Scenario: Balkan Emergency

The Balkan Emergency - known by the Russians as Operation Mojmir, also known as the Balkan Offensive or Balkan Assault to the Western NATO - was a military proxy conflict between the Eurasian Union and NATO, backing the УНА-УНСО, Székely nationalists and the Grey Wolves against Romania - particularly Transylvania - and Croatia, throughout varying degrees of intensity throughout 2026 (although related events begin as early as 1991).

Impact on the American Cold War
On February 3rd, 2025, former-Secretary Buttigieg's, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's and Bernie Sanders supporters’ hopes and dreams are further shattered when the President and recently-elected House Speaker Ocasio-Cortez are assassinated after losing reelection. Although the wise leadership and steady hand of the Haley-Paul ticket had bested the Christian nationalist and establishment-backed Cruz, Pence and Kim campaigns, kept the hounds of war at bay and maintained U.S. preeminence over the continent, in the blink of an eye, it was history. The government is shut down by an ad-hoc international criminal probe into the US government itself – after evidence emerges that Haley's predecessor Biden, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sanders and Defense Secretary Gillibrand (all who appeared to have died of natural causes) were also assassinated by polonium poisoning. A radical sect of Jundallah al-Fatah based out of Tajikistan and the neo-fascist Grey Wolves of the Balkans & former-Ottoman Empire both claim responsibility, but a DOJ investigation launched immediately finds that elements of Wall Street – perhaps even an individual within the administration itself – may have been cooperating with the terrorists... with most of the blame going to Buttigieg and the progressives. Despite the findings of Sanders being deliberately poisoned, the damage to the progressive brand is done. The DOJ reports to the ICC, and the White House and Congress fall under a joint ICC-Interpol investigation, wherein the conclusion is unanimous – within the Security Council – former-Secretaries of State and newly-appointed Acting President and Vice President John Kerry and Hillary Clinton would serve as Interim President until the situation is declared safe to allow the transition of power to resume normally. As Kerry steps up to serve in the interim, for at least for the few months it would take to allow the Federal Government to continue functioning in a normal manner, he immediately seizes absolute power.

Pete Buttigieg inherits a movement of supporters who, having lost a President, an election in 2024 to the Haley and Trump campaigns and Bernie in 2016 to the superdelegates and Wall Street, were utterly defiant and infuriated at having Buttigieg – whom they refuse to recognize as anything else other than President – receiving insult in addition to injury as they watch a coup unfold in Washington, and begin moves to erect an impenetrable resistance effort that would last for many years – and even decades – into the future.



Premier, President and Chairman of the Atlantic State is the new executive position that Kerry creates, essentially for himself. Under the guise of a “failsafe” – should the “New World Order” as he calls it attempt to ‘illegally’ wrest the power of the Presidency from his hands – Kerry - at the behest of Clinton - invokes George W. Bush’s “Presidential Directive 51” and the PATRIOT Act to justify his unification of legislative and judicial powers with the Executive Branch and his assumption of direct command over the Executive Branch law enforcement and the NYPD. To further ‘legitimize’ his cause, he even lays out the territory that would be controlled by his newly-empowered Presidency should the cause for it come into fruition – a ‘non-aligned state zone’ encompassing the territory of the so-called 'Atlantic State' established by Governor Clinton; and in the event that civil unrest hit a breaking point, the entirety of this “Megaregion” could be ‘shut down’ by the Department of Homeland Security, NSA, NYPD and various other paramilitary organizations.

This division on the continent would also spark the low-level Insurgency in the American West perpetuated by secessionist movements spearheaded by the LAPD (which would in time become more of an autonomous domestic terrorist organization than a law enforcement police department exploited by the Russian-backed political entity encompassing the nations of Mexico and Central America that would eventually come to be known as North America). Besides the War in Central America and the Caribbean Crisis, this insurgency would be the main conflict of the American Cold War.

