Ukraine Crisis (Scenario: The World's Liferaft)

The Ukraine Crisis was a geopolitical conflict that began on February 1st 2022 when Russian Forces launched a surprise attack in Eastern Ukraine in response to a recent referendum in which the majority of Ukranians voted to join NATO. Although Ukraine's membership had not yet been ratified President Warren said of the crisis "it's time to show it or blow it and stop Putin from medelling in Eastern Europe". Therefore on the 15th of February soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division alongside Ukranian defenders and Polish forces fought a bloody four day battle for Sevastapol during which 56,000 were killed and NATO forced into a retreat. Fearing that Russian Forces would overwhelm Kiev the US launched a massive carpet bombing campaign on Russian positions and unfortunately one of these strikes detonated the warhead of a Russian S-400 MRBM and wiped out the entire surrounding division. Russian generals alerted Moscow believing a nuclear war had broken out and President Putin launched a full retaliatory strike on American and European targets. American, British and French forces followed suit and within 48 hours half the world's population lay dead or dying. Many more would die in the years to come and the world would change forever. ￼
