DBWI: Washington D.C. nuked

This is from BBC.co.uk:

Shocking news from the CSA. The capital of Washington D.C. has been the target of a nuclear missile. 95% of the capital were destroyed in the strike, and the radioactive fallout is spreading towards the east coast of the CSA. Casualities are estimated to be between 500.000 and 2.000.000 people. But only from the direct strike. The fallout might cause far more victims, so experts. The President of the Confederate States, Mike Huckabee and his cabinet members are reported to be alive, but as they are in a secret location, no one can tell where they are.

The Washington strike is the tragic highlight, in the war between the CSA and the EU. The war originally started in 2005, when CS troops attacked the Ottoman Empire. Its European allies, the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire, as well as the other members of the European Union declared war on the CSA shortly after. Great Britain and its commonwealth partner states declared neutrality, which even lasts today.

The are now fears, that this might end in a total nuclear war, as the CSA might launch a retaliation strike against the EU, as the missile was fired from the base in the Normandy. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has condemned the strike, but also pleaded with the states, not to fall into nuclear war, as this might be the end for mankind. Stay tuned for more news on BBC.co.uk

And here is the German version of events, from the english version of the state-television network:

Retaliation!

Finally, our "Wunderwaffe" has unleashed its power on our enemies, the Confederate States of America. Their once so glorious capital of Washington D.C. has been crushed within seconds.

Our chancellor Wolfgang Schäuble has regretted the high amount of civil victims, but has expressed his confidence, that this might bring the end of the war. He also assured, that our anti-missile defenses are ready to take on attempted nuclear strikes from the Confederate States.

On the streets of Europe, people are celebrating the successful strike, and many expressed hopes, that the CSA might now call for peace. But for a peace after Europe's demands.

Let's all pray, that this was the only nuke in this war.
 
The CSA attacking the Ottoman Empire, thats kind of fun, unless the CSA is successor to the USA in international naval affairs, the Dey of Algiers was never overthrown and the N African states are back to their historic depradations.

The use of modern people in such a long ATL is a bit silly, but one might as well overlook it for fun

Whats the literal translation of Wunderwaffe ? Wonderful Fighters ?

Too late.

Predictably, nuking a nuclear power's capitol and having a dickwave about it would be followed by that nation's own nuclear attack. Something like six gigatons of nuclear explosives has mostly depopulated Europe and the Confederacy.

Reports following the carnage indicate that the North American Man Boy Love Association has come to power in the former CSA, while Europe is being run by the equally insane National Socialist German Workers Party. Given the lack of sanity of both organizations, we can safely assume that the world is going to suck for generations to come.
 
The President of Venitian Republic In-Exile declared that all the funds necessary to strike back the germano-europan ignominous attack would be raised by Somali-Venitian National Bank, to honor the involvment of CSA during the 4th Somalian Civil War in benefit of VRIE

The Germans are sending a message to the remaining US forces in Pearl Harbour, live broadcast on a commercial CSA satellite they've hacked. They're feeding it to the rest of the world too... The Confederate American Telecommunications Satellite (CATS) has world-wide range thanks to other satellites.

Wait, I'm hearing the CSS Independance, the flagship carrier, is having trouble... the Confederates are responding... they sound panicked. The engineering crew especially...

Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What?
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you.
CATS: How are you gentlemen?
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say?
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.

And then the CATS signal sent maniacal laughter... I pray for their souls...
 
I think so, Petike, but where are we going to find that many midgets wearing overalls?

I'm more concerned about how on Earth will we prevent the Holy Royal People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Wales from launching it's ICBMs on... Wolwerhampton ! :eek: :(

(OOC : :rolleyes: ;))
 
President Dick Cheney of the CSA is safe in his secret location. There is no truth to rumor he has suffered his ninth heart attack--nor that President Cheney's human heart was removed and replaced with the heart of a Komodo Dragon.:)

the People's Republic of Canada has managed to escape by fashioning a rather large kayak of concrete, woodfibre boards and masking tape for all twenty-five thousand or so of its people, so there.
 
OOC: okay so germany is fighting the CSA, And the USA still exists but is it in the war or not
IC: Hurrah! cost of lives is insignifigant compared to the victory Against the hated Confederacy, May they know that if they lay down their arms and surrender they will not be harmed and to my brothers at home and abroad, FOR THE FATHERLAND!
 
Pope John Paul III (a.k.a. Anthony Olubumni Okogie, Nigeria) was in Madrid when Washington D.C. was bombed. In an impassioned speech in Paris, the papal leader called upon both sides of the conflict to come to Geneva, Switzerland for peace talks. Many point to the Pope's active condemnation of the CSA's "seaparate but equal policies" and his calls for the release of Martin Luther King Jr. from prison in 2004. While the Pope has also condemned European "secularization" campaign under Richard Dawkins since his election in 2002, and his clarion call for "liberation theology" in the colonial states of the European Union....

PHILADELPHIA- Meanwhile the U.S. government under President Paul Wellstone (D) announced a state of martial law has been declared in the Occupied Territories of Texas. Nationalist guerillas under Carlos "Ray" Norris launched a bombing campaign in Austin and Houston, threatening to blow up the oil pipelines in the territory. For many, this is considered the most deadly period, since the occupation began in 2003.....

From CNN:

Emperor Ferdinand Marcos of the Great Luzon Empire has announced that their nation, and it's fifty-seven terrestrial colonies, three lunar colonies, two solar colonies and five martian holdings, will be neutral regarding the war, citing the fact that both the US and the EU are clearly inferior to the Empire both in the art of war and the shoe-making industry.

Furthermore, the Great Luzon Empress, Imelda Marcos, has stated that none of the Empire's two hundred Galaxy Class interstellar assault carriers, twelve million Variable Space Armors, nor any other military assets for that matter, will be used to massacre the USA or EU, as long as they do not show any signs of aggression towards the Empire.

It should be noted that the Great Luzon Imperial Spacy was the one responsible for single-handedly protecting the world from the Xakorkitianus Invasions of 1957 and 1981.
I hope the two sides keep away from the East. Or else, we're screwed, or worse, glassed to oblivion. :(
