Second American Revolution (Putin's Ambition)

The Second Russian Invasion of the U.S.A is an ongoing invasion by the Russian Federation in order to quell the rebellious United States which has become as Putin has described; "very rebellious and not following the accords set up by the Treaty of Cape May. The invasion began on January 1st, 2019 and is ongoing (the live scenario shall go on until June 12th, 2019 if all goes according to plan)

U.S Defiance of Russian peace accords
Since the end of World War III on Christmas Day of 2015, President Ojeda and the U.S have become more defiant toward the stagnant Russian Federation and divided BRICS alliance. This became apparent when the U.S reoccupied the city of Washington D.C in October of 2017 and during the 2018 Chinatown Bombing. With tensions already very high, it all crystallized when a group known as the Arizona Cowboys shot General Vyacheslav Borisov dead. This prompted Russia to prepare a second invasion into the United States.

January
January 1st, 2019: It was a peaceful day in the United States. The New Year's Ball dropped in Times Square and it seemed like another New Years Day. That was until around 10 AM Eastern Standard Time, it was reported that Russian troops were moving soldiers through the Seattle Republic into the West Coast. The Russians reached the outskirts of Olympia and began advancing on the city. By around 6 PM, the Russians moved in and secured all land in the city north of State Avenue North, despite this, the Russians met much resistance within small city streets such as Grass Avenue. Such diversions and guerrilla warfare forced the Russians into the northeastern sector of the city. By the sunset of first day of the New Year, the front reached a stalemate.



January 2nd, 2019: Early in the morning, the American troops made a sneak attack on the Russian troops, this proved somewhat successful as the Russians were pushed out of the suburbs and back into the outskirts of Olympia. Though the Russians were able to make advances elsewhere, in their western campaign, the Russians moved relatively unopposed and were close to reaching Spokane but had to stop advancement due to assaults by local militias and the sunset which was coming soon. The Russians regrouped at Airway Heights after a full day of fighting, and then the sun set.

January 4th, 2019: While January 3rd went by uneventful, January 4th saw Russian reinforcements finally take the city of Olympia. The Washington state government was forced to relocate their capital to Longview, WA. Though the Russians took Olympia, the invading Russian forces were humiliated in Spokane and forced out of the city of Airway Heights by civilian militias. They have now been pushed back to the small farming village of Rearden. The Russians have begun to recruit Native Americans from the nearby Spokane Indian Reservation in an attempt to do a second offensive into Spokane by the end of January, but for now, the front has become defensive for the Russians.



January 5th, 2019: After a humiliating defeat at the Battle of Airway Heights, the Russian forces were able to get assistance from the nearby Spokane Reservation near Rearden to help with defenses and a late January offensive. For the meanwhile, the Airway Heights front has reached a stalemate. After the fall of Olympia, the Americans have been on the defense. Fighting has now spread to the nearby town of Tumwater, just a few miles south of Olympia. Russians have occupied Route 102 and are attempting to block any entrance from occupied Olympia into the city in order to stop pro-American loyalists from fleeing. After the brief occupation of Route 102, the Russian forces began to enter Tumwater through Trosper Road Southwest, the Russians got stuck and were vulnerable as this was the only road into the city. As a result, they were bombarded by local civilian militias, the U.S army, and the Tumwater police force. The Russians did, however, secure the Northern sectors of Tumwater. The day ended with a phone call between Washington Governor Bill Kreml and President Richard Ojeda, discussing the situation in Washington state.

January 6th, 2019: The Russians made progress taking the city of Tumwater. Russians began sending supplies from Olympia down Route 102. Such reinforcements pushed the Americans down all the way to the town center near Miller Street SW. Meanwhile, U.S troops from nearby towns as well as police officers came to reinforce the failing defense by the U.S. In some parts of Tumwater, it was so desperate that even the fire department began spraying their hoses at Russian forces (though this did reportedly kill one Russian soldier who was unfortunate enough to have the water go down the wrong pipe). Though Tumwater has failed for the U.S, the offensive in Rearden proved successful with the U.S troops being able to push the Russians back toward the Northwestern portion of Rearden. The Russians and Spokane Indians plan to fall back even further and to possibly abandon Rearden. The sun set with progress being made by both sides.

