost roughly 15% of its armed forces.
20% of its navy

The Pacific Alliance has Air Supremacy and Space Supremacy.

July 1, 2020: The Battle of Hidalgo. Pacific Alliance Warwalkers execute a pincer move on Argentina's invasion forces. The combination of nanite moats, Patton Mk3 Warwalkers, and Pershing Battle Tanks. A timely Oracle attack on Argentinan communications, turns the once orderly Argentinan Invasion, into a confused panic. Many Argentinan soldiers die from nanite swarms, many vehicles are crippled due to air raids. This half of Argentina's invasion is sent into retreat. 4 star Allied General Claudia Christian is the hero of the hour and credited with designing this stunning victory.

July 2, 2020: Following the Nicaraguan massacre, The Pacific Alliance, doubles its use of strategic nuclear bombing. Their first target, was a one previously rejected by the Pacific Alliance Council. The Santiago Military Supply Station, in the center of Santiago, Argentinan Empire. Other similar targets are chosen specifically aimed at the largest concentration of Argentine soldiers, but no longer is the Pacific Alliance that concerned about Civilian casualties in Argentina.

July 3, 2020: The Battle of Brownsville begins. The battle turns into a hellish stalemate that no army could break. Nanite moats keep PA forces safe, but Argentine ground forces using GHOST modules are able to elude any smart bomb runs. The battle turns to Trench Warfare in the rough terrain.

July 4, 2020: The Pacific Alliance makes an amphibious landing in Blue Fields, Nicaragua, beginning the long march towards Managua, the former state capital. The Battle for Nicaraguan Independence has begun. A similar but smaller landing is made on the

<before Argentina executed 200,000 American citizens on TV, the strategy was to push the Argentinans back across the canal into South America. But now Nicaragua needs to be liberated now. Argentina isn't meeting even the minimums that Christophe, Shkrebneva, or Trudeau had. Outright execution was never done. Although I am somewhat curious how Argentina killed 200,000 Americans in such a short time.>

July 9, 2020: Unrestricted submarine warfare goes forward. The Carrier Yamato moves closer to Argentina.

July 12, 2020: Oracle cracks GHOST's encryption, and uploads the PHANTOM Cypher to the Pacific Alliance Space network. Satellites can now spot GHOSTed units.

July 15, 2020: Claudia Christian's Army makes an ambush on Argentinan supply lines, disrupting the Argentinan Western Invasion force. The Western Invasion Force is forced to retreat to Acapulco. The PA Pacific Fleet torpedoes and gains control of the Pacific above the 16th Parallel. A GHOST cloaked planned invasion force to relieve Brazil was strategically nuclear bombed at their rally point in Urugruay. On this day nearly 896,000 Argentinan troops are killed, and roughly 15% more of the Argentinan Navy is sunk.

Ze Kaiser... your turn for the second half of the month

20% of Argentinan troops lost.
35% of Argentinan navy is lost

Quite Well actually. Pershing is a veteran politician, and knows some of Patrick's dirty secrets.

Well remember how Bokor tried to rip apart Patrick and nearly succeeded. What's to stop Pershing, a veteran politician who has observed Patrick working in the House, and now has very good motivation to rip Patrick apart.

Has the World Series happened yet for 2020? If so can it be between the SF Volts and the Hawaiian team. Pershing likes the Volts and would put in appearances at games 5 and 7. Also it would be interesting seeing both candidates at the game. Especially since its about 2 days before election

[leninsbeard]

To Quote the Mayor from a Kablam Cartoon, "YOU'RE JOHN IS GONE! FULL POWER!". Anyway, to answer most of the questions that some of you are expecting.

Bunning's Record- With Spitballs and Different Playing Conditions, Bunning has a Better Chance.

Tucker- He doesn't mind the VP Change, in fact, Tucker wants to spend some time preparing for his career, and helping himself by starting Liberal-Republican Relations by 2030.

Highway connecting US to Hawaii- The Bill gets passed in 2018, and by 2020, thanks to a Lowering of Unemployment, all of Hawaii's Islands and 212 Miles of Other Land have been Completed. The Roads are Retractable Roofed from Honolulu to LA, and have been prepared to survive everything, execpt the EXTREME Hurricanes and Nukes.

MLB- 40 Teams occupy the League, Baseball becomes a World Sport in the Olympics, always dominated by the Americans, except in 04 by losing a 3-0 Lead in the Olympic World Cup to Canada. Stadiums have its own Quirks, and there are enough stars to Shine.

Tesla- Tesla becomes an odd state of Weirdness. On one hand, they lost Tesla Cannons (The Official Word is that Bokor was not Involved), but Tesla Coils show up in Hawaii (If this is too awful for Bokor, its gone).

Hawaii- It is expected that by 2030, Hawaii will be equivilant to 6th in the World's Economy. Hawaii thanks to Strict Crime Laws have raised Tourism, and Hawaii by 2030 will have 3.7% Unemployment, a Record.

Bokor vs. Pershing- Expect thiscampaign to be brutal. We need a 3rd Party to prevent me from going like I attempted in 2016.

Hope that solves all Question's.

Giants
Dodgers.
Whales

July 1, 2020: Gallup Polls releases the first polling for the 2020 Presidental Election

47% Pershing / Rosenbaum
26% Bokor / Patrick
12% Sanders / ?????
15% undecided

Pershing herself has announced that she won't be campaigning until major combat operations in Central America are over, but that her staff will work on it. Pershing meets with President Putin to discuss foreign policy with Secretary Willis.

Rosenbaum however begins campaigning in the Northwest.

Sanders unprepared for the political battle in 2020, makes a few speeches. However most of the Press wants to know why isn't Putin endorsing him. A question that Sanders does not have an answer for. The lack of Putin's endorsement is embarassing, as Putin's approval rating is now nearly 82%

Patrick makes headlines, when she makes a much publicized trip to Catalina Island to campaign. Her speech against Argentina dispels many preconceptions that Bokor is soft on war, but places him as a more moderating force to Patrick's war hawk. Patrick talks to Bokor via videophone and says two words before hanging up "You're welcome"

Pershing campaign is at present not worried about losing California at present, althhough Rosenbaum had to promise Pershing that he would visit her home state to garantee that Pershing wouldn't lose its 56 EVs.

July 2nd 2020- Bokor Returns the favor by defending the Actions of Tara's Actions. Bokor also takes the Advantage of Pershing's Decampaigning by Making his Famous "200 Towns Tour", 200 Town Hall Meeting are scheduled until 200. All 200 Towns vote for Bokor as the Majority in the Election, thanks to Bokor's Promise to "Expand Rails and Traffic fron Sea to Shining Sea, Cleaning our Water and Air, and to Argentina, The Buck Stops Here!".

July 4th 2020- Bokor Famously steps into the Gridiron for 1 Minute as a Runningback for the Aloha Volcano's in the USFL. Bokor as a Runningback scores exactly 12 Yards, a 3 Yard Pass, and Hawaii Guaranteed into the Bokor Zone.

BTW, this Map is the Expected map that Bokor is Targeting for. Reds are the Expected Reds Zone, Blue being Expected Pershing, Alaska Tossing up, and Green going Bokor. A Couple of States could go either way.

Ouch bad move. Pershing is not campaigning herself because she is serving her country as a diplomat, so once the war is over she gets much better press. Rosenbaum is still out there though.

[Prometheus_2300]

Also I propose this map

Tennessee has been a Republican Stronghold as has Florida.

Also Liberals would get New York, Missouri, Illinois, and Massachusetts

Following Putin's 2 four year plans, the Breadbasket would vote Socialist, unless Putin tells them to vote otherwise.

Any other questions about it I will be happy to answer.

[Prometheus_2300]

The issues in the above swing areas

* Religion (Patrick came to power vilifying these people. Pershing is atheist)
* Rio Grande border (big issue for Texas)
* Illegal Immigration
* Drug Trafficking
* Failing economy
* Bible Belt
* CMA (Patrick came to power vilifying these people.)

Oh my the Bible Belt and the Old South are the SWING STATES!

July 23, 2020: Michael Rosenbaum visits Salt Lake City. He campaigns heavily, but the thing the press want to ask him about the most is Utah's Supreme Court's decision that multiple marriages are allowed. Rosenbaum responds by supporting the Court's decision and that the issue is of one of great sensitivity that should be handled at the State level and not the Federal Level. This decision pleases the Mormon lobby in the state.

Good for Tucker, he won't get much going before 2030 though. Oddly a Pershing win in 2020 would make this easier for him.

Not even the engineering of this world could build that highway. That's a megaproject and unfortunately the PA is building one and can't build another right now, The Space Elevator, and not another megaproject for the foreseeable future with the war's cost. The bill is probably one that has no funding attached so its basically paper.

Japan is actually supercompetive and enthusiastic about baseball, so they probably compete often with the US in the olympics. I imagine Japan and the US trade the gold and silver often.

You have mentioned this 6th largest economy before and I must ask... Why? Tourism is a big industry but that's pretty much all Hawaii has besides an agriculture sector. California IOTL only is 8th in the world and that is this LINK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gross_Domestic_Product_of_California_2008_%28 millions_of_current_dollars%29.svg). Notice how Tourism isn't up there, its very small in comparison to that and part of one of the bigger pies. It can't be manufacturing in Hawaii otherwise the shipping costs would kill it. So what is the big industry?

You are partially right on the election being brutal, but it's one Pershing won't start. The first one to smear is seen worse. So Bokor may need to reign in Patrick's mudballs or it will cost both of them. Pershing knows how to campaign. She is playing the serving my country card, and letting Rosenbaum campaign. This gives Pershing an advantage. One if Rosenbaum messes up she can clean it up, and two, when the war is over and Pershing campaigns, it creates the impreession that Bokor was NOT serving his country and a dirty political opportunist, using his opponent absence to gain an "unfair" advantage. Pershing is really good at setting up those political traps, and Bokor just waltzed right into it with that 200 town tour

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Ouch bad move. Pershing is not campaigning herself because she is serving her country as a diplomat, so once the war is over she gets much better press. Rosenbaum is still out there though.

Actually, it means things are really bad for Pershing, because if peace talks fail, or if the administration fails to anticipate the next foreign policy event, she will take the blame. Just remember how in OTL, George W. Bush tried to pin Bill Clinton for the intelligence failures that caused 9/11 Or better yet, how the "Mission Accomplished" banner for George W. Bush in 2003, turned into an embarasssment in 2006 and 2008...

Hehehehe... This'll solve Texas and Ohio.

July 7th 2020- Bokor Announces to a Sold out Crowd in Houston, Texas that if elected, Bokor would Limit Illegal Immigration by building a 25 Foot, Barbed Wire, Electrical Fence to Prevent Illegal Immigration from raking over.

July 8th 2020- In Ohio, Bokor in order to ask help from Letterman adopts a secularist policy by saying, "Every Person has the right to choose their own religion without anyone blocking them."

[leninsbeard]

July 9th 2020- Bokor in Arizona notices the Rampant Drug called SPANK affecting the state. Bokor after a Simple Rewrite from his Hawaiian Laws manages to Propose "The Drug Trafficking Law of 2021". Among the points included are.

1. Trafficking Drugs as a US Citizen nets you a $1 Million Fine, as well as a 25 Years Mandatory No Parole sentance. The 2nd time up, it's Life.

2. For a Non US Citizen, its Automatic Life Deportatioon, and 2nd Time up nets Life in Prison.

3.Harsh Punishments for Drug Use 1 Oz and up, lesser terms for Less. For 1st Timers, 420 nets 20 Years, Coke gets 35, SPANK is 50. 2nd Timers gets Life.

Discusing the New Fence to be built to combat illegal immigration is More Known.

1. 25,000 Men Roaming around the New Fence, with State of the Art Surveillance and Technology.

2.The II Fence would be Built as part of an Infastructure Program to Lower Unemployment.

The Mississipi River also becomes a Valuable War Port, with the help of Old George Steinbrenner's Shipbuilding Company, now Part of the Gov's Deal.

July 11th 2020- Mobile as Part Of Bokor's Plan Accordong to a Town Hall Meeting Gets Money for Being the Only Port in Alabama, being a Gateway to the Midwest in Alabama's Misissippi River.

July 12th 2020- To Get Utah, Polygamy would be Considered Legal with "The Mormon Marriage Utah Act of 2021", but only if their a Mormon. Also this day, New Mexico is Expected under to Bokor's Plan to have Green Oil With a Key Act being Passed. The Bill Would Prevent Pollution from Interfering with Crude Oil and Natural Oil.

July 10th 2020- Mississippi gets Bokor Fever with the Promise of The Waters to Fish for Free, Removing a Precedent that last for 50 Years. Mississippi would be giving huge incentive and Profits for those who use Agriculture to help out in a Voulnteer Gov. Programs. Those that Sign up earn as Much as $100,000 Per Acre Per Year. The Mississipi River also becomes a Valuable War Port, with the help of Old George Steinbrenner's Shipbuilding Company, now Part of the Gov's Deal.

July 13th 2020- Bokor Makes A Famous "Addiction to Oil" Speech. In It, Bokor Mentions that thanks to New Technology being Made by Companies, Electric, Hybrid, Solar, and Other Types of Non Oil Ways could be Made at a Low Cost. Bokor Mentions that with Too Much Oil Being Used, the Oil would Eventually Run out Someday. By 2030, No Matter ho won, now close to 50% of Drivers use None Petrol Cars, Leting Oil Survive for the Time Being.


Speaking of Which, how DID Cleveland end up as a Village?

It suffered from a nuclear disaster. All of Lake Erie was evacuated.

Pershing will hit Bokor on this Oil thing by the way, and she (via Rosenbaum) already campaigned hard in Utah.

[Prometheus_2300]

July 9, 2020: At the CALRAIL Station in Denver, Rosenbaum delivers his "Rails across the country" speech. He and Pershing supports expanding CALRAIL across the country but that the Private sector can also use the rail lines to aid businesses, manufacturing and competition. The State competing with the Private market.

July 12, 2020: Rosenbaum campaigns hard in New York City, visiting the Thomas E. Dewey Central Library. He also makes a trip upstate and is able to get the tacit endorsement of the New York Steel Workers Association. They want a meeting with Pershing before they give anything more.

July 15, 2020: Michael Rosenbaum, visits the Palo Verde Fusion Complex. His speech on America's Energy Policy, "unlike Pershhing's presidential opponent, call for hurting America's hard working Plastics workers. Ever since the 1970s over 50% of America's cars have been electric. By 2000 less than 2% of the cars on the road were petrol burning. I will go one step beyond Bokor, If the tie vote comes up in the senate, I will vote yes for banning all petrol burning cars". Pershing/Rosenbaum gains the supports of America's Plastic Workers or APW.

July 18, 2020: Rosenbaum visits Hermosillo, Sonora to visit the damaged state capital. Also Ashley Pershing, as part of her Central American tour, speaks with President Ruiz, Leader of the Mexican Government in exile in Hermosillo:

July 20, 2020: Rosenbaum visits Harvard Law Professor, Noah Antweiler to debate his strong objection to Pershing's proposed revision of the Criminal Justice Code. Before a packed house Rosenbaum was able to win the debate. "The Law Code as it stands doesn't fit 21st century crimes, we must revise! A new code of laws for a new millennium."

