peteseeger:September 14, 2021 - Second American Civil WarAs the war drags into its ninth month, the Republican Salvation Front headed by disputed President Donald Trump has been steadily losing ground, the consequences of having to fight a war on so many fronts. As the Siege of Washington DC drags on, Trump quietly fled to Palm Beach, Florida, which has become the de facto seat of government in anticipation of the capital falling.Currently, only Wards 2 and 6 of DC remain under the control of the RSF. After breaking the blockade of Chesapeake Bay, forces of the Democratic Front for the Restoration of America’s Soul (DFRAS) led by General Wesley Clark have penetrated the interior of Virginia, and are anticipated to break through the RSF’s southern line within the day. Fighting is currently concentrated in the National Mall, where the forces of the Vermont People’s Army, allied to the DFRAS, have been engaging RSF forces in sorties and surprise attacks. Supreme Chairman Bernie Sanders of the People’s Republic of Vermont sent a message to his soldiers today, urging them to keep up the fight and to inflame their revolutionary fervor.The last remaining counties in Ohio loyal to the RSF fell to the DFRAS today, with the territory now divided between the DFRAS and the Minnesota Khaganate. Mondale Khan has rebuffed diplomatic overtures from the DFRAS, and indicated his intention to continue riding through Ohio, posing a potential new threat to Bidenist forces.The Khaganate continues its westward and southward expansion as well. After the surrender of the People’s Soviet of Kansas City last week, the Khaganate has now conquered nearly all of Missouri, with the exception of St. Louis, whose RSF garrison continues to hold out under siege.Mondale Khan released a circular to his people today, which read in part:“Horselords of Minnesota, this is your moment! Burn and savage the lands of the enemy, and add the spoils to the great treasury of Mondale Khan! Obliterate all who would stand against you, and do not cease your march until the waters of the Atlantic wash against the hooves of your steeds! Hold fast to your bows and keep full your quivers! Glory to Mondale Khan and to Minnesota!”The Western Alliance continues to ignore orders from the DFRAS to ally and subordinate itself to the Bidenist government, and delegates have begun to meet in San Francisco for a “Constitutional Convention of the Republic of West America.” Jay Inslee, appointed interim President by the Allied Assembly, released a statement saying that the old American order had proven itself a failure, and that the Western Alliance intended to build something new and better out of its ashes, rather than submit to a restoration of the status quo. DFRAS President Kamala Harris, who replaced Joe Biden at the head of the Bidenist cause after Biden’s sudden death by choking three days ago, did not comment on the Western Alliance’s intentions. With the Trumpist forces concentrated in the east, the Western Alliance has quickly taken several states, only being stopped in the RFS stronghold of Colorado. The Western Alliance has also not ventured into Kansas or Nebraska, which Mondale Khan has claimed as his territory. Western Alliance diplomats have been spotted in Saint Paul, leading to speculation that the Alliance seeks a non-aggression pact with the Khaganate in the postwar order.In the Republic of Texas, an interim constitution has been passed by the National Liberation Council. Council co-chairs Willie Nelson and Kinky Friedman declared it the next step in the revolution that began with the February coup establishing the Second Republic. After finally securing Oklahoma and quashing the Trumpist rebellion in Fort Worth, Texas has turned its attention eastwards, invading Louisiana and Mississippi to secure the Gulf of Mexico. Texas has also declared a non-aggression pact with the Minnesota Khaganate, important as both factions fight the RSF in Mississippi. South Carolina launched an counterinvasion of North Carolina today in response to an attempted invasion from the north by RSF forces. South Carolina’s push into Georgia, part of President Haley’s planned “March to Mar-a-Lago,” has stalled due to the need to divert troops to the new front. Initially neutral and claiming independence, South Carolina allied itself with the DFRAS last month as RSF made aggressive moves on the South Carolinian border.DFRAS President Kamala Harris once again called on Donald Trump to surrender peacefully today, insisting that there is still a chance to ensure a peaceful transition of power. Trump responded to the request, the 118th issued since the disputed election last November, by calling Harris “ugly and overrated” on his Twitter account. -- source link