January 7th, 2019: It was Orthodox Christmas that day, many of the Russian soldiers did not make advancements in order to celebrate their holiday. The predominantly Protestant American forces did not care for such holidays. The Americans in Tumwater caught the Russians off guard and brutally attacked the Russians who struggled to recovery. The Russians were pushed out of Tumwater and forced back to Olympia. They blew up Route 102 so the Americans could not finish them off. Meanwhile, the off guard Russians were pushed out of the small town of Rearden and forced drastically West. January 7th proved to be a bad day for the Russian troops.

January 8th, 2019: After the defeats yesterday, Russia began sending reinforcements toward Alaska. Russia regained ground in the city of Tumwater being able to reoccupy the Northern sector, the destruction of Route 102 made the reoccupation harder. Meanwhile, things are still not going in favor for the Russians on the Rearden front. The Russians have been pushed back to the town of Mondovi where a defensive line is being drawn.

January 9th, 2019: After the fall of Tumwater, the U.S forces regrouped in the small town of Sunnydale, WA. Bill Kreml finally fled Washington and headed toward Oregon. Russian forces secured the town of Maytown. While the Tumwater front had finally picked up momentum, Russians were still lagging on the failed Spokane offensive, many of the Russians and their Spokane Indian allies were running out of ammo as Pro-U.S rebels such as the Arizona Cowboys still existed behind the enemy lines and were actively sabotaging the supply lines to the Spokane offensive. Meanwhile, Congress has authorized a bigger military budget in order to fight the invasion.

January 10th, 2019: It has been leaked that George W. Bush and President Ojeda were on the phone and have discussed a military alliance. Such has confirmed that the U.S government and Arizona Cowboys are officially working together. It has also been reported that the remaining Russian forces in the Spokane offensive were forced to surrender. It has believed that only a few were taken alive. Such a devastating defeat has angered Putin who has called for "total war" against the United States in a fiery press address. European Premier Donald Trump has called for European neutrality in the war but fears the conflict could spread to Europe if not handled correctly. With the conflict lasting for ten days so far and the conflict being nowhere near resolution, both sides are preparing for a long and brutal fight.

January 12th, 2019: As the 11th went by uneventfully, the 12th saw some fighting within Maytown, the Russians captured 2/3rds of the city. The U.S secured Southern Maytown and are preparing for the next Russian offensive. Putin is still angry about the news of defeat on the Spokane Front which occurred yesterday. Putin has already ordered the deployment of one million more men into the Continental United States.

January 13th, 2019: Since the Russians invaded Maytown, it became evident that the Russians would secure the city. After one day of fighting, Maytown fell quickly. After defeat to defeat, the Spokane front finally stabilized at around the city of St. Andrews. Putin praised the neutralization as "a good attempt at saving face". With such good news coming on both fronts of the Washington state campaign, today was considered an overall positive day for the Russians.

January 14th, 2019: Early before the sun rose, an explosion happened in a quiet neighborhood shop outside of Maytown, though nobody was killed or harmed, this awoke both sides and intense fighting began between the Russians and Americans in the nearby suburbs outside of Maytown. The fighting lasted all day and only began to wind down at around 4 PM of that day. Spokane still remained neutralized but reports came out that many more Russian troops have landed in Anchorage and are heading to reinforce both fronts. Such news has alarmed the U.S who has begun to draft and recruit more soldiers in response.

January 16th, 2019: With Russian reinforcements reaching the front lines, the U.S troops were overwhelmed and forced to retreat down route 6, out of Maytown and have fortified the city of Napavine. It is believed that Napavine is heavily militarized and that many of it's citizens were evacuated to the nearby town of Evaline. Even with Russian reinforcements, the Spokane front remains stagnant and in a seemingly endless stalemate. With such fruitless efforts in Spokane, the Russians have made it an objective to instead focus on capturing the city of Portland in Oregon and to secure important ports on the American West coast. It has also been reported that European volunteers have arrived and will soon be deployed to assist the American forces.



