OOC: There seems to be a theme on the post-1900 forum, so...here we go.

IC:
BBC Home Service said:
Today at ten past twelve, the United States of America - in defiance of international sanctions - detonated a second H-Bomb in an off-shore test exceptionally close to their maritime border with the Republic of New England. President Blackstone today declared this to be a 'legitimate demonstration of America's right to self-defence against the treacherous warlord states that surround us, and their foreign masters'.

The leaders of the other nations of North America - including the Republic of Greater California, the Dominion of Canada and the Dominion of Newfoundland - have condemned the test, as have wider alliance systems including the British Commonwealth, European Union and the Asia-Pacific Co-Prosperity Alliance. Prime Ministers Cameron and Abe have been particularly vocal in their condemnation of a 'rogue state that refuses to recognise the march of history'.

So. Is this the beginning of another round of sanctions, or the opening shots of a Third North American War?

OOC: This one is in a universe where the US split up in the 20th century - like, for instance, the Second Civil War in Kaiserreich or @Chipperback 's Willa Cather-verse. I've deliberately made the rogue US President a fictional character to avoid things getting too pointed ;)
