A Tangled Web of Enemies

This blog is fiction, but is based on real events. John McCain is not actually president right now. The real president thinks he is running a reality TV show, and is going for ratings, rather than what is good for the American people.

President John McCain signed a formal declaration of war today against the nation of Syria. Former president Barack Obama had sought a formal declaration of war, but had been denied by congress. This will give President McCain much more latitude in fighting the Syrian government and ISIS.

This declaration of war specifically names Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as a target, a move which is likely to increase tensions with Russia. This is important because Russia was the sole dissenting vote on the UN Security Council when the US asked the international body to authorize force against North Korea. North Korea has violated numerous UN resolutions in its testing of both nuclear weapons, and ballistic missiles. Its latest test failed this week, due to a faulty part sold to North Korea by China. China denies that it intentionally sold faulty weapons to North Korea after US President John McCain canceled the Trans-Pacific Partnership in exchange for China's support in the UN security council.
