American assets in Europe. We’ve already placed short orders with our agents on Wall Street. Before Reid completes his remarks, we’ll have dumped all of our remaining dollars and shares in any American companies. We’re also going to announce our oil and natural gas deal with Premier Xing.”
“General Voldodin?”
“Mr. President, our strategic forces will go on Red Banner 2 alert 5 minutes before Reid begins his remarks. Our navy has attack submarines 2 miles outside Norfolk, Pearl Harbor and San Diego. If the USA Navy tries to surge their fleet, we’ll order them to stop, if they refuse we’ll sink one of their ships that will block the channel. Their fleet will be bottled up unable to respond. Once their fleet is bottled up in their ports, we’ll have control of the world’s oceans.”
President Puten smiles saying, “This is our time to take down Brownstone. The entire world will turn on the USA; they will demand Brownstone’s head. Of course, we, the peace loving people of the Russian Federation, will help bring him to justice. The world will see Russia as the ‘good guys.' Since he will certainly be found guilty, in fact, President Reid, and I have spread out enough gold to ensure he will be found guilty no matter what is said inside the courtroom. The Russian Federation will provide military support to Reid’s LSA to bring the murderer to face his sentence. We’ll have control of the world except for China, which we’ll get soon enough. The world’s financial markets are going to blackball the American dollar, which will close America’s markets to China, causing China’s economy to implode, when it does; we’ll be ready to step in. We’ll help them by taking them over.
“Mr. President, won’t President Brownstone respond in kind to each of our actions?”
“General, yes he will, however, he’ll be responding to us versus being able to be proactive to the problems. Just think of the confusion the average American is going to feel when their President is found guilty of murder. At the same time, they will wake up to learn their dollar is worthless. They’ll turn on Brownstone very quickly. They’ll turn on his entire administration. Many will feel sorry for the LSA; they may even request to join the LSA making our task even easier. I suggest we watch Reid’s performance together. I’ll have a few bottles of our best vodka chilled for our celebration.”

Sitting across from me, my best friend and police lieutenant Ron asks, “Brad, are you planning on watching President Reid’s speech tonight?”
“Do I have a choice? Anything he says is carried as real news by the LSA loving press. Even after the country’s break up the press is still on his side. I thought they would have been able to look at the results of both of the countries. I thought they would see whose made progress and who’s going backwards. The press is still the liberal propaganda department it’s been for fifty years. The truth means nothing to them if it debunks what they KNOW to be the truth. They will lie even if the truth helps them. God, I hate all of the so-called talking head experts on TV. None of them can find their own ass.”
“At least Wolf News is back on the air, they got their broadcast license back. They must be driving the LSA crazy.”
“Ron, are you asking to join Kathy and I this evening to watch the announcement?”
“Sure took you long enough to catch on, I assume you’ll be serving snacks and beer?”
“Of course Officer, we wouldn’t want to upset our local police lieutenant would we?”
“Make sure the beer is cold, last night we ran out and had to drink the last can warm, this isn’t the United Kingdom. I don’t like warm beer. Do it again, and I’ll have to arrest you for crimes against mankind for serving warm beer.”
I threw a handful of nuts at him.
“That’s assaulting a police officer.”
We both laugh agreeing to see each other
