Your Family Cold War Update

This afternoon I figured that I would you provide an update on the Family Cold War. This weekend Kim Jong Il (our twelve year old daughter) launched a pre-emptive "nuclear strike" against the United States (me), Russia (her mother) and China (another family member). This missile strike came with little warning but was not entirely a major surprise either. The first nuclear exchange was between North Korea (Kim Jong Il) and Russia. North Korea launched an ill-advised and haphazard strike (Kim Jong Il's current claim to fame) which led Russia to launch a "missile and tank" barrage in return for being betrayed by an ally. North Korea then launched another all-out strike against a then neutral U.S. whom had sworn themselves to stay out of the fight unless provoked. The U.S coming to Russia's aid then launched another "assault" on North Korea's defenses. In what had to be Kim Jong's finest hour another strike was immediately launched at another ally in China and then in true Jong Il grace demanded to be rescued by China. This led China and Russia to negotiate the possible truce with North Korea while the U.S. and North Korea dueled with air strikes until cooler heads provailed and a "cease fire" was established. Right now, U.S. forces are on DefCon 2 waiting for the next battle despite the fact that it's pigeon holed President is actively debating whether or not any of thi sis worth all the bloodshed. On a positive note, the U.S. and Russia have been talking about their mutual national security interests and have forged a very fragile alliance in defense from North Korea. However, the tanks are all on stand-by and a mild nuclear winter has fallen. Good times have been had by all. We are all waiting for the UN peace keepers so we can all pick them off one by one. At least the family will all be "fighting" against someone else besides each other.