January 2025
Belarusian armor and tanks supporting the ethno-nationalist Wagner Group are spotted by satellite in Zakarpattia and Chernivtsi Oblasts, the northwestern Bulgarian provinces of Vidin, Montana and Vratsa, the easternmost Slovak regions of Prešov and Košice and throughout the Subcarpathian region, fighting alongside the Українська Національна Асамблея-Українська Народна Самооборона, (УНА-УНСО) and involving extensive militant violence against Romanian diaspora. U.S. Intelligence and scout units active in Serbia and the surrounding Balkans confirm that УНА-УНСО and the Belarusians had been utilizing Russian and U.S.-manufactured weapons and equipment, and air drops are confirmed from the aforementioned countries which are revealed to be stoking unrest and instability in Slovakia, Ukraine, Hungary and the Romanian-Hungarian border regions of Transylvania, attempting to incite Hungary into conflict with Romania. Later intel uncovers efforts by Hungary and pan-Latin ultranationalists to recruit Ukrainians and Romanian-Hungarians to their cause, and scapegoat Romania against Hungary, to test the strength and power of the Latin and European people. This is revealed by RECON to be a reaction, mostly on the part of anti-government Ukrainian nationalists, and backlash in response to the Ukrainian government's incompetence and the EU's and NATO's neutrality with regard to Russian aggression against Ukraine in the Sea of Azov - in which Ukraine and the U.S. were rebuked by Germany, the EU and NATO. RECON points out that this was the fault of the U.S. for inflaming tensions between Eurasia and the West, and further goes into the root causes of the Ukrainian Civil War – that the EU went about ousting Yanukovych in the incorrect way, which in turn caused the current polarization between NATO and Russia, threatening humanity with a Third Global Confrontation.

2025–2026 English insurgency
Jul. 2026 – Pact forces launched a final attempt at an all-out assault on British territory. They are met with firm resistance from Scottish Armed Forces and militia movements for the most part, but a fragment of the invading force make it through into Wales where they attempt to set up a forward operating base in the Cambrian foothills, but are quickly pushed back by armed citizens. Most are killed but some are taken as prisoners or escape. By the end of the month, 33.3% of U.S. troops have been recalled to the homeland, and another 50% are put on-call should an international crisis break out. Coincidentally, shortly thereafter, NATO holds a meeting at headquarters in Brussels on the rapidly unfolding situation. The NATO Secretary-General proposes declaring the English rebellion a “Non-Aligned States Zone” while maintaining that the United Kingdom has not fragmented and that the current conflict be recognized as no more than an attempted military coup. The move is put forth, and the United Kingdom is “reestablished” and the resistance is “abolished”. Meanwhile, the Federal Chinese government, with support from NATO and Taiwan, finally repulses the PLA from Shanghai. The CPC government-in-exile surrenders, and thus, the War in South China comes to a halt, just as the English Rebellion nears its conclusion as Westminster assumes a more diplomatic stance with the Pentagon and Holyrood.



The Glaswegian Campaign, despite a crushing defeat, inspired confidence in the resistance against the Indian and Russian–Belarusian Union State forces and the people therein that the fact that nearly half of the British Military… 110,000 of the men and women in uniform to be approximate… were siding with the people, and inspired confidence that the war could be won, and the island of Britain could be a beacon of light, freedom, and unity once again. However, England’s connections through the Ulster Defense Associates and the UVF to Al-Qaeda were uncanny, as it was them the United States government’s CIA and Westminster’s MI6 supposedly organized to fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980’s (According to the Alt-Right) and, allegedly, set up to launch the 9/11 Attacks (although it was really the Pentagon and Wall Street). Working in communion with global financial assets, Interpol, the Bank of International Settlements, and Saudi Royal Family and the House of Bourbon, the Pact enlists the assistance of many Al-Qaeda-related organizations which harass Scottish forces throughout the war, and in addition to this, the many Fundamentalist Islamic terrorist organizations convene with foreign, globalist aid to give birth to a new breed of bioterrorism, a government-engineered nanobot-mutagen form of the so-called “zombie fungus”, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, and Ophiocordyceps sinensis, or the “caterpillar fungus”, both of which they were allegedly working on mutating to conform to a human host since the early 1990s, an alternative media source claims. Thus far they had only gotten the fungus to be able to jump from ants to cattle, deer and elk by 2012, but were making “great gains” in the sector of bioterrorism and biowarfare. Naturally, the governments and the terrorists fought bitterly for control over the species. On the 12th of the month, JaF launched a notable offensive against the Scottish Military in Ulster, when they were successfully repelled by the 14th. They attacked again, with assistance from Union State and volunteer Hungarian military forces.

