DBWI: Collapse of the USA

Well the Republic of Texas is doing well enough for itself. Though these Yankee illegal immigrants are getting out of control.
 
American leaders were just unable to deal with the sweeping geo-political changes in the Cold War after the Prague Spring quickly spread across the whole Warsaw Pact.

The Soviet Summer simultaneously revitalized the Soviet economy as well as destroyed much of the propaganda impetus for continued Cold War between the former USA and USSR. Hardliners like Nixon and Reagan just couldn't adapt to political and social liberalization in the USSR. The disastrously large military and propaganda budgets and the crippling deficits that they incurred just couldn't stem the tide of (mostly) peaceful Communist expansion in Europe.

After Germany reunified and left NATO, the US found itself in one losing battle after another. The disastrous intervention in Turkey was probably the final straw, and ultimately even massive military force was unable to prevent the Turkish state from joining the Warsaw pact. Bush's disastrous pullout from Turkey and the subsequent communist take over was the last straw to the ailing government. He wouldn't even see the end of his term before the federal government collapsed in December 91.
 
Well I'm mostly safe. Unfortunately, however, here in New Zealand we don't get a lot of internet. The dictatorship is limiting the amount of information we get.

We all thought anything was better than communism, and then we found ourselves with fascism. Britain couldn't stay close to us after the revolution there. Damned commies. Though: Damned fascists.

Normally I'd like to say that we need inteference from the USA. But that's no more, from what I've heard. Rumours are spreading, you should know, that the communists provoked the collapse. I would like to know: What does the USA look like? All our maps are outdated. Chinese patrols through the Tasman Sea have prevented information smugglers from reaching us. At least the USSR hasn't launched any nukes, right? That's one thing we can take comfort in.

OOC: The world doesn't revolve around the US of A :p. (IC: Though it seems we need it to).
