World War IV breaks out as CER launches invasion of the USA!!!
World War IV has started, and it started with the CER, specifically, the massive, 1.6 million strong Joint Communist Force trying to invade and conquer the USA, no doubt part of the World Communist Revolution. The WNN is classifying this as World War IV for the time being, as we are considering the horrific events of 17/62 to be World War III. With this monumentous invasion, we are going to break this article down in some different parts, telling you first what happened initially, how it started, where it started from, how the fighting progressed, how things are currently, casualties, and, finally, the effect upon American Citizens.
How it all started
The timing of the invasion was bad, or good, depending on how one looks at it. The USA, when the invasion occurred, was preparing to deploy large amounts of her forces to Africa, to help her friend the Republic of South Africa fight against the African Union, and Nigeria in particular. So most of the US and their allies military was training, in high states of readiness, and preparing to leave when the first blows in this invasion happened. The Russians for some time had been training some of their massive JCF in Mexico, ostenibly to protect Belize and other nations in Central America from "American Agression". We now know this to be false, they had part of their army there to invade the USA with. The Russians did not ever have total surprise on their side, in fact, we now know that the CIA was heavily suspecting that something was going down, seeing that Russian forces were all training eerily close to the USA. That being said, nobody expected the Russians to do something like this, to actually invade the USA. It definitely is a very gutsy plan. The American Generals were worried about the attqack, when they heard of it, but they figured that they would be fine with the massive numbers of troops that they had that were well-trained, and ready to go and kick some ass in Africa.
The first strike
The first strike actually came when Russian agents in the USA detonated bombs, rendering most of the USA's Nuclear Power Plants useless. They have not been destroyed, just damaged. Clearly, the Russians didn't want to set off any nuclear-type explosions. Then came the bombing runs. The hundreds of planes in the JCF started a massive series of bombing runs within the USA, supported by hundreds of fighter planes. Of course the USA then figured out what was happened, and sent their planes up to stop it, and, in some cases, they did, but in others, the sheer volume of Russian planes was simply too great. Those on the ground could only try to run as the bombs feel and the American Fighters desperately and bravely tried to fend off this first-ever attack against their homeland. The bombing runs by the Russians were effective, but not as much as the Russians had hoped for. The Americans managed to shoot and otherwise bring down large numbers of Russian planes. Unfortunately for the Americans, the Russian planes were full of not just conventional bombs, but also biological bombs, carrying the deadly mousepox, and Anthrax, which they dropped on American troop concentrations, which was very, very effective. This new Mousepox is a truly deadly killer, it is a mutated form of mousepox, which means that it has worse symptoms then Smallpox, and kills faster, quicker, and far deadlier. The Russians sent dozs of missiles loaded with mousepox on MRVs (Multiple Warheads) to have the greatest effect. Hundreds of thousands of American soldiers died in their barracks, at the hands of this deadly, unstoppable virus. The regular Smallpox cure does not work against this, and the only people who have the cure are the Russians and the Indians. These attacks, the largest of their kind in the world, dealt a serious blow to the US Military, and its ability to defend its homeland, and the invasion by the massive JCF has yet to begin. Not just planes were used in this first strike, but also Missiles, and ICBMs. Dozens of these swept down, and striked American Industry, Ports, Harbours, Communications Networks, and the like. These were also effecitve, but less so then the bombing.
The land invasion
After the first strike comes the, well, second strike, and wow, this was quite the strike. This was the army of the JCF, foreign invaders setting foot upon American soil for the first time since the Canadian-British invasion of the USA in 1812. They split up their force, and came from all sides, from the North, East, West, and South, clearly with the idea of crushing the USA in the middle. The Americans were caught mostly surprised, but quickly reacted. Their first step was to arm their citizens with rifles, shotguns, whatever they could, basically, and Americans responded. They rallied to the American Flag, and took up arms in defense of their country, sending their families out of harms way, usually to the interior of the country, and formed Militias to fight against the Russians. The Russians clearly had hoped to overwhlem the Americans all at once, over-run them, take their cities, and then occupy them, and turn them into Communists. That plan went well for the initial bombardment, and worked quite nicely, until American citizens started arming themselves, and getting organized into militias, of sorts. First, the American Navy was about equal to, or better then, the JCF one, and so massive sea battles prevented some of the attacks from taking place on time. The American Navy managed to sink a good number of landing craft, preventing some trops from ever setting foot on American Soil. Not enough landing craft were sunk to make enough of a different, however. Second, the American people rallied to the Flag, and defended their nation. They did not engage in typical warfare, but guerilla warfare in their lands, which they knew well. This type of warfare the Russian troops are not very well equipped to deal with, and so these so-called "American Patriots" are having a quite devastating effect. Nonetheless, the sheer size of the JCF means that they have been able to steamroll their way through the USA, taking a good bit of land. But the USA is still fighting, and is not defeated yet, but is close. With their military mostly gone, and their militias being left to fight, the USA might be a Communist state, and become a puppet, like Australia.