By August of 2026, the EUSA commanded much of the minority seats, controlling an increase of 49 seats, and the Pharaoh-controlled Interpol and NATO continued to dominate the movement of armed paramilitary forces into Britain. Whilst NATO had virtually no reason to put up a substantial effort to repulse the English incursion, Pharaoh’s England had already scored major victories against British forces, and confidence and English patriotism was at an all-time high. Although by now most of Northern Ireland and the Glasgow metropolitan area had been infiltrated by Union State and Indian military forces, dissent did arise from within the ranks of the Interpol forces throughout April and May, even well into June and July when the EU had practically imploded due to the renegade nature of these radical Interpol, primarily controlled by Moscow and Minsk.

Throughout the second half of 2026 hostilities begin to falter. With the more aggressive, militaristic stance initially taken by Westminster and the Pact’s interests relaxed, Holyrood opens talks with Westminster about reestablishing a United Kingdom of Great Britain and N. Ireland. Little progress is made – for the Gibraltarian Chris Pharaoh had successfully cemented themselves into the annals of history. Meanwhile, the United States Congress votes to remove Kerry and recognize his four-month regime after 21 January 2026 as a foreign occupation of the U.S. Government by the "unrecognized rogue entity" of Texas and that North America was complicit in the secession of Texas and the New York Conflict as the death toll skyrockets from President Kerry’s air campaign targeting families of suspected terrorists in the Middle-East. The onslaught wrought by President Kerry unites major parts of the Arab World and Muslim nations abroad in their bitter hatred of the United States and the west. House Speaker Ocasio-Cortez is recognized as the legitimate 48th President, and a law is passed requiring any future interim presidents being of the same political faction as their predecessor.

2026 Albanian insurgencies
Serbia is the first nation confirmed to the public to be stoking unrest in the Balkans and Caucasus after EU-made equipment was spotted supporting the Wagner Group Insurgency and УНА-УНСО attacks a year earlier were designed instead to incite international uproar against the EU and Croatia. Serbian Army and Russian–Belarusian pro-India forces supported by Indian air forces are able to mount a protracted insurgency on the borders with Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina which later spills over into full-blown ethno-ultranationalist war in Albania, Croatia and Bosnia, the current Albanian-majority Macedonian government backed by the Kremlin utilizing its Yugo-nostalgic connections in Slovenia and throughout Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia to effectively collapse the region into all-out anarchy in a false-flag operation to justify further empowerment of its grip over Western Balkan society and military. By this time, hundreds of Serbian infantry fighting vehicles and missiles aided by Macedonian and Russian hit-and-run air strikes are pounding eastern Croatia and Bosnia into submission as the formerly united state turned against itself, with Croatia following soon after.

Turkish Imperialism (2019–2027)

Turkish–Russian Insurgency in Lebanon and Syria


Shortly before the April 18th offense, Turkey, Belarus and Russia order troop presence in Gaza after falsified reports come out (originating in Egypt) of Interpol claiming Israeli forces were behind a terror attack in North Nicosia and Girne (it was actually the Wagner Group, a Pan–Slavic ultranationalist terror group). Concurrently with the Balkan Emergency, Israeli and Turkish-backed forces stand off along demarcated buffer zones in Shuja'iyyat al-Akrad, al-Qubbah and al-Shati - with skirmishes at first and then erupting into full-blown conflict from early May until mid-July.

The Israeli State collapses into civil war between Israelis assisting Palestine, Israeli Arabs allied with Russia, and Israeli State Loyalists shortly after Russia, Belarus and Turkey orchestrate a Hezbollah coup that topples parts of Southern Israel and replaces them with an Egyptian annex. Tel Aviv and Bethlehem maintain a sanctuary presence in the areas of conflict, assisted via air drops and air strikes by the United States, Arab League and Britain. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Morocco respond with anti-air and missile strikes against a Russian-backed flotilla in the Mediterranean, which is complemented by a Turkish shock-and-awe campaign spearheaded by Turkish Jandarma and SAT teams supported by Turkish and Russian air forces and S-400 missile strikes. The Turks maintain an expansionist presence of varying degrees in the Levant and Middle-East throughout the war using Russia and Belarus as a foil, following the CSTO–Turkish offensive. With Turkey, Belarus and Russia’s attack on Israel, and the Turkmen dug in like a tick in Israel and the West Bank, NATO is stretched thin and kept engaged on multiple fronts simultaneously by Neo-Fascist Turkey, Russia and their Chinese allies.



