OOC: This basically covers what happened "behind the scenes" following Kitty's forces cancelling the invasion.

IC: It has been a month since the radicalized Cattirian government had attempted to invade the United States. Two (RP) days after the invasion began, the President ordered a nuclear strike on invading forces. Nuclear bases located in ten states within the nation's continental borders were ordered to detonate their nuclear ordinance while in storage or in missile silos. It surprisingly worked, but cost the U.S. thousands of civilian and military casualties. Trident III and Minuteman IV-N (USN variant of the missile) ballistic missiles were launched from Illinois, Monitor and Wyoming classes of battleships, as they were the only anti-flying capitals within the USN's surface division.

The decision to detonate thermonuclear weapons in such close vacinity to population centers such as Las Vegas, Seattle, and Kansas City was controversial to the American public, and received negative backlash. The U.S. House of Representatives then voted on the impeachment of President Church. In a statement to the public before the Senate hearings, the President accepted full responsibility and stated it was the hardest decision he had to make as POTUS. The Supreme Court eventually acquitted the President of any wrongdoing.

The detonation of the nuclear weapon sites have caused large amounts of radiation buildup, making troop deployment across the central and northern Great Plains region impossible until Wednesday at the latest.

OOC Again: Shameless excuse for no US response so far. Will only be able to post at night on weekdays, but fully active on weekends. Tonight I'll unveil plans to build up the military and improve our defense systems since the Chicago Protocol isn't at its finest whatsoever. That way, I'll help make America great again in RP.