July 23, 2020: In response to Bokor's stance on mormon marriage, the Christian right organization, The Alabaman Baptist Ministry, and the Southern Baptists of Georgia endorse Pershing in response. Reverend Jacob Archer said, "We'd rather have a Republican that has some belief in State Rights, then Bokor's extreme federal government."

July 25, 2020: Rosenbaum hold a press conference on his three day stay in Texas. The issues he speaks about is the Mexican refugee problem, The water crisis, and CALRAIL Expansion. He is in favor of CALRAIL expansion, as long as the private sector can use it and businesses be allowed to compete against the state option. He also assures the Mexican American vote in Texas by coming out against the idea of a wall, but instead offering the solution of a "guestworker program", and also visits a refugee camp in Texas

July 30, 2020: The Senate Office of Budget Management reports that Bokor's plan for a wall across the Rio Grande

Rosenbaum in July was able to do the following

Rosenbaum's schedule

Colorado
Texas
New York
Ohio
Florida

Why Yes, Rosenbaum is trying to steal New York and Massachusetts from Bokor, and win the largest swing states.

August 1, 2020: Tara Patrick prepares a negative ad blitz in response to Rosenbaum's planned visit to New York. Meanwhile Pershing hears rumors that Patrick is preparing a negative ad blitz from her jet over the Caribbean "Well Bokor, who wants to fire first" and calls Whitford her Campaign manager, and telling them to start their own smears on August 10, should Patrick's blitz air.

Bokor can't do anything for legislation in other states, he can only propose ideas. You are looking at a minimum of a three month wait before Bokor was able to convince the governor, the state assemblies and the courts actually get something resembling Bokor's ideas through, and after all that those politicians will be scrambling for the credit and drown out Bokor. Bokor's built alliances in New Mexico, but popular support with those laws... not that much.


<Yeah... Cars have been electric for a while. Even military vehicles are electric>

Electoral Map as of July 31, 2020. Two swing states are now solid. Utah for Bokor, South Carolina for Pershing. Bokor needs to do damage control up in Massachusetts or New York or risk having them become swing states. Patrick recommends cancelling South Cuba and Florida for New York and Massachusetts

Oh and shall we limit it to 5 state visits per month for now. I can't write that much more then for campaign month.

Advantage still to Pershing Electorally. Pershing has 234 ish to Bokor's 125ish. (Note I am using a 2004 Electoral map to calculate, but since it doesn't have South Cuba, Sonora, or Baja on there, there is a bit of guess work)

WAR UPDATE

July 16, 2020: With GHOST now cracked, the Battle of Brownsville ends, the Argentinan soldiers flee.

July 18-25, 2020: Argentinan forces no longer protected by GHOST, begins a rapid retreat to the Isthmus of Tehantepec.

July 19, 2020: The Argentinan General in charge of Mexico City, when she receives news of GHOST ineffectiveness, orders her army to fleet to Tehuantepec to force a chokepoint

July 20, 2020: The 5th Army Group in Nicaragua, encounters heavy resistance as they march towards Managua, Nicaragua. PA Bombers, bomb the former governor's palace, killing Luis Santiago, the Colonel who ordered the public execution of 200,000 Americans.

July 24, 2020: Ashley Pershing is the American official on site as President Ruiz, announces from the new Mexican capital at Mazatlan, and 400,000 Mexicans listening that "With many thanks to our Northern Neighbors. Mexico is free once again!" to thunderous applause. Ruiz delivering the speech, is featured on the cover of TIME Magazine, Pershing is also on the cover standing just a few feet from him when Ruiz is delivering the speech.

A journalist after the speech at the Press conference afterwards asks, senator Pershing, "When will you start your campaign." although the journalists queestion was nearly shouted down by the Mexican reporters Pershing responds, "It seems that even a large war won't keep these questions away. In short, I won't appear on the Campaign Trail myself until Alliance troops retake the Canal, once all of North America is free of Argentina's tyranny."

July 27, 2020: 150,000 Australian Troops land and reinforce General Claudia Christian's army as she races down Central America. The Battle of Tehuantepec begin.

July 29, 2020: A deployment of 75,000 British Commonwealth soldiers from Belize, catches Argentina by surprise. The successful pincer attack, forces the Argentinan army to flee along the Pacific Coast, under artillery fire of the Pacific Fleet.

July 30, 2020: Pacific Alliance Troops liberate Guatemala City. Claudia Christian famously says.

Next Honduras, and El Salvador and for the pincer move. where I suspect at least 1.2 million Argentinan troops could be captured. With GHOST gone, Argentina is demoralized, and fearing the huge war machine of the Pacific Alliance. Following the execution of 200,000 Americans, I doubt the brutality example will help Argentina much anymore.

[Ze Kaiser]

August 3, 2020: Brazilian General Victor Alexander Rocha (a nobody in our timeline) is placed in charge of the coalition of South African and Brazilian soldiers.

August 5, 2020: With Argentina's forces spread incredibly thin trying to hold the PA forces in Brazil, General Rocha orders Operation Reigning Diety to commence. Tactical nuking and extrememly air and artillery barrages is used on Argentine forces holding down the Buenos Aires area of Argentina.

August 7, 2020: President Putin orders the use of all American EMPS on Buenos Aires. When questioned about his decision after the war, Putin responses "We will be fixing the electrical crisis in Texas for years. Until now, the Pacific Alliance has refrained from stooping to Argentina's level, but unfortunately, that lead to the execution of 200,000 innocent American comrades."

August 8, 2020: Operation Black Out begins.

August 11, 2020: After many days of repeated EMP attacks, Buenos Aires and the surrounding area of about 200 milies is effectively blacked out.

August 13, 2020: General Rocha orders the main Brazilian army forward to Buenos Aires. Due to the heavy shelling, resisitance is very light.

August 16, 2020: General Rocha begins laying siege to Buenos Aires.

August 23, 2020: South African troops manage to caputre three of Argentina's top ranking general.

Agust 27, 2020: President Putin orders 300,000 American troops to Brazil to aid General Rocha.

August 31, 2020: Buenos Aires falls into Brazilian hands.

September 1, 2020: Guatamala is liberated by Canadian troops.

September 5, 2020: Nicaragua is once again back in PA hands.

September 11, 2020: After several days of bloodshed, General Lorenzetti, once again in power after the radicals who overthrew him were captured by South African forces, sues for peace, citing "This damn madman's war has gone on too long."

(So here's the deal, Argentina still has everything from Costa Rica down. They also still have a massive army in Brazil. General Lorenzetti is more than willing to pull all Argentine forces out of Central America (as in everything from Costa Rica to the Canal Zone), but he is going to be unwilling to withdraw from the former EURAS. Also, some parts of Brazil are so solidly in Argentina hands that the more radical generals might once again push General Lorenzetti aside and continue the fighting if they were to give it up without compensation.

All I know is that negotiations are going to be a mess. Argentina is still is decent fighting shape, and the PA does not need to lose any more man power with Russia looming off in the distance. Based on the shiny new weapons of this era, Argentine brutality, and nukes flying everywhere, I estimate at least 55 million dead. That's WWII right there, so is the PA willing to continue the bloodshed and make Argentina a desperate animal, willing to do anything to survive?)

[leninsbeard]

August 1, 2020: Tara Patrick prepares a negative ad blitz in response to Rosenbaum's planned visit to New York. Meanwhile Pershing smiles from her jet over the Caribbean as the first negative ad from Patrick runs in New York, "Well Bokor, let the mudslinging begin" and calls Whitford her Campaign manager, and telling them to start their own smears on August 10

<First to negative ads, Patrick.>

Bokor can't do anything for legislation in other states, he can only propose ideas. You are looking at a minimum of a three month wait before Bokor was able to convince the governor, the state assemblies and the courts actually get something resembling Bokor's ideas through, and after all that those politicians will be scrambling for the credit and drown out Bokor. Bokor's built alliances in New Mexico, but popular support with those laws... not that much.


<Yeah... Cars have been electric for a while. Even military vehicles are electric>

Bokor needs to do damage control up in Massachusetts or New York or risk having them become swing states. Patrick recommends cancelling South Cuba and Florida for New York and Massachusetts

NOOO! Tara did NOT post a Negative Ad. I shall veto the vote on Bias. If anyone wants to post a Fair Election, go ahead. But by the end of 2020 if no one 3rd Parties it, Pershing will be like Dr. Robotnik from Sonic, and Bokor would be The Mayer from Action League Now. But to spice it up...

August 1st- Tara thinks about posting a Negative Ad, but then backs off at the last Moment by Bokor.

August 2nd- The Whole Election Process has Gone to Hell after Paul
Bokor Tragically was Killed by a Yakuzan Bullet. A State Funeral is Planned for the 4th. The Nation Mourns

At this Rate, Bokor is lucky to win as Much as he did in 2020. Pershing has a 99% Win, even if she is Caught in a Lesbian Affair with a Mormon in Argentina while Colluding to Kill the US Army.

[Ze Kaiser]

And now for this:

July 31, 2020: Alaskan Governor Dimitri Mendelev accepts Bernie Sanders' offer to be his Vice President. The hopes are that with his protoge aboard, President Putin will finally endorse Sanders.

September 15, 2020: President Putin announces that if Sanders or Pershing were to win, he would stay on as the Secretary of Defense in the next administration.

October 31, 2020: At a massive Socialist rally in Alaska, Candiate Bernie Sanders, Governor Dimitri Mendelev, and President Putin all gather. The news of the day is that Putin will finally give his endorsement.

As Putin takes the post to make his speech, Sanders notices something odd out of the corner of his eye. His suspiscion is confrimed when somebody in the audience shouts, "He's going to kill the President!"

Faster than he has ever moved in his life, Sanders pushes Putin out of the way just as a brilliant blood red laser streaks across the sky. No more than second later, the laser pierces Sanders' heart, blooding spraying the air and covering the the two Russian Americans on stage.

The Secret Service quickly guns down the assassin, but the damage is done.

After five long minutes of shock, quietly talking with Governor Mendelev, and the Secret Service insisting that he leave, President Putin takes the post once more. He looks at his now blood covered speech and begins,

"Comrades, I came here today to tell you who I would give my blessings to. While I have enjoyed all the cooperation of the Republican party and once again thank them for everything, I must remind the nation that I am a Socialist first and formost. Sadly, the man who was going to get my endorsement, one who has supported me for eight years now, is no longer with us." Putin pauses as he begins to tear up. "Governor Mendelev has informed me that he no longer has the heart to continue campaigning. As of now, there will be no Socialist candidate on the ballot. Picking a replacement would insult Bernie. He did not have to take the shot for me. If I had been the one to die, he would have found himself in a much better position to win the election, as President of the United States, backed by a nation of sympathy. No, instead, Bernie made the ultimate sacrifice.

"However, I came here to endorse somebody, and I will now do so. I give my full support to Senator Pershing. Bernie knew how conflicted I am about this, but I now only have one choice. It would be an insult to everyone I have worked with not to do this." Putin turns to leave, but the microphone picks up one last line.

"If you can hear me Bernie... forgive me."

The audience is still to shocked to do anything as Governor Mendelev and the Secret Service escort President Putin, now sobbing beyond control, away.

November 2, 2020: President Putin attends Sanders' funeral.

[leninsbeard]

And now for this:

"However, I came here to endorse somebody, and I will now do so. I give my full support to Senator Pershing. Bernie knew how conflicted I am about this, but I now only have one choice. It would be an insult to everyone I have worked with not to do this." Putin turns to leave, but the microphone picks up one last line.

.



... Bokor shall die now. With Putin's endorsement, Sympathy Votes goes to Pershing. Now, Pershing can Personally murder every person on Planet Earth, and could still beat Bokor. YOUR PAUL IS GONE! FULL POWER!.

August 4th 2020- The State Funerl of Paul Bokor is Occuring. Putin offers condolences, and other Congressmen do. Vice Gov. Bob Saget is in Charge of Hawaii, and thanks to a Book in his Cabinet, Hawaii can have Bokor Polices for the Time Being. When his Posthumous Biography is released called "The Life and Times of a Plumber Governor" in 2035, The Writer Notes that "Although his Policies at First were Controversal, Hawaii is now the Largest Economic State behind Texas, New York, and California. Bokor will be remembered". Tara's VP is now Howards Stern, a Senator from New York.

[Prometheus_2300]

NOOO! Tara did NOT post a Negative Ad. I shall veto the vote on Bias. If anyone wants to post a Fair Election, go ahead. But by the end of 2020 if no one 3rd Parties it, Pershing will be like Dr. Robotnik from Sonic, and Bokor would be The Mayer from Action League Now. But to spice it up...

August 1st- Tara thinks about posting a Negative Ad, but then backs off at the last Moment by Bokor.

August 2nd- The Whole Election Process has Gone to Hell after Paul
Bokor Tragically was Killed by a Yakuzan Bullet. A State Funeral is Planned for the 4th. The Nation Mourns

At this Rate, Bokor is lucky to win as Much as he did in 2020. Pershing has a 99% Win, even if she is Caught in a Lesbian Affair with a Mormon in Argentina while Colluding to Kill the US Army.

umm actually Bokor has a good chance, its far from going to be a blow out. Patrick can be reigned in easily, remember she is the VP candidate, and VP and Presidental candidates rarely do get along, especially with a McCarthy clone as VP and a Moderate Prez candidate. Bokor can easily trump her and pull the plug before it airs. If Bokor wants to pull the plug. PULL IT!

In all likelihood Pershing who is going to stay and negotiate the peace isn't going to campaign except for maybe 2 days, which means Rosenbaum is going to be running ragged. Yes the election season would be brutal, in fact one thing that i haven't brought up is that Pershing is addicted to caffeine pills, she is so dedicated to beating Bokor, and running foreign policy at this time, and has simply taken too much out of her. If Bokor's campaign pushes her stress levels too high she goes kaput..

Even right now, before Sanders' death, Pershing only has maybe 54% to Bokor's 46%, enough that serious campaigning can shift it back, and a major scandal or two can change.

[leninsbeard]

In If Bokor's campaign pushes her stress levels too high she goes kaput..



Yeah, but how? We're talking about a Woman who came back with 23 Acadamey Awards, a Nobel Peace Prize, and a Super Bowl. If Tara becomes a Prez Candidate, she Goes and Pershing goes. If you disagree with Bokor Dead, we Shall Vote with us 2 and 3 Other 3rd Parties.

[Prometheus_2300]

Yes Pershing got the peace prize, and Bokor got 'Independent Collusion'. It balanced that.

Besides Pershing is betting a lot on Foreign Policy. It's worked because the war exploded, but domestically? Pershing says CALRAIL, Reform the law code with emphasis on Corporate Corruption, and private sector competing with the state options.

Debates Bokor will stomp over Pershing in domestics. Foreign policy, Pershing will stomp over Bokor.

Also our election strategies are widely different. I am going after lobbies and issues, you are just going straight for states.

[leninsbeard]

Oh Right, I suppose Bokor can Live, Skip the Death POD's.. Well. in Other News....

July 17th 2020- Tesla Dynamic announces the Creation of the First ever Invisible Car, used for the War Effort. The Car, named "The Philadelphia Experiment" allows in a 24 Hour Recharge to go invisible for 10 Consecutive Hours. Tesla wonders if Putin will Accept the Car or not.