The Current Situation
Currently, as the Map shows, things are looking good for the Russians. They have captured all but parts of the middle of the country. The land that is not shaded is land that they do not have complete control over yet. They do have some troops there, and are advancing their main military there, but they are facing especially large Militia resistance from those areas. With one good final push, they will have that area, and, in turn, the entire of the USA. Inside the territory that the Russians have captured, the American Patriots are conducting Guerilla Warfare, hit and run tactics against the Russians, and, while some of the earlier attacks might have been crude, they are refining the art, and getting more and more effective. American Citizens caught behind Russian lines are being treated very poorly. The KGB has been doing their typical job of terrorizing and suppressing the population, and any riots are put down with brutal force. Americans in Russian control are also, typically, being subjected to 24/7 pro-Communist propaganda. We do know that most Americans hate Communism, but protesting gets them killed. Only the American patriot Movement is having an effect, but Americans are not very skilled at the art of Guerilla warfare, especially against the very well-trained JCF. Overall, the Russians are winning. They have got most troops, and land. Furthermore, there is nobody else in the world, now that the USA is severely ahdnicapped, to rival them in strength. It looks like the CER has won, and Communism will envelop the world. Some American ICBMs have been fired at the CER, at some of their factory complexes, in an apparent "retaliation" strike, but they didn't have that great of an immediate impact, besides destroying some factories.

New anti-Communist Terror Group Formed!
We have reports that a new anti-Communist Terrorist Group has formed, while we do not know their name, or where they are located, we do know that they have probably pulled off their first heist. Earlier this month several banks were robbed in former Switzerland, and a large sum of money was stolen. We are getting reports that this group is claiming responsibility. Very little is know about this group, but more will probably come to light in the days ahead.
Philippines attacks Jamaica!
In a very surprising move, the Philippines has attacked and annexed Jamaica. Fresh from their victory against the Dominican Republic, which is now a Filipino Colony, they set their eyes on Jamaica. Jamaica was initially proving a tougher nut to crack, so to speak, but the Filipinos rapidly overcame their initial challenges. The Jamaican Army was prepared for an invasion by the Communists, so they were relatively repared for this invasion. The Filipinos captured all of the island, sustaining heavy losses, and is facing a strong insurgency from the supporters of the Dictator, who escaped alive. This Insurgency is very destabilizing, and clearly it will need more Filipino troops to put down. Many wonder if the Filipinos have their eye on anywhere else, and many surrounding nations are bracing themselves for a similar invasion. In the Dominican Republic, most of the rioting has calmed down, and life has returned to normal, very similar to what it was before, except that the Filipino army ensured that no guns remain in the hands of civilians, which is being regarded as a very wise move.
(-10,000 Filipino Troops)
North Vietnamese pro-Democracy protests continue
In North Vietnam, the protests and demands for Democracy that had been festering in the South of the country have started to grow, with the Government apparently not reacting at all to these protests, it has not grown to encluding some areas in the Center of the country. If the situation keeps up, we might be looking at a total pro-Democracy coup d'etat in North Vietnam, perhaps joining with South Vietnam to make a unified Democratic Vietnam.
Cease-fire broken, Spanish-UIA fighting continues!
In a shocking series of events, the very shaky cease-fire between Spain and the United Islamic Army was declared, but then was declared broken again in only 2 hours by the UIA! They claim that a Spanish Tank crossed the line, and killed some of their soldiers. This caused the entirety of the UIA to surge forwards in North Africa, and the Middle East, and continue the fighting. The UIA decided to focus more of their attention on the Spanish Middle East this time, and, with great success, "liberated" that from the Spanish. Actually, to put it more precisely, the Spanish forces were overwhelmed by the UIA, and, after suffering massive casualties, gave themselves up, and so the UIA has 60,000 Spanish Prisoners. For the time being, the UIA has not killed them, but is using them as a bartering tool. They are demanding that Spain immediately withdraw from North Africa, and all the 50,000 Soldiers will be released unharmed. If not, then some of those 50,000 will die. More importantly, Spain lost her productive Oil Wells in that area. Spain has enough Oil to not have any economic impacts for the time being, but, in the future, Spain just might run out of Oil, with tragic consequences.
