World War 3
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh
While no one can be completely sure if it was deliberate or not, World War 3 started on December 17th, 2022. A Russian Kinzhal missile, intended for an arms convoy from Poland into the Ukrainian city of Lviv, malfunctioned and struck the Polish town of Przemyśl. The missile ended up striking an elementary school, and prompted a quick response from NATO. Article 5 was immediately enacted and multiple jets entered Ukrainian airspace. NATO had complete control of the airspace over the Ukraine in less than 30 minutes, it would not last though. Russia responded, by initially, scrambling every working jet they had within range of the Ukraine, and ended up giving a better fight than they had previously, but it was more of a delaying tactic, for something much more sinister.
Approximately 45 minutes after NATO declared Article 5, dozens nuclear missiles were launched, targeting targets all through Europe and the United Kingdom, though surprisingly, none were launched at the United States. France and the United Kingdom responded in kind. Even with such a limited window of warning, missiles were intercepted, on all sides, though not all. From Russia's initial launching of missiles, 5 of them ended up striking targets.