[Prometheus_2300]

September 14, 2020: Secretary of State Willis and Ashley Pershing are received by General Lorenzetti of Argentina, to begin talks regarding the future of South America, and in particular the EUARS

September 16, 2020: Willis and Lorenzetti reach an impasse. Talks are stalled over the issue of the EUARS. In recent years the EUARS has been a source of corruption, narcotics, and guerrillas, ever since the collapse of their communist government in 2017. Pershing uses the opportunity to tour Buenos Aries, and see what the city is like behind the masks of pageantry and military staging. She finds a nation rife with poverty, and resistance to the military regime. However she also discovers that Lorenzetti's hold on Argentina is tenuous at best. She and Secretary Willis meet to discuss after a long day of negotiation.

September 19, 2020: The two sides reach an agreement. The CN War criminal court will try the 230,000 Argentine soldiers in American POW camps, and the other occupying armies of Costa Rica and Panama. A tenuous agreement is reached that should any country north of the canal seek Pacific Alliance membership, Argentina will not object. The issues of Argentina, Brazil and South America are not met.

September 30, 2020: While Secretary Willis meets more with Lorenzetti, Ashley Pershing visits with Brazilian President Friente in the recently liberate city of Brasilla.

October 10, 2020: Secretary Willis, refuses to accede to Lorenzetti's demand to hold the EUARS, and vice versa.

October 18, 2020: Ashley Pershing flies to DC to speak with President Putin regarding the Argentinan peace.

October 24, 2020: General Lorenzetti meets with Ashley Pershing. Pershing places a legal pad in front of him, and speaks. "You have many political opponents. Rogue generals in Brazil, a war-torn country side, and war mongering generals who still think Verdez is Generallismo. Write down your 5 worse opponents on that legal pad, and let us 'handle' some of your political enemies"

October 26, 2020: The Last day of fighting as General ALejandro's force in the Amazon, Admiral Velendez' Submarine Task Force, and General Muentes army compound, are bombed and destroyed by Pacific Alliance forces.

October 27, 2020: General Lorenzetti and Secretary Willis are able to reach an agreement regarding the future of South America.

The following areas will be DMZs for Argentina. 200 mile buffer between Argentina an Brazil, along with a restoration of Pre-war borders. The Military protectorate of Uruguay despite urgent pleads at the CN, will not be getting free elections, although Lorenzetti promised more autonomy will given to the region, and that military draft rates will be halved.

The former EUARS will be divided into North and South Zones. The North zone will be under the occupation of Pacific Alliance forces, and attempt to be forged into a new country. The SOuth zone will be annexed by the Argentinan Empire, but with the caveat that only self-defense forces will be allowed in the zone.

The CN will also prosecute Argentinan war criminals for their crimes in Central America, the former EUARS, and Brazil. Lorenzetti also signs an agreement that civilian government will have more say in the Argentinan Empire.

<So Lorenzetti lost several hawkish enemies. The PAcific Alliance has secured pre-war boundaries in Brazil, along with restoring all Central American territory. The city of Bogata is going to become Berlin. Lorenzetti is restoring a democracy to Argentina, and its territories, as per treaty conditions. The Argentinan Empire is finished, all hail the Argentinan Republic. Let's see if Lorenzetti becomes an evil dictator or serve his now democratic country faithfully>

October 31, 2020: Senator Pershing is present when the Panama Canal is handed back over to the United States, and is about to board the jet to take her back to the US, when she hears news of Bernie Sanders assssination

July 21st 2020- Bokor Campaigns Well in Texas, Promising "Texas Sized Jobs and Profits, and Rhode Island Unemployment" with the help of Using Oil to build the New Border Fence. It is here that Bokor makes a CALRAIL Speech Titled "From Sea to Shining Sea". Bokor proposes in addition to Hawaii being Connected to the US by Car, the US would connect via Rail. and have Hawaii connect to Canada and the US.

FYI Pershing made a similarly named speech about CALRAIL in 2018 or 19. You might want to change that name.

[leninsbeard]

FYI Pershing made a similarly named speech about CALRAIL in 2018 or 19. You might want to change that name.


The New name is NARAIL of North American Rail

[Prometheus_2300]

The New name is NARAIL of North American Rail

Ok right idea, but not what I was referring to. Pershing gave a speech titled CALRAIL from sea to shining sea, so that is what you should change or risk being embarassed by Pershing

Also in terms of election. I see this sort of map developing.

With Putin's endorsement, Pershing gets some of the Socialist states. Bokor's position loses him ground in the south. Patrick saves New York, but is handicapped by lack of mudslinging

So to get an electoral win Bokor needs to get Pennsylvania AND Texas. Pershing only needs one for the win.

We still need to do the debates.

October 25, 2020 Domestics: expected Bokor win over Rosenbaum

November 2, 2020 Foreign Policy: expected Pershing win over Bokor.

Many of the Swing States have decided, So its down to Texas and Pennsylvania.

Alaska should still be purple, but its a pain to color purple, so just imagine it is purple

Pershing will hammer hard in Pennsylvania, Rosenbaum will be going towards Texas

Also Leninsbeard. Worst case scenario for Bokor, he goes to Hawaii gets more experience and comes back in 2024. The Yakuza aren't going to be that worried about Bokor 2021 and beyond because of a planned thing I will be doing for the Japanese Diet.

Oh National Polls

Pershing / Rosenbaum: 56% (Putin Endorsement, Foreign policy gamble paying off)
Bokor / Patrick: 44%

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Here is the latest update for the ATL:

January 1st 2020- Paul Bokor decides to give a Quick Speech this day, saying that, "Argentina has thratened our Friendly Neighbors in Central America. Mark my Words Castro, if i'm elected and your not in Prison or in a Grave, then that's where your going. This is an attack against us, so America, Shoulder on and Go with me to Argentina, where Los Persidento will be Muerte'". Also on this day, as Head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Ashley Pershing is deployed to Brussels by President Putin to talk to the EDC. Whereas Secretary Willis stays in Washington to advise Putin. Putin orders all American submarines on high alert.

I also have to disagree with my fathers opinion in the matter that finland should be isolated and produce evrything it needs itself. that might have been possible in the 90's but not in todays world... But for those who think that i don't think my father did anything good. they are WRONG. he did a terific job with building up the infrastructure of this country, railroads, maglev trains, roads, airports, and harbors. he created it now we will have the task of using it and improve it..."

May 16, 2020: Ashley Pershing lands in Yalta, to meet with PM Shkrebneva. Shkrebneva says "I presume you are briefed on the status of the Pacific Alliance's war effort. You are someone who carries the support of not only President Putin, but the entire Pacific Alliance. Castro was a stupid man, bent on conquest, but his successor this..." Pershing listens keenly, but Shkrebneva smiles, "is something Okhrana will keep to itself. What I want to talk to you about is, what is the Pacific Alliance willing to do" <she holds up a Datacard (OTL USB Key)> "for the answer to the Pacific Alliance's most asked question 'What is GHOST?' You have 20 minutes to make your proposal". Pershing crosses her arms, "I predicate any answer I may give under the condition that the information is both accurate and useful, and of course checking the information for authenticity"

Shkrebneva quirks an eyebrow, "No platitudes?" Pershing smirks, "You desire substance more then anything else. The relaxation of the tariffs on Russian plastics, the Pacific Alliance forgiving 350 billion rubles worth of your national debt, and our neutrality regarding Narusegawa and Hongzhi China."

Shkrebneva shakes her head, and places the datacard on the table "No. 18 minutes left "

Pershing sighes, "No on what points?"

Shkrebneva smirks, "Let's see that Stanford educated brain of yours jump through hoops."

Pershing considers for a moment, then a thought strikes her, "Why me? Out of the entire Diplomatic corps of the Pacific Alliance, the Council, and the various foreign secretaries, why me?"

"Perhaps I wanted to meet the next president."

Pershing shakes her head, "No, there's more to it then that. I suspect that you were involved with Argentina and know far more about Argentina's plans and intel then we do."

Shkrebneva adopted a look of mock outrage, "Is the Pacific Alliance accusing me of collaborating with one of its enemies"

Pershing smiled, "Of course not, I am just a senator. Of course I did visit Brussels and Baghdad, on President Putin's behest to gain a coalition"

Shkrebneva frowned "I am quite certain that many parties were angered with you that day."

"It's moot, since Argentina started to occupy Central America, a difficult position, one that you know was unlikely to supply, and difficult to hold." Pershing paused "Will you honestly answer two questions I am about to ask?"

Shkrebneva checks her watch, "16 minutes." See that was all the response she would get, Pershing proceeded.

"What does the Russian Empire want."

"To be the leading economic and military superpower, and be the most powerful nation in Asia."

Pershing nodded, "... and what do you want?"

Shkrebneva simply said, "To win."

Pershing considered for a moment. "I will maintain my previous offer, an offer Russia wants, but not what you want. I propose we play a game of Chess. If I win, you give the Datacard detailing GHOST free of charge. If you win, the deal will stand."

Shkrebneva scoffs "Not much incentive for me."

Pershing smiles, "...Except the satisfaction of knowing that you have beaten the one who outmanuevered your finest diplomats in Brussels and Baghdad"

Shkrebneva considers, then calls for her staff to prepare a board. "Very well Senator Pershing. We have a deal, no digital aids, just our wits and no timelimit. Neither one of us may leave these chairs until checkmate, or one concedes."

The game persisted for 8 hours. At turn 47 it was the end game, and the game was still close. But Pershing stumbled and lost her rook. In 4 more turns Shkrebneva had won. The agreement was reached, and signed by Shkrebneva as PM of the Russian Empire, and Ashley Pershing Appointed Diplomat of the Pacific Alliance to the Russian Empire. Once Pershing leaves with the Datacard, Shkrebneva once more visited the terrace where they played, and is surprised to see two house staff trying to clean Pershing's side of the table. Shkrebneva shoves them asides and sees the following etched into the wood.

47.Qc7+ (or Qd7+)

Shkrebneva utters a storm of profanities, at how Pershing took a dive just for the datacard, and the insult of intentionally losing to her.

<If anyone is wondering about the plausibility of the above match, I would point out this event from our timeline. The Soviet Union, who were years behind us in jet technology, won a shipment of Jet Engines from Rolls Royce, by winning a game of Billiards with Clement Attlee. Oh and if anyone is curious the chess move Pershing used is what Deep Blue would have countered with if Kasparov made a different move in game 2 in 1997>

The news of the day is that Putin will finally give his endorsement.

As Putin takes the post to make his speech, Sanders notices something odd out of the corner of his eye. His suspiscion is confrimed when somebody in the audience shouts, "He's going to kill the President!"

Faster than he has ever moved in his life, Sanders pushes Putin out of the way just as a brilliant blood red laser streaks across the sky. No more than second later, the laser pierces Sanders' heart, blooding spraying the air and covering the the two Russian Americans on stage.

The Secret Service quickly guns down the assassin, but the damage is done.

After five long minutes of shock, quietly talking with Governor Mendelev, and the Secret Service insisting that he leave, President Putin takes the post once more. He looks at his now blood covered speech and begins,

"Comrades, I came here today to tell you who I would give my blessings to. While I have enjoyed all the cooperation of the Republican party and once again thank them for everything, I must remind the nation that I am a Socialist first and formost. Sadly, the man who was going to get my endorsement, one who has supported me for eight years now, is no longer with us." Putin pauses as he begins to tear up. "Governor Mendelev has informed me that he no longer has the heart to continue campaigning. As of now, there will be no Socialist candidate on the ballot. Picking a replacement would insult Bernie. He did not have to take the shot for me. If I had been the one to die, he would have found himself in a much better position to win the election, as President of the United States, backed by a nation of sympathy. No, instead, Bernie made the ultimate sacrifice.

"However, I came here to endorse somebody, and I will now do so. I give my full support to Senator Pershing. Bernie knew how conflicted I am about this, but I now only have one choice. It would be an insult to everyone I have worked with not to do this." Putin turns to leave, but the microphone picks up one last line.

"If you can hear me Bernie... forgive me."

The audience is still to shocked to do anything as Governor Mendelev and the Secret Service escort President Putin, now sobbing beyond control, away.

august 1st 2022 scandinavian republic begins a project of restoring the infrastructure of the country wich have been neglected for the last decades as the governments had focused mostly on warfare and ethnic cleansing. at the same time the senate presents the new constiution and schedules the presidential elections for 5th of november


november 5th 2022 president volger is elected with 50.09% on the 2nd round.
he pledges to restore the economy and infrastructure of the republic to the high levels it was in the 70s and 80s he also pledges on building an alliance between finland and scandinavia.

december 10th 2022 energia-yhtiöt ( to remember the names of them all is too tough for me :( ) opens a car manufacturing plant in gefle,scandinavia.


january 1st 2023 king väinö III of finland and president volger of scandinavia meet in the fortress of Suomenlinna. and the "fenno-scandi trade and research union" is formed.

Just a note on future maps, Canada reannexed Nunavut due to the threat of Ghost letting Argentina slip right past everyone and invade through that route. Considering Nunavut has less than 30,000 people in it and the war was occupying the world's attention, Canada probably will get away with it... for now.

Also, on the President list, we seem to be missing President #40. It jumps from 39 to 41.