The Balkan Emergency was formally recognized worldwide by November Third after NATO fell back, delivering parting strikes on IF and Pact forces alike. The dispute is assessed diplomatically between RECON and Brussels at a meeting between the two sides. NATO Supreme Commander Timothy M. Ray accuses IF forces of ‘getting in the way’ and convoluting NATO’s campaign. Eventually ties warm after the IF and NATO (as well as the United States and AS) agrees to set aside differences and focus on their mutual foe: rogue jihadist radical extremists and the Pact – particularly Russia and Latin America. But the event in question that President-elect Buttigieg addresses does not have to do with the Balkan Emergency, it has to do with what else RECON found on their classified mission, which is soon echoed by Luca's announcement of the return of the notoriously-fascist and grotesque Iron Guard. The Argentine-backed Italian ultranationalists now occupying Northern Italy announce an exchange in government structure – into the hands of the Luca Dynasty – and a change of name, the Legion of the Archangel, and – even more terrifying - the establishment of the LA Iron Legion secret police force, which shortly thereafter transforms into an assassin army of covert death squads. The infamy of the unusual morbidity of the originally-Romanian Iron Guard – even for a fascist movement – was well-known throughout World War II. Even the Mussolini faction of Italian Fascists distanced themselves from this “death cult”. Nevertheless, nearly a century later, the repugnant organization had returned, proudly displaying its devoutly murderous ideology which, in conjunction with its radical theocratic Christian martyrdom and its sinister and militaristic application thereof, was compared to a “Taliban on Steroids”.

The legacy of Argentine-backed Francesco and Luciano De Luca and the “Iron Legionnaire State” is one of unparalleled authoritarianism not seen since Putin, in fact – far more so. The Totalitarian suppression of dissent and freedom of speech – not to mention the presence of Iron Legionnaires, coupled with Luca militant expansionism – serves to put the Lucas in the same category as Adolf Hitler by the end of the decade. Although Turkey, Latin America and the Russians stand by their mutual Pacific compatriot, even Madrid and Buenos Aires begin to distance themselves from the increasingly neo-fascist, hyper-nationalist foreign policy and ideology of Chile’s totalitarian and xenophobic president Salazar, whom they even claim several times throughout the next decade that such desires would endanger not only all of Latin America, but all of America and the world as a whole.

Balkan Offensive


On April the 18th, the détente standoff between the NATO-European defense alliance and Axis Forces comes to an end a little over two years later as a Turkish and Russian-Belarusian force invades Eastern Slovakia, Northeastern Hungary and Cluj in Northwestern Romania from the six oblasts in Western Ukraine it occupied at the time, and Argentine–Tunisian air and mechanized units attack Malta and the Azores and NATO air craft attack the Tunisian-occupied South Malta. This date is marked by many historians as the final major armed campaign of WWIII with the rest following a continuation of this same battle. The presence of over 17 active pro-Russian insurgencies across the continent decidedly evens the playing field - with Bosnia, Croatia, England, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Slovakia and even anti-Western Serbia all weary fighting against Russian-backed uprisings in various regions, with Malta potentially the weakest link of them all. The Maltese government quickly surrenders, and Malta is temporarily occupied by Argentine-backed Italian partisans. With the joint-attack by the Union State, Turkey, Tunisia and Argentina (supported materially by Chile, logistically by other Latin American nations and North Korea) upon Mediterranean forces, followed by an intervention into Mainland Greece and the Balkans from the opposite direction of Belarus (which attack from the northeast) and an emboldened Chile's PNCR-backed attack on Central America a few days later – the aforementioned regions would not cease hostilities until the end of the War. French and Italian units head them off in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean. Bombardment continues throughout the rest of the month and into May. In June; French, North American and Italian forces commit a sizable attack in Tunisian Malta thereafter. With a multilateral and intercontinental counterattack, Turkish-Russian forces are knocked back riotously by NATO but are reinforced by Korean and Chinese air support.