(Spain Casualties: 80,000 Infantry, 30 Tanks, 35 MdlM Tanks, 15 Interceptors, 5 Bombers, 10 Fighters, 11 Banditos; UIA Casualties: 140,000 Volunteers, 70,000 Soviet Trained Infantry, 20,000 Infantry, 40 Elephants, 20 T-64s, 3 Condors, 20 Eagles, 10 Su-24)
Indian Economy recovers, anti-Communist riots put down
In India, the country is continue its rapid transition from a Totalitarian Fascist Dictatorship to Totalitarian Communism. After the 2 and a half years of 24/7 Fascist propaganda, 24/7 Communist propaganda is now being played. Earlier, some were protesting, and rioting against the new Communist Government, but, in true fashion, that was very, very rapidly put down thanks to India troops who came in, summarily shot and buried the protestors in large graves, keeping a few to parade around to should to those who might protest what will happen to them. India has done what China did and created several Special Economic Zones, which have had the effect of boosting the India economy by one level, and given some one-time bonusses as well. Finally, India has made a number of provinces in India into semi-autonomous Regions, which has greately tamped down the cries for independence for those regions. The regions are: Kashmir, Assam, Punjab, Maldives, Manipur and Bengal.
Falkland Islands builds massive steel floating city!
The little nation of the Falkland Islands has accomplished a major feat. They have built a huge city made out of steel that rests on a series of big steel legs that go into the ocean floor. This monstrosity is supposed to be able to flost on the water too, if the legs give out, but nobody really wants to test this. Either way, this is strong enough for people to live on, and build houses and factories, which they have done, and this is giving the Falklands a huge boost to their economy, and industry. They will also have enough room to sufficiently house all their soldiers. Truly, this is a wonderous site to behold, and lots of tourists are coming to the Falklands just to take in this Engineering Feat.
Argentina becomes mostly Communist, Rose Revolution suceeds!
In what many views as a victory for Communism in South America and around the world, the Argentinian Government today has announced a long list of reforms to Argentina that would see the Argentinian Economy revolutionized, and, indeed, the whole Argentinian way of life. Many of these changes will come into place immediately, and these are a direct result of the massive peaceful, nonviolent pro-Communist demonstrations that have been occurring in Argentina, all over the country, for several weeks now. These have been truly huge, with millions taking part, but, not a single person has lost their life, and the Military and piolice have only been there to ensure peace. This is truly a "Rose Revolution", and is an example to the world of how to get things done without massive bloody revolutions. The Government decided to implement these reforms before the election was to be held, and is currently favoured to win the next election.
Sweden starts to invade Denmark, but then stops
In a very bizarre series of events, the Swedish Government announced that they were sending forces to Denmark to "restore order". But, this could not be so, and, indeed, was very perplexing, as Denmark was already in order, and had a Government, and a Military about as powerful as that of Sweden. Furthermore, the very peaceful Swedish people saw it as what it is - an invasion, even though the Government insisting that it was not. So the Swedish people angrily protested this, turning out in the cold, wintry streets in huge numbers. Massive strikes crippled the country until the Government finally agreed to not do it, and withdrew their troops, which had yet to actually invade. Currently, things have settled down, the protests have switched from being against the invasion to wanting the Government to step down. Clearly, people are angry and disappointed in their Government, and demand a reason/resignation from the Government.
Norway invades Denmark!
Norway has done what Sweden was trying to do, invade Denmark, but gone about it a different way. They claimed that the present Government was a rogue one that was torturing fellow Scandinavians, and so it was the duty of Norwegians to go and stop that. This was all well and dandy for the norwegians, but not so much for the Danish. When they saw the Norwegian forces coming, they quickly got ready to fend them off. The Norwegians won the airbattles handily, but land was a different story. The Norwegians tanks helped them push forward, but they are losing lots of men, and Norway is now undefended against attack. The Norwegian attack is beginning to grind to a halt, and clearly needs more men and equipment to keep it going.
(Norway losses: 25,000 Infantry, 40 Tanks, 120 Elephants, 10 Interceptors, 30 Fighters, 50 Eagles, 20 Falcons, 15 Condors, 5 Bombers; Denmark losses: 30,000 Infantry, 100 Tanks, 10 Adnan-E, 35 Elephants, 13 interceptors102 Fighters, 12 Bombers, 10 Eagles, 50 Special)
War in Africa continues with Nigerian Successes
In Africa, the war in Kenya and Tanganyika continued, with Nigeria managing to complete the liberation of Kenya. In Tangayika, Nigeria pushed a little further, but not much. In fact, the fighting seemed kind of one sided, as, after the news that the CER was launching a brutal assault upon the USA reached RSA lines, morale started to break down some, and the will to fight on without the promised USA help. If the situation continues, Nigeria could win against the RSA in Tanganyika AND Kenya, which would be very, very good for Nigeria, and a dangerous precedent for the RSA.
(Nigeria Losses: 30,000 Infantry, 70 Tanks, 80 T-64s, 12 Interceptors, 20 Bombers, 15 Fighters, 100 MiG-21, 30 Tu-22; RSA losses: 20,000 Infantry, 145 Elephants, 90 Cheetahs, 50 Condors, 22 Seagulls, 60 Eagles, 10 Fighters, 2 Bombers)