Also on this day, Jim Bunning Jr signs the Largest Contract in MLB history with a 4 Year Contract worth $30.2 Million a Year for the New York Yankees. Averaging 30.3 Wins Per Season, Bunning is Already Approaching the 300 Win Mark at 28 with 288. With 2,800 K's in his Belt, a Record Low 1.17 ERA for his Career, it is expected that by 2030, the 515 Wins by Cy Young will be Finally broken. Bunning also delivers a devastating 100 MPH Spitball and a 95 MPH Knuckler.
This is not possible. To get those kind of career numbers, he would have had to been pitching in the MLB since he was sixteen. Not even Tim Lincecum, a two-time National League Cy Young winner has those numbers. In a 162-game season, he would have to win 30 of his 32 decisions, providing he has no no decisions. And 2,800 K's? He's really striking out a thousand batters a season? Even if he faces the minimum in all of his thirty starts, pitches thirty perfect games in a season, he will only strike out 864 batters a season, given a five-man rotation. Theoretically, 30 perfect games a season is possible, but you'd have better odds winning the Mega Millions jackpot. As for the spitball: Rule 8.02 of the Major League Baseball Rulebook states:

8.02
The pitcher shall not—

(a) (1) Bring his pitching hand in contact with his mouth or lips while in the 18 foot
circle surrounding the pitching rubber. EXCEPTION: Provided it is agreed to
by both managers, the umpire prior to the start of a game played in cold
weather, may permit the pitcher to blow on his hand.
PENALTY: For violation of this part of this rule the umpires shall immediately call
a ball. However, if the pitch is made and a batter reaches first base on a hit, an error,
a hit batsman or otherwise, and no other runner is put out before advancing at least
one base, the play shall proceed without reference to the violation. Repeated
offenders shall be subject to a fine by the league president.
(2) expectorate on the ball, either hand or his glove;
(3) rub the ball on his glove, person or clothing;
(4) apply a foreign substance of any kind to the ball;
(5) deface the ball in any manner; or
(6) deliver a ball altered in a manner prescribed by Rule 8.02(a)(2) through (5) or
what is called the "shine" ball, "spit" ball, "mud" ball or "emery" ball. The
pitcher is allowed to rub the ball between his bare hands.
PENALTY: For violation of any part of Rules 8.02 (a)(2) through (6):
Rule 8.02
(a) The pitcher shall be ejected immediately from the game and shall be
suspended automatically. In National Association Leagues, the
automatic suspension shall be for 10 games.
(b) If a play follows the violation called by the umpire, the manager of the
team at bat may advise the umpire-in-chief that he elects to accept the
play. Such election shall be made immediately at the end of the play.
However, if the batter reaches first base on a hit, an error, a base on balls,
a hit batsman, or otherwise, and no other runner is put out before
advancing at least one base, the play shall proceed without reference to
the violation.
(c) Even though the team at bat elects to take the play, the violation shall be
recognized and the penalties in subsection (a) will still be in effect.
(d) If the manager of the team at bat does not elect to accept the play, the
umpire-in-chief shall call an automatic ball and, if there are any runners
on base, a balk.
(e) The umpire shall be sole judge on whether any portion of this rule has
been violated.
Rules 8.02(a)(2) through 8.02(a)(6) Comment: If a pitcher violates either Rule 8.02(a)(2) or
Rule 8.02(a)(3) and, in the judgment of the umpire, the pitcher did not intend, by his act, to alter the
characteristics of a pitched ball, then the umpire may, in his discretion, warn the pitcher in lieu of
applying the penalty set forth for violations of Rules 8.02(a)(2) through 8.02(a)(6). If the pitcher
persists in violating either of those Rules, however, the umpire should then apply the penalty.
Rule 8.02(a) Comment: If at any time the ball hits the rosin bag it is in play. In the case of rain or
wet field, the umpire may instruct the pitcher to carry the rosin bag in his hip pocket. A pitcher may use
the rosin bag for the purpose of applying rosin to his bare hand or hands. Neither the pitcher nor any
other player shall dust the ball with the rosin bag; neither shall the pitcher nor any other player be
permitted to apply rosin from the bag to his glove or dust any part of his uniform with the rosin bag.
(b) Have on his person, or in his possession, any foreign substance. For such infraction
of this section (b) the penalty shall be immediate ejection from the game. In
addition, the pitcher shall be suspended automatically. In National Association
Leagues, the automatic suspension shall be for 10 games.



A 95-mph knuckler is possible, but you're defeating the purpose of a knuckleball, which is supposed to dance around like a butterfly. The effectiveness of a knuckleball is in it's unpredictable movement, which you cannot get when you're trying to throw it at 95. I can buy a 95-mph sinker, that's Fausto Carmona's main pitch, but a 95-mph knuckler? Forget it.
My sources: Played baseball for twelve years myself, my dad played baseball in high school and was a NCAA Division 1 qualified umpire, and the rulebook of Major League Baseball. My suggestion: Look up CC Sabathia's numbers, or Tim Lincecum's numbers and virtually copy them, as those two are elite pitchers.

November 3, 2020: After much internal debate, the Argentinan Republic agrees to the offered terms. General Lorenzetti, Secretary Willis UK PM Spencer, General Rocha, and the other heads of the PA sign the Treaty of Carcas, offically ending the Great American War (or the War of Southern Aggression as Mexicans will forever call it).

President Putin signs the treaty within hours of its arrival in the U.S. and after he pulls some strings, the entire senate approves the treaty as well.

January 1, 2025: Following the War of America. Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala join the Pacific Alliance. El Salvador decides not to join.

[Ze Kaiser]

What I'm interested to see is how the relationships of individual nations of the PA have been changed by the war. For example, I expect greatly improved ties between Brazil and South Africa because South Africa was Brazil's main ally for the South American front. Also, the U.S. and Canada. Canada contributed nearly a million troops to keep Argentina out of the States when they could have just stayed up in their little icy domain, far away from the war.

Remember, 120 Years of POD's can Steer away those changes. Thanks to Ray Chapman becoming a HOF Shortstop for Da Naps, and Spitballs not Causing any Major Injuries, and Ruth stays as a Pitcher, the following happens.


-3 or 4 Man Rotations with a Closer on Occasion
-10 YEARS instead of 2
- The Aid of Spitballs
- A Bunch of POD's in favor of Pitchers.

Yes, their is Hitting Records the size of Ruthians, but there are also many Ruthian Pitching Records. In addition for Ruth Throwing 40 or so Wins in 27', 30 other men since then have thrown them. 100 Years IS long enough to allow PODS like that to occur.

[leninsbeard]

Also Leninsbeard. Worst case scenario for Bokor, he goes to Hawaii gets more experience and comes back in 2024. The Yakuza aren't going to be that worried about Bokor 2021 and beyond because of a planned thing I will be doing for the Japanese Diet.





Alright Mr Prometheous, You will be awarded 2020 and 2024 with Pershing taking over Pennsylvania. We shall call this the Bokor-Pershing Dynasty, so Pershing will take 2020-2028 while Bokor follws up with his 8 Year Term in 2028. Bokor will spend the 8 Years laying the first Rails and Roads for his Hawaii to US Idea. Although I hope Bokor desn't get Thwarted and dies in 2021, Bokor wouldn't take 2024 and as a result, Pershing flys again. When does the Timeline end by the way?

2035 is when the timeline ends.

Also the engineering for this bridge is impossible what I would recommend is this: An underwater maglev train from Honolulu to Point Reyes, CA.

I would suggest first connecting the islands of Hawaii together via bridges causeways tunnels or what have you. Also tell us what Bokor is doing during this time

November 2, 2020: Ashley Pershing along with Secretary Willis both attend Sanders funeral.

November 5, 2020: Election Day. Ashley Pershing surprised the nation by not only getting a peace in Latin America but also successfully clinching the victory from Bokor. With 304 Electoral Votes, Pershing is the first presidental candidate to win without a House Battle.

Pershing: 57%
Bokor: 40%
Sanders: 3% (Mostly absentee ballots)

Pershing's cabinet is as follows

Sec of State: Bruce Willis
Sec of Defense: Vladimir Putin
Attorney General: <SOMEONE APPROPRIATE, not from Bokor's camp>
Sec of Treasury: Elaine Wyndham (a former investment banker, famous for forecasting the Gates Depression and having her corporation weather the storm)

Except Leninsbeard those PODs were never made so we have to assume thhat the rules of baseball are close to OTL's. I don't know Baseball at all so I don't have anything else to add to this debate.

QFT. Just because it isn't explicitly outlined in the TL, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Ray Chapman still gets beaned, the Naps still become the Indians, and you still have five-man rotations (a three-man starting rotation? Dr. James Andrews is getting VERY rich ITTL, or else they're ruining the sport of baseball by using HGH and steroids). The only PODs I've made regarding baseball was that Willie Mays does not make The Catch in the 1954 World Series and the Tribe become world champions; George Steinbrenner buys the Indians and not the Yankees; and the Tribe wins the 1995 and 1997 World Series.

Hey, let's all be nice here. Anyway, about the Bunning Example, remeber that with Ruth and Chapman, the ball went lively. That was in 1920, and the TL starts in 1910. Speed and Average outweighs Power, which proves an Advantage to men like Ichiro and Mays. I will compromise the Knuckleball and replace it with a 95 MPH Spitball, with the ball flying like a Knuckleball. The 50 Homerun Club in ATL is 70's OTL, so Mac in '98 Hit 50 while Bonds hits 73'. Only Aaron, Bonds, hit 700. Bonds, Aaron, and Dwane Johnson are the only to hit more than 357 HomeRuns, and all 3 of them play to oldness, Aaron slugs 755 over 31 Years , Bonds hitting 712, and Johnson swagging 771. All 3 were aided by their Power Swings, and Field Dimensions. Aaron thanks the Milwaukee County Stadium, Bonds for Tiger Stadium's Comfterable Right Field, and Johnson spending half of his Career in a 250 Right Field. The reason why the Naos are good is because of an awesome pitching dynasty. The 40's and 50's brought no less than Bob Feller, Early Wynn, and Bob Lemon. The 60's and 70's brought Herb Score, Sam McDowell, and Goose Gossage. Nagy, Cone, Wells, and Hoffman gave Cleveland two WS Championships in the 90's. Roids give Lifetime Bans if Caught, and men like Canceso, Giambi and Sosa knows what that felt. Ichiro hits .400, so did Pete Rose, Mays, Gwynn, and many others. Pitchers like Ruth and Ryan dominate. And Ok, I'll bargain with a 4 Man Pitching Staff, with the 4th man being a utility one For example....

January 17th 2024- Bunning Jr., Now at 367 Wins with 3,500 K's and a 1.23 ERA signs a 5 Year deal for $31 Million a Year for the Aloha Warriors. The Pitcher, Age 34 has a Chance at catching up to Young's 515. With any Fourtune, Bunning can crawl to Ryan's 6,508 K's, but he must be careful, because with 3 Other 30 Game Winners that season, Bunning with a 33-2 Record best be Careful, lest Oswald Lester takes the lead in the W's Champions.

june 9th 2023 finnish communist party is officially formed.


(and now i have after little concideration decided that finland chooses their senate each 4 years. january 1st.)


august 16th 2023 the communist party of finland begins forming "work batallions" wich in fact are meant to be the communist partys fighting force incase of a unfavourble turn of events.


october 3rd 2023 the wolf guard completes their investigation and are wery worried when they find many conections between the terrorist groups and drug dealers in finland. immideatly wolfguard begins infiltrating agents to the party to get a clear picture of what is happening.

You are right, Finland was Trotsky's nation at the start of the timeline. Darn it now there is a communist country again after I finally eradicated it from the EUARS. Eager to see how communism goes in Finland again. it didn't do to well the first time in Finland though.

Here's a scary thought, with the rise of anti-corporate sentiment, this could be an ATL, wherein the collapse of the cyberpunl megacorporations leads to the development of the world socialist state....

Here's a scary thought, with the rise of anti-corporate sentiment, this could be an ATL, wherein the collapse of the cyberpunl megacorporations leads to the development of the world socialist state....

That is a truly horrific nightmare. Although oddly I would argue that since Pershing isn't going to get rid of Putin's public options, but have the private sector compete with the public option, that will mitigate it somewhat

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Here are some PODs to show that the world is still moving past the elections of 2020:

February 20th, 2020: Naomi Haberman launches anti-war rally in London, England citing the human rights abuses by the Pacific Alliance (PA)....

April 4th, 2020: Princess Victoria of Wales is assassinated in Brussels, Belgium by an anti-war activist, sparking international outrage....

July 29th, 2020: "Fort e Liberi" claims responsibility for a failed assassination on Pope John XXIV in Rome, Italy...

March 9th, 2021: Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop is excommunicated from the Russian Orthodox Church for his alleged "socialist views"...

September 16th, 2021: Anarchists claim credit for the bombing of a bathroom in the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C.,...

November 15th, 2022: International Third Position (ITP) claims credit for the bombing of the European Defense Community (EDC) conference in Brussels, Belgium....

June 21st, 2023: Russian government officials announce a general crackdown on suspected Caliphate supporters in Kishineff, Russia...

october 1st 2023 chairman of the finnish communist party jhon kekkonen* begins a rally to gain member to the party in the city of tampere


*grandson of urho kekkonen out of timeline president of finland in timeline a blue anti communism suporter who left to newyourk in 20's

october 10th 2023 energia party* begins their campagin "one vote for us. one month of free energy for you" also they begin the campagin "one vote for a strong finland"

*energia party is the political party of the finnish "mega corporation" energia yhtiöt wich controlls majority of finnish industry.


meanwhile the monarchist party begins their campagin "in king we trust!"

as a sidenote the monarchist party automatically recives the vote of each cititzen who does not pay taxes.so they both recive the votes of the wery poorest and those who moved to lappland and those who just dont give a damn and dont pay taxes.

[Mr_ Bondoc]

QFT. Just because it isn't explicitly outlined in the TL, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Ray Chapman still gets beaned, the Naps still become the Indians, and you still have five-man rotations (a three-man starting rotation? Dr. James Andrews is getting VERY rich ITTL, or else they're ruining the sport of baseball by using HGH and steroids). The only PODs I've made regarding baseball was that Willie Mays does not make The Catch in the 1954 World Series and the Tribe become world champions; George Steinbrenner buys the Indians and not the Yankees; and the Tribe wins the 1995 and 1997 World Series. The problem is that unless the matter is specially noted in prior PODs, the assumption is that the ATL falls along lines of OTL. You can certainly create PODs to insure that the changes may have been made in the 2020s to allow for the changes in MLB, but not until then. All PODs prior to 2020 are currently closed at this time....

[mcempires]

here is a few years earlier pod


november 5th 2020 suomiyhtiöt (energia yhtiöt) forms their own police force wich is to deffend the factories and other instalations of the company

the force consists of 500 men armed witch force batons and stun guns.

January 20, 2021: "I Ashley Gwyneth Pershing do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Chief Justice Arthur Winters delivered the oath of office, ending 8 years of Putin's leadership and beginning the Pershing Presidental Administration. In the oval office Pershing has installed 3 portraits, the first of Theodore Roosevelt, the second of Thomas E. Dewey, and the third of Robert F. Kennedy. That evening Pershing wastes no time in organizing a bipartisan luncheon for the ruling coalition, to discuss a legislative agenda.

January 30, 2020: Pershing who had successfully led the senate during the years of Putin and Gates, uses her contacts and friends in Congress to push through the "American Public Infrastructure Enrichment Act of 2020". The bill calls for the expansion of CALRAIL across the nation, with the construction of 3 control centers to keep the traffic flowing. The Western Control Center in Sacramento, The Central Control Center in Omaha, and the Eastern Control Center in Wheeling, Ohio. The bill also allows for private trains, and rail lines to be operated on the network provided they obey the Control Centers. The bill also removes subsidies for the regional airlines encouraging rail lines instead. Soon called the Pershing Mag Rail Act.

<A huge refurbishment of the rails, but private sector can compete on it. The rails aren't solely for national use. The implementation of control centers keeps congestion down, despite the busy rails. Public option exists but private lines can compete. There is no National Freight Line, just a National Passenger line>

February 15, 2021: The Department of Justice, recommends an oveeerhaul of the US Criminal Code, in order to take into account the new crimes of the 21st century, a campaign point that Pershing often brought up and promised to do. This idea would prove to be a problem for Pershing, and would not be passed until the third year of her second term of office.

February 24, 2021: Presidental Order AE35 is signed by President Pershing, ordering the reduction of paperwork by the GSA IRS and other government agencies, and to digitize and make as much of the bureaucracy as possible run on computers and the DATANET. The Massive Computer network known as COLUMBIA is commissioned.

March 12, 2021: Former President Robert F. Kennedy is invited to the White House for a meeting of the former Presidents. Presidents Letterman, Mays, Gates and Putin are also in attendance.

March 25, 2021: Tara Patrick's HICTA commission is ended when documents are released to the Washington Post that Patrick's allegations were usually baseless. Although she eventually beats the corruption charges, Patrick has lost much power. In an interview with The Independent Patrick blames "that b**** in the Oval" for her fall from power. Also on this date President Pershing authorizes the FBI to wiretap the Champlain Crusaders.

April 1, 2021: President Pershing appoints former Astronaut Susan Alexandra Weaver, to America's seat on the Pacific Alliance Space Directive. Pershing gives Weaver two instructions, "Get that elevator built, and no more mistakes in space, otherwise Electra 22 will be the last mission to Mars."