January 19th, 2019: After three days of brutal fighting on the outskirts of Napavine, the heavily damaged Russian forces finally managed to capture the small town of Napavine. When the Russians entered the town square, it was completely abandoned and the American troops were presumed to have retreated south. A few hours later at around 10 PM, it was found out that the American soldiers encircled the Russians at the town of Napavine. The Russians refused to surrender despite being surrounded, after about three hours at 1 AM, Napavine was burned to the ground and no Russians were taken as hostages. Many viewed this gruesome battle as just the beginning of horrific crimes that'll be committed in the future at the war rages on.

January 22nd, 2019: After the horrific events which occurred at Napavine and the continuous stalemate which is occurring on the Spokane front, Putin has ordered an all out assault on the city of Portland, Oregon involving navy, air ambushes, and bombing campaigns. Around noon, the first wave of these bombing raids occurred through Russian airbases in the Seattle Republic. It was estimated that over 300 were injured or killed while government buildings took the blunt of the damage. These campaigns were the first of many more to come in the near future.

January 23rd, 2019: Following the air raids which occurred the previous day, an evacuation of the civilian population zones in Portland has occurred with heavily militarization beginning. Currently, a Russian naval invasion seems unlikely and practically impossible due to Portland being in the Graveyard of the Pacific. Despite this, Portland is still within aerial range which means that Portland can expect to be bombed more in the near future. Russians were pushed back after Napavine and were forced back to Maytown. Putin and the state Duma have passed legislation allowing for an expansion of the current military budget, escalating the war even further.

January 24th, 2019: Early in the morning in the city of Maytown, Russian troops began fortifying expecting the U.S soldiers to retake the city with the goal of holding out into reinforcements from Tumwater reached Maytown. The U.S had other plans, though, rather than an invasion, the U.S conducted an air raid over Maytown which targeted Russian soldiers and estimated to have killed around 200 of the 6,302 soldiers stationed within Maytown. More fighting is expected in the following days.



January 25th, 2019: Russia's stagnant campaign within North America saw Putin reach out to allies. On January 23rd, Xi Jinping traveled to Moscow to discuss possible Chinese entry into the war. This wish may have received a deathblow as reports came out from Beijing that the People's Liberation Army under the command of General Fan Changlong have overthrown the communist party while Xi was in Moscow. With the fronts reaching a stalemate and Russia losing a potential ally, the war effort has become more dire than ever before.

January 27th, 2019: Though China fell and left Russia losing one ally, Brazil and Cuba earlier today announced their entrance into the war. Cuban and Brazilian troops invaded the Bahamas and landed in the Florida keys earlier today at around 4 AM. Putin has hoped that this will startle American forces allowing for a break in the stalemate occurring in the Northwest. Whether this shall happen will be determined tomorrow as Russians plan to finally turn around their humiliation in the stagnant Spokane front.

January 28th, 2019: Cuban and Brazilian troops marched through the Florida Keys relatively unopposed, they eventually secured the land and have begun to march into the Floridan mainland. Meanwhile, the Russian troops in Maytown have been pushed out of the city with brutal force from American troops, taking heavy casualties. This is all while the Spokane front still remains in a massive stalemate, 28 days into the war and it appears that there is no clear victor.

January 30th, 2019: As Putin has ordered, a massive offensive has been carried out in an attempt to reverse the constant Russian defeats on that front. In the early morning of January 30th, a large number of Russian troops rushed the Spokane front along with their Native American allies. After nearly a month of defeat, the Russians gained their first victory on the Spokane front and have recaptured the city of Mondovi. Many see this as the ties of war turning, but the Brazilians are being pushed out of the Florida Keys. The War rages on.

February
February 1st, 2019: With the Chinese mainland no longer supporting them, the ruling Communist government in Hawaii has been overthrown by civilian militias. Rumors have it that Hawaii plans to rejoin the United States, but Putin and the Kremlin are bribing them to stay independent. Spokane fell on that same day, reversing several Russian defeats on the Spokane front throughout the month of January. Maytown still remains in American control while Russia diverts troops.