April 15, 2021: The last day, the IRS will require mailed in returns. By 2022, Pershing's Presidental order will have discontinued mail submission of IRS forms.

April 19, 2021: Ashley Pershing, uses her line item veto power to cut a Comprehensive Transit Bill of most of its pork. Most notable is the funding to Hawaii for a "prospective transit link to California". No statement is made from the White House besides the Press Secretary saying, "We have to trim the fat"

<Pershing will be cutting Liberal Pork when politically possible. Like Johnson IOTL, Pershing has a way to corral Congress to doing what she wants. Combined with a Line Item Veto, she may turn into one of the better legislators of the timeline. She also is still nursing a grudge to Bokor, so expect Hawaii to be on the rocks in the federal government until 2022.>

April 21, 2021: Vice President Michhael Rosenbaum is called into break a tie in favor of the President's "Pershing Plan" the primary program, 2021-2026, of the United States for rebuilding and creating a stronger economic foundation for the countries of Central America, following the American War. The primary countries that will be receiving aid are Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, West Panama, and the new country of Columbia del Norte. Similar plans although less effective are put in place by other Pacific Alliance countries.

August 14, 2022: President Pershing is the first head of state to visit the new Prime Minister of Japan, Chiaki Kuriyama, and the new Emperor Fumihito

[leninsbeard]

November 1st 2021- Bokor announces that he will not run for President in 2024, instead focusing on Having to improve on Hawaii. On realistic tones, Hawaii went from a 48th Place in the Economy in 2018 to 12th Place in 2022. Bokor in order to cut costs and become realistic releases "The Hawaii to America Act". An underwater maglev train from Honolulu to Point Reyes, CA and San Francisco will be constructed, going to take 4 Hours to travel to Port Reys. The Plan will be a 100 Lane Rail, costing $28 Million a Lane. Thanks to Construction Perfection, not to Mention Unemployment Workers getting jobs, by the time the 2024 Election is over, 43 Rails have been completed, though none are being used, waiting until the expected Completion in 2028.

November 7th 2021- Bokor has received well received news that the Aloha Warriors were World Series Champions, Repeating against the St.Louis Browns. Bunning Jr. pitches the greatest ever Performance in the History of the World Series. After Throwing Shutouts in Game 1,3,and 6. Bunning Jr. breaks Matty's 1905 Record and Ruth's 1927 Postseason Records by Pitching 6 Innings in Relief through the 15th, before Kevin Durant could Eck out the Winning Run. Bunning single Handidly won all 4 Games. Bokor is said to have been in Tears in celevration from his Box at Aloha Stadium.

No.

Just no.

There is absolutely no reason to build a 100 lane highway from anywhere to anywhere, let alone from Hawaii to CA. Also four hours is actually slower then air travel. This tunnel is completely impractical

Ok here's the deal

To build a 2 rail maglev underwater wide tunnel (akin to the Atlantic Tunnel idea), from Hawaii to Point Reyes would be a megaproject. A megaproject takes the efforts of an entire bloc (like the Pacific Alliance) and takes years to finish. (It's taken the Pacific Alliance nearly 25 years to build the space elevator its current megaproject). This doesn't take into account maintenance, or the fact that anything over a 6 rails isn't needed.

The hypothetical tunnel I mentioned above would take 30 years to build, before it could be used. so 2050 if started right now (unlikely until 2027 at the earliest), and I can tell you Pershing will veto that thing so hard its not even funny and congress would never go for it. The Pacific Alliance will just reject it flat out.

A one hundred lane highway under the pacific is incredibly impractical, and engineering it impossible, and makes no economic sense: Air travel, and sea travel, are much much cheaper if slower.

Construction times

Starting in 2027:

two lane maglev tunnel: 2057
100 lane highway to Point Reyes and SF: Mid 26th century if you are lucky

Cleveland "NAPS!", not Indians.


I am pretty sure a POD in the 1960s named them the Indians not the Naps. Sorry but Indians



October 2, 1954: The Cleveland Indians complete the sweep of the New York Giants, winning the 1954 World Series. Highlights of the Series include Vic Wertz's inside-the-park home run in Game 1 at the Polo Grounds, scoring future Hall-of-Famers Larry Doby and Al Rosen, and Wertz. Wertz's hit barely missed the outstreched glove of Willie Mays and reached the 483-foot wall in center field. Bob Lemon would record the complete game 5-2 win in Game 1.



Yep its the Indians, please doublecheck the previous decades before making a comprehensive list. I think the Giants are mentioned as still being in New York, along with other world series

Since I am bored here they are. Oh I am assuming that the 'Federal League' died out in the 30s or 40s, so we are back to a two league system

October 16th, 1912 - Fred Snodgrass easily catches a flyball in Game 8 of the 1912 World Series. The New York Giants defeat the Boston Red Sox 2 to 1.

April 4th, 1915: To start of the entire baseball season, the Chicago Whales play the 1914 World Series winning Boston Braves. In a tense game, Walter Johnson pitches a 3 hitter while Whales batter Dutch Zwilling gets a 3 run rare out of the ball park home run to win 3-0. The game helps boast Federal League attendance.

October 14th, 1915: The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Boston Red Sox in a close series, claiming the title for the Phillies in there first World Series win.

October 15th, 1916: After a fierce, close season, the National League Pennant Winners, the Brooklyn Robins, are narrowly beaten 4-3 in the 7th game of the World Series by the American League Pennant winners, the Chicago Whales. The win gives the now expanded MLB a source of excitement. The snub starts one of the most heated inter-league rivalries as well.

September 23rd, 1917: The Chicago White Sox lose the American League Pennant to their crosstown rivals, the Chicago Whales. It seems the new team has a shot at a second consecutive World Series win.

October 9th, 1918: The New York Giants defeat the Boston Red Sox in the 1918 World Series.

October 2, 1954: The Cleveland Indians complete the sweep of the New York Giants, winning the 1954 World Series. Highlights of the Series include Vic Wertz's inside-the-park home run in Game 1 at the Polo Grounds, scoring future Hall-of-Famers Larry Doby and Al Rosen, and Wertz. Wertz's hit barely missed the outstreched glove of Willie Mays and reached the 483-foot wall in center field. Bob Lemon would record the complete game 5-2 win in Game 1.

October 22nd, 1975: Mobster Jacob Molinas brags that he has rigged the World Series, after the New York Yankees led by Billy Martin win against the Cincinatti Reds in Game 4, 4-0,....

October 20th, 1982: New York Yankees win the World Series, 6-3, against the Philadelphia Phillies, led by outfielder MVP Reggie Jackson, sparking international attention...

October 17th, 1989: San Francisco Baseball Riots & Quake; San Francisco, California struck by 7.9 earthquake; 174 injured, 12 killed, after baseball fans panic during the World Series in San Francisco, California; Argentina offers "peace-keeping" troops, sparking international controversy...

October 28th, 1989: San Francisco Seals led by Kevin Mitchell, wins the World Series in Game 4, sparking national attention in San Francisco, California...

October 29, 1995: The Cleveland Indians complete a stunning comeback to win the World Series. The Indians recover from being down three games to one to win their first World Series since 1954 in front of a heartbroken Fulton County Stadium crowd. Joey "Albert" Belle is the Series MVP, with his walk-off two-run home run in Game Six and his 3-4 performance in Game Seven that included a home run, a 2-RBI double, and a RBI single.

October 25, 1997: In front of a stunned Fulton County Stadium crowd, the Cleveland Indians beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1 to win the World Series 4 games to 2. Brad Ogea gets the win, and Mark Jackson gets the save. This is the second World Series Championship of the 1990s for the Tribe.

November 7th 2011- The Chicago Whales beat the Chicago Cubs in the World Series. The Two Teams have combined for 15 of the past 108 World Series Championships (White Sox have won 5). The Battle would reach a climax when in Game 2 at Budweiser Stadium (OTL West Side Park, the former home of the Cubs), Knuckleball Specialist Hall of Famer Tim Wakefield of the Whales hits Star Slugger of the Cubs Evan Longoria. Without Longo', the Cubs get sweeped in 5.

March 7th 2012- On This Day, the Greatest Pitcher of the Game, Mr. Jim Bunning Jr, an 18 Year Older signs a 5 Year Deal with the Denver Bears...

October 7th 2013- The New York Yankees win their 30th World Series with the defeat of the Chicago Whales. The Whales led by Ubaldo Jimenez, Josh Johnson, Heath Bell, and Lebron James would lead the league in ERA, K's, SV's, and enough Pitching Stats. But the Yankees would score 5 Runs Lebon's Game 7 Performance to seal the deal foe MVP Derek Jeter...

November 4th 2016- For the 3rd Time in the Decade, the Chicago Whales move to the World Series. Already challenging the New York Yankees as the Most Dominate Franchise of All Time, the would win the Pennant in a Tie-Breaker against the Brooklyn Dodgers, Culminating in Lebron James No-Hitting in Weeghman park via Coin Toss the Powerful Dodgers led by Manny Ramirez, Mark Renyolds, and Adrian Peterson, the Fast Golden Glove Star. The Alaskan Pipelines are already in the World Series by winning 103 Games in the American League, led by Kenneth "Ken" Griffey III, Ken Griffey Jr. (Ken Sr. Was Born 10 Years Earlier), and Vladimir's's Favorite Player, Alexander Overcheckin, considered to be the finest Catcher of All Time, being the 1st player in 22 Years to bat .400 with .412/.603/.893. They Shall Beat... Hiliary and Tara's Home State with the New York Yankees. The Next Day, Prophecie's Were fuffilled....

That's every world Series we mentioned

Apparently the Yankees have won 30 series by 2013, and the Whales and Cubs have 15 between the two of them by 2011. So between 1910 and 2013 I will say that thee Yankees have won 30 series, the Whales 9, and the Cubs 6, and the San Francisco Volts 12.

Thanks and apologies to Leninsbeard. Thanks for the list earlier in this thread, and sorry I have to move things around to have the totals make sense, this mostly involved moving the Yankees, and Volts around

There now all the pennant numbers are correct. We have the Yankees winning 30 pennants, the Volts 12, the Whales 9, and the Cubs 6. 57 World Series have been won by only 4 teams

If anyone wants to figure out the 2 leagues from that list go ahead (I assume any team listed before 1930 changed their name and moved to avoid three team cities (So Brooklyn Robins went somewhere else). So the Philles were originally the Athletics for instance. Also Chicago has 3 teams... I am going to declare that the White Sox disbanded in the 40s after their two other city franchises are succeeding while they didn't)

EDIT: I am that bored...

Oh and no MLB team will ever be in Japan. They have their own leagues and besides a few exhibition games they don't play against American teams. Guantanamo is an American State so no Havanan team.

Is everyone ok with this list? Hopefully I have combined the best of both worlds here. Going for consistency in what has been established mostly

Here are some PODs to show that the world is still moving past the elections of 2020:

February 20th, 2020: Naomi Haberman launches anti-war rally in London, England citing the human rights abuses by the Pacific Alliance (PA)....


What specifically are they rallying against? The American War? or is it something else?

[mcempires]

Actually Kekkonen emigrated to the United States in the 20s and was sterilized following American eugenics, so... yeah no deescendants for Kekkonen


oh man ...that just sucks :( well lets just say then that he is...hmm maby his brothers grandson...that might even be better (i dont know if he had brothers but in those times in finland it would be wery uncommon to have only one child)

[mcempires]

"grandson of urho kekkonens brother Kalevi kekkonen, the low ranking official of the finnish communist party in the 20's and 30's. who moved to america in the 50's to find his brother urho kekkonen who kalevi claimed to owe money to him"

Lots of text.
Thanks Prometheus. IOTL, the then Cleveland Naps were renamed the Indians in 1915. In '95, it was the Indians against the Atlanta Braves. I just took the two World Series appearances made by my hometown team and reversed the outcomes. Now for the blank years, can we assume they went as in OTL? With Boston winning as IOTL in 2004? Of course, it cannot be against the St. Louis Cardinals, but hey, they were only First Loser that year :p. Can we also assume that the spitball ban went down as IOTL? (I think that's the ruling made by Bondoc?) And I hope the Alaska team plays in a dome, because the seasonal storms up there would cause the MLB scheduler to commit hari kari.

Hoping that this works out...

November 1st 2021- Bokor announces that he will not run for President in 2024, instead focusing on Having to improve on Hawaii. On realistic tones, Hawaii went from a 48th Place in the Economy in 2018 to 12th Place in 2022. Bokor in order to cut costs and become realistic releases "The Hawaii to America Act". An underwater maglev train from Honolulu to Point Reyes, CA and San Francisco will be constructed, going to take 4 Hours to travel to Port Reys. Starting in 2035,The Plan will be a Rail, costing $28 Billion and requring the work of of PA Forces and Other Countries. Thanks to Construction Perfection, not to Mention Unemployment Workers getting jobs, by the time the 2065 Year is over, the rail gets passed.

On this day, improvements to Hawaii are specifically stated. Sales for 2021, according to the Hawaii Agricultural Statistics Service, reaches the $2 Billion mark from diversified agriculture, up from $1.4 in 2016. Now becoming a major port of PA forces, the base of Pearl Harbor becomes one of the Largest Ship Porting and Fighter Jet Ports in the World. Despite Tourism leading Hawaii's Economy, many other Small Factors such as Honolulu Tribe Inc., a Video Game Company that contribute $57 Million to Hawaii with hit games such as their long running series of "Pete Rose NFL Football", and "Ken Griffey Jr MLB Baseball" give both the Company and Government Money. Manufacturing allows Jobs and Services, plus a small group of defense. Hawaii due to the American War and beng a War hotbed becomes huge for Bokor's State.

Better but it still won't get passed. The Pacific Alliance Budget has already been set. Once the Space Elevator is done in 2024, that money will be freed up, but put towards Central American reconstruction. In short, your tunnel isn't getting started until 2035. Unfortunately we can never forget the budget, and that is what is killing this project, before it can even get started.

Find a different way to solve unemployment in Hawaii, and how is Hawaii jumping so far economically. It can't just be tourism, what other industry is geetting it so high to outperform whole countries in Europe.

February 25, 2020: UK Prime Minister Spencer and U.S. President Putin order the Outer PA Airlift to help the starving Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Canal Zone area. In perhaps the most infamous move of his Presidency, POTUS Putin sits down on national television and begins reading a long list of Argentine cities. After about five minutes or so, he simply begins to discuss the current state of affairs and assures the American people that America will wither the worst of any war just as it always has.

February 26, 2020: PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva of Russia, calls Castro via Videophone, at the same time as Shkrebneva's Foreign Secretary Leonid Kravchuk, reads a statement to the press.

Kravchuk: Prime Minister Shkrebneva and the Russian Empire condemn the actions of the Argentinan Empire. It's invasion of Central America is in violation with the wishes of those peoples. The Argentinans goal of bring order to the lawless EUARS was noble, but when it threatened the Pacific Alliance, and took over neutral countries, it went from peacekeeper to tyrant. We of the Russian Empire will not associate with warmongering imperialists, and hearby cancel diplomatic relations with the Argentinan Empire. During the videophone conference, Castro screams at Shkrebneva, until the Russian prime minister pounds on her desk "Listen you fat little oaf of a man! You went too far. I told you to only take the EUARS, and now you have caused a grand coalition to be aligned not against you but against me! You are lucky I am not sending warwalkers to destroy you right now! OUR ALLIANCE IS OVER!"

February 27, 2010: Infurated at Russia's reefusal to help, General Castro does something very rash. He appears inebriated in the Tierra del Fuego military center, and sits at the nuclear launch console and begins inserting 27 targets. He is shot in the head by his own subordinate officer, however 22 nukes were authorized to fire, and 6 were disarmed manually by brave technicians giving their lives to save 6 cities. However 16 nukes are launched.

Targets: Washington DC, Panama City, Dallas, Anchorage, San Francisco, Tokyo, New York City, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, New Mecca, Medina, and Baghdad.

Just after launch was unsuccessful, Now General Lorenzetti of the Argentine armed forces calls the leaders of all 4 other blocs and warn them that in his final moment Castro launched 16 missiles against all their blocs. Lorenzetti has the hope of preventing Argentina's destruction and to fight another day following this warning and show that Castro was now dead. The world leaders are aghast, and instantly leave to handle defenses, except PM Shkrebneva who says to the the new leader of Argentina, "If you live that long" and attends to her own defense. The Seraphim system is pushed to its very limit. The two satellites are able to take down 11 missiles. Russian Missile Defense takes down the three targeted at its nation.

"Many times I disagree with my fathers opinions, such as Finland should be built to be a countrywide fortress. i think...finland needs and strong army but maby we should instead of pursuing the impossible goal of having the worlds largest army we should focuse on the skill of the army and the weaponry they use... I also have to disagree with my fathers opinion in the matter that finland should be isolated and produce evrything it needs itself. that might have been possible in the 90's but not in todays world... But for those who think that i don't think my father did anything good. they are WRONG. he did a terific job with building up the infrastructure of this country, railroads, maglev trains, roads, airports, and harbors. he created it now we will have the task of using it and improve it..."

May 15, 2020: Russian PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva calls President Putin. "I have a deal for the Pacific Alliance, but I want to talk to Pershing." when questioned why, PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva responded, "I don't want to face a weak negotiator from your state department"

May 16, 2020: Ashley Pershing lands in Yalta, to meet with PM Shkrebneva. Shkrebneva says "I presume you are briefed on the status of the Pacific Alliance's war effort. You are someone who carries the support of not only President Putin, but the entire Pacific Alliance. Castro was a stupid man, bent on conquest, but his successor this..." Pershing listens keenly, but Shkrebneva smiles, "is something Okhrana will keep to itself. What I want to talk to you about is, what is the Pacific Alliance willing to do" <she holds up a Datacard (OTL USB Key)> "for the answer to the Pacific Alliance's most asked question 'What is GHOST?' You have 20 minutes to make your proposal". Pershing crosses her arms, "I predicate any answer I may give under the condition that the information is both accurate and useful, and of course checking the information for authenticity"

Shkrebneva quirks an eyebrow, "No platitudes?" Pershing smirks, "You desire substance more then anything else. The relaxation of the tariffs on Russian plastics, the Pacific Alliance forgiving 350 billion rubles worth of your national debt, and our neutrality regarding Narusegawa and Hongzhi China."

Shkrebneva shakes her head, and places the datacard on the table "No. 18 minutes left "

Pershing sighes, "No on what points?"

Shkrebneva smirks, "Let's see that Stanford educated brain of yours jump through hoops."

Pershing considers for a moment, then a thought strikes her, "Why me? Out of the entire Diplomatic corps of the Pacific Alliance, the Council, and the various foreign secretaries, why me?"

"Perhaps I wanted to meet the next president."

Pershing shakes her head, "No, there's more to it then that. I suspect that you were involved with Argentina and know far more about Argentina's plans and intel then we do."

Shkrebneva adopted a look of mock outrage, "Is the Pacific Alliance accusing me of collaborating with one of its enemies"

Pershing smiled, "Of course not, I am just a senator. Of course I did visit Brussels and Baghdad, on President Putin's behest to gain a coalition"

Shkrebneva frowned "I am quite certain that many parties were angered with you that day."

"It's moot, since Argentina started to occupy Central America, a difficult position, one that you know was unlikely to supply, and difficult to hold." Pershing paused "Will you honestly answer two questions I am about to ask?"

Shkrebneva checks her watch, "16 minutes." See that was all the response she would get, Pershing proceeded.

"What does the Russian Empire want."

"To be the leading economic and military superpower, and be the most powerful nation in Asia."

Pershing nodded, "... and what do you want?"

Shkrebneva simply said, "To win."

Pershing considered for a moment. "I will maintain my previous offer, an offer Russia wants, but not what you want. I propose we play a game of Chess. If I win, you give the Datacard detailing GHOST free of charge. If you win, the deal will stand."

Shkrebneva scoffs "Not much incentive for me."

Pershing smiles, "...Except the satisfaction of knowing that you have beaten the one who outmanuevered your finest diplomats in Brussels and Baghdad"

Shkrebneva considers, then calls for her staff to prepare a board. "Very well Senator Pershing. We have a deal, no digital aids, just our wits and no timelimit. Neither one of us may leave these chairs until checkmate, or one concedes."

The game persisted for 8 hours. At turn 47 it was the end game, and the game was still close. But Pershing stumbled and lost her rook. In 4 more turns Shkrebneva had won. The agreement was reached, and signed by Shkrebneva as PM of the Russian Empire, and Ashley Pershing Appointed Diplomat of the Pacific Alliance to the Russian Empire. Once Pershing leaves with the Datacard, Shkrebneva once more visited the terrace where they played, and is surprised to see two house staff trying to clean Pershing's side of the table. Shkrebneva shoves them asides and sees the following etched into the wood.

47.Qc7+ (or Qd7+)

Shkrebneva utters a storm of profanities, at how Pershing took a dive just for the datacard, and the insult of intentionally losing to her. On the suborbital ride back to DC Pershing writes in her journal, "I don't like to lose either, but I think I won overall. The Pacific Alliance council won't necessarily like it, but for GHOST they would sell Hokkaido."

In Thomas K. Winthrop's Diplomatic History of the World: 2000-2050 published in 2052, he would write, "What Pershing did was nothing short of remarkable at that Chess game. For the first time since Shkrebneva's rise to power, her goals and the goals of Russia were in opposition."

<If anyone is wondering about the plausibility of the above match, I would point out this event from our timeline. The Soviet Union, who were years behind us in jet technology, won a shipment of Jet Engines from Rolls Royce, by winning a game of Billiards with Clement Attlee. Oh and if anyone is curious the chess move Pershing used is what Deep Blue would have countered with if Kasparov made a different move in game 2 in 1997>

Later she wrote in her journal, "Pershing could walk into a room and get a room full of bickering European and Caliphate idiots to agree, and have them put aside a century of bad blood between them for the Pacific Alliance's good and the perceived benefit of the others. If she was Russian I would have made her my foreign minister on the spot, given her the order of merit, and let her write her own paycheck to have her work that magic at the CN." Also on this day, President Putin and Congress establish the Daft. In his web address to the nation, Putin says "If I could have it any other way, I would not be asking for your help, comrades. Sadly, even with all the aid our allies are giving us, our armed forces are very pressed down there.

The Secret Service quickly guns down the assassin, but the damage is done.

After five long minutes of shock, quietly talking with Governor Mendelev, and the Secret Service insisting that he leave, President Putin takes the post once more. He looks at his now blood covered speech and begins,

"Comrades, I came here today to tell you who I would give my blessings to. While I have enjoyed all the cooperation of the Republican party and once again thank them for everything, I must remind the nation that I am a Socialist first and formost. Sadly, the man who was going to get my endorsement, one who has supported me for eight years now, is no longer with us." Putin pauses as he begins to tear up. "Governor Mendelev has informed me that he no longer has the heart to continue campaigning. As of now, there will be no Socialist candidate on the ballot. Picking a replacement would insult Bernie. He did not have to take the shot for me. If I had been the one to die, he would have found himself in a much better position to win the election, as President of the United States, backed by a nation of sympathy. No, instead, Bernie made the ultimate sacrifice.

"However, I came here to endorse somebody, and I will now do so. I give my full support to Senator Pershing. Bernie knew how conflicted I am about this, but I now only have one choice. It would be an insult to everyone I have worked with not to do this." Putin turns to leave, but the microphone picks up one last line.

"If you can hear me Bernie... forgive me."

The audience is still to shocked to do anything as Governor Mendelev and the Secret Service escort President Putin, now sobbing beyond control, away.

just got this idea. so with all this building and huge population and wars shouldnt oil be gone from earth soon?



IOTL yes you are right, oil will be gone by now. However in 100 years, thanks to an early implementation and abundance of nuclear power, and electric cars in the 1970s on. The only demand for oil is for plastics.

The production of Electricity is mostly by plasma fusion reactors, warwalkers are electric, with some larger japanese models having nuclear reactors in them. Cars are also electricity. Electricity is so cheap that in the United States a flat electric rate is charged.

In short no Oil Apocalypse if ever for this world. Fossil Fuels have only been used for plastics since the mid 60s. As a result the environment is much cleaner, the largest thing is water vapor from plasma reactors, but condensators convert most of that to liquid water anyway, which is used for other non biological purposes.

Anyway I thought I would add the following.

November 11, 2022: In response to the "Quebec Question" PM Jones of Canada and PM David Tobin of Terra Nova meet in secret to discuss their options. Tobin agrees to launch an attack the moment Quebec attacks Ottawa. The possibility of reunification between the two nations comes up, but neither side sees it as likely until Quebec is permanently dealt with.

December 1, 2022: In the face of growing antagonism from Quebec, Canadian PM, Alfred Jones orders all branched of the Canadian military to mobilize along the border.

[Prometheus_2300]

I was kind of wondering when Quebec would come up again so I must ask this question... How well are they doing after the hell they went through in previous decades?


Pretty bad. Trudeau was killed and the army performed a coup. I am assuming that the coup hasn't fallen. The whole country is embarassing for the EDC, (yes more so then their African Colonies and Indochina), and has been trying to cut off support.

Internationally they have been a pariah, and the country in near anarchy between Trudeau's Loyalists, the army, and the ASF. The economy is in ruins. Montreal is still burning since the city wasn't rebuilt with all the chaos. Quebec (the city) is a Trudeau stronghold and probably the largest somewhat intact city in Quebec. The army controls most of the rest of the St. Lawerence. The ASF fights for Montreal, but have huge strongholds in the unsettle areas in the North.

Nobody wants to support the ASF, or the other parts. It must be weird crossing that border, going from some of the most prosperous nations on Earth to one of the most wartorn places

Here is the latest update for the ATL:

August 1, 2020: Tara Patrick prepares a negative ad blitz in response to Rosenbaum's planned visit to New York. Meanwhile Pershing hears rumors that Patrick is preparing a negative ad blitz from her jet over the Caribbean "Well Bokor, who wants to fire first" and calls Whitford her Campaign manager, and telling them to start their own smears on August 10, should Patrick's blitz air. Bokor can't do anything for legislation in other states, he can only propose ideas. You are looking at a minimum of a three month wait before Bokor was able to convince the governor, the state assemblies and the courts actually get something resembling Bokor's ideas through, and after all that those politicians will be scrambling for the credit and drown out Bokor. Bokor's built alliances in New Mexico, but popular support with those laws... not that much. Also on this day, Tara thinks about posting a Negative Ad, but then backs off at the last Moment by Bokor.

August 2nd- The Whole Election Process has Gone to Hell after Paul Bokor Tragically was Killed by a Yakuzan Bullet. A State Funeral is Planned for the 4th. The Nation Mourns

Putin offers condolences, and other Congressmen do. Vice Gov. Bob Saget is in Charge of Hawaii, and thanks to a Book in his Cabinet, Hawaii can have Bokor Polices for the Time Being. When his Posthumous Biography is released called "The Life and Times of a Plumber Governor" in 2035, The Writer Notes that "Although his Policies at First were Controversal, Hawaii is now the Largest Economic State behind Texas, New York, and California. Bokor will be remembered". Tara's VP is now Howards Stern, a Senator from New York.

November 5, 2020: Election Day. Ashley Pershing surprised the nation by not only getting a peace in Latin America but also successfully clinching the victory from Bokor. With 304 Electoral Votes, Pershing is the first presidental candidate to win without a House Battle.

Pershing: 57%

Meanwhile Pershing hears rumors that Patrick is preparing a negative ad blitz from her jet over the Caribbean "Well Bokor, who wants to fire first" and calls Whitford her Campaign manager, and telling them to start their own smears on August 10, should Patrick's blitz air.

August 10, 2024: Pershing's approval rating drops to its lowest point 44% during her first term

November 5, 2026: Elaine Tesla-Bush is elected to the Senate Seat in New York.

June 12, 2027: President Pershing is called by the RNC chairman and told in no uncertain terms that the RNC will not be renominating her for a Third Term.

June 18, 2028: The RNC announces that recently elected Senator Elaine Tesla-Bush receives the Republican nomination for President. Ashley Pershing announces that she will be running as an independent candidate.

June 24, 2028: The Socialists announce that Sarah Heath will be their nominee for President, and Dmitri Mendelev the VP candidate


>>>>>

So who is going to be the Liberal candidates, and now we have a four way election. Pershing's done well but isn't very popular with her own party because of her refusal to allow corporations to run without any restraint, and catering to the labor Unions. Pershing in 2028 very much represents that Trust-busting faction and progressive part of the Republicans. Tesla-Bush on the other hand represents Corporation Invictus.

ELECTION 2028

Tesla-Bush / Rock (R)
Bokor / Tucker (L)
Heath / Mendelev (S)
Pershing / Rosenbaum (I)

What's this I-Hawaii Road thing? If its any sort of road from Hawaii to the mainland its got killed by Pershing and the Pacific Alliance Council. Also 90% of the people like him? Santa Claus couldn't get 90%, I would put it at 72%, which is very popular for politicians. So what's Bokor's Platform this time. It has been 8 years, the political landscape has changed to one of more corporations vs. unions. Pacific Alliance military cooperation. CALRAIL is no longer an issue as its been completed. So what is Bokor's platform this time

Hmm, so the Progressive Era is finally happening... 110 years late.

December 25, 2020: President Putin signs his last piece of legislation into law, "The GI Bill of Rights." The new law provides American soldiers who fought in the Great American War with great amounts of aid to ease back into society. The most notable feature of the law is the fact that Uncle Sam will pay the bill to send hundreds of thousands of young men and women seeking a sold college education.

With the signing of the bill, Putin joins Thomas Jefferson as the only two POTUS's that have never vetoed a bill that got through Congress (Though Putin has used his line item veto, he has still signed every bill into law, thus never fully vetoing any of them).

December 4, 2022: With the blessing of President Pershing, Secretary Putin sends 40,000 American troops to aid Canada.

December 7, 2022: PM Jones officially breaks diplomatic ties with Quebec. He cites that he got the message loud and clear when one of the diplomats was shot at.

December 8, 2022: Another Quebec-Canada border skirmish occurs. Prime Minister Jones stops the Canadian army from moving into Quebec, citing "Even if they are the EDC's problem child, they are still a part of that family. I'd rather not want to start a war with a sensible ally bloc."