February 2nd, 2019: Despite Putin's warnings, Hawaii has rejoined the United States as the 51st state. This has angered Putin, who reportedly ordered another bombing campaign over Portland. Unlike the last bombing raid, the city of Portland was prepared this time around. Of the 20 bombers, 17 were shot down and only 14 people were injured from the bombing campaign. Meanwhile, the Cubans and Brazilians have fortified their positions on the Florida Keys and find themselves entrenched.

February 3rd, 2019: After the Superbowl halftime show which saw Billy Joel perform "Sweet Victory" in order to pay tribute to the deceased Stephen Hillenburg, as well as his signature song "We Didn't Start The Fire", President Ojeda made an appearance in a super bowl advertisement proclaiming that Russia has declared "total war" on the United States, and that "we must be prepared for anything" Aside from that, the New Orleans Saints went on to win the Superbowl against the Detroit Lions with a score of 43 to 39. After their victory, the coach of the New Orleans Saints called called Putin a "bald and pissy son-of-a-bitch" on live TV in front of millions of people. Later in the evening, Russians did a raid on Spokane as retaliations for such comments, killing 12 US soldiers in the process. This odd Superbowl message is another example of the invasion taking shape on all forms of American life, including pop culture and pastimes such as the Super Bowl.

February 4th, 2019: After a brief battle, American troops managed to retake the outskirts of Spokane. This has come after a raid done by the Russian troops yesterday in response to controversial comments made at yesterday's Superbowl.

February 9th, 2019: The Russian troops stationed in Vancouver, Washington moved their troops down route 306A into Oregon state. They reached the neighborhood of Kenton in Portland by 6 am on the morning of February 9th. The Russians managed to push the US troops down to North Lombard street, many buildings were destroyed during the intense urban warfare, several civilians were evacuated from Portland a few days prior.US troops managed to keep them contained North of Lombard Street in the Northern sector until sunset.

February 11th, 2019: After snowy weather stalled both Russian and American troops within Kenton, Russian troops advanced through Southern Kenton and made it passed North Lombard Street down through Interstate Avenue and Concord Avenue. The tall buildings on both sides of Interstate Avenue made it hard for Russian troops to see American troops, several American snipers were successful in picking off Russian troops. The Russians successfully captured the Tramcar station farther down on Interstate Avenue and began to use it for transporting supplies in from the Northern sectors of the city. The Russians managed to overwhelm American troops on both avenues and successfully captured the intersection of North Buffalo Street, but the Americans repelled the Russians North after attempting to get through North Buffalo Street. It has also been reported that the Russian troops on the Spokane front along with their Spokane Indian allies have begun moving into Idaho in large numbers, they have already captured the cities of Moscow, Idaho and Lewiston, Idaho.

Idaho governor Hillary Clinton just got off a phone call with President Ojeda and Secretary of Defense Tammy Duckworth on the military situation in Idaho.

Russian Troops failed to move further into Portland and were repelled back into Kenton taking a few casualties in the process.

But the Northern sectors of Kemps Bay were retaken by the Bahamanian troops. As for North America, both Idaho and Portland remain in a 3 day stalemate as Russian and US troops fail to make any breakthroughs as both sides end up in heavily fortified positions, it is rumored that Putin plans to send over more divisions soon enough, though that has not occurred yet. It has been reported that the Arizona Cowboys are also coming to assist the US troops. Later in the day at around 4:27 pm EST, Los Angeles Mayor Ben Shapiro was killed by a Russian operative who assassinated him outside the town hall on his way to Santa Monica.

The Russians were able to hold after being pushed out of Portland, but the Russian troops in Idaho have been pushed out in most parts of the states. Putin has called for an emergency meeting with the state Duma in which they discussed sending even more reinforcements into North America. Russia and Canada have already reached an agreement to not attack one another, leaving the war to primarily be between the US and Russia (with the exception of Brazil and Cuba vs the Bahamas).