December 11, 2022: The EDC contacts Canada with a message; "Should Quebec jump the gun, feel free to fight back. They officially left our bloc not to long ago.

December 15, 2022: 30,000 soliders from the British Third Army arrive to aid Canada.

December 19, 2022: Canadian agents catch wind of an impending Quebec attack. Prime Minister Jones secretly moves the Canadian government to Vancouver and Toronto due to the proximity of Ottawa to Quebec.

December 25, 2022: Quebec attacks Ottawa, but fails to breach the powerful Canadian defense. The attack is replused, and American, British, Canadian, and Terra Novan forces invade Quebec, penterating deep into enemy territory. The Pacific Alliance navies quickly begin a blockade of Quebec

December 26, 2022: General Victor Alexander Rocha of Brazil offers aid to Canada. Prime Minister Jones asks for assistance with the blockade and supplies, which Brazil is more than willing to give.

December 27, 2022: Reports begin flowing in from the battlefront that many of the locals of Quebec are strangely accepting of the PA forces, actually outright welcoming them in certain areas.

(Thus begins the second war of the 2020's. I doubt this one will be as brutual as the Great American War, but it seems that something is going on in Quebec that the world was blind to. Most people rarely welcome foreign invaders.)

April 12, 2027: Secretary Putin secretly meets with Socialists leaders to gather support for the National Minimum Wage and Worker's Protection Act. After invoking the "This is what the great Comrade Debbs would want" card, all the Socialists unite to support the bill.

With perhaps the exception of Micheal Moore, the sagely Socialist figure who is second only to Debbs in terms of reverance, Putin is still prthe leader of the Socialist party, or at very least the moderate majority, which can get its liberal members aboard rather easily.

May 7th, 2024: Thomas "Tommy" Mann leads a rally in Sydney, Australia condemining corporate human rights abuses, calling the Pacific Alliance a "corrupt institution ready to collapse..."


Uh, if the Pacific Alliance is that bad, then I wonder what people think of Agrentina. At least the PA has never outright rounded up 200,000 people and made a sport out of their deaths... or blow a city of 30 million+ people off the face of the map for LOLs.

July 29, 2029: Bowman vs. Tenneessee: The Supreme Court of the United States rules reverses its previous decision on indentured servitude, citing that "New evidence has shown this system has been too greatly abused in recent years. When we first ruled on the issue a year ago, the abuse was well hidden by the advocates of the system. Now, not so much."

It's probably because in Argentina if you were to say that you would be rounded up and shot. Out of the blocs that allow its citizens to complain (so Russia and the Caliphate are out), the EDC would probably be worse then the Pacific Alliance. They still have outright colonies in Africa and Indochina, Pacific Alliance non-council members at least have autonomy and some self rule.

What I think Bondoc is pointing out is that the PA is outright aiding the govt of Brazil (which was under a coup when it joined the PA, and now a one-party Republic) and is securing the areas around the Space Elevator site rather brutally. Most of the Pacific Alliance doesn't notice due to the region being deep in the amazon. The Pacific Alliance is content to ignore the issue, kind of like Darfur or Rwanda, the difference is that its happening in the borders of a PA council member nation.

Also in Japan, which is the economic superpower, has basically merged Zaibatsus and yakuza together, only through the intervention of the Emperor and a popular and cunning politician is the Yakuza having to let go. So corporate corruption is pretty bad there, and not getting better anytime soon. Kuriyama is no Pershing

In terms of Communism ITTL, its been nothing but a failure. Korea, EUARS, Finland, all of them failed miserably, EUARS being the worst. Socialism on the other hand is not seen as badly, but somewhat... untested I guess, but they've been around. Putin has been the paragon of socialism, and Pershing is trying to heed the middle ground and reduce corruption all round, encouraging the private sector to compete with state options.

Try this...

August 10, 2029: Associate Justice Boxleitner's decision in Bowman v. Tennessee is released. He is one of the two justices that switched their votes. In his decision he writes

"The 14th amendment provides equal protection to anyone under the law, and it is the opinion of this court that indentured servitude fundamentally limits the freedom of the servitor, and that although the signatory signed his rights away that action violated the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, and as such the legislation which introduced modern indentured servitude is illegal. The Supreme Court's decision regarding Ricio v. US was as wrong as Plessy v. Ferguson"

Justice Boxleitner also invokes the 13th amendment in his decision against indentured servitude.

<Basically the servitors have to be convicted of crimes before they could be indentured. and that by the 14th amendment, no one can sign their own rights, or force another to give up their rights. Hence thee Corporates will have to push through a constitutional amendment to get indentured servitudes>

Don't worry, the camapign is mainly a lot of "hot-air" by corporate America, similar to the Tea Party movement.... As for the issue of Brazil, consider the following PODs:

I thought it was more of Japan ripping off the Chinese states of raw materials, but Brazil does have its issues as it finds itself suddenly more than Argentina's backyard.

But for those who think that i don't think my father did anything good. they are WRONG. he did a terific job with building up the infrastructure of this country, railroads, maglev trains, roads, airports, and harbors. he created it now we will have the task of using it and improve it..."

May 15, 2020: Russian PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva calls President Putin. "I have a deal for the Pacific Alliance, but I want to talk to Pershing." when questioned why, PM Lyudmila Shkrebneva responded, "I don't want to face a weak negotiator from your state department"

May 16, 2020: Ashley Pershing lands in Yalta, to meet with PM Shkrebneva. Shkrebneva says "I presume you are briefed on the status of the Pacific Alliance's war effort. You are someone who carries the support of not only President Putin, but the entire Pacific Alliance. Castro was a stupid man, bent on conquest, but his successor this..." Pershing listens keenly, but Shkrebneva smiles, "is something Okhrana will keep to itself. What I want to talk to you about is, what is the Pacific Alliance willing to do" <she holds up a Datacard (OTL USB Key)> "for the answer to the Pacific Alliance's most asked question 'What is GHOST?' You have 20 minutes to make your proposal". Pershing crosses her arms, "I predicate any answer I may give under the condition that the information is both accurate and useful, and of course checking the information for authenticity"

Shkrebneva quirks an eyebrow, "No platitudes?" Pershing smirks, "You desire substance more then anything else. The relaxation of the tariffs on Russian plastics, the Pacific Alliance forgiving 350 billion rubles worth of your national debt, and our neutrality regarding Narusegawa and Hongzhi China."

Shkrebneva shakes her head, and places the datacard on the table "No. 18 minutes left "

Pershing sighes, "No on what points?"

Shkrebneva smirks, "Let's see that Stanford educated brain of yours jump through hoops."

Pershing considers for a moment, then a thought strikes her, "Why me? Out of the entire Diplomatic corps of the Pacific Alliance, the Council, and the various foreign secretaries, why me?"

"Perhaps I wanted to meet the next president."

Pershing shakes her head, "No, there's more to it then that. I suspect that you were involved with Argentina and know far more about Argentina's plans and intel then we do."

Shkrebneva adopted a look of mock outrage, "Is the Pacific Alliance accusing me of collaborating with one of its enemies"

Pershing smiled, "Of course not, I am just a senator. Of course I did visit Brussels and Baghdad, on President Putin's behest to gain a coalition"

Shkrebneva frowned "I am quite certain that many parties were angered with you that day."

"It's moot, since Argentina started to occupy Central America, a difficult position, one that you know was unlikely to supply, and difficult to hold." Pershing paused "Will you honestly answer two questions I am about to ask?"

Shkrebneva checks her watch, "16 minutes." See that was all the response she would get, Pershing proceeded.

"What does the Russian Empire want."

"To be the leading economic and military superpower, and be the most powerful nation in Asia."

Pershing nodded, "... and what do you want?"

Shkrebneva simply said, "To win."

Pershing considered for a moment. "I will maintain my previous offer, an offer Russia wants, but not what you want. I propose we play a game of Chess. If I win, you give the Datacard detailing GHOST free of charge. If you win, the deal will stand."

Shkrebneva scoffs "Not much incentive for me."

Pershing smiles, "...Except the satisfaction of knowing that you have beaten the one who outmanuevered your finest diplomats in Brussels and Baghdad"

Shkrebneva considers, then calls for her staff to prepare a board. "Very well Senator Pershing. We have a deal, no digital aids, just our wits and no timelimit. Neither one of us may leave these chairs until checkmate, or one concedes."

The game persisted for 8 hours. At turn 47 it was the end game, and the game was still close. But Pershing stumbled and lost her rook. In 4 more turns Shkrebneva had won. The agreement was reached, and signed by Shkrebneva as PM of the Russian Empire, and Ashley Pershing Appointed Diplomat of the Pacific Alliance to the Russian Empire. Once Pershing leaves with the Datacard, Shkrebneva once more visited the terrace where they played, and is surprised to see two house staff trying to clean Pershing's side of the table. Shkrebneva shoves them asides and sees the following etched into the wood.

47.Qc7+ (or Qd7+)

Shkrebneva utters a storm of profanities, at how Pershing took a dive just for the datacard, and the insult of intentionally losing to her. On the suborbital ride back to DC Pershing writes in her journal, "I don't like to lose either, but I think I won overall. The Pacific Alliance council won't necessarily like it, but for GHOST they would sell Hokkaido."

In Thomas K. Winthrop's Diplomatic History of the World: 2000-2050 published in 2052, he would write, "What Pershing did was nothing short of remarkable at that Chess game. For the first time since Shkrebneva's rise to power, her goals and the goals of Russia were in opposition."

<If anyone is wondering about the plausibility of the above match, I would point out this event from our timeline. The Soviet Union, who were years behind us in jet technology, won a shipment of Jet Engines from Rolls Royce, by winning a game of Billiards with Clement Attlee. Oh and if anyone is curious the chess move Pershing used is what Deep Blue would have countered with if Kasparov made a different move in game 2 in 1997>

Later she wrote in her journal, "Pershing could walk into a room and get a room full of bickering European and Caliphate idiots to agree, and have them put aside a century of bad blood between them for the Pacific Alliance's good and the perceived benefit of the others. If she was Russian I would have made her my foreign minister on the spot, given her the order of merit, and let her write her own paycheck to have her work that magic at the CN."

Also on this day, At a massive Socialist rally in Alaska, Candiate Bernie Sanders, Governor Dimitri Mendelev, and President Putin all gather. The news of the day is that Putin will finally give his endorsement.

As Putin takes the post to make his speech, Sanders notices something odd out of the corner of his eye. His suspiscion is confrimed when somebody in the audience shouts, "He's going to kill the President!"

Faster than he has ever moved in his life, Sanders pushes Putin out of the way just as a brilliant blood red laser streaks across the sky. No more than second later, the laser pierces Sanders' heart, blooding spraying the air and covering the the two Russian Americans on stage.

The Secret Service quickly guns down the assassin, but the damage is done.

After five long minutes of shock, quietly talking with Governor Mendelev, and the Secret Service insisting that he leave, President Putin takes the post once more. He looks at his now blood covered speech and begins,

"Comrades, I came here today to tell you who I would give my blessings to. While I have enjoyed all the cooperation of the Republican party and once again thank them for everything, I must remind the nation that I am a Socialist first and formost. Sadly, the man who was going to get my endorsement, one who has supported me for eight years now, is no longer with us." Putin pauses as he begins to tear up. "Governor Mendelev has informed me that he no longer has the heart to continue campaigning. As of now, there will be no Socialist candidate on the ballot. Picking a replacement would insult Bernie. He did not have to take the shot for me. If I had been the one to die, he would have found himself in a much better position to win the election, as President of the United States, backed by a nation of sympathy. No, instead, Bernie made the ultimate sacrifice.

"However, I came here to endorse somebody, and I will now do so. I give my full support to Senator Pershing. Bernie knew how conflicted I am about this, but I now only have one choice. It would be an insult to everyone I have worked with not to do this." Putin turns to leave, but the microphone picks up one last line.

"If you can hear me Bernie... forgive me."

The audience is still to shocked to do anything as Governor Mendelev and the Secret Service escort President Putin, now sobbing beyond control, away.

<So what are people's basic ideas on what the issues of the 2028 election will be? In my opinion Pershing seems popular if a bit of a Progressive, which angers her own party's base.>

<So what are people's basic ideas on what the issues of the 2028 election will be? In my opinion Pershing seems popular if a bit of a Progressive, which angers her own party's base.>

How about corporations dumping billions into the campaign against Pershing? Just saying, Pershing has sided with the unions, a coporation's natural enemy, a lot. Putin probably had the same issue, though he just fixed holes in the economic system (which made corporations money) and taxed the daylights out of them (so the conserative wingnuts say over a 5% overall increase) more than he aided the unions.

I also think that people are going to be confused who is the true liberal party. Pershing is a Progressive, the Socialists are, well, socialists, and the Liberals are, well, liberals. The Republicans are the only conservative party, so a three-way liberal split might occur while the conservatives just unite behind the Republican party.

I worry that if the Corporations dump money into a non-major party we get another party realignment. However that may be inevitable.
Pershing could probably be seen as the moderate of the Liberals, between Bokor and Heath.

One thing to remember is that the conservatives are hardly united. the Christian Right and corporations are two very separate entities.

Either way rough times are ahead for the Republicans. They can either become Pershing Progressives, or the corporate interest party, they can no longer be both. If Tesla wins, the latter, if Pershing wins the former. Bokor... well I think it will implode into two parties. Pershing leading the Progressives like Cronkite first led the Liberals. Heath, will actually promote unity against those 'dang socialists' and just put off the schism for a few years.

[Prometheus_2300]

Now that I think about it, the Republicans have really shot themselves in the foot by nominating Elaine Tesla-Bush. They would be desperate to avoid splitting the party like the Democrats did.

So

June 18, 2028: The Republican National Convention. One of the most contentious in recent memory. The Corporate base threatens to walk and resurrect the old Capitalist party unless Pershing is somewhat leashed.

After 4 ballots Pershing is unable to achieve the majority, which she had gotten thanks to RFK in 2024. Pershing is given a choice, drop Rosenbaum as Vice President, and have the VP be Elaine Tesla-Bush. After a late night meeting between Secretary Willis, VP Rosenbaum, and Senator Mack, along with a conference call to Secretary Putin, Pershing acquieses famously saying "I will not divide the Party of Lincoln and Dewey over this". President Pershing is renominated for President, with her new running mate Elaine Tesla-Bush.

November 6, 2028: President Pershing puts forward Vice President Rosenbaum to take the United States of America seat on the Pacific Alliance Council. After a tough senate vote, Rosenbaum is selected 56-44.

CANDIDATES FOR 2028

Pershing / Tesla-Bush (R)
Bokor / Tucker (L)
Heath / Mendelev (S)

Yes there is a definite lack of an independent or conservative candidates. Anyone want to make one, and make this election sizzle

Analysis of Candidates

Pershing: Clearly the early frontrunner, her first two terms have gone well, pushing forward progressive legislation, but she has garnered eenemies in her own party by making Putin SecDef, and working with Socialists and others to force through her Progressive Legislation. Switching out running mates appeases the base and saves the party, but forces the Pershing Progressives and corporates to work together.

Bokor: The guy has run twice, once as an independent, and once as a Liberal, and both times he lost. He has done well as Governor of hawaii, but he has been off TV for nearly 12 years now, audiences are starting to forget him, and wonder if he is becoming the 21st Century William Jennings Bryan, running three times and never winning. Bokor needs to adjust his platform to fight a two term Pershing, and satisfy the Liberal Base which means strong Separation of Church and State.

Heath: Former Speaker of the House, one of Putin's proteges as Governor, also worked with Pershing to push through Progressive Legislation. She has Mendelev as VP, another protege of Putin from Alaska. The hardest part for her will be distinguishing herself from Pershing, and to get rid of allegations of the Putin Puppetmaster really running things from behhind the curtains.

The Conservatives: They need a voice... They haven't had one for years

In response the Narusegawa Security Concern asks for membership in the Pacific Alliance, but are refused for several reasons: human rights violations, war crimes, and lack of any central government, as Manchuria has been declared an anarcho-capitalist domain.

November 1, 2026: The countries of Bulgaria, Croatia, and Bosnia join the EDC

[Mr_ Bondoc]

Here are some PODs to show that the admission of the 3 states might have been a mistake:

January 23rd, 2024: Serbian leader Haris Silajdzic announces his opposition to EDC membership for Bosnia and Croatia...

August 29th, 2024: Croatian leaders accuse Bosnian leaders of allowing Caliphate-backed militias into the region....

April 26th, 2025: Rival pro-EDC and pro-Caliphate militias clash in Sarajevo, Bosnia, sparking fears of a Balkan crisis....

June 18th, 2025: anti-Muslim rallies are held in Banja Luka, Bosnia, backed by pro-EDC guerillas...

April 20th, 2026: Sectarian violence erupts in Pripyat, Bosnia as supporters of the EDC and the Caliphate clash in armed insurrection...

October 20th, 2027:Guerilla leader Alija Izetbegovic is backed by Caliphate forces, calling for Bosnian membership in the Caliphate...

May 22nd, 2028: Siege of Sarajevo; Humanitarian disaster as Bosnian Muslim civilians evacuate fighting for Sarajevo....

May 12th, 2029: Brautnac Incident; Mass graves of Bosnian Muslims are uncovered by EDC forces in Brutnac, Bosnia...

[Prometheus_2300]

Yep The Balkans have been really quiet for a long time, it's why I said Bosnia got it. I am assuming that one government faction supports the EDC, another is mostly neutral or pro-Caliphate. I look forward to the whole thing blowing up in the EDC's face.

june 1st 2024 in a private agreement between jhon kekkonen and King Väinö III

so now you ask why did Jhon sign such a deal well frankly if you would get to control a area as large as northern petsamo you propobly wouldn't refuse

(evrything north of nikel) also jhon sees a chance in developing communism further and test out all the possibilities of it.

September 30, 2021: The Pacific Alliance increases its presence in Egypt, a strongly pro-PA country, in response to growing guerrilla presence.

October 16th, 2021: Amr Diab loses an eighth of his men in an ambush to a pro-PA miliant group.

March 21, 2023: Due to his excellence leadership and "making the great Maple Country whole once more," Canadian Prime Minister Jones and his Progressive Canadian party handily win the Canadian elections.

May 23, 2023: Canada purchases an new nuclear submarine fleet from Japan.

June 15, 2023: Prime Minister Jones shoves another bill through Parliament to build up Canada's armed forces. He promises that this one will be the last, but Jones reminds everyone that Argentina is still around, simply licking its wounds and building up its military power again.

August 14, 2023: Canada begins working on modernizing its aging Airship and Airplane fleet. Orders go out across the PA for the latest in those technologies.

October 26, 2023: In response to Canada's determination to pull its own weight, Australia increases its standing army by 150,000. While a minor technological build up does occur, it is nowhere near the levels of the Jones build up.

November 17, 2025: In response to the treatment of Nunavut, Prime Minister Jones sits down to talks with leaders of Nunavut with Finland's own King Väinö III (of all people) as the head mediator.

November 20, 2025: Prime Minister Jones and Nunavut leaders reach an agreement to begin making improvements between Nunavut and the rest of Canada. The specifics boil down to:

-A withdrawal of half of the troops stationed in Nunavut that were "left in place just in case" during the Great American War. Without Ghost, Argentina's chances of a direct attack from the north is very, very low.

-Funds similar to those being used to rebuild Quebec to build. Following many years of self-rule, Nunavut's progression as an entity is a bit lacking due to a lackluster economy.

-Admittance into Canada as a state with full state's rights and full right for the people.

-A formal apology for years of mistreatment of the native population, and a crackdown on politicans responsible for the mistreament.

-More self-rule the other parts of Canada are allowed.

November 22, 2025: Prime Minister Jones and the Canadian government formally apologize for past crimes against the population of Nunavut. Jones acknowledges that the road to better relationships will take many years, but he promises that the day is one where both sides turn over new leaves for a better, brighter future.

June 7th, 2027: Secretary Willis notices his co-worker Secretary Putin grumble in Russian whenever Amr Diab's name is mentioned.

The American media condemns Amr Diab for his uncalled "sexist" attack, pointing out the lack of United States presence amongst Africa in general and the fact that the P.A. human rights abuses are nothing compared to the Caliphate's.

(Again, America is quite a bit less imperialist in TTL. I think the hatred would directed be more towards British Prime Minister Oldman, since Egypt is part of the Commonwealth.).

June 18th, 2027: In retaliation for the Caliphate's attacks on Egypt, the entire Pacific Alliance places a heavy economic embargo and sanctions on the Caliphate. The move is quickly supported by Russia, who steps up its own economic warefare against the Caliphate. Over the course of the last three years of the decade, the Caliphate undergoes a terrible recession on par with the Gates Depression.

November 30th, 2027: Canada and Australia rush troops over to Egypt following an attack against an Egyptian naval base. Order is restored within a month.

December 1, 2027: Argentina annexes Antarctica on the grounds of "those damn penguins are up to something."

January 20, 2028: Russia "test fires" two new missiles that "just accidently" fly into Caliphate land. No one is killed, but an entire mountain is level by the two simple missiles.

January 21, 2028: President Pershing, speaks to the Coalition of Nations calling for a resolution on the Caliphate and their support of guerrilla movements in Egypt.

January 23, 2028: Dubai Troops arrive and fortify the Suez Canal.

January 29, 2028: The Holy Republic of Israel condemns the actions of the Caliphate in Egypt, and prepares to roll out its Stennis Mk 1 Warwalkers

<The Caliphate probably doesn't see the HRI as anything more then an American puppet. The country was established during the Holy War by members of the Crimson Lance, a private military company that sent volunteer soldiers to the Holy Land. RFK never wanted to send American troops, but he couldn't stop the Lancers from going in. Just to give you an idea, David Duke was their first President>

I think that the Caliphate is between a rock and a hard place. They don't want to cause all the blocs to turn against them, as that's the only thing keeping Russia out. Right now its an internal matter of the Caliphate. Will cooler heads prevail, or are we seeing the beginnings of the Second Holy War?

I find it funny that they call Pershing a imperialist whore, but "Tsarina" Shkrebneva of the Russian Empire they don't. They probably have more colorful names for her.

So far the PA has fought one huge war this decade, two other small ones (Quebec and Brazil Civil War), and I really doubt they want another big war this decade. I think they would go for maintaining Egypt, but this sets up nicely for a future confrontation with Russia, especially since Shkrebneva and Pershing get along like Stalin and FDR

[Prometheus_2300]

October 23, 2021: Protestors from the University of Moscow, are blamed for the fire-bombing of the newly rebuilt St. Basils. The Empowerment acts are passed, giving the Prime Minister's offices new powers

March 11, 2023: Following continuing troubles in Central Asia, concentration camps are built for the dissenters.

November 5, 2025: Following continuing disruptions in Armenia and Central Asia, PM Shkrebneva declares a state of Emergency, giving herself emergency powers until the "crises plaguing the Russian Empire are over"

August 13, 2026: PM Shkkrebneva is called Tsarina or Empress in the Russian press. Many other political parties are in complete disarray, or tied to known terrorists, or suffer scandals, or sudden deaths in leadership.

<Shkrebneva has a very good Media man running Russia's PR and media. Shkrebneva enjoys very positive press, and any negative news quietly disappears. Her approval ratings in Russia are probably at 78%. Russia is now a totalitarian state under Shkrebneva.>

january 19th 2020 north of baghdad. the construction of the so called "needle of caliphate" the building is to be the wery symbol of the might of the caliphate.



(well i think i have some kind of disorder as i try to symbolise the might of the nation or the might they try to think they got into structures and cities 0_o )


(also by leveling this building to the ground a war could easily be started but at the same time if done right it could destroy the morale of the caliphate)


just for fun :P

[Mr_ Bondoc]

i could write some stuff about caliphhate if sombody could give me a brief of it Ever the Crusade by John XXIII in the 1970s, the Caliphate nations of the Middle East have been angered over the policies of Western Europe and the Pacific Alliance, especially with the creation of the nations of Judea and Israel. The destruction of Mecca, considered the "Holiest of Holies" by an American terrorist in the 2000s has not helped matters, along with the current series of wars and human rights abuses by the Pacific Alliance.

The reion is less rich than OTL mainly because of the independence from oil. Only those governments backed by hte EDC or the Pacific Alliance have any semblence of secularism. Most are religious fundamentalist states which have killed off the corrupt monarchs that ruled prior to the revolutions.

They are currently exploiting the many Islamic movements within the Russian Empire as a menas to recruit...

Don't forget that ever since the Caliphate has formed that Russia has been antagonizing them and trying to break up the caliphate.

Dubai is pretty solidly in favor of the Pacific Alliance, it even sits on the PA council.

Without Oil their economy isn't great with Dubai and Persia being the most developed countries in the region. Russia gets its petroleum for plastics from Siberia, the PA from Alaska and Canada, and Dubai. The EDC are probably the ones trading with the Caliphate the most

january 9th 2020 a leader of a fanatic group in southern iran Abbud Fawaz declares holy war against the russian opressors. claiming that the misery of the caliphate people is the russians fault.



may 6th 2021 Abbud Fawaz and a group of nearly 600 armed followers rally at the foundations of the "needle of caliphate" saying that the building is not a sign of caliphate victory but surrendering to the capitalist opressors. by this act he gains alot of followers from the ranks of the locals but also many enemies.



june 21st 2021 Abbud and his most fanatic followers travel to northern kazakstan

or then they use norwegian oil?

[Prometheus_2300]

Well the problem is that oil isn't the lynchpin that it is in our world. Russia could just exploit Oil further North in Siberia, or Norway. Russia likes using Kazakh and Uzbeki Oil because its easier to get to. Pipelines and all, and closer to Moscow

June 7, 2024: A joint operation between the PA Occupation Force and the QSDF uncovers a plethora of documents during a raid on a Trudeau-era bunker north of Quebec City. Many of these documents reveal the extent of Trudeau's policies including plans for mass sterilization and "resettlement camps" in Northern Quebec. Those Trudeau Loyalists who survived the raid are arrested to face charges of war crimes.

April 10, 2025: Another operation, this time solely done by the QSDF, captures the ASF leader, David Mulroy. Mulroy and his followers are sent to Montreal to face trial for their crimes along with the Trudeauists.

July 21, 2025: The Montreal Trials begin after more ASF followers and Trudeauists fall into PA custody.

October 8, 2025: A PA tribunal finds a remorseless David Mulroy guilty of war crimes and countless other charges of "crimes against mankind". He is later sentenced to death by hanging.

November 5, 2027: Senator Colin Cheadle announces his intention to run against Pershing for the Republican nomination, already lining up endorsements from many conservative organizations and religious groups.

December 11, 2027: The Iowa Straw Poll. Cheadle does much better than anyone expected against the incumbent President. He comes second behhind Pershing 64% with 25% for himself and 11% for Elaine Tesla-Bush

June 15, 2027: A few days before the Republican National Convention, the ticket is split. The Republicans want to avoid a split that would kill the party, so Pershing gets the renomination. However they are able to force her to drop Rosenbaum from the ticket in exchange for either Cheadle or Tesla-Bush, in effect Pershing chose the corporate interests over the conservatives. Colin Cheadle announces that he will be running as an independent under the newly reforged Conservative Party of America, the Jaguars.

August 21, 2028: Former college roommate of Sarah Heath from the University of Seattle, comes forward that Sarah Heath had a sexual relationship with her in college.

August 21, 2028: Due to the fall of his protege, Secretary Putin almost breaks another window at the White House, but Secretary Willis convinces him to stop before anything does so. Putin becomes nigh-impossible to communicate with for the rest of the day, grumbling only in Russian unless Pershing directly addresses him. He spends most of the day mentally debating about whether to stay quiet about endorsements for the third election in a row. Ultimately, Putin keeps his cool, keeps quiet, and stays as far away from the mess as possible, though he sends one message to his party: "Focus on Congress, comrades. We might as well minimize the damage. Also, I might be endorsing Pershing this year. If Cheadle wins, we will potentially have a fight on our hands."

Oh dear, this will get slammed down immediately with helicopters dropping tear gas and storming the island. Not because of the movement but because of what is on the island. AIM has put the bay in electricblackout.

November 25, 2029: FBI Director Sheen gives AIM 24 hours to vacate the island. Public Favor quickly turns away from AIM when the occupiers of Angel Island shut off the Angel Island Plasma Fusion Station, and the Tesla Broadcast Power Array.

<Guess what parts of those food shipments, blankets and medical supplies are tainted with? What is Shkrebneva planning?

Semtember 27, 2028: Secretary Putin breaks his long silence by giving an interview to TIME magazine. In it, Putin says nothing about Heath, but rather, he chews Cheadle out on his naive remarks about the Great American War.

"Mr. Cheadle claims that he would have kept forcing our boys to the bitter end. That is an ignorant claim. Had we forced our comrades to march to Buenos Aires, we would have lost at least three million men. Argentina was becoming a desperate animal, and desperate animals will do anything to survive. I was informed that they were under the mindset that we were attempting to reduce their country to a nuclear waste land, so they were very much becoming this desperate animal.

"Argentina took about fifty million lives with its "limited war" policies, and they still had plenty of fight in them. What if they simply stopped following what little internation law they were following and blew Nicaragua, Coast Rica, and Panama to fine ashes? How more Medinas and Mexico Cities would there have been? How much longer would that war have taken? How many more Nicaragua Massacre's would there have been? How much more of Brazil would have burned? How much more would have Latin America lost? Eventually, Castro's madmen would have dumped everything in their nuclear arsenal on the United States and the Pacific Alliance.

"Unless every other world power had joined our cause, reducing Argentina to a state where it would never harm us again would have taken years and probably several million lives. It could not have been done without serious consequences. The man in charge now is at least a decent man. We did far more by working with the Argentinans to take down Castro's cult of killers then we would have by reducing their country to fine dust. President Pershing saved potentially half a billion lives with her diplomacy, and we now watch Argentina like a hawk, which the Pacific Alliance as a whole failed to during the 2010s.

"What Mr. Cheadle says is indeed an ignorant dream. Yes, we could have reduced Argentina to nothing, but had we done so, we would be living in an era of chaos that would make the Gates Recession look very nice."

September 28, 2028: Putin's comments are very well received (with the exceptions of the obvious radicals) and help shift the political landscape.

Pershing / Tesla-Bush (R) 45%
Heath / Mendelev (S) 4%
